Ben is being quiet. Itās incredibly worrying.
Youād been waiting for them to get back from the mission on the couch, and heād stormed into the room like the world outside was on fire. Youād sat up with wide eyes, and heād gone perfectly still. His face had been red, his eyes blown out, his attention almost burning through you.
āBen?ā Youād whispered, unsure if you should be running to him, or as far away as you could get. āAre you- Is there something wrong-ā
Heād lurched back, blinking wildly. Youād sat up on your knees, ready to reach for him, and heād taken a staggered step back.
āBen-ā
Heād marched into the meeting room like something was dragging him there. Youād sat on the couch for another minute, staring blankly after him until the rest of the team came up.
You sat next to him for the debrief. You always sat next to him, no matter how you protested. It didnāt matter how many times you asked not to play babysitter, you were the best at it.
It was a low bar. You just had to not egg him on like Butcher, or try to give him a free, unlicensed therapy session like Hughie. You just sat there, and glowered while he grinned, and everyone said you had Soldier Boy on a leash. Ā
āWhatās wrong with you,ā you hiss during the meeting, and Ben shoots you a sideways glare.
He still doesnāt say anything. When you poke his arm, he recoils, flinching as if heād been shot.
Thatās what makes you freeze.
Ben doesnāt flinch. He doesnāt wince, and he doesnāt whine or bitch or moan. Youāve seen a rocket launcher slam into his chest, and heād roared like an animal before throwing the thing back at the shooter. Youāve poked and slapped him almost every day for the past year. Heās only ever looked down at you with raised brows and a smirk, like you were a misbehaving bunny trying to eat his socks.
But this time, his eyes are black, and his brow is knit. Thereās a tension in his jaw that makes your breath hitch, and his nostrils flare. The table whines under his grip. Youāre rooted to your chair, unable to rip your gaze away. He grunts your name, low and rough, and youāre suddenly all too aware of it. The space between your bodies. Your knees arenāt pressed together under the table. His fingers arenāt grazing your arm every few moments, like they have every single day since Butcher tossed you into his den and told you to keep the old man from blowinā something up.
Thereās a heat radiating from his body that makes your head spin. Itās not the radiation or the bomb. His eyes arenāt empty and thereās no glow coming from his chest.
Ben runs warm. Youāre more aware of it than heās ever going to get to know. Benās always made of the kind of heat that pools between your thighs and makes your heart skip, even when youāre shoving his chest and flipping him off.
But this.
This feels like a fever.
Soldier Boy isnāt supposed to be able to get a fucking fever.
You open your mouth to ask whatās wrong again. Ben looks away, and leans back in his chair. His body is angled away from yours. Your feet bump, and he jerks away with a low, almost feral sound. You swallow, a bile rising from the back of your throat. Heās never passed up a chance to touch you. Ā
Through the entire debrief, there wasnāt one word. He grunted in response to questions. Ā Not an insult or crude joke, not a brag or boast about how much theyād needed him, not even an attempt to get into your pants. Heād sat, stiff and silent, then left the moment Butcher waved for everyone to fuck off.
You watch him go, your hands clasped under the table, worrying at the cuffs of your sleeves. Youāre not worried about him. You donāt get worried about him. Heās an old ass with a pretty face, who spends more time trying to make you spread your legs than listening to plans for missions. But thereās an uneasy feeling in the pit of your stomach, and it feels like a ship, rocking back and forth in a storm.
āButcher?ā You call, still watching the door Ben vanished through.
Butcher turns back to the table with a groan, glaring at you in your chair. āFuckinā- I was about to go get Waffle House, love, so if youāll excuse me-ā
āWhat happened?ā
āWhat-ā Butcher cuts himself off, running a hand down his face. āYou mean on that mission Ijust fuckinā debriefed-ā
āNo, I mean with Soldier Boy-ā
āAh, your sweet lil Ben-ā
āNo- I mean- Heās not-ā You shake your head. āButcher, Iām fucking serious, heās being- He was quiet.ā
Butcher shrugs. āSo? Far as I can see, heās learninā how to be a good boy.ā
āBut heās not,ā you say flatly. āHeās not a good boy, and- You fucking know that.ā
āMaybe. But I donāt go āround lookinā for holes in good things, Love-ā
āOh, fuck off, thatās all you do-ā
āWell, Iām a changed man.ā Butcher gives you a lazy grin. āYou got anything else for me? Gonna whine about grandpa actinā too polite?ā
You narrow your eye, holding Butcherās stare. His tone is indifferent. His posture is bored. āYou know Iām right about this,ā you say, cold and quiet. āDonāt try and- And fucking dance around this. Benās acting weird, and-ā
āBen,ā Butcher coos, and you snap your mouth shut. āAināt that sweet-ā
āButcher, I swear to fucking God-ā
āWhat? Youāre gonna tattle on me to your Ben-ā
You shoot to your feet. āI am worried about the safety of our team, you dipshit-ā
āThen go talk to your sweet Benny Boo, and maybe heāll let you tickle his balls for an answer-ā
The door slams open, and you and Butcher both freeze.
Youāve never found Ben as scary as you maybe should. Heās all muscle and talk and bite, but the teeth donāt seem sharp when theyāve only ever been bared for you. He tells you heās a breathing fucking weapon, so you should watch your mouth. You ask him why you should bother, when heās watching it for you. He laughs in that way that only you ever get to hear, and tosses his arm around you on the couch. Not a danger. A mountain of a man, that you know better than to try and topple with nothing more than moral hands. Ā
A mountain that youāre used to bowing down to your height. That usually looks at everyone else like heās measuring the minimum amount of effort he can use to crush their skull, right before offering you a hand to climb. When you take it, his lips twitch. When you tell him you donāt need help, he stares at you like heās still learning how to look.
You know what the team says about you. What they think about the peace youāve found with Ben, and the way it lingers around him whenever youāre near. But thatās really all it is. An understanding. Something close to friendship that youāre not brave enough to name. You think about him in the dark. He tries to fuck you, and you turn him down because you know.
It would be easier to fall for him that it should be. Whatever things are broken inside of you, heās made of a kind of gold that pours into the cracks and makes them shine. But itās foolās gold. It would crack under pressure, leaving you more hollow than before. Heās not the kind of man that would want to build something. You only want to build something. And so he gets nothing, and you remain empty in a way that still lets your heart beat.
And you never fear Ben.
Not until heās looming in the doorway, glaring between you and Butcher with a white-knuckle grip on the door and a glint in his eyes.
Butcher takes a small step back. You canāt move. Ben makes a low, rumbling sound from his chest, and the air suddenly feels hot and wet. No one dares to move.
āBen,ā you breathe, and his gaze snaps to yours. āWha- Are you okay-ā
He vanishes. You feel the floor rumble, as he stomps away, leaving you and Butcher frozen in the room. You turn slowly, glaring at Butcher. He throws you a winning grin, and slips out the door before you can ask if that seemed normal. Your fingers curl on the table.
Somethingās going on, and youāre going to figure out what the fuck it is.
In the days after the meeting, Ben seems to almost get better. He speaks again. He walks around and jokes and smokes on the couch like everything is normal. Butcher acts like nothing happened, but you catch MM and Hughie giving him cautious looks. Annie and Kimiko are hanging around you more, and Ben seems angrier about it than usual.
āI think we need a new dryer,ā you mutter one morning, sighing when Hughie gives you a curious look. āItās eating my underwear.ā
āEating your- What?ā
āMy underwear. Like- How washers eat socks.ā You frown at your cereal, poking it with your spoon. āItās all going missing, I think itās the dryer-ā
āThe fuck is wrong with the dryer,ā Ben grunts, dropping next to you at the table.
