“So your really gonna do it? get your spikes out I mean.” you questioned while kicking your legs against the building you and Ben were sitting on.

“Well, yeah. I mean, I’m just tired of always being a ‘freak’ and ‘razorback’. And Lordes knows it shortens lifespan and I’d kinda like to reach twenty” Ben said and leaned back against the old sign. “Personally I don’t think spikes would be what stops someone from reaching twenty now days. But hey, that’s just me” you replied, shrugging.

Ben pushed your shoulder “Well aren’t you just a ray of sunshine.” he laughed. You gasped. “Ben Mason how dare you!” you said jokingly “I am no sunshine, I am a stormy demonic cloud of darkness!” you finished with a evil laugh.

“I never knew ‘stormy demonic clouds of darkness’ loved Gatorade.” he said motioning his hand towards the bottle of said drink next to you. “They don’t, I’m just a rebel stormy demonic cloud of darkness. I go against the stormy demonic cloud of darkness’ code” You replied smugly. making him laugh.

You silently watched the people down below for awhile just enjoying each others’ company. “We should probably get going, curfew’s soon.” Ben said after awhile. “Yeah, I guess your right. Race ya to the tent!” you yelled and jumped off the building racing full speed to the tent. “H-hey! wait up!” Ben yelped, quickly jumping off and chasing after you.

__________________________

You stood outside the ‘operation room’ waiting to go see Ben and you were just waiting to be aloud in to see him. Lordes walked out and you ran up to her. “Everything went fine, no complications.” she said and rubbed your shoulder “You can go in and see him, I should go check on some other patients” she told you with a smile then walking off.

You grinned and went inside. Ben was sitting on the hospital bed with his hands in his lap. “How’d everything go, you feel all de-alienized?” you questioned walking up to him. He gave a small laugh. You sat on the end of the bed and dropped your legs onto his lap"Yep, I feel like a fully earthling who could live to ninety!“  "I just got the imagine of geezer Ben mason shooting skitters with vome tech. Now that’ll be something to look forward too” you rested you chin in your hands with your elbows on your knees while he just rolled his eyes. “Yea I’m sure our grandkids will enjoy seeing that” he replied. You raise an eyebrow “’our grandkids’? getting ahead of yourself ain’t you there Mason?” He simply laughed. “I’m gonna see what kind of drugs Lordes has you on and when they’ll wear off, cause your really delusional” you said getting up,

Tom was coming in as you were leaving. As you passed by you leaned over and whispered to him “Careful, he’s still a bit loopy. Seeing rainbow zebra’s in bikinis and all” and left. Tom gave Ben a questioning look, confusing him since he didn’t know what was said without his super hearing anymore.
_______________________

You were sitting up on the old building again with Ben. This time though, you had to carry him up. Ben said he was going to climb up, but after a embarrassing fail on his part you just put him over your shoulder and carried him up.

“You look good with glasses Benji. They look good on you, I didn’t think they would, but they fit you well” you commented. Ben had been pointing out different constellations and telling you meanings of some for awhile, most of which you had no clue about what he was saying.

Ben’s cheeks turned a light pink while he stared at the sky hoping the darkness would hide it. “Thanks (y/n). That’s means something coming from you even though its a total lie. I look like a complete dork with these” he said and yawned. You rolled your eyes “Self confidence Ben. You could use some” You patted his knee and stood up. “C’mon, if you don’t get some sleep you’ll be left behind tomorrow, let’s get to bed.” Ben nodded with a thanks once you’d gotten to the tent and fell asleep as soon as he hit his sleeping bag. You laughed quietly and sat on yours to read.

On the trip to go chat with Cochise about plans, the Ishfiny had ambushed you. Well, they probably weren’t expecting anyone and were just traveling by considering it was only 2 Mechs and maybe a dozen skitters. Hal and Maggie had taken out the Mechs with Vome guns but the skitters seemed to be everywhere at once, you had killed a few when you saw Ben thrown into a bush by one of the skitters. You pushed it away before it could attack him and stabbed it through the soft pallet.

Once you pulled your knife out it looked like all the other Ishfiny were dead. You pushed the foliage away to get Ben out of the plant. Ben was sitting on the ground clutching his ankle “Ben! You ok? what happened!” you shouted and picked him up bridal style.

“I mwsthd mh mnhkl” he mumbled “What?” “Imwisthd mh makle!” he mumbled again, looking away from you. “Ben what are you saying?” you questioned “I twisted my ankle when I fell in the stupid bush” he grumbled so you could hear. You laughed and readjusted him in your arms. “We’ll get you fixed up when we get back to camp” you said and kissed his head, making him try and hide his face in your shoulder. “I feel ridiculous. Are you sure your OK carrying me? I can try to walk I’m a lot heavier (Y/n)” Ben complained. You chuckled “Ben its fine, your feather light, remember whose got supahuman strength here will ya?” You replied and nuzzled against his head.

