THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE LEDGERVERSE BUT I HAVENT WRITTEN THEM INTO THE FICS YET BC IM CURRENTLY CRAMMING A 10K PAPER FOR MY LIFE RN #1 (a series)
Benedict is a bisexual equal opportunity flirt so it gets on Penelope's nerves that not only does Ben has had a crush on her mother and constantly reminds her of it but also that he stills flirts with her. Portia of course never does anything or acts on it nor does she reciprocate but is flattered nonetheless.
Ben: How'd you feel if I became your stepfather, Penny?
Penelope: I would not hesitate to commit patricide.
But Ben the slut also has a habit of flirting with Phillip (Pen's ex-stepbrother in this au, just a reminder) bc he sees him as fair game and Phil's sexuality is still up for debate (he's not picky about gender). Phil knows Ben's not serious but he gets flustered still. Ben particularly enjoys the flirting and ramps it up just because it annoys both Pen AND Colin
Ben: so Phil, how tall do you like your stalks? How thick? 😏😏
Phil: *internally* WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO
Colin and Pen in the doorway
P: would you hate me if I killed your brother?
C: I'd kiss you for saving me the trouble of doing it myself.
Eventually... Ben's incessant flirting starts to get on el's nerves too especially when she starts to realize her feelings for Phil.
Funny thing is, Phil starts flirting back and Eloise nearly punches a wall.
Now the Whistle Trio (Col Pen El) are all pro-murdering Ben
