Strange Beginnings - Ben Hargreeves x female reader TUA (On going)

pocket full of lightning pt. 4

I decided to continue my walk around town because I had nothing better to do other than stay at the hotel.

I walked for a few more minutes when I came across a book shop. I walked in, and I was greeted by a kind lady. "Hi, welcome. Are you looking for anything specific today?" She asked putting down a book walking towards me.

"Oh, no. Just looking around." I smiled at her.

"Okay. Well if you need anything you can come over and ask me." She said politely grabbing more books.

I walked into the fantasy and adventure aisle because that's my favorite genre in books, when I came across this one book.

"The Alchemist..?" I questioned myself, grabbing the book off the shelf looking at it.

"It looks so familiar..."

Flashback

I got out of my bed and put on my slippers to go to Ben's room.

"Knock, knockk" I sung slightly opening the door.

"Come in." I opened the door seeing Ben sit up from his bed.

"Okay, what do you want." He asked as I walked in.

"Well, dad let me off early today because I did pretty good. And I'm bored and got nothing to do." I said leaning on his desk.

"Okay. Well I'm not bored." Ben said grinning and laying back down.

"But I am." I groaned as I sat next to his legs.

"I don't care." He said opening up his book.

"Ugh.." I sighed.

"Fine. For your information, I just started reading a book called 'The Alchemist'." He said with a slight smile.

"Can I read it with you?" I asked.

"Sure.. I mean, if you really want to." He said smiling. "Of course I'd want to Benny. I love reading with you." I said as I laid down next to him as we cuddled reading the book together.

End of flashback.

I chuckled looking at the book, then walking over to the couch opening it up to read it.

[Luther's pov]

"Hey." I said walking over to wear Diego was. "Hm."

"This whole, uh, Viktor thing." I stated. "Yeah?" He asked placing down some random item.

"Well, it's a pretty bug deal, right?" I shrugged. "I guess, for him. It's whatever." I followed Diego.

"Well, should we say something?" I asked.

"You know? I mean, make a formal gesture? Welcome him as brothers."

"God, no. Just roll with it, man. Don't say anything, and don't be weird." Diego said.

"Okay. But not saying something feels weird, right? I mean... Shouldn't we, I don't know.. Mark the occasion somehow?" I asked sounding totally crazy.

"Yiu just wanna throw a party." Diego stopped and looked at me.

"Hey, what's up?" Viktor said catching me off guard.

"Luther wants to throw you a big, stupid party so you feel loved." Diego blurted which made me chuckle nervously.

"Oh." Viktor smiled.

"Do you feel loved?" Diego asked. "Yeah, I... I do." Viktor said which made me smile even more.