āShe thinks itās eating her underwear,ā Hughie mumbles, watching you nervously. āAre you sure youāre not just like- Dropping it in the hall or something?ā
āYes, I- Iāve even gone back and checked, itās all just- Itās getting eaten, I swear-ā
āWell- Um-ā Hughie glances at Ben. āHas your underwear been eaten?ā
āFuck no,ā Ben grunts, and you sigh.
āHe doesnāt believe in the dryer.ā
Hughie blinks. āWhat- What do you mean, doesnāt believe in it?ā
āToo many fucking buttons,ā Ben grumbles. āNever trust a fucking robot to do what you can do with your goddamn hands. I wash my shit in the sink.ā
āMhm,ā you smile at your coffee. āAnd then I wash it with the machine.ā
Ben glares at you. You smile in return, and his mouth twitches. You expect a smart little comment about whatever gets you touching his boxers. Instead his eyes dart to your cereal, then your mouth.
āWhat-ā
āYouāre not eating.ā
You blink. āI- I was talking to Hughie-ā
āWhy.ā
āBecause- My underwear- And-ā You swallow. The room is getting hot again. Benās glare is almost like a laser, driving into your body. āBen, Iām going to eat-ā
He grunts, and pushes the food closer to your body. He doesnāt look satisfied until youāve cleared the bowl. You glance at Hughie, who seems just as lost as you do.
āUm- The dryer-ā
āIāll look at it,ā Ben stands up, his own coffee and bacon completely ignored. You and Hughie exchange another look.
āBen,ā you say gently. āYou- You canāt even turn it on-ā
āItās just fucking buttons, Iāll figure it out-ā
āBut- Ben-ā
Heās already walking away. You chase after him, and barely manage to stop him from ripping up the whole laundry room. Youāre not sure if this is part of it. Youāre not really sure of anything right now, except odd looks behind your back, and your increasingly declining supply of underwear.
You keep an eye on him, closer than you have to. You donāt want him exploding, or going feral, or getting sick. If he gets sick, youāre the one whoās going to have to deal with it.
If he gets sick, youāre going to have to watch him get pale and small, and the thought makes your gut turn into a tight, strangling fist that reaches your throat. You spend the night curled up, staring at the ceiling. You walk to Benās room and linger outside the door, then shake yourself and go back to your room. Youāre not some foolish, doting nurse. Youāre his friend, and heās a grown man who can take care of himself.
āAre you feeling okay?ā You ask him in the morning, because you canāt help it.
Ben laughs, rich and deep. āFeel like a million fucking dollars, doll.ā
āHm,ā peer at him on the couch. Heās relaxed. The color on his face is back to normal, and his thigh is pressed against yours easily. Ben catches your gaze, and smirks.
āYou got something you wanna say to me?ā
āNo,ā you say quickly, and Ben laughs.
āYou gonna take my fucking temperature? Ask about my sleep and my fucking smoking habits?ā
Your nose twitches. āNo, Iām just- You had a fever yesterday-ā
Ben cuts you off with a grunt. āI donāt get fucking fevers.ā
āYou were sweating, Benjamin-ā
āRoom was hot,ā he grumbles. āDonāt lose your damn head about it.ā
You scowl, moving up to your knees. āIām not- You were acting weird,ā you hiss. āYou werenāt talking, and you- You didnāt touch me once-ā
You cut yourself off, face flooding with heat, and Benās smile becomes wolfish.
āOh,ā he drawls, turning in his seat. āYou missed me touchinā you?ā
āI- Thatās not what I said-ā
āIsnāt it?ā He leans forward, fingers brushing near the top of your thigh. āYou want my touch, sweetheart, all you have to do is say please.ā
You narrow your eyes, tipping your chin up like it can defend you. āFuck you.ā
āDonāt you want to,ā he teases, and your jaw drops.
āI- Youāre fucking- I hate you.ā
He laughs. His fingers trace the hem of your shorts. āNo, you donāt.ā
āYes, I do.ā
āYouāre a shit fuckinā liar-ā
āYouāre a shit fucking liar.ā You spit, hoping he buys the false venom in your voice. āYou were sick, Benjamin.ā
Ben shrugs. āAnd youāre givinā me the sex look.ā
Goddamn him. Every, massive, cocky inch of him, and how you canāt seem to figure out how to stop him from affecting you. āI- I am not- Thereās no- No-ā You look around the room, leaning forward to hiss low enough no one will hear. āThereās no fucking sex look.ā
Ben hums, looking you up and down with that dragging gaze. The one that makes your body hum in excitement, that feels like more pressure than any other manās hands.
āStop doing that,ā you snap, and he laughs.
āYouāre real mouthy this morning, arenāt you.ā
You scowl, sinking back into the cushions. āIām hungry.ā
Ben goes rigid. His hand fists on his knee, and his eyes lock on yours with that gleam again. You blink, leaning slightly back. Benās mouth presses in a thin line, and a low grumble rolls from his chest.
āWha- What-ā
He stands up, and marches away. You donāt move, too confused to remember how. Things hadnāt been back to normal, but theyād been a stilted version of it. Then heās gone again, leaving you with too many fucking questions and an empty couch.
Youāre seconds away from following him, when he stomps back into the room with a scowl.
āBen, whatās- Shit-ā
He tosses an apple straight into your lap. You fumble with it for a second, trying to figure out if a secret code or something, then look up at him with an openly confused expression.
āI- Um-ā
āEat that,ā he grunts.
You blink. āWhat?ā
āYou said youāre fucking hungry, didnāt you?ā He snaps, jerking his head to the apple. āEat.ā
You stare at each other for a long moment. The apple feels heavier than diamond in your hand, but Benās gaze is a burning, impossible pressure. It presses down against your core and makes your thighs ache. His eyes have gone almost wholly black. Heās back to that predatory stillness. You look at the apple, then him, and slowly raise it to your mouth.
Ben watches you take a large bite, and hums in satisfaction. You chew, and his eyes gleam. A little juice dribbles down your chin, and your tongue swipes out to catch it on instinct.
He moves back. You sit up, the apple tight in your fist, and Ben stumbles backwards like youād punched him.
āBen, what the fuck-ā
He marches away again. Youāre alone again, this time with an apple instead of Butcher.
At least the apple is less judgmental, while still offering the exact same amount of answers. You stare at it for twenty minutes, before you move. Ben doesnāt come out of his room for hours, and when he does, he wonāt even look at you.
And that heat. The air-waving, mouth-watering heat is back, rolling off of him like an approaching storm. No one else seems to notice it. Youād think you were going insane, if you didnāt still have that apple, tight in your fist.
āYou didnāt finish it,ā Ben grunts from behind you, and you yelp in surprise.
āJesus fucking- Ben-ā
You whirl around, and cut yourself off. Heās right behind you. His legs are pressed to yours, his arms braced at his side, the weight of him almost locking you against the counter. Your hold on the apple goes slack, and it thuds to the floor. Benās glare deepens. His brow is beaded with sweat again.
āHi,ā you breathe, and he grunts.
āYou were supposed to eat the fucking apple.ā
āI- I had eggs,ā you say, and Benās jaw locks.
He takes a long breath through his nose, leaning further down. This is the kind of thing that should make you want to run. It doesnāt.
āWho the fuck made you eggs,ā Ben growls, and you blink.
āMe? I- I mean- I made me eggs- And- Um-ā You scan over his red face, his black eyes, and God, all that heat is so intoxicating you might be getting dizzy. āBe- Ben?ā
He grunts your name. His arms brace on either side of your body. You might be about to melt.
āCan I please check your temperature?ā You whisper. āIām getting really worried. About-ā You take a deep breath, closing your eyes and forcing the words out. āAbout you.ā
Ben doesnāt answer. You donāt dare to look. Thereās something hard and thick, poking into your upper thigh. You grab Benās forearm for balance, and a low, dangerous sound rumbles from his chest.
Then, suddenly, the weight of him is gone. And when you open youāre eyes, itās almost like he was never there at all.
