daisy nodded her head. she did feel a little bad for questioning him; he was kitty’s friend and he had been a pretty nice date until he wasn’t a date at all. she really didn’t know what she was doing. it wasn’t like she hadn’t still gotten her midnight kiss…..sighing, she spoke again. “okay, benny. i think it’s fair to say we shouldn’t be like…..doing this again, yeah? you’re super sweet, and i do like you. i just feel like we probably should have gone to this dance with other people. i think that is super fair to say, right? right. so…..i mean, like if you wanna ditch me again for this person, that is totally cool.”

his mouth opens to say something, an instant reaction to try defending himself or fighting for whatever it was they had between them, but after less than a second it closes again and he nods. it wasn’t fair of benny to do any of this to daisy - it wasn’t right to have come with her to the ball in the first place when he was still so hung up and confused by the mel situation. and it certainly wasn’t okay that he ditched her and ran off with another girl instead, especially when that other girl was the one he still held such strong feelings for. “if that’s what you want, then yeah. that’s... that’s probably for the best,” he agrees, hoping that the guilt he felt in the moment wasn’t too clear in his words. but what was the point of even pretending like he was getting over mel and moving on with someone new when it clearly wasn’t working.

mel-ancholymuse:

mel opens her mouth to protest or at the very least defend her sentiment. but she decides against it, realizing that perhaps unfair wasn’t the right word, even if the feeling was correct. “i’ve been trying to figure it out.” she begins, sighing a little as she does so because as much as she hates having to talk about this she does at least owe him some kind of explanation. “bit of an understatement, but yeah.” she nods in agreement, settling on complicated in this instance. chaotic, confusing, disastrous – that’s what this was. but complicated worked just fine. she will admit however she’s a little surprised that benny’s willing to leave it at just that. surely, he’s got a lot to say – hans certainly did. and what exactly was the point of ruining the mood by bringing it up without actually talking about it. but she wouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. “yeah,” she nods, small frown touching her face as she looks at benny and thinks of all the tension they lived in right now. tension she created. “well, there’s nothing to figure out anymore i guess.” she finishes with a bitter laugh, as if this was the first time she’s really thought about the status of her relationship. or rather, former relationship.

as she gives him the same line she’d told him a few weeks ago, benny just nods his head again. it’s not that he doubts that mel’s been trying to figure it out, but a small part of him had hoped that maybe by now she would know one way or the other. that they could be taken out of this weird and frustrating limbo they’ve been stuck in for the past near month. and then when she says there’s nothing left to figure out and let’s out a humorless laugh, his heart stops for a second. “what do you mean?” he asks, voice laced with concern even though benny’s not sure if he wants to hear the answer. after the way she reacted to seeing him, he likes to hope that it didn’t mean anything negative regarding him, but there was still a spark of doubt that maybe it could be.

“Clio says they might not be there so maybe they’re not,” Teri shrugs, glancing over at her sister (who has long ago lost interest in this conversation) for confirmation. “Ooooh yeah let’s do it!” she nods eagerly, knowing in the back of her mind that her sister would have a lot to say if she ever found out about this. But what Mel will never know won’t hurt her. She’s never even been the confrontational type, her position in their friendship to stand back and nod as Penny does the confronting, but after weeks of bouncing theories back and forth she’s ready for some answers. Letting out a high pitched squeal of surprise as Penny approaches him with no holds bared, it’s no surprise to see the shock reflected on Benny’s face. “Hi Benny!” Teri calls from the phone to bring their attention to her presence too, waving to her sister’s friend from the screen. She’s not all that good at this, her own energy not quite matching her best friend’s. “You know, you and Mel…” she trails off, eyes wide as though it’s obvious, staring intently at her phone screen to get a good read on him. They don’t know for sure what actually happened between them — and her love and admiration for her sister has her rooting for Mel — but she hopes to get confirmation one way or another. When no one tells them anything they just have to do the detective work themselves. @mizzprouds

the audacity. penny can’t believe benny has the nerve to sit there and pretend he has no idea what she’s talking about. she’s about to call benny out on playing dumb with her when teri greets him, excitement and joy still clear in her voice. “what?” penny looks at the phone screen, eyes narrowed at teri before she looks back up at benny. “give us one second please.” and without waiting for a response she steps away from benny and the table. it’s not far enough for benny to not overhear, but he should honestly stay out of black women’s business on this one. “teri! you’re not supposed to be all happy when you talk to him. you’re supposed to have my back!” to be fair, penny knows in hindsight that teri is far too much of an angel to ever be good at confronting anyone. penny had always been the one who could bring the hostile energy if need be. but considering this involved mel’s confusing ass love life, she thought teri would at least try. “we’re gonna try this again.” penny declares, turning on her heels and marching back over to benny. “’sup homewrecker.” she repeats, giving a pointed look at teri through the phone to make sure she gets it right this time. @bennyshippe

