Lucien nodded playfully. “So dramatic I’m trying to figure out where we left your crown and sash.” Lucien laughed as Benedict’s antics and then glared. “Hush if you keep saying that I’m going to have to show you how evil I can be.”

[benedict-avery-blog]

“I don’t know. I have several different sets so you would think that we would know where at least one of them is.” Ben grinned rolling his eyes. “Aww Lucien I thought you were trying to say that you weren’t evil? Would someone who wasn’t evil make that kind of threat? I don’t think so.”

Jessup smiled at the pout and stood, offing the other a hand. “No. Don’t seem like it did. It threw you off real quick like. Maybe you shouldn’t test the furniture so much?”

[benedict-avery-blog]

Benedict took the other male’s hand smiling shyly at him as he climbed to his feet. He really hated embarrassing himself in front of strangers. “I probably shouldn’t but I would hate for the furniture to think that it won against me.”

[lucien98435-deactivated20170702]

Lucien blinked as Benedict kind of freaked out and then he snorted. “You are definitely still pretty even if you are extra dramatic.” Then he looked playfully offended as he heard the idea that he had somehow orchestrated him falling ot of his chair. He huffed. “And how did I manage that.”

[benedict-avery-blog]

“Dramatic?” Ben huffed his breath glaring at Lucien. “Did you just say dramatic? That chair is evil! Evil Lucien!!” Benedict was almost jumping in the air as he waved his arms in the air to try to prove his point. “I don’t know how you did it! I’m not evil so obviously I don’t know the ways of an evil person.”

“What? I found him outside. I figured he might be hungry. The kitchen has tuna right?”

[benedict-avery-blog]

“Oh my god! A kitty!” Benedict practically ran the other male over as he tried to pet the cat. “It’s so cute! Can I hold it? Lemme pet it. Awww pretty kitty!”

[lucien98435-deactivated20170702]

Lucien hurried over when he saw the guy fall over. He managed not to laugh mostly because he wasn’t sure if the guy was hurt or not. “Are you alright Eggs?” He moved to help the guy up and chuckled. “Your chairs possessed huh?”

[benedict-avery-blog]

Benedict freaked out a little when Lucien walked over to him after he fell. “Lucien! Don’t look at me! I am not pretty right now.” He whined over dramatically as he righted himself with Lucien’s help. “I think you had something to do with this. It sounds like the ind of evil plan you would come up with.”

Talon had only been half paying attention to his surroundings, much more focused on his book and cigarette to look around at what was going on. That was, at least, until he heard the sound of scraping chair legs and a muffled scream as someone in front of him hit the floor. He stood up and immediately went over to help, kneeling down to get a better look at the guy. “Woah, man. You good?”

[benedict-avery-blog]

Benedict looked around quickly after falling hoping that no one had seen him landing in an unappealing sprawl on the floor. Of course someone had though. He smiled up at the man scrambling into a sitting position on the floor. “Yeah. I umm I do stuff like that a lot. I’m a but of a klutz.”

[harperyagerjoy]

“I don’t know how someone could ignore you.” He whispered as he saw the other’s pout push out on his lip. Harper had a persistence, if he didn’t like someone or something he’d either walk away or completely ignore the situation and yet Ben had forced his way in without even giving the other the opportunity to disagree.  “I find that hard to believe. You trap people every day- I highly doubt it’s because they dislike you.” He found himself being sincere, he could see Benedict capturing people’s hearts and those people not wanting to let go. With the head on his shoulder’s, Harper’s one hand pulled the other closer, while another went to the back of his head, gently caressing his hair before placing a gentle kiss to the top of his head. “It’s okay, I don’t think I’d care for you as much if you weren’t awful.”

[benedict-avery-blog]

Benedict sighed softly as Harper pet his hair. It was really soothing and he thought that it would probably put him to sleep if they weren’t dancing. “People can ignore me. I’m not always as bold with some people as I am around most. Sometimes I get a bit intimidated. I don’t trap people! I don’t even know what you’re talking about. Give me an example of how I’ve trapped someone.” He bit Harper’s shoulder softly partly in retaliation and partly just because he felt like it. Are you admitting to caring for me? Aww Harper! I know that we were friends! You can never take it back now.”

[olympictimek]

“No, you see…I have a friend who is actually a staff member here that has those puppy eyes. I’m very good at saying no to them in a whole range of ways, especially when I know something bad is going to happen.” Timek laughed as he found himself stalling, his body leaning against the wall as he looked over Benedict.

[benedict-avery-blog]

“It’s very mean to say no to puppy eyes. Nothing bad would happen in this case. I guarantee that you can’t think of one bad thing that could happen if you gave into my puppy eyes.” Benedict grinned moving to lean against rh wall a little ways away from the other male.

[jessupfontaine-blog]

Jessup saw the other fall out of his chair but was too far away to catch him. He rushed over them and knelt down beside them. “Hey man, you okay?”

[benedict-avery-blog]

Benedict looked up at the stranger as a small pout formed on his lips. “I’m okay thank you. I guess the chair didn’t like me tilting in it. I probably should learn to keep it fully on the ground.”

[benedict-avery-blog]

Benedict had been squirming around in his chair not really paying attention to what he was doing when he fell out of it taking the chair with him. “Ahhhh!” He screamed out of habit more than anything else as he ended up sprawled in an uncoordinated heap on the floor.