Hughie coughs from the dining table, and you blink at him. You hadnāt even realized he was there.
āWhat- What the hell was that?ā
You shake your head, staring blankly ahead at the wall. āI- I donāt-ā You cut yourself off, then look back to Hughie. āYou were on the mission.ā
Hughie swallows. āI- Um-ā
āHughie-ā
āWhat mission?ā He says, moving to his feet. āI mean- We go on so many, itās easy to lose track-ā
You block his path out of the kitchen, and he swallows.
āPlease donāt-ā
āSit,ā you point back to his chair, and he obeys.
āI- I really- I think Annieās calling me-ā
āTalk,ā you hiss, and Hughie swallows. āNow.ā
Ben got hit with a chemical. Hughie doesnāt know whatānone of them doābut youāve got a theory.
Itās a fragile thing. The way heās acting, how you could possibly deal with it. You walk into the kitchen in the morning and find that heās made you eggs. The plate gets shoved towards you with a grunt. Ben doesnāt stop staring until youāve eaten every last bite, and then he stomps away without another word. You do your laundry and catch him staring at your clothing with twitching hands. You shower that night and open the door to find him standing in the hall, his whole body tense and his mouth hanging open.
āBen,ā you say gently, and he takes another one of those stumbling steps back.
You sigh, as he vanishes down the hallway. He hasnāt had a normal conversation with you in three days. The last time you bothered to try, heād pinned you down on the couch and stared until you whispered his name, and he ran again.
He spends most days locked in his room. He comes out to make sure youāve eaten or follow you to the grocery store, pressing behind you in the milk aisle and glaring at anyone who comes too close.
āDo you want anything?ā You ask him softly before you go to checkout, and he just stares at you. Some days heās not even talking anymore. Last night Annie tried to walk past you both on the couch, and he snarled like a dog.
He leans down until his nose is pressed to your hairline. His lips drag over your brow, and you stare up at him, trying not to let your heart burst out of your chest. He inhales deeply, and a low rumble rolls through his chest. His hand finds your waist, massaging and kneading at the skin.
Your gaze drops down, and there it is again. The outline of his cock, tenting in his jeans. You bite the inside of your mouth. Your knees wobble, and your hand flies to Benās shoulder. Heās burning up, skin searing even through his shirt.
He yanks back again, eyes black and chest heaving. You sigh, and turn back to the grocery cart. Youāre too used to it now. It makes you worry more.
You try to get a straight answer out of Butcher that night. Itās somehow more useless than last time.
āI know Hughie blabbed, aināt no reason in tryinā to talk to me-ā
āYou know whatās wrong with him,ā you hiss, and Butcher shrugs.
āMaybe. Gonna make any fuckinā difference to what youāre doinā?ā
āYes, thatās why Iām fucking asking-ā
āOh, like you aināt figured it out yourself.ā
You glare at him. He smirks back, challenge lining every inch of his expression.
āYou gonna go put your money where your mouth is, doll?ā Butcher mocks. āOr just keep whininā around about it?ā
And you donāt have an answer. Because heās right. You figured it out when Ben snarled at MM for offering you a cup of coffee, a boner pressing through his sweats that everyone pretended to ignore. It would take a true idiot, to not be able to figure it out.
āWhen did you know,ā you mumble, leaning back against the counter. Butcher shrugs, watching you carefully.
āMoment it hit the fucker.ā
āWhere you there-ā
āI was the only cunt in the room.ā Butcher shudders. āHe started moaninā and gettinā hard, it was the most disgustinā thing Iād ever seen.ā
You sigh, giving him an unimpressed look, and Butcher smirks.
āHe was cryinā for you, love. Almost had to put him back under to stop him just sprintinā back to the house to take you. Like a fuckinā dog.ā
You blink. Your heart does a little flip that you refuse to acknowledge. āHe hasnāt touched me-ā
āDonāt know why,ā Butcher mutters. āI thought I was gonna follow him inside and find him- Well, you know.ā He winks, and you narrow your eyes.
āBut he hasnāt. Which-ā You swallow, looking up to the ceiling and biting your tongue.
Itās fine. Itās fine if itās not you he wants to do this with. Probably for the better. It helps you cling to that last shred of dignity. The sliver of an illusion, that you donāt think about him more than you think about yourself,.
āDo we think this- Can it hurt him?ā Your voice is smaller than you want it to be. Butcher just shrugs.
āAināt gonna kill him. Probably hurts.ā His lip curls. āPermanent fuckinā blue balls. Hell donāt go deep enough.ā
You sigh. āWell, what if we hire him like- a hooker-ā
āTried that,ā Butcher dismisses. āAlmost got punched through a damn wall.ā
Your mouth opens, then closes. āWhat? Thatās- Ben wouldnāt turn down a hooker-ā
āHe did,ā Butcher gives you a pointed look. āAnd it aināt a hooker heās makinā eggs for, genius.ā
You blink at him. āNo, thatās- That isnāt part of it-ā
āYou willinā to bet his life on that?ā
And you arenāt. Youāre not willing to bet anything. Because it hasnāt just been boners and staring. Benās been feeding you, following you like all illusion of not being your personal guard doesnāt matter anymore, refusing to let you do anything that might get you hurt.
āBut- If itās just a sex chemical,ā you say slowly, and he cuts you off with a raised hand.
āI aināt holdinā your hand through this,ā he says. āYou talk to him yourself, and-ā He looks you up and down, a smirk pulling at his lips. āBring protection. We donāt need soldier tots runninā around the house now, do we.ā
āButcher-ā
āNot just a sex chemical,ā he shrugs. āAnd you know it.ā
You do. You wish you didnāt but you do.
A sex chemical would be easier. You could climb into bed with Ben, get railed into oblivion, then collect your heart off the floor and move on. But this is more. This is possessive and targeted and that means something. Something you donāt want to know. Something you have to know.
Butcher leaves you in the kitchen to collect yourself. You close your eyes, and try to control your breath, but itās useless against your pounding heart. He turned down hookers. He moaned your name.
If this means nothing, youāre going to fucking kill him.
If it means something, youāre ready to deal with it. You donāt think you really have any other choice.
āBen?ā You knock on the door once, forcing your voice to steady. āBen, can you please- We need to talk.ā
He doesnāt answer. You werenāt expecting him to. The knock was more of a polite courtesy, then a question. You steel yourself, holding the doorknob with shaking fingers, and push into his room.
You barely make it a step inside, before all the will is knocked out of your body. Itās as if you walked into a wet dream. One of the private, dirtiest ones that make you wake up with the sheets bunched between your legs, that make reality feel like a slap to the face.
The room reeks of sex. Salty and heady, sweat and something rich that just smells like Ben. The sheets have been ripped and tangled on the floor, the pillows tossed off the unimportant corners of the room with piles of boxer and shirt and panties.
Your panties.
Ben sits, silent and dark-eyed on the bed, completely naked. One hand is fisting on of your panties, the other is wrapped tight around his thick, red cock. Itās veiny and so big it makes you sore just to look at. It throbs in his grip, and your cunt pulses in return. White pre-cum leaking from under his thumb, and his balls sit heavy between his thighs.
Your tongue darts out over your lips, and you force your gaze to drag up. Benās staring at you with a vein in his brow and that same burning intensity. The heat lingers in the air, humid and electric. Sweat falls from his neck, over his broad, flushed chest. His thighs are locked, his lips parted and eyes narrowed.Ā
You glance back to the panties in his hand and swallow. You suppose, at the very least, you were right.
āI lost those,ā you breathe, and Ben grunts.
āIāll give āem back later.ā
You blink, then glance at the pile in the corner of the room. Ben doesnāt look away from you for a second, and a low chuckle rumbles from his chest. It sends a thrill up your spine, and you have to lean back against the door to stay upright.