Hearing the familiar voice of Mel’s little sister, Benny’s eyes flash down to the phone where Teri was currently displayed, waving to grab his attention. The confusion he felt moments ago only increases at this new development, but he tries his best to hide it as he raises a hand of his own in a return wave. “Hey Teri?” he questions, looking between both girls for a moment as he tried to piece together what they meant. Though as the youngest Muse girl mentions himself and Mel it makes a bit more sense - things finally clicking right as Penny excuses herself and takes a small step away to yell at her friend through the screen. He’s thankful for that moment to gather his thoughts, to put together everything they were implying in this confrontation. So when Penny turns back and greets him again, calling him a homewrecker once more, all Benny can do is shake his head a little. He wants to declare that he’s not a homewrecker and that they’ve got everything a bit mixed up - but he knows better than to jump in now. Instead he just stays quiet, looking back down at the screen to wait for Teri to regreet him before he explains himself. @terithemuse

daisydukeduh:

daisy knew bullshit when she saw it because she produced so much bullshit she considered herself an expert. but she wasn’t gonna call him out on that. why? because as much as she wanted to care that he was lying to her, she didn’t. he was nice and all, but daisy wasn’t that hurt. she just couldn’t not make a little bit of a scene and her anger was more so about not having someone there for her at midnight. “kay. well, it was still like, not that cool. but it’s fine or whatever cause you’re here. so. you can make it up to me somehow, i’m sure.” the idea of him owing her was a better concept than her throwing her drink at him to prove she was mad. “did you have fun with this friend though? like, was it a good time?”

owing daisy something and the promise of making it up to her later seemed like too easy of a cop out in benny’s eyes, but he wasn’t going to fight it. he’d expected far worse than this and would happily accept what he was given. “i will, i promise.” or at least, he hoped he’d be able to. what exactly it was daisy may want in the future, they didn’t know, but still benny was confident it’d be better than having a fight right now or being called out any further. “uhh.. we did, yeah. caught up for a bit. i... haven’t seen them in a few months. so it was nice.” also not a lie, but a very simplistic way of explaining where he’d been the past few hours.

dropping down onto his couch, benny ran a hand through his hair as he looked over at both of his best friends. eventually they were going to realize something was up, if they didn’t already, and there was really not point in trying to avoid it. besides it might actually help to talk about it a bit - even if he knew he was going to get advice he didn’t want to hear and likely wouldn’t end up following. it was strange - this entire situation with mel - for so many reasons, but the main one for benny being the fact that it left him for one of the first times in his life not listening to kitty or lucy. “so... how did your new years nights go?” he asks, deciding to just jump right into it. they hadn’t had a chance to really discuss the masquerade much, too distracted by benny’s birthday two days afterwards. @itswyldstyle // @cuckockitty

daisydukeduh:

daisy was not a nice person by any means. she was capable of niceness, she was good to her friends and her family, but she was also very selfish. she knew she could be selfish. but when she agreed to go to the ball with benny it was because he was the opposite of her. at least she thought she was. yes, when they had separated she had spent time with donald and got drunk with kitty. yes, she still had expected benny to be there when she was done. and yes, she was aware that it was wrong but that didn’t mean it didn’t piss her off a little bit. well, more so than normal because she was drunk. “mhm. benny, benny, benny. i cannot believe you just….left me hanging. i didn’t even leave you hanging! for like, more than a minute! or an hour.

there’s a slight wince before he starts nodding his head. “i know, i know. you didn’t leave me hanging at all,” he reassures, even though benny’s fairly certain daisy doesn’t feel bad about the time she spent with other people at all. especially not in comparison to how guilty they feel in the moment. “i... i met up with a friend and time just got away from us.” it’s not even really a lie, but it sure does feel like one in comparison to what actually happened. which she easily could call him out on - considering there were fairly high chances she had seen it was mel he had spent the entirety of the later half of the night with... and she was very much known to be more than just an old friend of his.

