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

WATEOTW pt.2

[Y/n pov]

"Ben can we go?" I asked leaning over to him. "I really don't want to be dealing with this shit right now." I said laughing.

"Yeah, yeah. In a bit." He said in response just watching Dad and Klaus walk away.

To be honest, this is the happiest I've seen Dad in a while.. And when I say while, I mean a hella long time. And I do enjoy the fact that Klaus is spending time with Dad, and the fact that Sloane and Luther are getting married.

And almost everybody is happy with their life.. But I feel bad for Ben. It seems like he doesn't get ad much love as the others. That's probably why he tries so hard to make Dad happy. But the question is.... Is he happy?

"Y/n.." Ben said. "Y/n." He repeated. "Y/n!" He shouted close to me, waving his hands infront of my eyes.

"Huh, yeah?" I asked confused ad I got out of my day dream. "Let's go." He said and grabbed my arm.

"Why do you seem so pissed?" I asked as we walked away. "None of your business.. let's just go okay?" He said and sighed deeply.

Something is definitely off. And I want to find out what.

We got to his room and I sat down. "Benny are you sure you're okay?" I asked again.

"Yes, Y/n. Now stop asking me that stupid question." He said, aggressively looking through a drawer.

I just sat there looking at his actions.. Why is he so mad? Why won't he open up to anyone? Why does he keep to himself so much...?

"Ben..?" I asked quietly. "Let's go." He said and grabbed a hold of my arm. "I- okay..."

~~~

"Oh my lord, is that Five I hear singing?" I said walking towards the edge.

"Oh yeah Five!" I shouted out from the balcony. "I'm here too Y/n!" Klaus said. "Woo!" I shouted.

"Oh, all of you! Woah!" I shouted out.

"Y/n I'm gonna go." Ben said and gave me a small hug. "Bye bye!" I smiled.

I grabbed a random drink from the bar downstairs and sat down until they were done.

"Ugh, what to do now.." I sighed. "Dang, I'm all alone. I'll just go find Ben I guess." I jumped up.

"Hey Sloane, have you seen Benny?" I said holding my drink. At this point I was pretty boozed so I was a bit dizzy.

"Y/n..?" Ben asked walking out of a door.

"There you are." I said walking towards him and plopped myself on him.

"Oh..." He said while holding me in his arms.

"I'm tired.." I said blinking my eyes to help me stay up.

"Oh my.. Okay." He sighed.

"Okay, well put this down.." He said and snatched the glass away from me and placed it on the floor and dragged me to the room.

"Okay, you take a nap. I'll pick out our clothes and when you wake up change into them okay?" He said and placed me down on the bed.

"Wait..." I said trying to get up. "Down..." He said and placed me back down.

[Ben pov]

I placed Y/n down on the bed gently and laid there with her until she fell asleep. After she did, I picked out our outfits like I planned, and I washed my face and redid my hair because it was a mess.

After that, I just sat there and waited for Y/n to wake up so we could go.

In the middle of her rest I heard her mumble my name. I thought nothing of it because she did tell me that she mumbles in her sleep so much.