āYou here just to collect your panties, doll?ā
You shake your head, looking back to him hopelessly. Youād had a whole speech, about how he needed you to fix this, how you knew it must hurt, how if he asks nicely, youāll let him take what he wants. Itās misting into thin air, with every thin, fraying thread that had been holding your dignity. Ben doesnāt make it easy. His gaze rakes over your body, a strange, blurred line between worship and hunger etched over his handsome features.
You donāt know how youāre supposed to pretend like this. With all of him at your fingertips, only a few steps away. Youād prepared yourself to be a toy, but youāre a lamb to slaughter. An offering to a god who wonāt take anything else, who holds your sanity like a delicate bird in his rough hands. He could destroy you, and youāre going to thank him. He could recreate you, and youād never know a better blessing.
Ben leans back, something iron lining his words. āYou should go.ā
You shake your head, and his jaw ticks.
āGo.ā
Thereās a low, deep command in the word. You almost obey.
āThose are mine,ā you breathe, nodding to the panties, and Ben sighs.
āFuckinā Christ- Go-ā
āWhy are they mine?ā
The question is soft. You know he hears it, because he goes quiet again. You stare at each other for another long moment, and you take the smallest step forward. A low groan pulls from Benās throat. Your knees almost buckle.
āDonāt,ā he gives you a look like itās a command, but thereās something thinner under the word. Something soft.
āI- I know about the chemical,ā you whisper, and Benās throat bobs. āYou couldāve asked-ā
āAsk what? For you to suck my cock? Like some limp-dick pussy who canāt handle his booze?ā
Your lips twitch. āYour dick isnāt limp.ā
Ben gapes at you. His cock jumps in his hand, and you take another step.
āYouāre- Fucking unbelievable,ā he grunts, and you laugh. āThis shit aināt funny, doll-ā
āItās a little funny,ā you murmur, stopping right above him.
No part of you is touching. Every inch feels gravitational. He has to be the one to crash first.
āYou turned down hookers for me,ā you whisper, and Ben scowls.
āIt doesnāt want hookers.ā
You glance at his cock, then his tight face. āWhat does it want?ā
He glares. You donāt back down. You never have before, and youāre not about to start now.
āDonāt be a fuckinā tease-ā
āDonāt be a dick,ā you lean down. Benās legs part to make room for you. Itās an effort, not to just touch him. āWhat does it want, Ben.ā
What do you want.
He hears the invisible question. His jaw works, and his eyes drop to your lips.
āIāll fuckinā break you,ā he rasps, and you smile.
āNo,ā you say. āYou like me too much.ā
Benās gaze rips back up. You raise your brows, daring him to do it. To say it. To put you both out of your misery.
A low growl rips through his chest. āGo. Now.ā
You donāt move, and watch as the last line of Benās control snaps.
He grabs you by the waist and drags you fully into his lap. You gasp as his lips smash against yours, the kiss rough and demanding. Thereās so part of you that isnāt consumed by it, that doesnāt mold into his touch. Your legs spread so you can straddle his lap, and Ben grabs your ass with a grunt, forcing you up so his cock is pressed against your clothed cunt. You moan against his lips, and he presses his tongue into your mouth.
āBe- Ben-ā Your nails scrape at his shoulders, and he squeezes your ass with a grunt. āFuck- Ben-ā
āAlready whining,ā he mutters, dragging his free hand up to rest on the back of your neck. āBarely fuckinā touched you are youāre already sayinā my name like I fucked you.ā
Your face burns, and Ben weaves his hand through your hair, gathering it in on fist and pushing it down to deepen the kiss. You almost donāt know what to do with yourself. His touch is hot and possessive, sending shivers through your whole body. His cock rubs against your underwear with every shift, and the pressure makes your legs spread wider. You start to grind down to chase the friction, and Ben moans, deep and low.
āThatās it,ā he grunts, massaging your ass with shockingly gentle hands. āThatās a good girl. Show me what youāve got, doll, prove that youāre gonna take this cock for me.ā
You try to drag him closer, but heās immovable. When you push, his hand moves from your ass to your lower back, pushing down so you can feel every inch of his dick, rubbing between your thighs. You make a strangled noise, and Ben chuckles. Itās an even rougher sound than before. His mouth has started to wander over your cheeks and jaw, pressing open, sloppy, kisses everywhere he can reach.
Itās almost like youāre being seduced into the same, sex-focused daze thatās taken a hold of him. The kisses light undying fires over your skin, spreading and spreading until you think youāll die if he moves away. Benās started to lose focus himself, pawing at your ass like an animal and growling against your skin.
āBennn,ā you moan as his fingers graze on your inner thigh, turning your face to bury in his neck. āMmmm- Ben- M- More-ā
He growls again, and his hips slam up. It knocks the air from your lungs, and heās not even inside you. Your arms wrap around his neck, trying to hold on as he starts to rut against your core, broken, desperate sounds falling from his lips.
You manage to lean back to look at him, and heās thoroughly wrecked. He grabs your jaw, still rutting, and you try to smile. His nostrils flare and he kisses you again, the fervor only seeming to build as he chases his own orgasm. You hum against his lips, trying to make yourself pliant and soft, easy for him to use.
āSmell good,ā he rasps against your skin, beard tickling against your neck. āAlways smell so- So fuckinā good-ā
He cuts himself off with another groan, his cock twitching between your thighs. He shoves you further down, rocking his hips back and forth as he keeps trying to get there against your body.
āGonna wreck you,ā he mutters, mouthing at a pulse point. āFuck you ātill you canāt walk, fuck you stupid, fuck you mine.ā
You moan happily, dragging your hands down his bare, thick back. The muscles ripple under your touch, and Ben moans like that touch is almost enough to set him off. You kiss over his cheekbone and beard, along his jaw, and slowly guide his mouth back to yours. He lets you lead this kiss, mindlessly focused on trying to fuck himself against your body. Heās panting so hard youād be worried about anyone else.Ā
He groans against your lips, clawing at your clothing with blunt nails. āOff- Get- Fuck- Get this shit off-ā
He whines like a dog when you push on his chest, and you expect him not to let you up, but his grip loosens. You smile down at him, moving back to your feet, and he stares at you with a slack jaw.
āGet back here,ā he growls, one hand still splayed on the back of your thigh. āNow.ā
āIām helping you,ā you tease, slowly pulling down your shorts. āSay please.ā
Benās eyes flash, and his jaw locks. You know he wonāt beg. You donāt really want him to. Thisāthe undivided, adoring attention, the way heās staring at you like youāre the only thing he could ever possibly want in the world, when heās spent a century of life indulging in sweet things and easier desiresāis more than enough.
You sink to your knees, and he lets you. That hand on your thigh drags up to fist back in your hair, and he goes back to that predatory stillness as you rub his thighs with light hands.
āI aināt begginā,ā he grunts, and you hum, letting your fingers brush against the base of his cock.
Benās hips jerk up, a moan ripping from his chest. You giggle, guiding his hand away, and he glares at you under hooded eyes.
āSomething fuckinā funny?ā
āMmm,ā you shrug, wrapping your hand around his cock, and god, heās even bigger than he looks. āIām just⦠Learning.ā
āLearning,ā Ben echoes, the awe pushed through gritted teeth. āJesus fuckinā- Christ-ā
You lick a long, slow stripe up the length of Benās cock, and he tosses his head back like heās praying.
āHoly- Fuckinā hell-ā He tugs at your hair without actually trying to move it, biceps bulging as he tries not to overtake your mouth. āYouāre- warm-ā
You giggle again, pumping your fist as you kiss the tip. Ben makes a low, sinful sound, his free hand fisting at the sheets. Youāve never seen him in such control of himself. A living god that could skullfuck you until you sobbed, trying to let you lead your way. You think itās something in the way heās holding you like youāre made of lace instead of silicone. It makes an unbearable ache return to your core.