mel-ancholymuse:

the shift in mood is sobering in a way. once her attention is taken from her dress and placed back on him, eyes taking note of the way his smile from earlier is gone, she frowns. it shouldn’t crush her this much to see him like this, to watch the happiness slip from him as the very real and complicated nature of their relationship weighs on him. but it does crush her, and maybe it’s selfish of her to wish they could go back to a few moments ago where she was in his arms and he was smiling at her, for her, because of her. but mel really doesn’t want to have this conversation right now, or ever. “c’mon,” she begins with a sigh, looking down at her hands as she tries to think of the right way to say this. “that’s not really fair benny.” is all she can find though as she looks back up at him. she knows it’s not fair of her to shut him out and not expect him to have feelings about it, and she’s not even mad that he does have whatever feelings he does about it. she’s not mad at all actually, just struggling under the weight of a problem she created. “you know i wanted to talk to you.” there’s no way he couldn’t know that, not after she told him she loved him. there can’t still be that uncertainty between them…could there? “it was just…” she makes a weak gesture with her hands as if to emphasize how complicated it all was without having to vocalize it.

“is it not?” he questions before he can stop himself, frown deepening as he considers whether or not he’s being unfair here. it doesn’t feel like it. in fact, it almost feels like if anyone was the one acting in the wrong towards the other it would be... her. benny hates the thought and feels guilty for even letting it cross his mind, but it doesn’t seem fair of mel to be upset with him for wanting to talk about it. even if it did ruin the mood. “complicated?” he finishes for her with a nod. “yeah, i... i know.” there’s a pause as he debates saying more, but in all honesty benny doesn’t trust himself to speak right now. not with so many thoughts running through his head - about how long she’s been here, how much of that time was spent with hans, how she’s actively avoided talking to him in general for even longer than just the week back on the island. it’s frustrating, but he knows if it’s this hard on him it has to be at least equally if not twice as complicated for her. so with a small sigh, he musters on a smile and lifts his shoulders in a half shrug. “it is what it is, i guess. it’s fine. i know you need time to figure it out and i... i respect that.”

mel-ancholymuse:

it’s silly, the way her heart flips in her chest and joy shoots through her when he smiles. giddy — he makes her giddy, and there’s nothing more ridiculous than that, or at least she’d think that when sober. but right now she leans into that moment of glee, giggling when he lifts her off her feet for a quick moment. “i missed you so much.” to anyone looking on this moment should come across as sweet, just two people excited to be reunited, happy and clearly in love. but there’s so much bubbling under the surface, so many things that make even this interaction complicated. or at least it should be complicated, but she’s well on her way to drunk and he doesn’t seem to be behaving rationally either. “that’s so sweet.” she smiles, always finding it sweet that the kids benny works with do little things like that sometimes. “thank you,” she grins, looking down at her dress “yeah! first she wanted to go with white but this just felt so much more like me, you know?” she even twirls around for effect. and she’s not necessarily wrong. the dark fabric of the dress, the exposed torso, the high slit — nothing reflected her more and she was forever grateful that thalia knew her so well. but she could sing her sister’s praises anytime. “how’s your night so far?”

it takes a moment for mel’s words to really sink in - benny’s gut reaction to hearing her say she missed him being elation and his own sense of longing, having missed her these past months as well. but then he realizes partially why that feeling had increased - missing more than just seeing her in person, but also simply just wanting to talk to her in general like they used to be able to. the last few weeks having been practically radio silence despite the move benny had made to try to reopen friendly conversation. so as she twirls and shows off her dress, the grin on benny’s face falters just a bit as a heaviness sinks in his stomach watching her. it wasn’t that mel had done anything wrong, at least not as far as he was concerned, but with their current situation back on the forefront of his mind it was hard to see her so happy and free and here. here on the island - like she had been for the past week without him having any clue. “i’ve been right here, you know,” he says instead of really answering the question - still so focused on her earlier words. his tone lightness that had previously been in his tone shifted to something more serious. “i’ve missed you too. but i’ve always been right here. i - i didn’t go anywhere.”

“Oh she won’t leave without us,” Kitty waves off Benny’s concern as she spins under his raised arm with a giggle. For as much as she seems to be having a bad time, Lucy would never up and leave without at least telling them first. “We definitely have time for one more drink.” Twirling Benny around once more on the dance floor, Kitty takes his hand with a laugh, pulling him away from the rest of the dancers in search of another drink. “So are you having fun?” she looks over at him hopefully, a bright smile lighting up her face. After everything he’s been through this past month she made it her mission to ensure he at least rings through the new year on a high note.

