Aiden is frantic as he begins knocking harshly on his girlfriend’s door, one hand clasping Benji’s tightly. The recently blinded Grunt is quiet, which only serves to unnerve the blond more. How could anyone be so calm in this kind of situation? Aiden couldn’t understand why Benji. shy, timid, cautious Benji, was so calm with the fact that he was blind, while Aiden was falling apart.

He knocked again, debating on calling her right then and there. “Babe! BABE! Open up! It’s a fucking emergency, and I don’t know what to do!”

Benji frowns, turning his head in the direction he knows Aiden resides in. He hadn’t had a clue where Aiden had been planning on taking him after his discovery of Benji’s condition and the confrontation that followed. So he had taken him to Alena’s huh?

He actually felt relieved he wouldn’t have to see that....That shimmer of happiness the two shared whenever they glanced at one another.

___________

It’s okay

Even if it causes grief to your beloved

I’ll make your wish come true

I’ll steal your light from you

And leave you to the darkness you so desire

The darkness that will shield you from what you are afraid of

Benji shifts his position, trying to make himself more comfortable as his bed makes an audible creak. The noise does not bother Aiden, sleeping above him in the top bunk, if his continuous stream of snores are any indication. Benji opens an eye to peek around, only to be greeted with darkness. Nothing he would worry about. It was probably in the middle of the night, and Benji liked having a room bathed in darkness when he slept. He was a pretty light sleeper, so any unfamiliar noise or sudden source of light would wake him.

Benji does wonder just what it was that had stirred him awake. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. The rain was falling just as heavy as it was before, and Aiden was snoring as usual. He couldn’t even remember what he was previously dreaming of before. Nothing out of the ordinary. A shrug, and Benji brought his blanket to cover the rest of his body, nestling into his pillow as he drifted back to sleep.

It was the sound of rustling and muffled conversation that woke Benji again, and the dark haired male sat up with a yawn. The room was just as dark as before, however the rain had lessened considerably, this time nothing more than a light shower. Benji frowned, wondering who was making so much fuss so late at night. Then again, there wasn’t exactly a distinct time where Po Town was ever exactly quiet. All occupants had their own patterned sleeping schedules, some being extreme night owls. He fell back, letting his head hit his pillow as he closed his eyes. It should have occurred to him that he no longer heard Aiden snoring above him, but he decided to take advantage of the apparent late night to get in more sleep.

The sound of chirping and the increase and noise finally stirred him awake once more, knowing full well at this point all of his roommates were up and about. He figured it was time to get out of bed…Benji opened his eyes, intent on reaching for his necklace as he usually did, having it rest beside the small night stand next to the bunk beds…Only to be greeted with the same darkness as before.

Benji sat up quickly, rubbing his eyes before glancing about. Darkness to the left, darkness to the right. He closed his eyes tightly before opening them, only to be greeted with the same thing. He repeated his actions, trying to find some way to rid himself of the darkness around him. When he opened his eyes after the fifth try, Benji finally understood two things.

Night time had been long gone…

And that he could no longer see the light of day.

Benji found himself being dragged along by Aiden as the blond lead them to Shady house. Once Aiden had discovered his secret about his recent loss of vision, the two had sort of a mild argument before Aiden had grabbed him by the elbow and began dragging him to god knows where.

Benji could somewhat understand his frustration, after all they usually didn’t keep many secrets between them, and he had tried to hide his blindness best he could. He couldn’t exactly pinpoint a reason why he felt he needed to hide his condition, least of all from his best friend, but he did.

Besides, Benji was oddly calm about it. Of course this only riled Aiden up more, unable to fathom why Benji was keeping his cool when he was blind, possibly for the rest of his life. Benji hadn’t actually thought about his feelings on whether this was temporary, or permanent. Secretly...He didn’t mind either way.

“S-Sis will know what to do...” He heard Aiden whisper, before he was abruptly pulled to a stop. Aiden seemed to reach his destination, and Benji heard him give a few quick knocks to a door. They had wandered upstairs so...

“P-Plumes! Sis! Please if you’re in there I..We need you. It’s an emergency!”

Plumeria? He had brought him to their Admin?! Benji found himself a bit anxious, having not wanted this to become such a fuss. It wasn’t like he was severely hurt, and he honestly wasn’t too bothered by his condition, although that may have been a cause of concern in itself. However, Benji held Plumeria in very high regard, and instantly felt guilt settling in at bothering her for something like this.
