Shakespeare wrote three scenes that involved Mercutio and Benvolio trading words, and it's apparent that when Benvolio speaks only one or two lines, Mercutio fills the rest of the page.

One is steady, loyal, forgiving, and the other is swiftly changing and unpredictable.Then there's Mercutio's more flamboyant and bawdy sense of humor compared to Benvolio's more dry sense.
Who does Romeo love at the beginning of act 1 scene 1?
Benvolio doesn't seem to love anybody in Romeo and Juliet. In fact at the end of 1.1, and again at the beginning of 1.2 he seems to be teasing Romeo about being in love with Rosaline. But Benvolio's teasing is quite gentle - so perhaps Benvolio has been in love himself at some stage. Mercutio also teases Romeo about his love for Rosaline (2.1, and again at 3.1) - but Mercutio's teasing is vicious and obscene. Mercutio clearly has some kind of an issue with girls.