[harperyagerjoy]

Ben was- someone that Harper actually felt good around- someone that made him feel important and wanted in a way he wasn’t used to. “Oh is that it? Here I thought that was the advantage of being a client- no one could ignore you.” The smile was already on his face, what was the point in even trying to push it away now. Ben enjoyed it too much though, he could tell just by the look on the other’s face. “So you would make sure they fell in love, like everyone else, and then push them aside when they were no longer any use to you and break their hearts?” he teased has he let the other dance with him, his arms wrapping around him. “I’m not whining, I’m telling the truth.” He laughed, his head leaning back with a shake and a smile, “You’re just awful and don’t know it yet.” Harper whispered as he pulled in closer, nudging their noses together.

[benedict-avery-blog]

“I’ll let you in on a secret dearest. People can still ignore you. Honestly I don’t know why anyone would want to ignore me but some do.” He said with a pout as he continued to drag Harper all around the dance floor. “If someone were to kidnap me I would certainly get away from them as soon as possible. Don’t worry though Harper. No one falls in love with me so my captors are safe from heartbreak.” Benedict smiled moving to lay his head on the other’s shoulder. “You whine all the time. Don’t try to deny it. As for me being awful I fully admit to it. I am awful.”

[olympictimek]

“How about this- I’m just going to leave and come back when you rethink whatever it is you just said.”

[benedict-avery-blog]

“What is there to rethink? Stay so I can keep staring at your cuteness. Don’t make me use puppy eyes.”

[harperyagerjoy]

There was something about Benedict that Harper would rather not let get to him, perhaps it was too easy to fall into traps- have the other take whatever he wanted if he could wrestle a smile from him. “Is that why people put up with you? I knew it had nothing to do with your personality.” He teased the other softly, though loud enough to be heard over the music. A small sigh, and soon the staff member found himself shaking his head. He did find Ben charming- though that was something that would be deeply hidden for as long as he could manage it. “They’d return you the instant you started talking.” This time he did laugh, the smile on his features as he tried to look away the moment that it happened- jesus, god damn Ben. “Why do you have to do these things? I probably look like an idiot…” 

[benedict-avery-blog]

Benedict loved spending time with Harper. He was always happy to annoy the other male endlessly. “It is why people put up with me. I’m simply too adorable to ignore. My personality is horrible I agree but I am lovely. It’s why you put up with me of course.” He grinned as Harper shook his head. He was really getting frustrated with Ben and he loved it. “They would not. I have a lovely speaking voice. They would return me after I was a horrible jerk and left them crying in a puddle of tears.” There it was. The smile he had been working for all night. Harper was always attractive but he was breathtaking when he smiled. Ben couldn’t think of a lovelier sight. “I have to do them because you insist on challenging me. You look breathtaking Harper so stop your whining and pouting.”

[franksxntoro]

“I am alright. No need to worry about me and I don’t want to bring down your mood. You seemed to be having a great time on your own.” 

[benedict-avery-blog]

“Don’t worry my mood is just fine. In fact it might even be improved now that you’ve given me someone to annoy.”

[harperyagerjoy]

“You’re cute alright, but you’re also annoying as sin- I don’t know how anyone really puts up with you.” He looked at the other from the side of his eyes before quickly looking away. Harper knew exactly what Benedict wanted, just a flash of a smile, and giving him that right now seemed way too easy. “I’m letting you bring me to the dance floor, isn’t that fun enough for you?” He nudged the other the moment he saw that pout- it didn’t look good on the other’s face, and it was twisting something in his body, even if it was just a playful pout. “I’ll go back to my chair, and leave you to the lions on the dance floor- though once they see you dance…” He teased back, trying to stop the small smile curving on his lips.

[benedict-avery-blog]

Benedict had no doubt in his mind that he would win a smile from Harper. After all if the other man wasn’t going to give him one then why would he let Benedict drag him out on the floor to dance? “Aww come on Harper. People put up with me because I’m pretty. I thought that was obvious. I know I’m insanely annoying. You think it’s charming though even if you refuse to admit it. You letting me drag you out here is quite fun for me but it doesn’t satisfy me. I want to see that pretty smile.” Ben smiled nudging Harper back as he took both of his hands and twirled him around on the dance floor. “You will do no such thing. How could you even threaten to leave little old me out here all alone? What if someone kidnapped me?”

[captgreypierceperses]

Benedict was pushing him- and that was something that Nik appreciated, though he liked when his boys played nice, obeying his every ordered, it was good to have someone who didn’t every once and a while. “I can tell you don’t tend to listen- the sign of a very bad boy.” He grinned as he took another step forward. It took all his strength not to lean forward and pull the man to him, instead focusing that need into just tapping his own thigh. “The games I have in mind now wouldn’t be too fun for you- you’ll most likely get off on it, but it may take you a while.” He spoke clearly, the smile staying on his lips as he pushed himself up from his chair finally.

[benedict-avery-blog]

Benedict quite enjoyed acting like a brat. He was never one to follow orders very well. It just never seemed to be any fun to him. “I don’t really have a use for that particular skill. I’ll leave listening to someone else. I wouldn’t say that I’m bad. Just a bit difficult.” Ben grinned not at all apologetic for his behavior. “Well these games don’t sound very fun. That kind of defeats th whole purpose of calling it a game. A game suggests that something will be fun.” Benedict couldn’t help the little pout that formed on his lips as he spoke. When the other male stood up he almost took a step back but quickly decided against it. He was having too much fun pushing the other’s buttons.

[franksxntoro]

“It is nothing against you personally. I promise. It’s a pretty dangerous challenge, as you can probably guess. There’s no need to make me smile. I’m fine this way.” 

[benedict-avery-blog]

“Hmm. It would probably be dangerous and I’m not one to put myself in harms way. I guess you not smiling is fine as long as you’re pleasant.
