DO NOT MISTAKE MY KINDNESS FOR WEAKNESS. ©
heirsofvillainy:
Auradon was a foreign land to him, and acclimatising to the setting was not something Harry found easy. Between his temper and desire to be as free as his father before him, answerable to no king, he did not work well with rules and found the remedial goodness classes one big joke. The only class he had really taken to was History of Woodsmen and Pirates and he occasionally enjoyed some of the sports, though usually only if Gil was also involved.
At the sight of Ben, he paused in his trek to class and raised an eyebrow at the professional tone. “Y’ actually sound interested, tha’s some skill…” he replied coolly, not believing that the other was really so invested in his welfare. “I’m managing though one more remedial goodness class an’ I might make myself a wee problem tha’ could land me back on th’ Isle…”
It was hard, to check in on every single person that had come over from the Isle. There were so many, but he was doing his best to make sure that everyone was settling in well - making sure that they had everything they needed. He tilts his head, nose scrunching up slightly at Harry’s tone and words.
“I am interested, Harry. I want to see how things going are for you. If you need anything to make settling in a little easier.” Ben keeps the smile, as hard as it might be, head shaking. “That’s not the case at all, Harry. Everyone here understands and nothing you do will send you back to the Isle. But the barrier is open, if you ever decide that Auradon isn’t the right fit for you. But there’s a whole world out there, too.”
faeheir:
she reaches out for him, feeling the warmth of his hand in hers – she’s missed him, missed this. more than she thought she would ever. he makes her feel happy, safe, like she can be some one outside of all these expectations and rules and boundaries. ‘ can we take things slower, this time ? none of the…. expectations and rules, like before ? ’ because maybe that was part of the problem, maybe all those expectations made her feel like she had no control. ‘ just… you & me, not the entire kingdom ? for now, at least ? ’
ben watches her reach out and he takes her hand, fingers lacing in with hers. his thumb gently rubs across her knuckles, feeling the difference between their hands. hers is rough, much rougher - with callouses. hers are proof of how hard she’s worked, proof that she’s worked hard to get where she is. his are softer, not by much but they are. he listens and he smiles. “is that what you want?” because if it is, then he’ll work to make it happen. he’ll work to keep their relationship quiet, as hard as it might be. “we can do that. i’d do anything for you.”
ladymalevxlent:
Her smile widened at Ben’s response. They were okay, thank goodness. She sighed, her faze shifting towards the doorway. “Okay. I guess we really ought to head to bed before someone catches us out past curfew. I’m too tired to be sneaky,” She noted, and then blinked a couple of times after a thought occurred to her.
“…can we still get in trouble for being here past curfew?” She wondered. Mal would hope that being with the king was a valid excuse.
Being sneaky has never really been Ben’s forte. It’s just never been his kind of thing. He’s a little too loud and a little too clumsy and a little too heavy to be sneaky or anything of the like. He isn’t like Mal, they were raised differently - she knows how to be light on her feet, how to be sneaky and how to be quiet. He smiled softly, shaking his head.
“I don’t think we should.” He’s royalty so he should be able to make up his own kinds of rules, he should be able to decide when he’s allowed to be out and even if it’s past the curfew. “I think we’ll be fine, but we should go to bed.” It was getting pretty later after all and Ben had a long day ahead of him, as he did every day.
ladymalevxlent:
Her gaze dropped to their hands, her fingers intertwined with his. Well, at least he hadn’t sworn or promised anything when saying that …although Mal had a feeling that Ben would do everything in his own power to keep that promise to her anyway. Sometimes she wasn’t sure if she deserved it.
“I know,” She assured him with a little nod. “…if there’s anything I can do for you, just let me know too. I mean, I care about you too.”
Ben would do his absolute hardest to make sure that he didn’t promise anything that could end up being dangerous for the both of them. There was a chance he might slip up and he just had to hope that Mal would catch it and change it. There were ways around the bigger promises, there were loopholes to make it a little less damaging. He’d have to keep it in mind for all times.
That made him smile and he nodded slowly. “I know, Mal.” And he did. He cared about her and she cared about him and that made for pretty good days, didn’t it? “I know you do.”