You take Ben in your mouth until he bumps against the back of your throat, and he groans your name so loud it must echo through the city. You work what you canāt fit in your mouth, sucking on his cock like itās candy.
āFuckinā- You can suck some fuckinā cock, doll-ā He chokes out, hips bucking when you squeeze him near the base. āBest mouth Iāve ever felt- Son of a-ā
His words turn to moans, and you look up at him under your lashes. Heās leaning back with a glazed eyes and veins pushing at his neck. His shoulders are tense, his abdomen flexing, and you canāt control your own hips as they start to chase relief against the air. Ben catches the movement, watching it as if heās under a spell. His cock is heavy and pulsing in his mouth, and it just makes your cunt ache more, imagining the weight of him buried inside of you.
āJesus, youāre a needy thing,ā he mutters, his thumb dragging over the soft skin behind your ear. āYou fuckinā like this? Like choking on some proper dick?ā
You whine, eyes rolling back as he presses back against your throat. You press your shoulder forward, forcing your tits further up for him to see. Ben jaw clenches, and you feel him try to not move. His pre-cum is getting thicker, and who knows how long heād been going before you.
āBen,ā you pull off for a split second, dropping your hand to massage his balls as you kiss over the head of his dick. āPlease.ā
You drop back down, and he understands in a second. He uses you like a toy, pulling your head up before slamming it back down. You make your jaw slack, moaning around him with every single thrust. Your eyes roll back in your head, and the need builds and builds between your thighs.
You drag youāre hips forward shamelessly, grabbing Benās leg and angling your clit to rub against whatever it can reach. Ben groans at the sight, and the sound just floods between your legs.
āShit, I can feel how fuckinā wet you are,ā he growls, and you whimper, watching him under glossy lashes. āShit- Lookinā at me like that, gonna make me-ā
You moan eagerly, and Benās control snaps again.
Itās fun to see the edges of it. How the pit of his restraint is far deeper than you wouldāve imagined a week ago. He tries to drag you off his cock as he cums, but you push yourself back down. It comes in thick, sticky ropes, shooting down your throat until youāre gagging and almost unable to breathe. You try to swallow, but thereās so much it falls out of your mouth like drool, dripping down your cheeks and onto your breasts.
āJesus, thought you were gonna drown in it,ā Ben pulls your dazed head off, grinning down at you. āLook at you, baby. Little fuckinā trooper.ā
You blink at him, still trying to lick the remains off your lips. You glance down to his cock, and itās still hard. How the fuck is it still hard.
āHasnāt been goinā down since that shit hit me,ā Ben mutters, dragging his thumb over your lower lip. āNeeds itās pussy.ā
āItās pussy?ā You breathe out, and Ben sighs.
āYour pussy,ā he mutters. āNeeds you, smartass.ā
āIt needs me?ā
You give him your best innocent look. He glares at you, and you just tilt your head, smiling like youāre made of honey. You sort of feel like you are. Youāve never been this gooey, just from sucking a guy off. Youāve never even liked sucking someone off.
But this is Ben. Rough everywhere, but made of tiny divets that go soft when pressed. The kind of man you can crawl into and never have a harsh hand find your body again.
He swallows, his thumb lingering on your lips. You kiss the pad of it, then the knuckle, before slowly wrapping your lips around him and sucking. Benās cock twitches, somehow getting harder. You donāt think youāre ever going to walk again.
Worth it.
āI need you,ā he rasps, pulling his thumb away. āFeet. Now.ā
He taps your nose, and you scramble up. Youāll fight him tooth and dirt when heās fighting back. When heās not, you canāt think of a single reason to deny him a thing.
Ben grabs the back of your thigh again, watching you with an expectant glint in his eyes. You swallow and pull your shorts down, trying not to fall over when he stares at your core like youāre showing him a treasure. His fingers dig into soft skin, and his free hand wraps around his cock, pumping slowly as you continue to strip in front of him.
You peel off your shirt, and Benās tongue darts over his lips. His grip on your thigh tightens, and he slowly coaxes you forward. You rest your hands on his shoulders, shoving down the bubbling, electric nerves in your chest.
āBen,ā you whisper, and he hums, dragging a massive, rough hand up your side. āE- Easy-ā
āOh, doll,ā he coos, pressing a soft kiss to the side of your breast. āThis is easy.ā
Your legs wobble, your confidence quickly waning. The doubts start to pool like rainwater in a gutter, as Ben takes in your naked body. Maybe you werenāt the dream doll he had in his head. Maybe you pushed it too far with the teasing. Maybe he doesnāt really want you in the same, volcanic kind of way you want him.
He drags two fingers along your inner thigh, teasing the sensitive skin as he mouths at your breast. You close your eyes, trying to just breathe, and Ben chuckles.
āAnd you wanted me to say please,ā he drawls. āLook at you, all fuckinā sweet for me. You gonna beg for me again, baby? Or that mouth only good for sucking my cock?ā
You whimper, a gush of heat flooding between your thighs.
āYeah, you like me talking,ā Ben mutters, kissing over your sensitive nipple. āLike knowing youāve got the only fuckinā pussy in the world that makes me act like an idiot. Pretty girl, pretty fuckinā tits,ā heĀ sucks a dark spot on your breast, his thumb slowly dragging between the lips of your cunt. āPretty fuckinā pussy, wet like a whore in the summer for me.ā
Ben thumbs at your slit, wrapping his lips around your nipple and sucking hard. His thumb drags up in the exact same moment, finding your clit and rubbing tight, unrelenting circles. You vision blurs and you stumble forwards, wrapping your arms tight around his head.
āBe- Fuck- Bennnn-ā
He hums around your nipple, grazing his teeth over the perked bud. His mouth is warm and wet, his tongue flicking back and forth until youāre in a sex-addled frenzy. You press your face into his hair, gasping his name as he drags his thumb back and forth across your clit.
He wraps a massive arm around your body, fingers splaying over your back and cradling you close to his body.
āFeel that fuckinā mess,ā he drawls, kissing over your breasts. āNo one else gets you this wet, do they?ā
You shake your head, and Ben leans back withĀ narrowed eyes. He slaps your pussy with a harsh little tap, and a broken cry escapes your lips.
āDo they,ā he growls, and you shake your head.
āNo- No-ā You try to lean down, desperate to just kiss him, to get as close as heāll allow. āJust you, Ben, just you-ā
He smirks, slaps your cunt again, and goes back to making out with your nipples. You moan, slumping over his body as the tension becomes almost painful. You donāt know what heās getting out of this until you feel his hips rocking beneath you. His cock rubs against his stomach and your thigh, already smeared with pre-cum again. You gasp and Ben moans around your nipple, the sensation vibrating through your whole body.Ā
āOh- Oh my god-ā You squirm, the pressure getting unbearable. āI- Iām- Oh my god-ā
Youāre babbling, but youāre not sure what else there is to do. You cunt his clenching around nothing, the thick scent of Ben clouding your head as he works you like a toy. Ben nips at your nipple and pushes his thumb down hard. Your knees buckle, almost making you fall back to your knees on the carpet.
Benās arm around your back tightens, and he rolls you both over, tossing you back onto the mattress without even a grunt. You almost cry out at the sudden cold, the lack of Ben all around you. It only lasts a second before he grabs your ankle and drags you forward.
Youāre lain on the bed, staring at Ben with an open expression. His jaw clenches and he rubs your thighs, slowly pushing your knees up to your chest. Your cunt is on full, open display to him, and your breath catches as he drags his thumb between the swollen lips of your pussy.
āLook at that,ā he almost purrs. āMine.ā
You whimper when he flicks your clit again, but it quickly falls into a moan as he leans down and presses an open mouth kiss to your pussy. Your eyes roll back in your head, your hips arching to meet his chapped, full lips. Ben groans against your cunt, his grip on your legs tightening.
Youāve had men eat you out before. Youāve had them be good at it, and horrible.
