"i want a baby" kcricket, gemji

kcricket

“you,” the word just sort of trailed off after he said it, trying to process what the girl had just said. “you’re not serious,” he commented, sure that this had to be a joke. “are you serious?” he questioned, his tone dropping. 

gemji

“a... baby?” benji questioned, not unhappy about the suggestion, just a bit caught off guard. “we haven’t talked about babies,” he continued, walking over to where she was sitting at their dining room table and dropping into the chair next to her. “is there something that’s inspired this sudden desire for motherhood?”

✿ buying them flowers

Benji wasn’t sure how to react to this particular gesture from the girl, taking the flowers from her somewhat awkwardly as they both stood in the doorway to his apartment, him having just opened the door, expecting to find her, but not her with flowers. “Are these, like, for me to give back to you, or?” he questioned, not sure why she would get him flowers. “Like, I’m pretty sure this is supposed to go the other way around.” Though, admittedly, he had never considered buying her flowers either.

♬ singing to them

The boy let out a soft almost chuckle as the girl started singing, raising his eyebrows a little. It wasn’t exactly that he didn’t want to hear her sing so much as he didn’t really want to sit here awkwardly while she sang a whole song. Instead he wrapped an arm around her, pulling her in close to him. “You’re cute,” he told her softly before pressing his lips to hers, this activity being much preferable to him than her little performance.

☹ insulting a loved one

People not liking Fay was something Ben had definitely grown accustomed to in the past few years. In fact, it was something that seemed to happen more and more often the closer her got with people, and it was something he never fully understood. On one hand, he got that his sister was sort of distant and standoffish and didn’t exactly attempt to make friends with the people around her, but he never really got why people disliked her so much. Yet, here was another girl telling him how awful Fay was, and it was Layla, which meant she wasn’t exactly trying to spare anyone’s feelings. “Hey, watch it,” he warned her, not taking her concerns entirely seriously. “I get she’s not the friendliest person, but she’s my sister. You just need to give her a chance.”

♣ discovering them crying

Layla was someone Benji knew to be highly emotional, but more in a overly excited to overly angry kind of way, not in a weepy kind of way. Generally tears were something Ben worked hard to avoid, he generally wasn’t great at comforting people, or taking care of anyone, but he couldn’t help but feel a pang of something when he saw Layla alone in a classroom, holding her face in her hands, and he entered the room despite his worries. “Layla?” he questioned, easing the door shut after him and approaching her, dropping down next to her seat and looking up at her. “Are you okay?”

☠  pushing them against a wall

Benji chuckled when the girl appeared out of apparently nowhere, pushing him up against a wall. He raised his eyebrows at her curiously. “Is this like a sex thing?”

SEND 🎄 FOR OUR CHARACTERS UNDER A MISTLETOE! | ACCEPTING

layla practically dragged ben over to the mistletoe, and he trailed along, pulled by their linked hands, slightly less than willingly. he let out a soft sigh once they were standing under it and she was looking up at him expectantly. 

“i will kiss you right now under one condition, which is that you are not allowed to have someone take a photo of this to post on instagram,” he told her, but his hands were already slipping around her waist, a little smile settling on his face.

-christmas tree emoji- bryji cus I like to make ur life difficult obviously lol

benji noticed the mistletoe hanging in one of the doorways only moments after walking into the party and made a mental note to avoid said doorway the whole night. of course, plans don’t always work out and a few hours and several beers in benji found himself being jostled in the direction of the mistletoe adorned doorway, right near bryce, who had kept his distance all night but was still nearby, and approaching the doorway at the same time, unaware. when the boys found themselves next to each other under the little branch benji let out a soft chuckle, rolling his eyes slightly. before just turning and walking away, not saying a word.

can i kiss you? (kcricket, gemji, FAYXPHE)

send “can i kiss you?” to see how my muse responds | accepting

kricket

she practically screamed it at him from across his apartment, making him stop in his tracks, letting out a shaky sigh. “i do still have a girlfriend,” he says, not turning to face her, afraid, honestly, of how he already knows he’ll feel if he actually looks at her. “and you know i’m really fucking conflicted right now.” he said it to the wall, but he could feel her closing the space between them until he was sure she was nearly just behind him. 

“can i kiss you?” she asked again, softer this time, her voice reaching him from just an arms length away, if he just turned around. 

“cricket,” he mumbled, turning around finally facing her, looking at him in a way he wasn’t sure she ever had before, a way that reminded him why he was conflicted in the first time, and made it hard to remember why he wasn’t supposed to kiss her. “i can’t.”

“you won’t,” she corrected, still an arms length away.

“i shouldn’t,” but he was stepping closer to her now, hands reaching for her waist, pulling her closer to him, as her arms snaked around his neck.  

“you should,” she disagreed, shaking her head at him. “this is right, you know this is right.” 

and it was, even if it was wrong it was right. somehow, they were right, there was no way for them not to be. so he kissed her. 

gemji

her voice was soft, coy, as if she actually thought he might say no. he let out a soft chuckle, reaching out to push the hair out of her face. “any time you’d like,” he told her, leaning in to press a gentle kiss to her lips. 

fayxphe

the question came, quite truly, out of the blue. benji had run out to grab takeout, leaving ophelia and fay alone in the riddle living room studying, one of the first moments they’d ever spent alone. “are you serious?” ophelia questioned, looking up from her notebook to see the other girl looking at her intently.

fay didn’t respond, just looked back at her, her face saying it all. ophelia gave a slight shrug. “i mean, yeah, if you want,” she agreed, crawling over to her to close the distance between them.

006. cuddle (benji x bryce)

he hadn’t meant for this to happen. of course he hadn’t meant for this to happen. he hadn’t even meant to fall asleep in the first place. and he’d love to say that bryce must not have meant to either, but frankly it was hard to tell what the other boy wanted ninety percent of the time. still, regardless of what either had intended, benji had woken up in a tangle of limbs with bryce wrapped around him, apparently sleeping soundly. he didn’t want to admit to himself that it felt nice, in fact all he would tell himself was now annoying this was. but that didn’t exactly stop him from drifting back off to sleep with his arms around the other boy.

012. piggy back ride (Benji x Layla)

“No.” 

It was the boy’s instinctive response to the request. He wasn’t a piggy back ride type of person. Never had been. And he especially wouldn’t do something so silly and cutesy for a some girl. But Layla was pouting at him with her puppy dog eyes giving him the old “Please Benji.” Something he’d grown accustomed to in the months they’d been dating. He usually caved. Even if he hadn’t with other girls, he usually caved with Layla. Maybe she wasn’t just some girl. He hated that thought though. She was supposed to be just some girl. He shook his head at her continued requests. 

“Please, Benji, please.” she requested again. Puppy dog eyes. 

“Fine,” he said finally, albeit a little resentfully. “Hop on.”

“bruises?” ben x benji? idk fam i'm interested in all the thing

Ben hardly looked up when the other boy entered into the room, and instead just continued to wrap his bloody knuckles. “Got in a fight,” he said vaguely with a slight shrug. “Pretty sexy, huh,” he continued suggestively, raising his eyebrows at the other boy.
