Benjamin x Elena — Activity Prompt
@brokenprincesx
Why was he like this? Why did he let her get under his skin? Why did he like it so much? Ben was an idiot despite how smart he actually was. Elena Bryne was an itch he couldn’t scratch. She was annoying, ever constant, and impossible to ignore. And he indulged her, tried to return the favor and annoy her as much as she annoyed him. And it just made things worse. He really liked her, he really did. Hence why he was chasing her now through the trees to get his book back that she stole. Stupid camping forcing them near each other more than usual. Catching up, he grabbed her by the waist and pushed her against a tree gently. “You really think you could run from me?” An amused grin formed despite everything.
Elena’s mind was in a constant state of alertness whenever it came to Benjamin. She knew better than to let anyone close, her past experiences telling her it was for the best - for her safety. But, Benjamin was different. Despite his constant need to annoy her, challenge her to no end, she found herself intrigued and wanting to know more. She could feel her walls crumbling when around him which terrified her yet, she couldn’t stay away. You would think with the open space they’d be able to stay further away from each other but, no. Camping was specifically designed to force the royals to interact and be mear each other - cutting off all other forms of entertainment. And being that the prince was one of the few she could actually bare to be around, she found herself gravtiating towards him. And it was instances like this that sparked excitement and worry within her.
Her legs continued to carry her through the woods, a faint smile on her lips. It was childish, simply running off with his book. But, it’d been the first time in a while she had dropped her cold exterior and it felt somewhat nice. She could hear the footsteps following behind her and before she knew it, she was being pressed against a tree. “ I figured I had a chance,” the Irish femme mused, hues locking on his face as she attempted to keep the smile from her face, “Especially when you stumbled back there. Thought we were going to have to call a rescue team.”