“Thanks for saving me from the skitters and well, carrying me” Ben mumbled “Well of course Benji! now that I’m definitely the stronger one, I shall always be here to protect you! my damsel in distress~” you coo, holding him close and nuzzling against him. He buried his face in his hands trying to hide his blush. Actually, trying to disappear from Hal who was laughing his ass off.

“(Y/n) stop it!” Ben yelled frantically and tried to pull you off the man you were currently trying to destroy.
But he deserved it, he was making comments about Ben’s spikes and calling him a razorback.
A bunch of people had come to see what the brawl was about.
“Ben, take her out of here for now. (Y/n), we’ll talk later” Tom said once Ben and Maggie had pried you off the now bloody jerk.
Ben gently pulled you out of the building and over to the benches.
You huffed “You shouldn’t have stopped me. The jerk deserved it. And more” you grumbled.
“(Y/n) there was no reason for you to attack the guy.” He said and sat beside you
“Ben you heard what he said, he had it coming.” You said kicking the ground.
“Its fine, I’m used to it, I have spikes so those kind of things will be said” he said sadly, shrugging like it was no big deal.
“But they shouldn’t be said! They are cruel and mean stupid comments said by assholes who don’t know anything!” You growled and looked at him, he was hunched over, starring at his shoes.
“They’re not normal (Y/n), they are alien. Other people don’t have them, you don’t have them. I’m a freak.” He said without looking up
“Ben” you whispered and put your arms around his shoulders “Your definitely not a freak. Heck, with your strength? Your a super hero” you said and tilted his head up to look at you. You could see the sadness and tears in his eyes. You pressed your lips to his firmly, it took him a second to kiss back. You pulled away and smiled at him. “I’ll just help crush some villains. So, be my hero?” You asked sheepishly
He smiled and nodded making you kiss him again.
“I thought you two were in trouble? This wasn’t the punishment I was expecting you’d get. Be gentle with him (Y/n), he’s clueless!” Hal yelled from behind.

“Matt! Have you seen Ben?” You whisper-yelled while trying to stay hidden around the side of a jeep.
He looked up and ran over with a grin “No but he’s been looking for you. Anne, my dad and captain Weaver too. I saw you leave earlier everything alright?” He asked. You thought you’d snuck off without anyone seeing.
“Yeah, all’s good but I wanted to pick up some stuff” you replied and looked around. You needed Ben but you didn’t need spotted. You really didn’t.
Ben had been seeming down for awhile so you wanted to cheer him up.
“I was supposed to tell if I saw you around” Matt said and rocked back and forth.
’That little trickster’ you thought
You opened up your backpack and pulled out a candy bar “I haven’t been here have I?” You asked while handing him it
“Well” Matt said after pocketing the sweet. You rolled your eyes and handed him a pack of gummy bears.
“Thanks (Y/n), haven’t seen you all day!” He said and ran off.
“Good thing I brought a lot” you muttered zipping up the sweets filled bag and tossing it over your shoulder. Now to find Ben.
He has seemed a bit down lately and you remembered him saying something about liking how sugary fruit loops were once, so to cheer him up you snuck out at dawn and raided a candy shop a few miles away.
Since you weren’t sure what he liked you took a ton of different candies, chocolates, anything that looked tasty and wasn’t melted or gross.
Awhile later you found him under a tree reading. Or trying? He seemed to be starring into space instead with his book sitting open in his lap.
“Ben!” You called and ran up to him
“Oh hey (Y/n)” he said with a smile “Where’ve you been?” He asked and put his book down next to him.
“Doesn’t matter” you said and waved off his question sitting next to him, pulling your bag next to you “more importantly I gotcha somethin” you said while rummaging through your pack
“Me? What for?” He asked, confused why you’d go and get something for him
“Cause you’ve seemed not so happy for awhile and as your best friend its my job to fix that” you said and dumped the backpack out between you two.
His eyes widened seeing all the goodies “where’d you get all this?” He asked incredulously
“There was an untouched candy shop in town, not so untouched anymore” you said and put your hands on your hips grinning proudly at your work “whatcha waitin for Benji? Dig in!”
“You really didn’t have to do this (Y/n),” he said blushing lightly “But thank you. And you should’ve taken someone with you” he said and started eating a Hershey’s bar.
“I’ve been meaning to say, I don’t want to be friends anymore,” you paused and looked at him. He just stopped. He starred at you like a lost puppy with a piece of chocolate part way out of his mouth.
You leaned over and bit down on the chocolate slowly making your lips brush against his “I wanna be more” you said and pecked him lips, stealing the rest of the bite of chocolate out of his mouth before sitting back up and opening a bag of candy, acting like nothing happened.
Ben stared at you, gaping with his cheeks heating up but giving a wide smile once he understood what you’d meant.

