Lonely Together Ben Pincus x Reader

Weird...Feelings?

We all made our way to the elevator and me and Ben we're the last who had made it into the elevator. His hand brushed against mine causing him to become extremely red. 

"Sorry..." I said quietly to Ben.

"I-it's okay, it was my fault." Ben replied.

We both made a nervous smile to one another.

Gosh, he's so cute. 

We made our way to the observation tower after a little bit of walking. 

"Last one to the top is a rotten egg!" Dave yells while pointing up.

Dave starts up the stairs, with Darius, Yasmina, Sammy, Kenji, and Brooklynn not far behind. Ben rolled his eyes and then took my hand.

"Is this o-okay?" He asked calmly.

"Y-yeah, of c-course. This is p-perfect. Your perfect I mean, yes. Did you say something?" I said in reply like a dork, a nervous giggle some how made it's way out of my mouth.

 Ben looked at me with a really cute smile making me blush really hard. Then he started walking forward, I was walking behind him and he was leading me up the stairs. We made it up with my hand still in his and Yas made that same weird face she made at me on the jeep. Looking out from the observation tower I saw a big dinosaur head making me gasp.

"Dinosaurs!" Brooklynn whispers.

"There's Brachiosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus, Ankylosaurus!" Darius yelled in awe.

"Check out the... Brontosaurus." Kenji says trying to be cool.

"They don't have those here, common mistake" Darius tells Kenji. "Are those Sinocaratops?!??? When did you get those?!"

"Woah, where are they herding 'em to?" Sammy said to Roxie.

"They're herding them back to their nighttime enclosures." Roxie explains to Sammy.

Dave points us to follow him over to the zipline. We all follow close behind Dave.

"Enough banter, it's zipline party time!" Dave yells doing a little dance.

Dave grabs ben by the shoulders and puts him on the zipline, causing Ben to loose grip of my hand. Before Ben could even think Dave was strapping him into the zipline, Dave did this knowing that Ben did not want to go first.

"Y/N HELP!" 

Be fore I could do anything Dave gave him a big push sending him down the zipline. Ben let out a really loud scream.

"Who's going nex-" Dave starts.

I immediately sit on the on the zipline strapping myself in faster than Dave could even blink. 

"Oooo looks like we already have 2 little lovebirds." Dave said winking. 

I started blushing then Dave pushed me down the zipline without warning. I have always been afraid of heights, I looked down and let out a small scream. I held on so tight to the rod holding me to the zipline. Eventually the ride came to an end and my feet hit the next destination. 

"Y/n are you okay?" Ben asked

"I should be asking you that!" I replied

"Yeah, I'm fine. You seemed really scared. Are you sure your okay?" Ben asked concerned.

"Yes I'm okay I just don't do good with heights." I said.

"Alright everybody, follow me and we will go back to camp." Dave tells us.

We all follow close behind Dave but Ben is falling behind. I offer him my hand and he takes it happily. 

"All right everybody, we're gonna go up to the building, and you guys can hang out and talk for about 30 minutes, then everyone is going to go to their rooms and go to bed, got it?" Roxie informs all of us.

We all nod our heads up and down. We start to the elevator and when we get to the top we all file out one by one. We are all exhausted, I decide to get into my pjs before sitting down on my couch bed. I walk out and grab my earbuds, the song Ocean Eyes starts playing in my earbuds.

I love this song!

I sit down on my bed and stare at the ceiling for a bit. Ben was in the shower so I didn't really have anyone to talk to but that's okay. Ben walks out with wet hair, he was wearing a blue t-shirt and black shorts. He sits on his bed nervously, he kinda curled himself into a little ball and he was whispering "Its going to be okay" to himself over and over again. 

"Here!" I say holding out my hand, in my palm was an earbud.

"T-thanks..." He replied.

I made my way over to his bunk and sat one the edge of his bed with him. 

"Alright, lights out everyone." Roxie yells.

Ben still has one of my earbuds so i sit with him until he lays down. I started to get up but he grabbed my wrist. 

"Y/n please don't leave... I'm.... scared." Ben said.

"Okay, where do you want me to stay?" I asked.

"Um, could u just lay next to me please? He asked nervously.

"Yeah, I guess I can do that." I said scooting closer to him.

He moved over closer to the wall located on the right side of his bed. I nervously slid on my back right next to him. I stared at the ceiling with one earbud in.

"T-thanks for doing this for me, I just don't want you to get eaten." Ben said

"Ben I wont get eaten I promise, I will be right here keeping watch. No dinosaur will come in with me on look out." I said confidently.

We listened to music while looking at each other. Slowly the music put the little ball of anxiety to sleep. I sat there on my back for about 30 minutes just staring at the ceiling and focusing on my breathing until Ben moved his head on my shoulder. I smiled and blushed intensely I stopped breathing since I didn't want to wake him up. Eventually I fell asleep.
