Your Pov:

I'm useless, I've been playing chess from the past eight years of my life and I still haven't reached the US championships. Sometimes I feel like Beth was so much better for Benny. I can't even reach the finals of US championships and Beth was the world champion. Benny must be so disappointed with me. What should I do? Keep reading his books? No, I have already read them many times. I should practice with Benny, maybe he'll help me. "Y/n? Hey, are you even hearing what I'm saying?" Benny snapped you out of your thoughts by shaking you by the shoulder. " Benny! When did you come back?!" you were a little startled by his sudden appearance. "I'm standing here from the past two minutes blabbering about my day and you're lost in your own thoughts. What's the matter?" he asked you with a concerned look on his face."Uh, nothing. I'll get the dinner ready, you should go and freshen up." you pecked his lips and he smiled weakly. You knew he was quite exhausted.

Benny's Pov:

I don't know what she was thinking about... probably chess. I glanced at all the chess books which were scattered on my table and her chessboard with all the pieces on it. She went to cook so I decided to take a quick shower. I had a very crappy day, the tournaments were silly and I couldn't find any worthy competitor. Beth was the only one who had beat me till now. I don't like her, I hate her. She just used me to get on the top, I was a fool when I thought that she loved me. Sighing heavily, i got dressed in my comfortable pants and my robe. " Benny, dinner's ready." Y/n peeked her head in my bedroom. "Come here, love." I  opened my arms for her and she hugged me, her giggles muffled by my bare chest. "Thank you for the dinner, love. I'm starving." I said, placing a quick kiss on her forehead. After dinner, I cuddled with her till she fell asleep, I knew she was still thinking about something. Nevermind, I'll ask her tomorrow.

Time skip to next morning:

Your Pov:

Benny was in a really, really bad mood. He was arguing with someone from the past half hour about the accomodations at his next tournament on the phone. To say that he was angry would be an understatement. He was furious. "You bloody fix that problem and don't call me anymore." he hung up and sat back on his table to play chess. I should probably make some tea to cheer him up and then I'll ask him to play chess with me. You thought. You poured his favourite black tea in his mug and went where he was sitting. He was frowning, his robe was open which revealed his perfectly toned abdominal muscles. His hair looked so perfect even if they weren't brushed. Those blonde, soft hair, you were in love with them. You loved him. You placed the mug on his table and he glanced at you, mumbling a small thank you. Patience, it was all you needed. You waited for him to finish his tea and noticed carefully. He was in a better mood. I think it's okay if I ask him to play chess with me now. You thought.

Benny's Pov:

Y/n made some nice tea for me and it really helped me cool down just a little bit. But that man on the phone was a real pain in the arse. I think I need a break from this, I need a break from chess, just a little break. I should go to the bar after finishing this last chess game. I've been playing this game from as long as I can remember. Sometimes, chess can be... boring. After playing a few more moves, I kept all the pieces back in the place and I went to wash my face, I was really sleepy. The tournaments are getting more and more exhausting, I've to travel a lot and I don't think y/n likes to stay home alone. I think I should get settled, find a nice job and start a family with her. I'm in love with this woman who gives her heart and soul to me. I want to marry her and love her. I don't want chess anymore. "Benny?" I heard her soft voice and I turned to see her standing right behind me with a smile on her face.
