Study Aches

Sasha had pulled you around the mall for hours before settling down for a coffee in the book shop per your request. You sat there for a moment, listening to her drone about her cute date, before she suddenly asked you a question. Catching you off guard.

" Hey Y/n, is Ben nice to you?"

This caught you off guard. " Uh, what brings this up?" You asked, sipping on your drink.

  "No reason, I just noticed sometimes you seem on edge about having to do things around him or because of him, I've also noticed that sometimes you have bruises on you, I've seen a few on your neck before, is he hurting you?" She asked worriedly. There it is. The real reason she asked you out.

You sighed. You knew this was going to happen. You had been thinking about what you were gonna say all day.

" Ben is.. bipolar. He gets really bad fits sometimes but he's getting better" it wasn't a complete lie. But you could've been more honest.

She frowned. " How bout I come over and see how he treats you myself" she proposed. You knew that rejecting would raise her suspicions. " I mean, you're supposed to go on a trip with him and- '

" It's okay Sasha no need to justify yourself. You're totally right" you smiled, and suddenly felt your headache aging on again. You ignored the itch of pain and quickly took your phone out. " I need to let Ben know we're coming over"

~Ben's POV ~

Just as I was placing a band aid over the cut on my head I heard the door down stairs open and their voices fill the air. I looked at myself, and took in a deep breath. Using my powers to change my appearance, I switched to looking more human.

My eyes were a baby blue, my hair was messy but clean, and most importantly my eyes didn't leak fluid, and my skin looked healthy. I fixed my bangs and turned, making my way downstairs to greet the two of them. They stood in the living room, removing jackets and setting bags down. Clearly my human was duped into spending money. I cleared my throat, announcing my presence.

" Hey, how was the play date?" I teased, coming down the stairs. Y/n turned to me, their smile faded into a worried look. " What happened to your forehead baby?"

Baby. I almost laughed at the pet name. They were trying too hard to make our fakeship seem like a real relationship.

" Oh your basement step broke while I was going down for the bags. I took a little tumble high key. I'll be okay though " I explained and they nodded. I came around to sit next to them on the couch, swinging my arm around to rest on their shoulders.

" So you two never did tell me how your day was" I stated glaring playfully. The human blushed and their friend rolled her eyes. " It was good. We found some pretty cute things. I was convinced to buy a few things too" Y/n replied, and silence fell again. I looked away from Sasha and bit my lip. I could tell she didn't like me. Like really didn't like me.

I cleared my throat. But she spoke up first. " Y/n said you two are going on a trip but didn't say what it was. What's all that about?" She asked sweetly, but I knew it was a demand.

  " Oh it's a business trip" I lied. " I do tech and programming on the side and sometimes I do some trading fixing. Like, ya know. Traveling out to people who can't leave their homes to fix their devices. Old people love me. Y/n offered to come with to give me company" I explained, I squeezed their shoulder gently, giving them a soft kiss on top their head. Hoping to god I was selling the whole boyfriend thing.

She stared at me for a moment, reading over my words for any type of indication of lying, her eyes reading my body language, looking for a slip up. " Well, you better make sure you update me and let me know of everything that's happening. If you don't call I will" she explained.
