closed starter for dizzy tremaine ( @bravekids )

the young king rarely had time for himself for the past almost 3 years of ruling, he had a kingdom to rule, school to attend, council to appease, citizens to satisfy, & isle children to save. today, however, is one of his few moments of freedom— no meetings, no important paperwork, nothing that needed his attention. being his mother’s son, the first thing he did was visit arendelle’s local library to borrow a few books he’d been planning on reading months ago, second was to grab some food from a nearby cafe, & the last & current part of his plan is to search around & find a place that could hide him from the media. ben finds himself in the fashion district of auradon city, effectively dodging the media by entering certain clothing stores when they moved too close for his comfort. perusing the nearest clothes rack in the store he entered, ben busies himself in amusingly staring at the female clothing in front of him until the corners of his eyes caught sight of a familiar set of accessory-filled hair. he turns to the side, a friendly smile forming, “ dizzy ! ” he greets with enthusiasm, “ it’s great to see you again. ”

UMA / BRIIGHTESTSTARR

(¸.• ♛ → That answered took her by surprise just a bit. Uma knew how awfully kind he was and of course he was going to blame himself but in her eyes, yeah, he has part of the blame or well in general his family because the former king was the one that put everyone there and ben was the one that picked those that were out of the isle before and forgot about the others, that’s something that honestly just made her really angry. The sea witch just crossed her arms and listening to what he was now saying, listening carefully because it could be useful at some point.

“It was the only way to get the wand” She replied looking now at the young king “I didn’t believe, I knew it. I don’t know about your wishes to help, but I knew one thing, you picked four and then you forgot about the rest, that made me beyond angry, and don’t think just because some apologize after two years is going to just fade away” Because it wasn’t going to fade away that easily, she just couldn’t “I don’t bad blood but I do have resentment, look, I’m okay with you but that doesn’t mean that I forgot about everything”

right. he could understand that. he hadn’t moved fast enough, allowed the council to set the pace. yes, there’s stability in slowly integrating isle children to auradon, to keep the peace in this kingdom. but he should have treated it more as an emergency, treated it as though making them waste more time in the isle was too dangerous a concept, which it is. they were his people & he couldn’t excuse himself, no matter how difficult the first year of ruling was.

“ of course, ” ben replies with a grateful nod, forearm across his stomach as he bowed his head, “ that’s all i ask. ” to have her ‘okay’ with him was more than enough, even if his optimistic side had hoped for a ‘let bygones be bygones’ scenario. clasping his hands in front of him, the young king offers a bright smile before speaking once more, “ may i escort you to where you’re planning to go ? ”

MAL / ETCRNALMISCRY

@benevolenceunbroken ( ben )

ben was the number one reason that she had stayed in auradon the second time. if it weren’t for the gift that had proved his love for the true her she probably would have returned to the isle. those feelings of not belonging and fitting in were strong and over powering at one point. it was a stress factor on her when she had been conforming to the life that she thought she had to while she was the king’s girlfriend.

but all of that changed when she realized it. he loved her for exactly who she was. not the pretty blonde princess that faked her way through the things that she was required to do. it was everything to know that he loved her despite the background of coming from the isle. and that after that fatal day that he’d discovered just how she was managing to fit into auradon she was surprised that he ever would have forgiven him.

he did though. and that was a good thing. now two years later she loved him more than anything, of course she was still right by his side through everything that he had to do with being the king of auradon. but this time she was taking that step back when and if she ever needed it. it was something that she knew she had to make sure she was doing. it was the overloading that had driven her back to the isle the first time.

“ben!!” the purple haired female smiled as she turned to the other. “how has move in day been for you?” she asked him. it was the day that a lot of the villains were to arrive in auradon if they hadn’t already, and that meant that ben was going to be extremely busy. as was she though, especially being that she had signed up to help the new arrivals figure out there way around the new place. “i hope that i am not going to have to help uma or harry.”

two, almost three, years have passed since his coronation, since his first proclamation which allowed children of villains to step foot into auradon once more. as optimistic as ben was, is, there had been a part of him, a child in him that looked up to his parents & believed their words to be the absolute truth, that wondered if he was making the correct decision if his parents clearly disapproved & looked disappointed. it was quickly overpowered by his need to do good, to give everyone else the second chance his mom gave dad. & the young king’s glad that it did.

