“Hey Ben, what were you like before all this, anyway?” you said spinning around with your arms out, gesturing to the remains of the earth as we knew it then falling back into step next to Ben.
“A geek. Glasses, books, cartoons, comics, mathlete, drama club. He was a full on geek.” Hal said, passing by and ruffling Ben’s hair
“Anime. It’s anime, not cartoons! And manga!” Ben yelled and tried to fix his hair back (his hairs still longer for this). You pushed his hands away and fluffed it back to normal.
“Ben you had glasses?” You asked once you’d finished.
“Yea, I was the geek and Hal was the jock. I had big black framed glasses, they made me look like a dork,” he laughed “I’m really glad I don’t need them anymore” he finished
“Aww do ya have any pictures of you with them on? I wanna see” you said, walking backwards in front of him
“No, I don’t. And if I did you wouldn’t see them (Y/n), I looked stupid.” He complained “And don’t walk like that, your going to trip”
“I bet you looked adorable~” you said grinning
Ben blushed slightly and groaned “can we drop this subject?” He pleaded
“Fine, fine. What anime’s did you like?” You asked making his eyes light up
_____________________________________________________________
“Hey Mr. Mason, Mr. Mason!” You called while running up to Tom
“Hey (Y/n), everything alright?” He said, greeting you.
He knew you pretty well since you were almost always around Ben and when you weren’t, you were usually being teased by Hal or followed by Matt.
And when you were off helping others Ben would talk about you constantly.
“Yeah! I was just wondering, do you by any chance have a photo of Ben with his glasses on?” Tom gave you a questioning look
____________________________________________________________
“Ben!” You yelled, jumping on his back
“Hey (Y/n)” he said smiling “where were you? I was looking everywhere for ya” he said as you slid off his back. And he turned to face you, smiling happily
“Benjamin Mason you lied to me” you said poking his chest
“About what?” He said, confused.
“You said you looked stupid in glasses. But you look absolutely adorable” you said while holding up the small photo of him at around 14
“(Y/n) where did you get that!” He exclaimed while reaching for the picture
“Nah uh Benji, mine now.” You said, protectively holding the picture to your chest.
“(Y/nñnnnn)” he whined “give it back I look like a dork” he said giving you his puppy eyes
“Noo its miinnee. This is to adorable to give up, not that your not a cutie now” you said and pecked his lips
“I looked like a dork with glasses.” He complained, but a little less annoyed since he got a small kiss.
“Fine your adorkable. That better?” You reasoned
Ben pouted cutely, knowing he wasn’t going to win this
“Fiiiinnnneee. But your paying me for this with kisses” he said, grinning a little
You tapped you chin pretending to think about his offer
“I guess that’s a fair price” you said, tucking the photo safely in your pocket.
“When’s the payment due?” You said smirking at him.
He gulped “anytime is good” he replied, his voice on octave higher than normal.
