HAIII OOMF, I GOT YOUđŻ Most of these are set in the Monastery btw :3
This is after the Merge and after they reunite, errm, Benthomaarâs really clingy in the morning, when Lloyd wakes up he finds out heâs being hugged like heâs going to get squeezed to death, and Benthoâs excuse is that itâs really cold up when itâs still sunrise and Lloydâs really warm (heâs just attached). Bentho also likes to give Lloyd forehead kisses with it, like heâd just savor every second they get to spend with each other because theyâre usually busy after.
Based on Lloydâs leaked outfit for S2, Benthomaar helps Lloyd wear his clothes before he starts the day, itâs not that Lloydâs outfit has so much accessories or anything but literally just for quality time (theyâre the married couple that never gets married). Benthomaar would stand behind Lloyd and help him drape the outer over his shoulders, and fix the sash around his waist, but right after he hugs him with his arms wrapped around him and Lloyd tries to escape his clutches by saying that the kids are waiting for him (his face is actually really flustered but he doesnât try to break from Benthoâs arms either way).
Lloydâs the one that cooks in the relationship, he learned his skills from Zane (and surprisingly Cole (HEâS LITERALLY INDONESIAN!)) and from the massive stack of recipe books scattered in the kitchen. Benthomaar loves to accompany him whenever he can, though heâs not that interested and is picky about surface dweller food, heâs curious on how to make them using so many varying essentials. When Lloydâs by the counter chopping a dish, Benthomaar would hug his waist from the back (he loves doing that because his head can rest on Lloydâs head) and either Bentho asks what Lloydâs doing, or they just stay in silence. Either way, if itâs raw fish that Lloydâs cutting, heâd just grab a chunk and feeds it to Bentho. They sometimes share small talk about anything in the kitchen, like itâs just one of their favorite places to be.
Lloyd sometimes likes to fidget by touching Benthomaarâs fingers because his skin texture is different than humans, he usually does it while theyâre talking or just out of the blue, if heâs really nervous or anxious about something heâd grab Benthoâs hand really hard, Benthoâs concerned for him and also his own hand because it feels like it could snap.
Benthomaar is royalty, and itâs definitely more usual for them to have servants that aid them around, such as preparing food, or cleaning their rooms, and so much more. However, there are no servants to help aid in the Monastery, Benthomaar is entirely on his own when it comes to such things. Lloyd was one of the Ninja that helped teach him how to do mundane, day to day tasks and chores, itâs not much â but it mattered enough for Benthomaar, he wasnât treated like a King when heâs around Lloyd, Lloyd treats him as Benthomaar, like a friend, a lover, and a partner.
The servants had always kept the palace spotless and the shine of the marble floor was like how the light glittered upon the seaâs surface, Benthomaar never had to bother to clean them, because it was not his task there, but in the Monastery, he has to take care of it, his role played just the same as the Ninja. So there he was, in the hallways of his surface home, with Lloydâs hand on his, trying to teach him how to sweep properly with a broom, and how to make sure he doesnât scatter the dust and dirt he had gathered with it.
Food was always prepared by the hunters, and prepared in the dining room neatly and tidy. Benthomaarâs only duty was to finish the food of his plate and leave politely, following the etiquette his father had taught him. But in the Monastery, he finds himself helping Lloyd read the instructions from the recipe book, learning of the unique edible flora of the surface world, and the variety of their dishes and spices.
And after, he helps Lloyd clean the dishes. Lloyd tells him that there are two soaps, one in the glass bottle is to wash his hands, and the other in the plastic bottle, was to squeeze for the dirty kitchenware â there were also three different sponges all in different colors. The pink one was to wash the plates, forks, spoons, or knives, the other types of tools needed to cook that Benthomaar struggled to remember the names of. The blue one was to wash the drinks, specifically only drinks, Lloyd told him it was because Jay one day brought up how it felt weird that they used the same sponge for everything, and it might âMake the water taste weirdâ. The yellow one was to wash the entire sink and other things that werenât used directly for cooking, just to make sure itâs extra sanitary. Lloyd also taught him to put cloth around the sink so that the water wouldnât splatter all over the counter, at first, Bentho was confuse because he assumed washing the dishes wouldnât be such a struggle, but in the end it was rather challenging, because the water did in fact, get everywhere. It was a humbling moment, but the laughter and the exasperated sigh Lloyd gave Bentho was funny and memorable.
6. After the Merge, Lloyd was genuinely worried for Benthomaarâs fate, he wasnât sure if he was alive, or he was hurt, what if something had happened to him and he never knew about it? What if Benthomaar ended up on the other side of the earth? Will they ever see each other again? Hereâs another thing to mention, Lloyd never had the chance to truly confess to Benthomaar about his feelings, and now he doesnât know if heâll get one at all. It gave him a lot of time to reflect, he questioned himself if he was going to move on, he didnât realize how much Benthomaarâs presence impacted him just as much as his family had. He finds himself anticipating a figure that fell asleep on his desk due to overworking, having to carry them into the bed so they can properly rest, he finds himself waking up and missing the sight of the color blue laying beside him, he misses the fingers that would thread his hair for comfort whilst sharing conversations about so many topics, odd ones, funny ones, all of it. He missed it, he missed Benthomaar so much, it was a while that he last felt his heart thudding weird that somehow brought a smile to his face, just as the smile he saw on the face of his friend â it was so bright and gentle.
7. But what about Benthomaar? Does he carry the same sentiment? Of course he does. However, whilst Lloyd had more time to spend alone and think, Benthomaar was always surrounded by persons and crowds, his duties as a King had only put more of a burden upon him as Merlopia grows stronger and bigger as time passes, there was so much that overwhelmed him than he expected. Benthomaar wonders if heâll ever get to share another moment with Lloyd, he wonders if Lloyd were there with him, what would he do, seeing Benthomaar buried within a flood of letters and papers? Would he scold him? Would he drag him away from his seat to rest? Would he try to create a distraction as Benthomaar suddenly finds himself laughing and hugging the one that he loved dearly, pushing his worries for his kingdom another day? Benthomaar would grip his head tightly, suddenly exhaling and looking out the windows of his chamber, perhaps, once he can finally break free from his tasks, heâll find a way to meet Lloyd again.
8. They donât admit how much they were yearning once theyâve reunited, they end up being very awkward. Because theyâre really happy and glad that both of them are safe and sound, but thereâs so much left unsaid â left to be said. Do they share the same feelings? Have they changed so much after the Merge? It takes a while, but slowly they start to reconnect, and they are back as they once were.
9. Itâs actually funny how they got together, because it wasnât through a confession or a proposal, it wasnât through words said during a beautiful sunset or sunrise, or during a rainy day where everything felt comfortable and right, or even during the midst of battle. It was because of Sora and Arin.
âWell, you know, me and Arin donât mind if we get another dad.â
âWhatâ what makes you say that? Whoâs your other dad?â
âThat guy you keep hanging out with, his nameâs Bentho, right? I mean, heâs a really fun guy and heâs nice, as long as itâs not anyone evil, right?â
âSora, what are you talking about???â
And later, once Kai heard, he laughs so loud and pats Sora on the back while snickering, saying, âheâs always been that bad, kid.â Nya only rolled her eyes because they all knew that their youngest brother was truly dumb when it came to himself.
