Art Class
By: sushigirlali
——————
Couldn’t she have one sacred place all her own?! Rey was fuming, her fingers clenching so tight they threatened to snap her brand new paintbrush.
Ben Solo, her office nemesis, her one great weakness, smirked at her from the dais, keeping her stare as he slowly dropped the cloth covering his crotch.
She knew this was a test, but who would break first? Definitely not her. She was NOT going to look, to satiate her curiosity, to finally get a good look at what lie beneath those expensive, tailored—
“Fuck!”
The whole room turned to look at her, but Rey didn’t think, she simply reacted. She ran.
“Hey, Rey! Wait up!”
She glanced behind her and almost stumbled as a very nude Ben Solo chased after her. His legs were much longer than hers, so it wouldn’t take much for him to catch up.
“Go away!” she shouted, her cheeks burning with embarrassment and… something else.
“Will you just stop for a minute?” Then, softer, “Please.”
He sounded frustrated, but so was she. Quickly running out of hallway, Rey veered to the right. If she could just make it to the side door that led to the parking lot…
“Shit!” She gasped as strong arms suddenly snagged her from behind.
“Now will you listen?” Ben said drolly, holding her struggling form tightly.
She could feel every inch of his chiseled body pressed against her back and butt and thighs and the instant rush of arousal she experienced only made her angrier.
“I’m going to kill you,” she growled.
“Look, I didn’t think you’d react that way, I didn’t mean to—to embarrass you or anything.”
“I find that hard to believe,” she said bitterly. “You’re always trying to fuck with me.”
He suddenly let her slide down to the floor and turned her in his arms. “Hey!” She grumbled up at him.
“Rey,” he said evenly, “isn’t that kind of our thing, though?”
“What do you mean?”
His dick was hard against her stomach and, despite her awkward response to his state of undress, she itched to look at it again. Maybe sketch it, maybe touch—
“Ben!” she gasped when he backed her into the door she had been trying to escape through, hands on either side of her head.
“Fuck!” He dropped his forehead onto her shoulder, his breath coming in quick, sharp pants. “The things you do to me, woman.”
His tone was giving her impossible ideas, but they couldn’t be true. Right?
“Ben, why are you here?”
“I wanted—I don't know. Maybe to shock you? Impress you?” He lifted his head, his soulful brown eyes staring straight into hers. He wasn’t smirking now. “Get your attention?”
“You wanted me to… see you naked?” He was saying something else, too, but she was having a hard time believing it.
“Vulnerable,” he corrected. His cheek dimpled as he chuckled. “It seems stupid now, but I had no idea you’d react like that. I’m sorry.”
“Why are you being so nice to me?” She was feeling vulnerable herself.
Rey had never seen a man without clothes on in person before, and the fact that it was Ben? She blew out a harsh breath. No, she wasn’t ready to admit to anything, least of all that she maybe kinda possibly had a thing for her rival.
“Am I?” He seemed amused. Ben slowly pushed away from the door and she unconsciously arched toward his retreating body heat. “Interesting,” he remarked, letting his hands hang at his sides.
“What is?” Rey barely recognized her own voice, it was so husky.
He backed up another step and Rey’s eyes instantly went to his cock. It was long and thick and rising before her eyes and—
“Ohmigod!” Rey said in a rush. “You have an erection!”
“Glad you noticed,” he said wryly.
“Ben, we’re in class!”
“At an art studio, for adults,” he laughed. “Don’t be so scandalized. Nobody here works at our office and I won’t tell anyone.”
“You won’t?” This whole incident seemed like the perfect piece of gossip for Ben to hold over her head. The shrinking virgin runs away from a massive dick.
“Rey,” he said, prying her attention off his genitals and to his face. “Want to get dinner?”
“What?”
“Would you like to go to dinner? With me?” He rushed on when she didn't respond. “I promise I’ll put pants on.”
“I don’t understand.” Well, she did, but he couldn’t possibly be asking her on a date while standing buck naked in a public hallway. This must all be a big misunderstanding. “I’m not mad, not anymore at least, so you don’t have to… why are you laughing?”
Ben moved forward again, crowding her against the door. “Rey, I like you. A lot.”
“I—uh. What?”
“Honestly, more than like, but let’s start with dinner and see where it goes.”
“But you’ve always hated me?”
“No.”
“No?”
“No, Rey,” he said quietly. “Quite the opposite.” And with the way his arousal was poking her, she believed him.
“Oh. Oh!” Rey finally understood his actions, and hers. She hesitantly raised her hands and placed them on his chest. His muscles jumped under her touch, his smooth skin prickled. “Can you, um…”
“Sorry,” he said gruffly and attempted to pull away. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to—oomph!”
His mouth softened under hers almost immediately and he wrapped her up tight again. “Bend your knees,” she whispered. “It’ll be easier to… yeah.”
They kissed heatedly, something Rey hadn’t done much of, but it was natural with Ben. After a few frantic moments, they pulled back to breathe.
“I… more than like you too,” she admitted. “A lot.”
“Thank fuck.” He hugged her close, then grabbed her hand. “Let’s find my clothes and get that dinner.”
“I mean, I suppose you do owe me for ruining class,” she teased. She was smiling so wide her face hurt.
“I thought bold statements were supposed to be romantic,” he chuckled.
“Lucky for you,” she said, pulling her hand away, looking pointedly at his cock, and then sticking her tongue out, “I’m easily impressed.” Then she took off running back down the hallway.
“How dare you!” he said with fake outrage, chasing after her once again.
Rey giggled all the way back to the classroom, eager to leave and start their date. Now that she was over her initial shock, it really was a shame to cover Ben up, though.
Oh, well, she grinned, maybe he’d give her a private art lesson after dinner.
“Hey, Rey! Wait up!”
Oh, yeah. He definitely would.

65: “ Did you do something different with your hair? ”
it’s a stupid question. of course she’s done something different with her hair. it’s been tied into her customary buns for every day he’s known her-- except today. but it’s all ben can think to say when rey asks him if she has something on her face because he can’t seem to stop looking at her.
a pleased little smile blooms on rey’s face. “i didn’t think you’d notice,” she says, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
he shrugs, and his stupid, traitorous tongue moves before he gives it permission to. “i notice everything about you.”
all she says is, “oh,” but he doesn’t think it sounds like she’s creeped out. she’s still smiling, anyway, and he’ll take that as a good sign. “you notice things about me?” she asks.
“yes, of course,” he blurts. ben winces and squeezes his eyes shut. “i mean...” he tries, “we’re friends, so of course i notice things about you.” that sounds reasonable, right?
the secret little smile still doesn’t leave rey’s face. “poe didn’t notice i changed my hair.”
“well, poe is an idiot,” ben says.
rey smacks his shoulder. “be nice.”
“anything for you,” he says dryly.
but she tilts her head to the side curiously and asks, “do you mean that?”
“what?”
“‘anything for me,’“ she repeats. “do you mean that?”
“i mean,” he shrugs. play it off, ben, come on, play it off, can’t let her know you’re tragically, madly in love with her, be cool. "you’re my friend. i’d do anything for you. so would finn or poe or rose or jess.”
something in her face says she doesn’t quite believe him, but all she says is, “i love you. you know that, right?”
“yeah.” he swallows hard against the unwelcome lump in his throat. “yeah, i know. i love you too.”
F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom
Hmm, I’ve been active in The 100 fandom since early 2016, though season 5 sorta slowed my activity down. Other than that, probably Star Wars, which I joined in December 2016 and haven’t looked back :’)
G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it
