Bennett x Reader - "that's a nice hand you got there, can I hold it for you?"
"Can I?" You mumbled, looking up at the white-haired teen as your hand hovered over one of his wounds.
He looked off to the side before he looked down at you. "G-go ahead! I don't mind.." He smiled, rubbing the back of his head.
You nodded before looking down at his hand, you had no idea how the hell a sharp rock like this existed, much less how it managed to tear past the boys gloves.
"This might sting." You warned before dabbing some anti-infection cream or whatever it was on his small wound.
Bennett simply smiled down at you in place of a whinced-reaction you expected. "My hands aren't in the best condition..." He shrugged once you two made eye contact, I tried using lotion to make them soft but it didn't exactly work.."
"Eh, I think they're fine for such an unlucky person." You hummed, wrapping a bandage over it. "In fact, it's a hand I wouldn't mind holding." You grinned, tearing away the bandage once you finished.
"Oh.." Bennett blinked sheepishly before a blush settled on his cheeks. "Oh! Haha, you can- hold it? Was that what you were trying to say? Oh, um- hold it if you want! Augh-" the boy cursed his luck, concluding that it in fact, cursed his entire sentence.
You laughed before sitting next to him, moving his arm softly before intertwining your hand with his.
The boy looked away out of embarrassment as he cleared his throat, "I don't think this is a good idea! My bad luck could kick in at any moment." Despite his words, he didn't actually want you to stop holding his hands.
"It's nice though, isn't it?" You smiled, glancing at him before resting your head on his shoulder. In response, he stiffened before calling himself down.
"Y-yeah.. I think it's nice..." He nodded, the blush on his face was basically yelling. If he wasn't so unlucky, maybe you would actually like him. Though, he was already lucky enough to have you stick around with him.
The peace had lasted for a moment before a group of passing hilichurls had noticed the two of you. It was honestly quite annoying, bitches finally get to hold their crushes hand and get interrupted by some stupid ass hilichurls!
"I knew my bad luck would kick in..." Bennett sighed before standing up, already summoning his sword. Along with you summoning your own weapon.
You looked at the two approaching Hilichurls before you looked at Bennett, your gaze constantly shifted before it landed on your teammate.
"Let's just run!" You grinned before shifting your foot and running off. "Huh-?! Hold on, wait for me!" Bennett panicked before following behind you.
The two of you ran until you made it to Vennessas tree, it was a nice, calm place, that would be perfect for-!
"Gah,, I'm kind of tired.." You huffed, catching your breath as you looked back at Bennett. If there was a Bennett-!
"Hey! Where'd you go?" You panicked and glanced around, looking for your friend.
The boy appeared from a crowd of bushes with a few scratches on his face, a hand behind his head, and a smile on his lips. "I'm right here..." He spoke to catch your attention.
"Oh, what the heck!" You panicked before running toward him. "What the hell happened to mess you up so badly!?" You asked before putting your hands on his face, observing the scratches on it.
"I fell in a bush! It's nothing to bad..." He smiled as he glanced down at you, another blush making it's way onto his face before he grabbed your hands, carefully giding your hands back down to your side.
As much as he liked your touch, it would probably just trigger another stroke of bad luck. "I'm sorry about that, it must be such a burden to hang around with me..." He frowned.
You let out a sigh before smiling. "I love hanging around with you! It's never boring, you know." You laughed before grabbing his hand again, "lets fix you up."
"You already helped me today, you don't have to..." He mumbled in shame as you shook your head.
"It's not a problem, really! Getting to hold you hand was worth it." You grinned as you continued walking.
Bennett tilted his head as the two of you settled down beneath an empty area beneath Vennessas tree. "I thought people only held hands with the people they liked."
Your face fell before you let out a laugh, this guy was either extremely dumb, or dense. Maybe both.
"Why do you think I wanna hold yours?" You asked, leaning in close with a smile. Bennett backed away, the blush on his face delayed as he blinked sheepishly.
"Oh.." He managed to say, a smile taking it's time to form on his face. "You're really smooth..!" He laughed, "I'm not talking about your hand... But it's not- I'm not saying it's not smooth, what I meant is that you were really smooth by you know-"
"Stop." You deadpanned, placing a hand over his mouth to get him to stop talking. "I understood what you meant, Benny." You smiled before moving your hand to cup his cheek. You went silent for a moment before bringing your hand down.
"I like you a lot, you know." You hummed, brushing the fringe of his hair to observe the scratches on his face. "A little bit of bad luck wouldn't change that."
The poor boy needed a good moment to process everything. A soft blush settled in on his face along with the information.
"I always thought that if I fell in love, my feelings wouldn't be reciprocated..." He chuckled nervously. "You're a pretty strange person.." He mumbled before lifting up his arms awkwardly.
"Can I?" He asked, it took all his will power to not look away.
"Go ahead." You nodded, lifting your arms up aswell.
He took the chance, and your consent, to wrap his arms around you. Resting his head on your shoulder. "I like you a lot, [Firstname]..." He confessed. You could've sworn you could feel his entire body warm-up.
"I like you, too." Your words came out in a breathless whisper. Come on, a confession is enough to take someone's breath away, alright?