Ben does it like itās a job, and heās never hated work a day in his life. You were already on such a thin wire that the first press of his tongue against your clit makes you snap, a cry falling from your lips and your hands flying wildly to catch a hold of something. Ben grabs them and pins them against your stomach, forcing you down into the mattress as his mouth keeps working against your cunt.
Heās open with it, moaning and sucking and pushing his tongue into your fluttering cunt as he rocks his face back and forth, dragging your orgasm out until youāre almost floating. The heat hasnāt stopped building. Every time you think youāre going to come down, Ben kisses your clit, and darts his tongue back and forth like heās trying to get a high score of most orgasms in an hour.
Maybe two hours. You can hear the bed creaking in a steady rhythm, as Benās fucks down into the mattress, but then he drags another orgasm out of you, and the only thing in the world is Benās mouth against your cunt. The sounds he makes, the way heās watching you under hooded, smug eyes, the way his massive back forces your legs further apart whenever you try to close them and exposes you to him further.
You writhe when your third orgasm hits, shoving at his head with weak hands.
Ben draws back, pinning your legs down to the bed and fixing you with a stern glare.
āStay still,ā he grunts, and you swallow.
āToo- Too much-ā
āYou want cock?ā He snaps, and you nod frantically. āOnly good girls get cock, baby. You beinā a good girl when you whine?ā
Your lip wobbles. Your face burns. Ben raises his brows, daring you to be a brat, and any other day you would. Youād stick your tongue out and mock him, youād test his buttons, youād see just what you could say, to get bent over his lap or tossed around the bed.
But there are tears streaming down your cheeks, and youāve never been so totally aware of how empty you are. You really think the chemicals might be contagious. You really donāt fucking care.
āNo,ā you whisper, shame burning at your cheek and between your thighs. āIām not.ā
Ben hums, spits on your clit, and starts to rub it with a fast thumb. āYou gonna be a good girl?ā
You nod, and Ben smirks.
āYeah. I know.ā
He dives back down, and stars burst behind your eyes as another orgasm overtakes your body. Youāre trembling and gasping for air, pulling at his hair and only earning another moan that makes your back arch. Ben laps at you through the orgasm, hips still slamming against the bed.
Then, one second, his beard his grazing over your inner thigh and his lips are pressed against the over sensitive, pulsing bundle of nerves. The next youāre face down with a thick arm around your stomach, dragging you back against Benās chest like a ragdoll.Ā
āNeed to get in that pussy,ā he growls, dragging his cock between the lips of your cunt. āGive you this cock real good, show you who the fuck you belong to, right now.ā
Ben bites and sucks on your neck, the head of his dick bumping against your clit, but he still doesnāt push inside. Your nails dig into your forearm, the wet sound of him sliding against you filling the room, and you almost donāt know what the fuck heās waiting for.
āPlease,ā you breathe out, dropping your head against his shoulder and giving him your best, sweetest eyes. āPlease, Ben- Fuck me.ā
Another one of those feral sounds rips from Benās chest, and his hand drags down to press two thick fingers against your clit as he slowly pushes himself inside. The breath is knocked from your lungs at the first inch, a broken sound escaping your lips.
Benās free arm wraps around your neck, the bulging bicep forcing your head back further so he can kiss over your open, drooling mouth.
āThatās it,ā he coos, rubbing your clit back and forth as he presses deep into your cunt. āThatās a good little slut, takinā just what I give you, come on-ā
You whimper, and Ben deepens the kiss, pressing his tongue down your throat as he pushes another inch. You clench down around him and he groans, kissing you brutally as he bullies the last few inches inside of you.
Heās so big it makes sparks dance on the edge of your vision. Youāve never been this full, every single nerve in your body all too aware of the delicious split of Benās cock. Between the head lock and his mouth against yours, the tears canāt stop streaming down your face. Ben growls your name, kissing a stray one near your lips, his tone a warning you can barely hear.
You canāt. Youāre overstimulated and so needy you canāt think, canāt move, canāt do anything but feel the smeared arousal between your thighs, the drag of Benās cock against your g-spot, the muscle and heat of his body wrapped all around you.
You clench down again, and the very last bit of Benās resolve snaps.
He cums inside of you suddenly, moaning down your throat as he ruts up in short, rough thrusts. The cum spills into your until youāre warm and stuffed, then runs down your ass and over your thighs. Itās so wet you think heād slip right out of you, if it wasnāt for the headlock. Youāre so full you donāt even remember how to breathe, until Ben squeezes just under your breast and groans your name.
āDonāt go out on me, doll, cāmon-ā He groans and kisses you again, his hand dropping back down to spread against your tummy. āFuck- You feel so fuckinā good- Better than coke, baby, Christ-ā
You make another broken sound, your voice hoarse and small from the arm around your throat.
Then Ben starts to fuck you, and you think you might ascend.
He rolls his hips in long, deep thrusts, dragging in and out of your cunt like a machine. The sound of your cum mixingāsliding between your bodies with every single shiftāis obscene. Youāre being used like the most tended to, adored fuckdoll in the world. Ben cradles you like he thinks youāll break, and fucking you like heās trying to take you apart.
You feel him everywhere, with every single slam of his cock against your g-spot. Your vision swims, the tears falling freely, and Ben kisses every single one away with another, brutal thrust.
āFuckinā crying for me, babydoll?ā He nips at your lower lip, and you whine a sound like his name. āPretty girl canāt fuckinā take it after begging? So sensitive you need to fuckinā whine?ā
You turn your cheek, giving him your best, pleading doe eyes. You canāt tell if his gaze sharpens or focuses. His thrusts become deeper, and his thumb finds your swollen, pulsing clit again. You sob, and he kisses the sound away with a hum.
āBeinā such a good fuckinā slut,ā he mutters, pinching your clit and rolling it between his fingers. āTakinā this cock like a pro, baby, like you were fucking made for me.
You babble his name again, and Ben smirks. This kiss is slower. Almost loving, and in a stark contrast with how heās drilling into your gaping cunt.
The orgasm washes over you like a wave, and Ben moans your name as you squeeze down around him. Your vision goes white and you thrash, your body being wracked with so much pleasure you can only scream. Benās cock slams home against your g-spot, and rush of something wet and hot flood out of your pussy, and you think you might pass out.
At the least, youāre floating out of your body. Ben cums with rough, spat out praise, then slowly lowers you back down to the mattress. Weight shifts around. He rubs your back as you gasp for air, then slowly rolls you over and pushes your legs back open.
āLook at you,ā he murmurs, the words far away, but his voice softer than youāve ever heard it. āDidnāt know you could get this fuckinā dumb and quiet. Shouldāve been fucking you every day.ā
He laughs to himself, and your hand flies up, unsure what itās looking for.
Ben catches it, twines your fingers together, kisses your knuckles, and presses it back into the mattress.
āNeed more, doll,ā he rasps, and you whimper. āIāll go easy. Not tryinā to break my-ā
He cuts himself off. You donāt have the words to push him. You donāt have the energy to do anything. Ben kisses your stomach, then lower, then lower. You gasp softly, when you feel his tongue lapping at your pussy. Itās gentler than before. Slower, almost careful. He works you open, mixing your releases together and tasting it almost for the sake of tasting it.
Your eyes cross, as the soft, tickling sensations. Theyāre strangely relaxing, even if they make your pussy flutter hopelessly.
āEasy,ā Ben murmurs, kissing over your clit. āNice and fuckinā easy.ā
It is. You go limp again, letting yourself get lost in the feeling of his tongue. Heās not trying to make you cum, or get you ready. God knows you could probably take a fist in there right now, with how heās left you soaked and open. You can hear his fist working against his cock again, and find the energy to look up again.