“But we should still probably get back to her soon. So she’s not just sitting alone all night.” Not that he thinks Lucy would necessarily mind doing exactly that, and Benny knows she does have other friends outside of them that she could hang out with during the ball, but he’d still feel bad if the majority of her night was spent alone when she didn’t even necessarily really want to be here that much. Ducking his head down quite a bit to twirl under Kitty’s own arm, he comes out of the spin and follows dutifully behind her. “Yeah! Of course I am,” he answers, shooting her a grin of his own to show he means it. “How about you?” Because for all Benny’s been going through his own drama and confusing love life, as far as he’s concerned it’s nothing compared to what Kitty’s been dealing with these past few months. And if anyone deserves to let loose and have a good time tonight, it’s certainly her.

the rush in of layla pulling mel away to leave the ball entirely was a wakeup call to benny - not in the way it probably should have been. because not for one second did he regret spending any of that time with her or having kissed her when the clock struck twelve - but it did make him realize how long he’d been away from the rest of his friends. moving about the ballroom, it was lucy or kitty he was searching for but it was someone who should have been far more important that he found instead. “oh shit,” he breathes as he catches sight of daisy standing not too far away. maybe now the tiniest bit of regret started to sink in. how could he have just... forgotten that he had come here with another woman? fuck. it takes a moment for him to decide what to do, but in the end he makes his way over towards her with a hesitant smile. “hey... i - uhh. sorry about sort of disappearing for awhile...” @daisydukeduh

nickswildbro:

nick waits on the line for drinks, knowing that he’s going to need one if he plans to make it much longer through this night. he contemplates getting a drink for ralph too but quickly gives up on that notion once he realizes the line is too long and ralph doesn’t deserve that effort. he’s content to stand here and mind his business, but then the person in front of him turns around and starts talking to him and it’s clear that notion is out the window. “no,” nick answers bluntly, not feeling the need to sugar coat his answer for the sake of a stranger. “hi benny. i’m nick.” and because he feels like he has to he continues. “how is your night?”

blinking for a second at the way the man so easily just... admitted that he wasn’t having a good time, it takes benny that moment to decide what to say in response. “i’m sorry?” he finally settles on, moving forward with the conversation instead of focusing on this. “my night’s been good, yeah.” there’s a moment or two that passes before benny thinks of something else to say. “my friend knows a guy named nick.” it’s... a strange comment to make, but it’s better than nothing as far as they’re concerned. “i doubt it’s you - there has to be at least a hundred nicks on the island. but also what a small world, right? ever been sent a basket of apology candies?” he chuckles with the last question, fully assuming there’s no way this could be the same nick that kitty had a newfound rivalry between.

when lucy had agreed to come to the ball, she did so knowing that she was more than likely going to be spending the bulk of her night at the table alone. kitty and benny would run off to have fun or mingle with their other friends, and lucy wouldn’t stop them – especially not for something as selfish as because she was bored. a part of her preferred it this way. so when benny comes back to the table with a plate of food she’s caught between being happy for the company and wanting to free them of having to waste their night with her. “what the fuck else do they have that cheesecake is the safe option?” she asks. cheesecake always seemed like a polarizing dessert – cream cheese not necessarily most people’s cup of tea. “but you’re right, i do like cheesecake. thanks.” was that one of the many things she’d never told benny and kitty? probably. she’s just about to reach across the table to grab a forkful of the dessert benny brought when she pauses. “you don’t have to stay here and keep me company if you don’t want to. you know that, right?”

“i... didn’t really know what most of the other stuff was. at least not at the desserts table,” he answers with a shrug. if benny had been getting food for someone else he would have grabbed one of each of the options, but they knew lucy well enough to feel confident that berry cheesecake bites would be a safe choice. and if for some reason it wasn’t he simply would go get her something else. picking up his fork and cutting off a chunk of his own treat, benny glances over at lucy with a grin before shrugging. “i know. but i want to. plus it’s nice to be able to just sit down for a little bit.” which was indeed true, but the bigger reason for him wanting to take a little break from mingling was mostly due to just wanted to spend time with lucy herself and make sure her night wasn’t completely terrible or lonely.

mel-ancholymuse:

after this drink she was cutting herself off. she’d made that promise to herself earlier in the night, swearing to Layla that she would only have the one drink. but like with most nights when she’s drinking, one drink is never just one drink. but this time she means it — she’s cut off. “benny!” she smiles brightly, turning her head in the direction of the voice calling her name. before she even has a real chance to look at him she knows it’s him, mind familiarized with his voice more than she’d care to admit. the past few weeks she’d replayed their last phone conversation in her head over and over again — there’s no way she wouldn’t know it’s benny. and when she looks at him, there’s very little of the anguish and stress she was sure would consume her the next time they saw each other. all she can think, in her intoxicated state at least, is how happy she is to see him. because underneath all that pain and indecision, she wanted to see him. so much so that she gets off the line and runs into his arms, giving him a hug she probably shouldn’t “yeah,” she nods, not really sure why he was so surprised to see her. it was the holidays — of course she was home though she couldn’t say the same for clio and teri. “just for the week though.” she adds, as if that helps him in anyway. “i love your tie by the way, it’s so cute!” she coos, running her fingers along the fabric of the spaceship tie he’s wearing.

