#violet x benjamin

@dcydrecmings continued from here [ x ] by some sort of miracle, violet had convinced ben to agree to a date with her. she wasn't sure what it meant, or what was there, but she couldn't just let it sit between them completely unnoticed. whoever was leaving notes was still doing so, but they kept fading in her mind. especially with each moment she spent with ben, her day always made a little bit better whenever she got to see him, her thoughts trailing to him when she was bored in class or at her internship. she had already spent the last twenty minutes pacing around her living room wondering if she had messed up or if he would change his mind or if this was mistake. but he knocked on the door, she counted to ten and swung the door open, her heart swooning at the sight of him. she blushes at his compliment, "thank you benjamin, you look so handsome." she reciprocates and means it, he's a handsome man. his next question sets her on edge, if it wasn't obvious violet was not a fan of surprises, having always been a bit of a control freak. she pauses, her door closing behind her, stepping even closer to him now. "erm..." she chews on her bottom lip to gaze up at him. and the truth was, she did trust him. "i don't like being in the dark but..." she nods. "i trust you. you ready to go?"

@dcydrecmings muses: ben & violet song: freakin' out on the interstate by briston maroney

falling in love was scary. terrifying actually. especially since she had been yearning for this all her life, to fall in love and be loved back. but with the prospect of that coming true in front of her, she was absolutely terrified. "ben..." her hand reaches out to him, shaking from the nerves. "i think...i think fear is part of love." she admits. "and one thing i've found...love is what you deserve." because he did deserve it. and she could only hope to give it to him.

@dcydrecmings ben & violet

seated at her kitchen table, violet has her computer pulled up and numerous books strewn about. law school was starting to kick her butt and almost every waking moment felt like it was spent to her studies. which is why she was more than thankful ben always seemed weekly to just accompany her, to be in the same room even if they weren't doing anything 'fun'. the two were still new, still unsure of what this really was, but what violet knew was that his presence made things better, that she liked looking up from her books to see him seated on her couch or drinking tea out of her mug. she liked him, a lot. "hey, ben." she calls out, quickly scribbling a note before glancing back to her laptop and then to him. "i have this exam on thursday but...would you want to do something this weekend? i promise i can take a break from my studies for once." she smiles, hoping he was free.

“What do you want me to say?” - violet/ben

it had been a shock, finding the note in his possession. she'd been curious at first, reading it before it sunk it. the handwriting, how it was addressed to her...he had been the anonymous admirer leaving notes on her car and in her mailbox for months.

which would be cute, if he hadn't let her believe it was someone else. as if she hadn't been falling for him organically, only to know he kept up this lie. he had let her complain about it, embarrass herself in front of her friends about it...only for it to be him all along.

after she had found the note, she'd fled back to her house, needed time to process, to calm herself down. but in actually she hadn't wanted him see her cry.

now he sat in front of her at her kitchen table, the most space between them that had existed in months. she stared at the floor, arms crossed, still trying to untangle everything she was feeling. "i don't know." she finally admitted, softly. "were you...were you ever going to tell me?" @dcydrecmings