Heās almost art, above you. Hair mussed and tangles, dominating your vision, whole face wet and eyes blown out. You squeeze his hand in yours and smile. He blinks, and his jaw sets as he understands.Ā
This time, he doesnāt ask if youāre sure. He must understand by now, that you might be more depraved than even he can dream up. Youād sit on his cock for the rest of your life, if he let you. And there are worse ways to be worshipped, than with everything a manāa broken, titan of a man whoās made of more than he can understandāhas to give.
You let yourself lose track of it all. Ben moves you into positions you didnāt know you could make, hauling you back into his lap, flipping you over and dragging your ass in the air, sitting you on top of him and guiding your hips back and forth until youāre mewling his name and shaking around his cock. The whole room might have to be burned, when this is over. There isnāt an inch of your body he hasnāt cum on, kissed, spanked, or grabbed.
He ends up on top of you again, holding your knees back against your chest with a single arm, fucking you slow enough to drag long, loud moans from your lips every time.
āThatās my girl,ā he mutters, watching his thick, swollen cock slide in and out of your cunt, smearing and spreading hours of cum between your thighs. āMy pretty fuckinā doll.ā
You moan, reaching up with shaking hands to cup the back of his neck. His gaze drags back to yours, and you smile. You donāt know where the delicate, flowering thing inside of you is coming from. You think itās always been there, and Benās stripped you so bare thereās nowhere to hide it, no way to make it wither. With his hands so gentle on your hips and thighs, his gaze so clouded with adoration you think thatāto anyone elseāhe wouldnāt look like the same man, thereās nothing left to do but let this bloom.
āI love you,ā you breathe out, the first words youāve said in hours. āI love you, Ben.ā
His eyes go impossibly darker. His fingers dig into you, and he crashes forward with a groan.
Ben cums one last time, and you pass out at his kisses all over your face, murmuring words you feel more than hear.
He doesnāt say it back. You didnāt think he would. Ben coddles you like a child after, wrapping you in a shirt that somehow survived the damage and carrying out back to your room. You get a warm bath and glass of water. Your stomach rumbles, and suddenly thereās food in your hand. Ben rises you both off in the shower, his breathing heavy and his face pressed into the crook of your neck.
You can feel it with every single touch. That heās trying to find a way to tell you. That itās carving through his chest that he doesnāt know how.
And youāll wait. Telling him he doesnāt have to will do nothing but make him more frustrated, and youāre happy to have whatever he can offer after⦠this.
He figures it out faster than you thought, though. He lays in bed with you, glaring at the ceiling and rubbing your side. You watch him, your head propped on his chest, and smile. You lean up and press a kiss to his jaw, and he grunts in surprise, his gaze dropping to yours.
You smile again. His throat bobs. He opens his mouth. Closes it. Looks back to the ceiling and lets out a slow, deep breath.
āMarry me.ā
You blink at him. If you had an ounce of strength left in your body, youād sit up. āWhat?ā
āYou heard me,ā he grunts, glancing back down at you. āYou mean what you said?ā
āOf- Of course I meant it-ā
āYou sure?ā
āFuck you,ā you shove his chest, and his mouth twitches. āI wouldnāt have said it if I wasnāt sure, asshole. But-ā You point a stern finger. āIām not marrying you.ā
That makes him really, deeply frown. āWhy not.ā
āBecause Iām not crazy.ā
āThat aināt crazy, doll, you love something, you fucking marry it-ā
āMarry it?ā You snort. āWhat, are you gonna marry the fucking TV?ā
āNo, you brat, Iām marrying you.ā
Your mouth falls open. Ben glowers at you, his fingers digging on your hips again, like heās worried youāre going to run. āMe?ā You whisper, and Ben grunts.
āDonāt see me fuckinā proposing to anyone else, do you.ā
You laugh weakly. āBut this is- Ben, this is a bad proposal-ā
āIt is not bad-ā
āItās horrible-ā
āYouāre going to say yes,ā he snaps, and you sigh, tracing over the line of his pecs.
Thereās something raw under that demand. Something you donāt want to mock or poke at. That you want to nurture, to get him to show without barbing it in a defensive wire.
But youāre also not marrying him after one sex marathon.
āI want dinner,ā you say, and he frowns.
āIāll get you a fucking ring-ā
āNo.ā You lean down until your noses bump. āDinner.ā
Ben glares at you. You glare back, rubbing his chest, and he slowly relaxes under your touch.
āDinner,ā he mutters, and you beam, pressing a quick kiss to his lips.
He grabs the back of your neck, holding you above him. āYouād say yes, though,ā he rasps, and god help you, you would.
You just kiss him instead. Long and slow and deep, telling him in a language you know he prefers to speak. And you can feel it, under every single touch. How much he really, truly means it.
Five dinners, you tell yourself, but if Ben keeps holding you like this, you know. Youāll only last until he asks you again, and thenājust like beforeāyouāll all too happily give in.

about: max hates the way billy treats girls, steve is nothing like billyĀ
c.w: mentions of sex but nothing explicit, billy being awful to women but again nothing explicit, soft fluff because steve is a girl dad, some canon divergence with how the fight with billy went in the s2 finale, angsty with a tooth-rottingly fluffy ending, no pronouns for reader but mentions of reader wearing makeup
a/n: max is my daughter i love her so much, i wish they elaborated more on her and steveās relationship in the show because i just know she wishes he was her older brother instead of billy, divider by @cursed-carmine
Billy is weird with girls. Sometimes they call the house asking for him and Max hears Billy say crude words on the phone, words that would have her mouth washed out with soap if her mom heard her say any of them. More often than not thereās a girl in his passenger seat when Billy drives her home, very obviously displeased by Maxās very existence.
And sometimes her mom and his dadā not her dad because heās back in Californiaā go out late and Billy will bring a girl over, never the same one. He never tells her to get out or leave because he doesnāt care, but Max quickly realizes she should with the disgusting noises they make. She usually goes outside, skating up and down their street until the girl leaves.
He never drives them home and they leave the house with makeup ruined and walking funny. He never lets them stay the night either. Some of them look upset when they leave, others donāt really care.
Thereās been a few girls who walk outside and cry on the curb in the dim streetlight. Itās never loud sobbing, just quiet sniffles as they hug themselves. Max never talks to them, she has no idea what she could ever say to them.
Today itās one of those nights again. His dad booked a fancy dinner in some restaurant across county lines so he won't bring her mom home until the early hours of the morning. This also means whatever girl Billy brings over is going to be there for a long time.
Under usual circumstances this would be fine, Max would just skate downtown to kill time, except itās the middle of June and a storm is rolling in.
She thinks itās ridiculous, why is there rain in the middle of summer? It was never like this in California, they had some bouts of rain in December and April but never the summer. Even when it did rain it never lasted long or was bad enough that her mother invested in proper rain attire.
Which is how she finds herself walking down the street, her jeans and converse completely soaked. The crappy poncho her mom bought at Melvaldās was in the clearance section for a reason because her hair is soaked through and she can feel water soaking her shirt.
She wants to go home. Not that dump on Cherry Lane but San Diego.
She feels hot tears welling up in her eyes when her shadow starts to elongate in the puddles and she hears the rev of a car engine behind her. Great, some asshole is gonna splash water all over her. Instead the car slows to a gentle stop next to her and when she turns her head she sees a familiar red BMW, Steveās already rolling down the window to talk to her.
āWhat are you doing?ā he frowns, and she can see you in the passenger seat craning your head to look at her. āItās pouring out here.ā
Maxās mouth goes dry, what is she doing out here?
āWalk,ā she finally says, hoping the lump in her throat isnāt obvious.
āCāmon get in,ā Steve replies without missing a beat, nudging his head toward the passenger side. āYouāre gonna get yourself sick.ā
āIām fine,ā Max insists, because she really is about to start crying and she doesnāt want to be in his car when that happens.
āMax get in,ā your voice cuts in, frowning at her and exchanging a glance with Steve, like you two can communicate without speaking.
