âHard to sit here and be close to you, and not kiss you.â
â F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tender Is The Night (via wordsnquotes)
he opened the door with care to lessen any squeaks, and slipped in the house. mindlessly, he locked the knob behind him as he slipped off his shoes. the house seemed quiet, still dark, but that was no indication. benji turned down the hallway and peeked into the left room. empty. relief washed over him.
on his way back to the kitchen, he dropped off his bag on the couch. the selection was somewhat bare. benji knew it was almost grocery day. he counted off how much he would need over again in his head. it wasnât necessary. he always knew how much. as his calculations ended, he noticed he was staring at the fruit bowl. banana.
moments later, he was rifling through his bag, banana held between his lips. after a pile of receipts and old schoolwork had collected on his lap, he found the envelope he was looking for. he bit off as much was in his mouth and held the rest while he counted the money in the envelope. again.
he finished his banana, shoved the miscellaneous crap into his bag, and the envelope into his back pocket. with a glass of water in hand, he tiptoed down the hall to the right room. angelâs. heâd gotten no more than two steps in before angel rustled. he stopped in his tracks, but it was no use.
âhello?â
âitâs me,â he replied, in soft korean.
they needed that, between them. benji continued then, taking quick steps to kneel beside her bed. he set down the water on her nightstand and brushed her bangs away before leaning in and kissing her forehead.
she whispered a thank you and benjiâs body relaxed. he let himself feel the moment, her warmth, the silence, the intensity he felt simply being near her. but he knew he had to let it go. he pulled a foot up from kneeling to try to stand, but his shirt was being held onto.
âstay, please?â
benji could feel his heart melting. he nodded. âlet me get to the closet first?â
the small hand let go of his shirt. he took out the lockbox at the back corner of the closet, and placed the envelope in it. safe and locked, benji gently set himself in angelâs bed.
he switched to english to say, âgânight, squirt,â and she replied, âânight, freak.â
wanted connections
notes: none of these connections are set in stone. if you like a certain part but not another, letâs create something that works for everyone. multiple connections could be taken up by the same character. i welcome most any other connections outside of this list as well.
(0/1) tattoo: he pressed his forehead against his forearms, lips tightened against the pinpricks of pain working their way across his ass. when it was done, he looked in the mirror and grinned. âsick.â
(0/1) punch: all it took was a few choice words. a jab at his family. angel, or maybe his dad, he couldnât remember anymore. but he bets they remember the mark left on their face. benji swore it wouldnât happen again, but even heâs not too sure.
(0/3) exes:
hateship - passion hissed through gritted teeth, clouding the air with swirling emotion. were they angry or horny? both, or neither? it sounded like confusion in the form of smacking lips.
fwb - they knew what they were getting into. it was simple. primal. no obligations, clothes optional. what could be wrong with that? nothing, to benji.
almost - they were friends, maybe more. benji gladly kept them at a reasonable distance. not too close, not too far. but he slipped. he nearly let them in. what was he thinking? he needed them further away, so he cut them off.
beards - after so long as friends, the age old situation came to change their dynamics forever. if youâre gay, and iâm gay, letâs pretend weâre dating so we can be gay in peace.
(0/2) pranking:
competitor - ardor rides through this relationship. itâs a game, but in the end they both win. friendly or not, they know their relationship is mutually beneficial.
partner in crime - as benji says, nobody knows you like your partner in sin. they vibe on a similar wavelength, feed off of one another in innovation and laughs.
sidekick - not all pranks can be delivered by a single person. sometimes, benji needs back up, and he prefers someone that he can trust. someone that looks up to him.
(0/?) friends:
unlikely - thereâs no reason why they should be friends. they live in completely different worlds, are polar opposites from one another. but something connects them.
lights - cigs or weed, sometimes itâs more fun to indulge with a friend. quiet corners, bubbles of laughter, or even a light, theyâre there.
lab partners - itâs a necessary evil. when benjiâs not cracking jokes with nearby friends, heâs not completely useless, but thereâs no doubt his partner got stuck with the short end of the stick.
good influence - benjiâs not sure how he got stuck with a friend like them. they bring out the good in him, which heâs pretty sure is locked six feet under in a double safe.
bad influence - they feed one anotherâs demons. one stacks on another on another, but where is the fault if itâs fun in the end?
friendzoned - there were feelings, on one side. benji isnât in the business of relationships that involve anything but mutual benefit or sexual gratification.
toxic - their personalities donât mesh in the slightest, but against all odds, they continue to be friends. the history books will forever wonder why they deal with a toxic environment.
cheat i - neither of them were big into the institution of homework, but when one of them happened to do a particular assignment, it seemed to become an unwritten agreement between them to share with the other.
