28. something about him
Benrey sits on top of a tank in a storage room and watches Gordon stomp around and yell about aliens. They've just encountered some creature that's new to the Science Team and subsequently killed it, so of course Gordon is freaking out.
"How does something like that exist?" he yells. "How does that even make sense - Tommy, Tommy, please stop pointing that at me!"
"Sorry, Mr. Freeman," Tommy says, swinging the gun away from his face and pointing it down the hall instead. "I'm ju- I'm only trying to be prepared."
"Okay," Gordon huffs, as Dr. Coomer and Bubby smash apart crates behind him. "Yeah, okay, sure, that's - that's not a bad idea." He glances around and frowns. "Hey, has anyone seen Benrey?"
Tommy glances up at where Benrey's sitting on his tank, then looks away, mouth in a thin line.
"Gordon, I'm thirsty!" Dr. Coomer chirps, and Gordon sighs again. Benrey watches the line of his throat as he tips his head back in annoyance and bites down on the pink-and-blue Sweet Voice that tries to escape.
"Fine, Dr. Coomer. Let's try to find a vending machine."
Benrey kicks his heels gently as they merge into a group and head for the closest doorway. He should be irritated by Gordon, by his loud voice and his belligerent attitude and the way he yells at everyone, especially Benrey. But there's something about him that just fascinates Benrey. He either wants to bite him or kiss him. Maybe both. Is that a thing?
Well, he can't figure it out from up here. Soundlessly, he hops down from the tank and trots after the group. He's interested to see how long it will take Gordon to notice he's back with them, and he's even more interested to hear what kind of noise he makes when he is inevitably startled by Benrey's presence. Maybe he'll even put his hand on Benrey's shoulder or face again. Maybe that would help him make a decision on the biting or kissing thing. He hopes so.
In the meantime, Benrey follows the Science Team like a shadow and tries not to think about the way everything is converging in his head. The timelines may be coming together, but he will ignore that as long as he can. He'd much rather have fun with his friends.
