You want AFFECTION!? These two are the softest, warmest, gentlest people ever, BUT THEY ARE SO DAMN SHY. They both hate PDA so, so much. Logan just doesn’t want to draw attention to them and Ben is just.. flustered.
Bashful:
They both get flustered so easily. Ben is able to hide it behind a face of stoicism, but Logan just looks like he’s about to melt all the time.
Cuddle:
In order for these two to have the courage to cuddle, it has to be built up to. Hanging out, dinner, movie night, sleepy, and then cuddles.
Dancing:
Slow dancing to old tunes, like Frank Sinatra. Logan is looking down and Ben is looking straight ahead. And they’re both blushing like crazy.
Ending:
If these two aren’t able to get over their shyness with one another, they’d probably have a mutual agreement to break up, as much as it would hurt both of them.
Fiancé:
These two dorks would propose at the same time. Probably at the planetarium or at a concert. They would both cry, too.
Gentle:
Did I already mention that these two are gentle? Because these two are GENTLE. Ben gently pushing back Logan’s hair to check for head injuries, Logan rubbing Ben’s back to help him calm down.
Hugs:
The sweetest hugs when they’re alone. Nuzzling, shirt clutching, the works. It provides them a sense of safety.
I love you:
Ben does the sign language for I love you every now and then when he just thinks Logan is being too cute. Logan murmurs it under his breath a bunch when they all hang out as a group. Also, everytime they're I’m the phantom and Logan is convinced they’re gonna die, he just shouts it.
Jealousy:
Ben gets… so incredibly jealous so easily. Mainly because he’s so protective of Logan. But he’s not possessive. Logan gets jealous too, but because he thinks Ben can do so much better than him.
Kiss:
Rarely kiss on the lips. Cheek, forehead, and hand kisses all the way for these two.
Love language:
Ben’s love language is 75% quality time and 25% physical touch. Logan’s is 80% quality time and 20% acts of service.
Marriage:
The smallest wedding. Small after party. But the GRANDEST honeymoon. These two are huge romantics at heart.
Normalcy:
Their sense of normalcy is lying next to each other and doing their own thing. Logan doing homework, Ben playing guitar, legs brushing against each other.
Open:
They’re both so emotional, big hearts. But they have to take a bit to really trust themselves to be open with each other (for Logan, it was especially hard). But when they get to that point? These two tell each other EVERYTHING. No secrets kept between them.
Past relationships:
Ben has never dated anyone before. He has had crushes, but after the incident, he hasn’t been open enough to trust anyone enough to develop a crush. Logan has never had a crush on anyone before. Being bullied most of his school life and having such a heavy family secret will cause a kid to be closed off.
Quiver:
Ben just swoons when Logan rambles to him about astronomy. He could hear this dork ramble for hours. For Logan? Watching Ben do literally any task involving physical labor. What do you want from him? Ben is muscular, he’s allowed to look!
Realize:
Ben realized his feelings when he saw Logan going stonefaced while sniping. It was a different side to him that just made him realize how incredible Logan is. Logan realized after he learned how Ben lost his voice. He just knew he was.. so in love with this guy who’s broken like he is.
Sick:
Ben gets sick super easily, and Logan, having lived with his grandparents for so long, is an amazing caretaker. Soup? Check. Blanket fresh out of the dryer? Check? Benadryl? Check. Logan, however? He never gets sick. Ever. He’s never been sick in his LIFE.
Talk:
They like to talk about the most random things. Tell each other inside jokes. Ramble to each other about things no one would understand
Ugly:
Ben gets really frustrated when Logan keeps things from him. Logan his whole life has been so closed off that he has to take some time to say certain things, which can frustrate Ben. Logan doesn’t like it when Ben gets overly aggressive. Bad memories are triggered from that.
Vanished:
Never separate these two. They are a packaged deal. If you separate them, they WILL go John Wick. You have been warned.
Whole:
They’re apart of each other. Their soulmate. So, ya. These two don’t feel whole without one another.
Xtra:
These two are always teamed up together in the phantom world. They work the best together. At first the team thought they were clingy, but then they realized that together, they get shit done.
Y me?:
These two are so self conscious that they have to ask this question.. a lot. They always support one another and after realizing that they’re both asking the same silly question, they decided it’s kind of ridiculous to fret, so they stopped asking.
Zzzz:
Two sleepy guys. Only cuddle when they’re sleeping. Logan is laying nearly entirely on top of Ben and Ben in spooning him very closely.
back to brainrotting about sbg and i want to know who everybody's fave ships are
bc like i ship aidlyn (very predictable ik) and ik a lot of people ship benlor (ben x taylor) but i ship ben x logan way more?? tho i would totally be down to see ben x taylor x logan even if it's ben dating both of them but logan and taylor not dating each other and i have been thinking way too much about them so now i need to know everybody else's opinions
I was wondering... since we won't be getting a continuation on FlameBait.... would you be ablento tell is what the deal is with Bengan?
I am not exaggerating when I say it keeps me up at night 🥺
*offers up piles of tear-stained gourmet trash*
Sure! Under a readmore in case folks don't want an answer to the mystery~
Bengan is the classic dating sim character who knows he's in a dating sim! His feelings of interest and attraction are genuine, but unlike the rest of the cast he's directing his feelings through the fourth wall directly for you, dear player.
If you're playing on Windows he'll do an extra fourth wall break by looking at your account name (this is a normal thing most programs can do, and the information can't get to us unless you share it a normal way like screencaps or streaming, don't worry) and treating this as your "real" name, which definitely works some of the time!
Most of the time.
But yeah, to the best of my knowledge there wasn't anything deeper going on with Bengan than "breaking the fourth wall is super fun" and he was game to be depicted that way in the game.
