Drabble for @dnawield // PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE
The moment he first laid eyes on Ben, Talon only wanted to flirt, maybe tease him a bit and be on his way. He never expected to want to see more of him. At first, he was in denial of the budding feelings that brewed in his chest. But his crush on Ben became more obvious when he began purposely causing mayhem to get his attention. Talon and Ben had more in common than he’d thought. More hobby wise, than family. They also both had a secret they couldn’t tell anyone else. During the day, the city would be a warzone—everything is in shambles when they fight. But by evening, forbidden love bloomed between them. They became something.
At that point, Talon was already too far in to back off. He already told Ben they’ll always be together. And he didn’t care if his uncle got angry at him for ‘being too soft’. Hand holding, cuddles and kisses took place between alleyways, far from the eyes of citizens and the local press. Especially the local press. If they found out about them, they’d blast it all over social media. Everyone would eat it up.
Dr. Claw would kill Talon.
So their love had to be a secret. Everyday, a new mission would crop up. Talon hated fighting Ben. Usually he’d never bat an eyelash when it comes to slamming his fists into his opponents. But guilt gradually rose and spilled over whenever he would fight him. So he’d time his attacks perfectly and send him far off where they could be alone. Occasionally making a mess of the area purposely. Now their fights became more like acting. Hopefully, it didn’t last too long.
Talon never admitted his feelings, at least not yet. He’s scared. When he wants to say something, his hands shake, his heart races. He’s borderline ready to have a panic attack. What if his uncle knows and isn’t saying anything? Talon’s ready to destroy what they have. He’s plotting, he’s planning and he’s going to strike—Ben won’t let him. Not physically. . . Ben isn’t doing anything. But Talon looks into those emerald eyes, that adorable smile and he sees home. And it’s like this until Talon loses his uncle and takes over M.A.D. He’s in shambles but Ben is there for him.
But Talon waits and waits and waits. He’s patient. Too patient. He’s waited all his life for his uncle’s validation. He never got it. And he believes Ben wouldn’t return… but little does he know, with a little more time, his home returns with his heart.