She does, only because youāve been the coolest person ever to her since you stabbed Billy with a tranquilizer syringe and threatened him with a baseball bat.
She gets in the backseat, probably ruining Steveās fancy leather seats with how soaked she is, and immediately notes the grocery bags. Not junk food but actual ingredients, great Steve was gonna cook you dinner and now sheās crashing your date night.
Steve is already slipping off his knit sweater and cranking up the heater. He sets the car in park in the middle of the road before turning around so he can hand her the sweater.
āYou wanna actually tell us why you were walking around in the rain?ā He has a disapproving frown on his face but for some reason Max doesnāt feel like itās directed at her.
She wants to refuse the sweater but sheās shivering in the backseat and it feels warm in her hands. So she takes her crappy poncho off and slips it on, hoping the two of you mistake the few tears escaping her eyes for rain.
āHey weāre not gonna tell your parents,ā you say gently, reaching out to smooth down her soaked hair. āWe just wanna know, I promise.ā
āMy parents are out for the night,ā her voice cracks when she talks and she really hopes you two just think sheās cold. āSo Billy invited a girl over.ā
Sheās looking down at her soaked shoes because looking at either one of you feels scary right now. Even then she knows you two are exchanging glances, communicating without speaking again. She remembers her mom and dad doing that, when she was younger and they still loved each other.
āOkay,ā Steve says after a beat, his voice softer and reaching out to fix the sweater so it sits evenly on her. āYouāre gonna come back to my place with us, and then you can use my phone to leave a message for your mom that youāre sleeping at a friendās house. Sounds good?ā
Max nods, trying to rub her hands and warm them up. Steve takes the car out of park and starts driving back to his place. The two of you are quiet throughout the drive and she doesnāt feel like starting a conversation. Every so often her eyes dart back to the grocery bag, the thought of Billy making a girl dinner is so laughable it feels absurd.
After a few minutes the BMW rolls into the driveway and you come over to her door with an umbrella while Steve grabs the grocery bags from the other side. Itās ridiculous for you to walk her twenty feet over to the door with the umbrella but she humors you anyway.
She follows suit when you and Steve slip off your shoes by the front door before walking in. The two of you actually own proper rainboots and Steve gives a glance at her thoroughly soaked converse.
āAlright Iām gonna start cooking dinner,ā Steve tells her, gesturing to the grocery bag. āWhy donāt you go take a shower?ā
āI donāt needāā
You both give her a look.
ā...Fine,ā she relents after a moment, because it does feel like her bones are rattling inside her body.
āPerfect,ā you take her hand, leading her over to the staircase. āIāll show you where it is and get you some clothes.ā
You take her upstairs, stopping by one of the cabinets in the hallway to grab some towels before leading her into Steveās room. Itās mostly what sheād expect from a teenage boy, some movie posters, a basketball laying around, and a desk that obviously has seen very minimal studying.
She does catch the fact that there are multiple pillows on the bed and the sheets are a nice cream color instead of bachelor navy blue. Thereās some books and a candle on the nightstand, along with two mugs holding the remnants of last nightās tea in them.
āHere we go,ā you say, finally looking up after having rummaged through the top dresser drawer. Based on the clothes Max can see in, itās your designated space in Steveās room.
You hand her the towels along with some fluffy pajama pants, they have little teddy bears on them, along with an oversized t-shirt.
āBathroomās down the hall on the left, just yell if you need anything.ā
She mumbles acknowledgment and you turn to leave, then Max calls out your name before she realizes it.
āWhatās up?ā you turn around. Her chest feels tight, everything feels wrong and right at the same time. This is how things should be for her, but theyāre not and sheās terrified this brief moment will be stolen from her in seconds.
āYouāre not gonna call my parents⦠right? You or Steve?ā
Your face softens and you walk over to her. Wrapping her in a hug and pressing your lips to the top of her head.
āNo weāre not,ā you murmur and rub her back. āYou just have to promise me one thing, okay?ā
Maxās shoulders are shaking as she cries into you. Quiet sniffles like the girls who sit on the curb outside of their house after Billy decides heās done with them. āWhat is it?ā
āNext time something like this happens,ā you whisper, still rubbing her back. āCall us, weāll come get you.ā
She nods against you and you hold her for a few minutes until the crying subsides. When she pulls away you press a kiss to her forehead before leaving.
She follows your instructions, going down the hall and to the left to find the bathroom. Thereās two of everything. Tooth brushes, towels, body washes, and shampoo and conditioner sets. She canāt resist being nosy and taking a peek in the bathroom drawer. She finds a makeup bag and inside all the products look minimally used.
Steve must have bought it so you wouldnāt need to bring yours back and forth.
The idea of him standing in your bathroom carefully writing down the products and their shade names to buy them is so silly and sweet enough to make her giggle quietly.
Max takes her time in the shower, letting the steaming hot water warm her body. She also wants to make sure sheās fully composed because itād be way too embarrassing if she started crying again.
She steals your body wash and washes her hair with Steveās shampoo and conditioner because she thinks itās funny. The boys make fun of him for preening with how much he invests in his hair products. Itās stupid considering how nosy they got when Dustin revealed he knew Steveās hair routine. He never actually told any of them.
She dries herself off thoroughly after the shower and examines the skincare products on the counter. Not the cheap soaps she convinced her mom to buy after her face started breaking out. Fancy expensive ones that you need adult money to buy. Two of everything again, things Steve bought to make you more comfortable in his space.
She uses your facewash and dabs on a little moisturizer out of curiosity, it smells like clay and she likes it a bit. After wrapping her hair in a towel she heads out of the bathroom and walks over to the stairs.Ā
The smell of garlic hits her nose and just as sheās about to head down she clears the click of the front door. Then your feet padding on the floor as you walk into the kitchen and tell Steve: āSheās a size six.ā
āHmm you think red rainboots are a little too on the nose?ā
āShe likes the color so itāll probably be fine. Just maybe make the pants and coat a different color?ā
āHow about all yellow? She can look like the Morton Salt girl.ā
āWell she would look adorable, but sheād also probably kick you.ā
āRed boots it is. Iāll get a small for the pants and a medium for the coat.ā
āSteve, that jacket is stupidly expensive.ā
āWhich is why Iām getting a medium so she can grow into it.ā
Max doesnāt tell herself it means anything, she never does, but the next morning she finds a bag of rain gear on her porch.
Ok guys for the ppl asking for a byler fic I have an idea lmk what u think,
Like a modern/ambiguous time period AU where the characters are in HS together
Basically El and Mike would have a mutual breakup at the beginning of the fic and it starts with her telling Max
Max is nosy and convinced something else is going on, so she encourages El to spy on the guys night like in S3
El still has her spying/astral projection whatever u want to call it power bc she was part of a religious cult that did experiments or something but she got saved by Hopper and he adopted her
Basically when they spy they realize Mike and Will have a crush on eachother and then they like create a scheme to help them get together
byler deniers hate to admit that mike is universally better received and understood by the audience whenever he returns to his core character trait of loving will
ALSO ALSO I feel they may be sacrificing pacing to shove all the dramatic climax stuff into the finale bc itās gna be in theatres, like this whole season has been build up and filler with what feels like little to no stakes
OK AND FURTHERMORE to add to my last post bc ppl are asking y I donāt have byler doubt (spoilers for vol 2)
Ok so BASICALLY when theyāre at the radio station shocking the pumpkin and Robin told Will the process of accepting herself to being able to tell people to being able to actually make a move and be with Vickie took her years.
But with Will it only took him a day or so between accepting himself (when he sees the tapes in his mind and gets his powers) and being able to come out to everyone.
So the next step that Robin laid out, that he gets to be with someone, could also logically happen on an accelerated schedule compared to Robinās journey.
Iām not saying itās for sure but i am saying the show def hasnāt shut it down