when she calls out his name, benny can’t help the way his stomach and heart twist a little and the corners of his lips lift up in a smile. one that only grows as she steps out of line from the bar and rushes to wrap her arms around him in a hug. a hug that benny doesn’t hesitate in returning, his own arms coming around her middle as he lifts her off the ground for a moment with a laugh. “you’re here,” he repeats again, right before she fully confirms it. in all honestly, he should be potentially annoyed that mel’s been back on the island for a week now and hasn’t stopped by to see him once - but in the moment he doesn’t even think of that. he’s just too happy to have her here right now to consider the fact that she has likely been actively avoiding him this whole time. glancing down at the tie in her hand briefly before his eyes snap back up to hers, he chuckles once more. “thanks. one of the regular afternoon kids got it for me.” not that benny didn’t own a dozen other space themed ties - but this one in particular was always going to be a favorite now. “you look gorgeous as well. a thalia original, i’m guessing?”

A quiet night in isn’t usually how Teri likes to spend her new years, but this year it feels like the only option. After the attention they’ve been getting in the press the past couple months, both Teri and Clio were in need of a quiet night in, swapping out a party for movies and room service in their New York hotel. She couldn’t get through the evening without facetiming Penny first, though, unable to remember the last time they spent new years eve apart. What was supposed to be a quick call to say hello turned into Penny carrying the phone around the party for the past thirty minutes so Teri could ay hi to every single person at the party that she knows. “Okay, who’s next?” Teri asks eagerly, pretty sure there’s still a few people they haven’t managed to hit yet. // @mizzprouds @bennyshippe

while most people would sulk that their best friend was missing out on yet another event, penny had long since made her peace with the fact that teri would be thousands of miles away. being upset wasn’t going to change anything about it, so, instead she found the next best solution. just like at the winter festival, penny planned to spend as much time with teri on FaceTime as she could. even if people did think it was strange that she ran around the ball insisting that all of teri’s friends say hi to her virtually, penny was determined to do it. “hmmm, i still can’t find clio’s friends,” penny pouts, feeling a little bad that they couldn’t stop and say hi to Rosie and gigi for clio’s sake. looking around penny’s eyes gloss over the crowd, trying to pick out everyone she recognized based on the pictures they posted of their outfits on Instagram. but before she can spot an actual friend she sees someone sitting at a table, a head of curly hair and a spaceship tie on. “oooooh space camp’s here.” penny announces, it’s something that shouldn’t matter to either girl as much as it would but since teri told penny about hans and mel’s weird New Orleans day they’d been spending their time trying to figure out what was wrong between them. of all the theories they came up with the most obvious (or so penny thought) was that mel cheated on hans with her exe. if it were involving anyone else penny wouldn’t think it was her business, but teri’s favorite sister and penny’s own best friend (shout out to German buddy!) found themselves in a weird place. so, now it was their business. “wanna go yell at him?” teri doesn’t even get to answer because penny is already marching over there, prepared to tell benny all about himself. “what’s up homewrecker.” she greets, attitude dripping off her words as she does. @bennyshippe

with lucy gone and kitty off on the other side of the ballroom with some other friends, benny hadn’t expected anyone to approach him at the table he and his friends had claimed as their own when they first arrived. and he certainly hadn’t expected anyone to approach him with a greeting as harsh as that. “nothing?” he questions, unsure what he’s really supposed to say. it shouldn’t be so confusing - he knows penny is close with all the muses and after the whole mel situation it would only make sense that she’d be talking about that - but as the the accusation is thrown at him, all benny can do is wonder what the hell was going on. “what - what do you mean i’m a homewrecker?” @terithemuse

returning to the table with a plate of food, benny sits back down in the chair he had claimed as his own upon arrival to the ball. “i got you some cheescake bites,” he offers, setting the plate down in the space between himself and lucy. “i wasn’t sure if you’d want anything else, but cheesecake seemed like a safe enough option.” plus the dessert table had been far less crowded so early in the night - he had a plan to circle back to the other ones for some more substantial food later. @itswyldstyle