(0/?) enemies:
ex friends - a prank gone too far left a striking gap between them. whether it was the physical or mental toll, it reflects tenfold in the map of their relationship.
unknown - itâd been so long since their beef, neither of them can remember what had made them so upset in the first place. that doesnât mean the feud will end, though.
frenemies -Â âfriendsâ is the term they use, but in practice, it seems like they are enemies. they talk shit behind each otherâs back and to one anotherâs faces, like theyâre constantly stuck in limbo.
cheat ii - benji hooked up with their partner. it wasnât like he knew they were taken, but shouldnât the blame really be on the person who cheated? although, itâs not like he feels bad about it.
Writing Technique: Character Interview
ghostflowerdreams:
Thereâs a technique that some writers use when it comes to the development of their character. It is used to engage their fictional character in an interview like one would read in a magazine.Â
Character Interview Questions:
Where do you live now? Do you like where you are? Why do you like it, if not why not? Is there somewhere else that you prefer? âGot this place southside nowadays. Does its job, but our old place was cool. Shit happens.â
What race/nationally/species are you? Have people mistaken you for a particular kind? âIf I got a penny for every fuckinâ time someâun called me Japanese or Chinese Iâd buy ten yachts.â
Would you like to have children one day? How many would you like? Do you think youâll be a good parent? âHoly shit, slam on the breaks. Iâm eighteen. Anâ besides, Iâve already got Angelâs bratty ass.âÂ
Do you have any siblings? How many? How old are they? What are/were they like? Do you get along with them? âYâhavenât heard? Yeah, got my sis Angel. Sheâs alright. Top of her class, rebellious as hell, little weirdo, too.â
What do you wear when you go to sleep? Why do you wear it? âNothinâ if I can get away with it. Anâ cos itâs comfortable. Is there any other fuckinâ reason?â
What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently? Any reason why you say them a lot? âLetâs see. Fuck, cunt, bitch, shit, ass, twat, cock. Shall I continue?â
If you have a favorite scent, what is it? Why do you like that scent? âI dunno if itâs a favorite, but I like fresh laundry. Calming and that.â
Do you have a favorite (or hated) song? Favorite type of music or instrument? âUgh, you know that Barbie Girl song? Just started playinâ the radios and I canât get that shit out my head. We get it, you like some kinky BDSM shit, shut up about it.â
Do you smoke, drink, go whoring, or use drugs? Why or why not? ââGo whoringâ, you can say sex now, this isnât the 80s. But yeah, now and again. Drinkingâs gross though. Doesnât have to be a reason for everything.âÂ
How long is your attention span? âLetâs see, Iâve been here for long enough I think we can call it long.â
Do you laugh a lot? What do you find funny? âIs it really living if you donât laugh? Anythingâs funny if you put your mind to it. Believe in yourself. Find your path. Shit rainbows.â
How athletic are you? âIâm not on no fuckinâ JV teams yeah, but it helps to stay in shape. Keeps me agile, versatile, âflexible, if yâknow what I mean.â
Do you like animals? How do they usually react around you? âYeah, who doesnât? If theyâre bred and enslaved to be useful companions for humans, donât yâthink we should take advantage of it and enjoy them? Cats are dope.â
What, if anything, do you like to read? âIâll read just abouâ anything. Big on fantasy, though. Like Lord of the Rings? That shit is mad good.â
What would you do and how would you react if you killed someone? What if they were innocent? âDamn, thatâs deep. Think no matter the situation Iâd cover it up. Canât say I trust the justice system to defend me properly even if it was self-defence. But who knows, âless it happens.â
Who was your best friend when you were growing up? Are they still your friend? If not, why arenât they now? Whoâs your best friend now? âUh, think thatâd be Noel. Nice dude. Still friends, sure. Heâs got his thing, Iâve got mine. Is what it is. Can we move on?â
What is your worst childhood memory? âWhat is your childhood trauma? At least get me a smoke before insisting on my lifeâs story.â
When was your first heartbreak? âKindergarten, coloring time. I remember it like it was yesterday. Shelly stole my blue green crayon. I have never known love since I lost that crayon.â
Do you have any secrets? If so, what are they? âCalled secrets for a reason.â
What is your alignment (good or evil)? âArenât we all bits of both? Isnât that the nature of humans by design?â