“Wakey wakey c’mon let’s goooo” you said nudging his shoulder. You’d gotten way past bored and wanted to talk with him but he was laying on his side on a couch refusing to wake up.
“Ben?” You questioned when he didn’t respond “Wake up” “You said we’d hang out after your nap like 4 hours ago”
you tried again and shook his shoulder “Ben” *poke* “Benji” “Mason” “Middle Mason” “Are you hibernating?” “Are you mad at me?” “Are you dead?”
You were sure he’d been awake awhile now “Wake up or you’ll regret it~” you sang.
He still didn’t move. You huffed. “Fine you asked for it” you said and jumped on him. He didn’t even flinch.
“Weeellll?” You said and propped yourself up to look at him
“Bennjjjiii come on I’m bored” you sat on his torso and poked his side
Nothing.
“Ugh!” You said and threw your head back to look at the ceiling.
“Fiiiine” you said and were about to get off him, when you went to get up he pulled you down next to him between him and the couch back..
Surprised, you stared at his peacefully ‘sleeping’ face for a moment
“Ben I know your awake” you said and bopped his nose lightly.
He scrunched up his nose, groaning quietly and buried his face in your shoulder still not getting up. You couldn’t escape his super strength but you knew exactly how to get him up. You sighed and pretended to give up and relax. He sighed happily, smiling, and cuddling you closer to him before falling back to sleep. You waited a few minutes then you lifted your head and whisper in his ear “I found your yaoi mangas”
he shot up so fast he fell off the couch and stared at you, gaping like a fish, startled and red faced.
You stared back before bursting out laughing at him.  “W-well that w-worked!” You managed to say through laughing.
“T-thats not funny (Y/n)!” He said looking away, still pretty red.
“Wait, so does this mean you have some yaoi mangas hidden around here?” You asked him, eyes gleaming
“N-no!”

“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.

“(Y/n), you ready to go?” Ben knocked before entering ‘your’ room.
You were getting ready to go on a supply run with him and a few others. Well, you were trying to get ready. But your hair was refusing to cooperate.
“Almost, sorry my hair is being evil.” You said as he walked up behind you.
“Maybe I should cut it off?” You wondered out loud, looking at your reflection in the mirror.
Ben took the hairband and brush from you and combed through your hair gently while you loaded your handgun
“You can’t do that to your hair, its beautiful. Just like you.” He said and you scoffed and tightened your gloves
“Come on, if you hate fixing it that much I’ll do it for you, k? And how’s this, better?” He asked and you looked up, your hair nicely tied in a high-ponytail/fancy-braid so it wouldn’t fall out on you.
“Ben” you said tapping your foot slightly aggravated.
“What’s wrong?” He asked, he always got worried if you seemed angry or unhappy with him.
“You can fix my hair so much better then me and you’ve never had to deal with long hair!” You complained pouting at him with you arms crossed
He chuckled and  turned you so you were facing him, wrapping his arms around your waist smiling leaning down
“Maybe I just know how to take care of your problems?” He mumbled against your lips quietly and started to give you a kiss just as the door opened revealing Tom and Hal, making Ben jump away from you.
“Hey guys ate you ready to-oh, geez, get a room you two” Tom said awkwardly, turning away from the little scene
“We have a room, you just walked into it” you said laughing. “I, uh we were. Uh” Ben tried to explain
“We were just coming out to leave, sorry sir.” You said laughing at Bens flustered expression
“Nice going dad, just ruined little Bens only chance” Hal said mockingly
“Its time to go if you two are finished…?” Tom said gesturing to the two vehicles ready to move out. You and Ben followed outside.
“So are you ever going to tell me why your a hair stylist?” You asked. Ben looked away embarrassed “I used to babysit a little girl down the street, OK? My secret talents origin is out” he pouted
You laughed “sounds good” you replied and pulled him down for a kiss.
“Gross no PDA guys that disgusting” Hal said making a face and gagging
You sighed rolling your eyes playfully ‘Maybe next time you can actually get a kiss outta him before someone appears’

You sighed and leaned your head on Ben’s shoulder “You sure have changed, Ben.”
He looked over and wrapped his arm around you “What do you mean?”
You tilted your head up slightly to meet his gaze “Before you were shy, kinda dorky, weak and awkward. And shorter than me, what happened? Your well, all that now!” You said gesturing to all of him
Ben chuckled “I’m stronger now, to protect you and everyone else. I haven’t really changed though. I just, adapted.”
“Yeah well I liked being the ‘protector’” you grumbled
Ben pulled you onto his lap so you were straddling him and smiled.
“Quit being bigger than me” you muttered poking his chest
He chuckled quietly and gently lifted your chin up and brushed his nose against yours “Don’t worry (Y/n), you’ll always be the dominant one”
You sat up on his lap and smirked, wrapping your arms around his neck and pressed your lips to his.
You could feel him smile into the kiss and rest his hands against the small of your back.
You licked his bottom lip immediately gaining entrance earning a small moan from Ben.
Ben had long ago given up fighting you. Slowly pulling back from the kiss, a string of saliva connecting you and both out of breath. Red staining Ben’s cheeks.
You stared into his half lidded eyes leaning closer to his face and tilting your head like a puppy you grinned “Got that right Ben”