faeheir:
she appreciates ben. she loves ben. how he cares for her so much, how. even though he is it for her, and she is it for him, he still doesn’t want to pressure her, to come back to him, to stay when she still isn’t sure. ‘ i think i can get there, i just. ’ she fiddles with her thumb, eyes shutting. ‘ i just think i could use a bit more time, but i do want to be with you again… eventually. ’
“so take your time.” it really is as simple as that. it’s as easy as that. if she isn’t ready, he isn’t going to push her. even if that means she’s never ready. he’d never push her or force her into something she wasn’t ready to do. he’s not going to watch her fall apart, not like before. he’s going to make damn sure that her mental health comes first. above all else. because it’s the most important thing in the world. “take care of yourself first, please, mal. if you’re happy, i’m happy.”
isledragn:
she shakes her head – does he get what she means, what she’s trying to say here ? ‘ no, ben, what i mean is… ’ she taps her fingers against the table, restlessly. she knows she’s the one who broke up with him, that this is on her. but…. she should be honest, shouldn’t she ? ‘ it isn’t working because i miss you. ’ the whole moving on thing. she can’t move on from him, even if she wanted to. ‘ i don’t… think i’m ready, not yet. but i think you’re it for me. ’ because it won’t ever be anyone but ben, will it ? maybe it’s always been ben, before they even met. he was, always would be, the boy of her dreams.
maybe he doesn’t understand where she’s coming from because he doesn’t realise the angle she’s coming from, he doesn’t realise that she means it like that. but then she speaks and his heart slams hard against his chest and he blushes harder than he means to, teeth pressing down against his lower lip - pulling it into his mouth. he releases it with a soft breath, cheeks sucking in a little bit. “you’re it for me, too, mal. but i don’t want you to feel suffocated with me. i know that - being with me comes with a lot more than just me. i don’t want you to feel brought down by the... everything.”
ladymalevxlent:
She laughed, weakly. “It’s not our fault we’re busy, I guess…” It wasn’t Ben’s fault that he was king. He had actual duties, and Mal knew that spending time together was trivial in comparison. It sucked, but hey, it was nothing worse than anything from the Isle.
“Exactly,” She nodded along, and while she managed a smile, she knew that this particular condition was kind of a pain in the ass. It was trickier to avoid that iron, possibly even deadlier too. There was a lot of power in words, and the fae were bound to them. “Thanks, for understanding, and for being patient with all of my …well, this crap.”
Maybe Ben would enjoy a reason, an excuse, to actually spend a solid amount of time with her. Maybe he’d love to have a reason to be around her and not have to leave. By making a kind of promise like that. But he knew that it was reckless and stupid to abuse power like that and he wasn’t that kind of person, that not kind of king, either.
“Of course, Mal.” Ben knew that it wouldn’t be easy, that every person that came over from the Isle would be riddled with complications and issue and damage. He knew that. He was willing to take the burden and he was willing to see it through. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze and smiled. “Anything for you, you know that, right?”
isledragn:
there isn’t anyone for her. not anyone but him, anyways but. she knows that if she goes back to him now, like this, it’d be a repeat of why they had to break up in the first place. she’d fall back into the old patterns she’d worked to move past. ‘ yeah. ’ it’s a lie. she won’t find anyone, she doesn’t want to find anyone else. ‘ i um —- i miss you, actually. ’
ben doesn’t want to be selfish. he doesn’t want to hold her back, he doesn’t want to dull her sparkle or be the reason that she doesn’t find her happiness. that she doesn’t find her person. even if it isn’t him. he wants to be supportive. he wants to be her friend, at least. he doesn’t want to be in a world where they don’t talk about the things that bother them or bring them down or make them happy. but she speaks and it feels like his heart is breaking because he feels it, too. he misses her with every atom of his being. “i miss you too, mal. i’m sorry - work’s been crazy.”
@darkenedvanity & starter call --- ben & audrey .
❝ audrey, hey... ❞ his tone is soft and caring but it lacks any condescension. she’s been through a lot and all he wants to do is make sure that she’s okay. even after everything, audrey is his longest and closest friend and the last thing he wanted to do was hurt her. ❝ how are you feeling? ❞
solhcir:
His voice startles her, ever so slightly, and she tenses in her seat before realizing it was only Ben. Her shoulders relaxed, honey colored eyes softening as her fingers absently carded through his hair. “Really? You don’t look so alright to me.” Freckled nose scrunches, voice laced with worry, as a rare frown overpowered her usually smile. He didn’t deserve this. There was a LOT she’d held against King Bitch … sorry, King Beast … but near the top of the list was throwing his son to the metaphorical wolves. But this wasn’t the time nor the place to express her discontent. She sighed. “I’m just glad you’re resting, at least for now.”
Her fingers run through his hair and it only makes him melt further, sleepiness pulling at every part of his body. He can feel the dark tendrils curling around his waist, pulling him down - threatening to take him completely under but he wants to stay awake, needs to. He can’t fall asleep when there’s so much left to do. His lids flutter as he looks up to meet Stella’s gaze and he huffs quietly, lips pressing together for a moment. His head settles back against the pillow and he wriggles slightly under the covers, blinking a few times. He can feel himself drifting, slowly but surely. “’m fine, Stella, really...”
@memorystxrs & a starter !
❝ you’re lucky you’re cute, you know that? ❞ ben’s smiling, nose slightly scrunched up with the smile. ❝ but i think the teasing is starting to die down. ❞