it may have been a struggle. what with the love potion, maleficent getting out, getting wished to the isle, bringing cj & freddie to auradon, getting kidnapped, zevon escaping, madam mim, the evil queen, cruella, & jafar escaping, going to the isle, getting kidnapped again, & getting love spelled. not to mention having to persuade the citizens of auradon to continually support his decision & calming down their fears. but its worth it. its worth greeting every villain kid & giving them what they deserve, repenting for his parents’ decision that caused them to suffer for so long.

ben finds himself in the same situation he usually can be found in when not behind a desk, going through yet another contract while occasionally being stopped to answer a question or sign a paper. he was reading the recent reports on the villain transfers when he heard mal talking. immediately, he removes the business headset he wore most of the time, turning it off completely, his gaze leaving the contract & focusing on her. the young king realized, after mal had left auradon two years ago, that he had a number of faults in their relationship that needed to be fixed. he’d burdened her with being his lady, gave her responsibilities that she didn’t ask for, barely had time to spare for their relationship, & more.

it was due to this eye opener that he’d placed a rule on himself, to drop everything that didn’t need a response as soon as possible whenever she talked or whenever they had something planned. “ tiring but fun, ” he spoke with a wide smile on his lips & a pleased glint in his eyes, the past few days have been too busy to sleep or even close his eyes for a few moments, but everything’s going smoother than anticipated. “ i don’t recall the assignments but i’m sure it’ll be great !! ” while he couldn’t volunteer himself due to his busy schedule & need to look impartial, the idea of helping one of the isle children settle down seemed amazing, “ are you ready to meet whoever they are ? ”

EVIE / RCVCRIC

@benevolenceunbroken ( ben )

when evie first brought up bringing more villain kids to auradon to the king and her friend, ben, last thing she thought would happen two years after was to have everyone from the isle here. it was something that at first concerned her, knowing from experience just how some people were, the way they acted, and the things they believed in. but after most of their arrivals she was no longer worried, at least not as much as she was when it all became official and people began to arrive. so far and for the most part things were working out smoothly, with no major incidents occurring. as the blue haired girl headed to her dorm she was stopped by the sight of the male. “oh hey ben!” evie greeted him, grin across her features. “how’s everything runnin ?” she inquired.

it’s been a busy week. month. year. for the young king of auradon. ever since his first declaration of bringing mal, evie, carlos, & jay to auradon, he’d been faced with opposition at almost every turn. his own parents were hesitant in supporting him, though they maintained a united front, their were royals who disliked it, & his people were uneasy with his declaration. still that had worked out. now that he was letting out more children & even some villains, however, they were stirring up again— keeping him busy in trying to assure auradonians & help ease the ‘villains’ transition back to auradon. ben led a trail of helpers, working even as he paced throughout the hallways, carefully reading each document presented to him. he almost didn’t hear or see evie until the familiar flash of blue hair made him stop his tracks. “ evie, ” he greets, a bright smile forming at the sight of his friend & advisor, “ good. good.... great even. it’s not running as smoothly as i hope but i’m optimistic about our recent transfers. ”

ARABELLA / ETCRNALMISCRY

@benevolenceunbroken ( ben )

dripping water as the brunette pulled herself from the enchanted lake. “you know ben i never thought that i’d actually be thankful that you were born first.” she mused for a moment as she sat near the basket of snacks mrs. potts had prepared for their day trip at the lake. sure mal was with them too, they went everywhere together basically. but arabella had never had an issue with mal. actually considered her to be a good friend.

“but even so, i just want to tell mom and dad you know?” she looked at him for a small moment. it was something that she still hated. the fact that she was asking greer to keep things between them a secret. ben was someone that she trusted more than anything. he was ultimately the person that she had been close to. except for sebastian, he was the one there for her when ben couldn’t be. but still talking to ben made everything feel better to her.

maybe it was because of the connection that she shared with him. being that the two of them were literally only a few minutes apart in age meant that they had done everything together in their childhood. “i mean like it’s unfair that greer has finally gotten to live her life off the isle and now i’m making her stay hidden about who she loves. i mean i wouldn’t want to be put in that situation either.” she continued to explain.