Do you, or did you, have any role models? Do you have any heroes or idols, either contemporary or from legend? If so, have you ever met them? Did you ever become disillusioned with former heroes or idols? If so, why and what were the circumstances? âSounds cliche as fuck, but my dadâs a big role model. Best guy out there. Was like he could do it all and still treat people kindly at the end of the day. Maybe Iâve got some illusion glasses on, but I know for a fact he was a great man. The best.â
Do you believe in self-sacrifice for the greater good? â...Yeah. Yeah, I do.â
Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love? âDunno dude. Sounds like a sack of bullshit to me, but who knows. Depends on your definition, I guess.â
Who is the most important person in your life, and why? âAngel, for sure. Sheâs my sister, yâknow? Itâs my job to love her and shit. But sheâs also a total fucking weirdo. âs hilarious when some stranger gets blindsided by it. Sheâs, like, top choice of kids.â
Do you have a lot of friends? If not, is there someone you consider a friend? âYeah, think I got quite a few. I like makinâ friends.â
Have you ever been in love? âEvery day. Heâs hilarious andâs got the dreamiest eyes and fucks me like no one else. His nameâs Benji and weâre getting married..â
What do you look for in a potential lover? âWell, I like it tight. Nice tits a plus.â
How do you fall in love? At first sight? Over a long period? âNever got that fall in love at first sight shit. Maybe fall in lust, but nah. Itâs bullshit. How you gonna fall in love without getting to know someone? Whatâs it youâre fallinâ in love with?â
Do you like interacting with large groups of people? âYeah. Gets too touchy feely sometimes one on one.â
How quickly do you judge others? âThatâs not a fair question. We all start judginâ someone the second we see them. Like yeah, Iâm gonna judge someone butterface wearing last decadeâs hasbeens. Doesnât mean Iâll treat them different.â
Do you care what others think of you? âUp to a point. âCourse Iâd like to be thought of favorably, but if Iâm not, is what it is. Not everyoneâs gonna like you, right?â
Do you have any enemies? âEnemies makes it sound like weâre in some comic book. Yeah, guess Iâve probably made some. I donât hate them for it. Gladly hate them for other reasons, though.â
Do you like yourself? âKinda question is that? We ought to get something more interesting here.â
What if you were hit on by another intelligent species? What would you do and say? âAre they hot? I need more information here, you canât leave me hanging.â
Which is your favorite term of endearment (ex: doll, baby, babe, cutie, dear, honey, sweetie, darling, princess, etc.), if any? Who would you use it on and why? Has anyone ever used a term of endearment on you? âPff. Buy me a packa smokes, get in my bed, and weâll talk.â
What would be harder for you, to tell someone you love them or that you do not love them back? âThat you do, duh. Canât control if you donât love somebody.â
Do you like to dance? Would you dance at a wedding? What if someone you love wants you to dance with them, would you do it? If not, why? âIâm no dancer but that wonât stop me from bustinâ it out. Weddingâs different. Guess itâd depend who asked, but yeah, if I loved them Iâd do it.â
What color is your underclothes/underwear, if any? âWhere were those smokes? -Navy blue.â
If you were frozen for 50 (or 100) years or teleported into the future, how would you react? What would you think about? What are the first few things you would like to know about in the future? âThatâd be the shit. Be shocked like anybody else, I guess. Probably wanna check in on Angel ânâ me if weâre alive. Ride a flyinâ car. Simple things, really.â
What do you think your evil counterpart would be like? What qualities would you think they would have? Or not have? Anything you think they would be better at? âIf theyâre the evil Benji would that mean Iâm the good twin? Nah, nobodyâd believe that.â
What if you were being haunted by a ghost? What would you do? How would you handle that? What if itâs someone you know? What if itâs out to get you, to hurt you? âOoh shit. Think Iâd talk to it? Itâd be bomb if ghosts were real. Especially someone I know. If itâs agro, dunno, thereâs like, shit to get rid of them right? Find that and fuck them up.â
What would you do if you learned that everything you thought you knew was all a lie? That youâre not who you are? That you were just a puppet, following someoneâs orders all along? Or worst that you are a copyâŚa clone of someone else? Or that you were created and implanted with the memories/thoughts/personality belonging to someone else? âBack up, damn. So many fuckinâ questions. If the world was a lie, think Iâd be more interested in figuring out what the real world is like, and how Iâm animated if Iâm out here a whole fuckinâ puppet. Clone... Maybe duel to the death. Best copy wins. Thatâd be dope. Same as implanted shit. If thereâs no point to life with two of ya, survival of the fittest.â
