"What is love?"[Benkei X Reader]

New Year Special

     It was Benkei's first time spending New Years with someone other than his friends. You all were watching the fireworks from a distance on an assortment of different picnic blankets. Good thing too, considering you all were a bit tipsy. "Oi, Beneki, pass me another will ya," Shinichiro slurred his words together.
     "Dude, no, you're drunk enough," Benkei laughed lightheartedly. "You're drunk too~," Shinichiro pouted. "Shin, just get it yourself, that's what I did," Wakasa interjected in the conversation. "But I don't wanna get uppp~." "It's freaking 5 INCHES away from you," Wakasa said, annoyed with Shinichiro's actions. "But y'know, Beniki, you're lucky." Shin stated. "How?" Benkei was confused by Shin's statement. "You got a girl. And, sorry if it's rude, you're not the most social person towards women." Benkei came up with a funny remark. "The power of Match," he then looked at Wakasa, who was grabbing another drink. "Bullshit. I've tried Match, Tinder, Eharmony, Snapchat, and every other tactic of dating there is, and I still have no biatches." His words slurring were so funny, no one could suppress their laughs. "Okay, can y'all just shut the fuck up. The 1-minute countdown is starting.
     1 minute until your make or break with Benkei. "Hey babe, can you come over here?" You asked him. "Ooo~, someone's calling." Benkei ignored Shin and walked over to you, "Sure, what is it bae?" For the new year, you're hoping that maybe you and Benkei would be able to get more comfortable in your relationship. You knew he never dated anyone before, but you wanted to move past the awkwardness. Sure there were the times of pecks on the cheeks, but they came mostly, if not only, from you. However, you can't blame him.

"Hey, can you promise me something next year," you started. "Of course, anything." It was nice having someone to give you this much attention.

"Promise me that you'll be more open in our relationship, not afraid to give hugs or such. You know, relax a little," you said this as a smile grew on your face.

"Well that's kind of a resolution I had too," he turned to face the show, but that didn't stop you from seeing the red blush appear on his face.

7
"You're just so natural at this, HOW?" He turned your way again.

Fireworks went off slowly one by one. The colors of gold, silver, and blue were lighting up the sky.

5
Your face had the colors of the fireworks illuminating your face so perfectly. If Benkei had his phone, he would have taken your picture right there.

4
You both got closer, even though both of your breaths smelled of beer. However, that doesn't matter now.

3
In the background, the rest of the group was too busy doing their own things. Takeomi being really the only one paying attention to the show.

2
Benkei and yourself were too busy looking at each other. Benkei was fixated on your eyes, that he didn't notice your gaze on his lips.

You went for the kill and made contact with Benkei's lips. Your arms wrapped around his neck. He got the memo quickly and wrapped his arms around your back. You enjoyed that his arms were quite muscular, making the hug fuller.
     When you broke the kiss, you noticed Benkei's face was full of surprise and blush. "OH SH-". Laughing was inevitable. Takeomi was wearing his new year drip which consisted of glasses that had the new year on it and a gold, black, and silver hat. He had his phone recording the show, but decided to record another phenomenon happening. "OMG, PLEASE TELL ME YOU WEREN'T RECORDING!" "No, I was recording these two." He motioned towards Shinichiro and Wakasa who were having a practical makeout session. "Bro, you guys can stop now," Takeomi interrupted. "We said "No homo" so it don't count," Shin explained. "Yeah," Wakasa started, "Now let's finish." "Nah, do that shit somewhere else."