“but i’m also scared of telling them. what if they are disappointed in me?” the brunette looked down to the powdered donut in her hand. “i mean i saw mom, she almost had a heart attack when you told her that you were with mal. but this seems worse. i mean she is the daughter of gaston. the same guy that tried to marry mom and get rid of dad.”

rest & relaxation. it was the subtle order given by the former ruling couple to the young king, who spends most of his days behind a desk, working his heart out. two years of ruling alone has taken a toll on him, his back aching from slumping down in exhaustion every night, hand marked with the curves of his pens, eyes slightly red from dryness & lower lids darker than normal. though he was probably expected to sleep the day away, ben much preferred to waste the day away with his girlfriend & sister, resting on top of the picnic basket, eyes closed & listening to soft music.

lifting the shades he’s wearing to glance properly at arabella, he pushes himself up to a sitting position, reaching forward to pause his music, before placing his full attention on her. ben softly smiles at her comment, knowing full well that the effects of ruling alone has taken a toll on his body. he’s glad he’s born first. if only to have the best access into changing the world for those stuck in the isle & to prevent his sister from having to deal with her choices having a drastic consequence. his leap of faith when it came to mal & the others had caused him auradon’s & his parents’ disappointment during family day, & he wouldn’t wish that on his sibling— even if he & the four had proven everyone wrong.

grasping arabella’s closest arm, he pulls her towards him, quickly wrapping an arm around her shoulder for a one-sided hug. while he would never truly understand her fears or hesitation, their situations different no matter the easy comparison, he can emphatize with it. telling their parents that he was dating mal had been far more nerve-wracking than suggesting to free 4 villain kids & disappointing them felt more painful than being hit during tourney. he’d been lucky to know that mal would have been worth everything, even his kingdom, due to the visions he had of her. tightening his hug, ben spoke softly yet confidently, trying to instill a confidence within arabella that he can’t truly give, “ they can never be disappointed at you, ara. you’re a wonderful daughter, a brilliant student, an amazing princess, a perfect sister, & so much more. they’ll be a fool to even think that & we both know mom’s not one. ”

the young king can visualize the train of thought she holds, recalling every history lesson & their father’s infamous temper. he can already picture his father’s attitude at the news. still. ben is optimistic. if their parents can accept his choice of freeing some people from the isle then they can learn to accept this. father may shout but he’ll calm down. “ i can’t say you wouldn’t get any resistance coming from them but... i KNOW they’ll accept this sooner or later & they know better than to judge someone based on their parent. ” his hand rubs up & down her arm for comfort, trying to pull her closer even though there’s almost no distance between them, “ do you need any support when telling them ? ”

CHIP / WIICKEDKIDDOS

@benevolenceunbroken

“Have you been at it all day, ser?” Chip looked at the young king, tea in one hand and a small cupcake in the other. He hadn’t seen the royal family in a while; having been busy at his shop. He did miss visiting the family; usually checking in on Luc to make sure he wasn’t doing anything drastic. Chip stepped forward with a small smile.”Care from some tea and a cupcake?”

“ i have, ” he responds with a tired smile, his eyes dropping down from glancing at his old friend & finger tips reaching up to massage his heavy set of eyelids. his days are filled with balancing his school work & running the whole of auradon, going so far as to truly merge days by not sleeping. when he wasn’t working on his two priorities, the young king would use the day to spend time with mal, knowing full well that he hasn’t been giving his lady as much attention as she deserves from him. straightening his shoulders to project an energy he’s lacking, ben offers a brighter smile before nodding, “ please & thank you, chip. & please... sit... tell me about your shop. ”

UMA / BRIIGHTESTSTARR

(¸.• ♛ → She turned around and looked at the guy now, crossing her arms “You know…?” She began saying but this time look away to look at the sea once again, it’s been a while, two years and now they are seeing each other for the first time in those years “If you are here to thank you and apologize for what I did before…hell must freeze first” Because she wasn’t going to apologize for something she knew in her heart was something that she needed to do for her people.

@benevolenceunbroken liked for a starter

ben had opened his mouth, ready to spout his new & very much improved welcoming speech, when she began to talk. the young king listened in, shaking his head as soon as she finished. “ never, ” he spoke with as much passion & honesty as he held, he’d never ask for such things. he had been the one at fault. surely, if he had listened to evie he wouldn’t have been kidnapped, & if he had just listened more intently to uma, she wouldn’t have found it necessary to cast a love spell on him.

straightening his posture, ben’s head dips down as he apologizes. “ i should be the one to apologize, for what happened in cotillion. you must have believed that the only way to get everyone else out of the isle was to spell me & i apologize for not making my wishes to help clearer. i also would like to thank you, for showing me a side of the isle, for reminding me that they’re my people too. ” ben stops, lips pressing together as he tries to properly announce his thoughts instead of the rambling words wishing to leave his mouth. “ you’re one of the reasons this project has sped up & i hope that my faults during our last meeting would not leave any bad blood between us ? ”
