STRANGE [ben chilwell]

Ben and Sofia had decided to move in with each as soon as possible but because they had apartments they had to wait for approval for what they had decided to do.

Even though they owned their own apartments and they were rented, they still needed to contact the landlord, as some were rented, and make sure that it was ok.

It had took a few days of thinking on his behalf but he had ultimately decided to let them do what they wanted as it would increase the worth and it also wouldn't affect him.

Instead of deciding who's apartment to move into they wanted to knock the middle wall down so that it would become one, open plan apartment.

Today they were moving things out of the way of the wall so that when they knocked it down, nothing gets damaged or in the way.

"I can't wait until I can wake up everyday and your next to me." Ben says as they lie in his bed since they had just woken up.

"You do that anyways." Sofia laughs as she moves to look up at Ben from her position on his chest.

"I know but you know what I mean, waking up in our apartment not yours or mine." He kisses her on the forehead before she gets up but Ben complains.

"I need the toilet." She giggles as Ben sighs and throws his head back from the lack of warmth he now has.

"Are you done yet?" Ben says as the head becomes cold again but it had only been a matter of seconds.

"Give me a minute." She laughs and when she walks back into his room, she sees Ben staring at the door waiting for her and when he sees her the biggest smile appears on his face.

"Thank god." He opens the covers and Sofia gets in her previous position, laying between his legs and resting in his chest.

After laying there for awhile they decided to get up and get ready.

They both throw on some rough clothes that they don't mind getting rubble or dust on them.

"Are you ready?"

"Yep." They both smirked before hitting the wall for the first time.

The beginning of their next step together.

—————

Ben and Sofia had decided to go out for lunch after they knocked some of the wall down and cleaned the floor which had rubble on.

They had gone to a little restaurant in the town centre. It wasn't dressy so what they were wearing was appropriate.

Sofia threw on Bens hoodie and a pair of leggings whilst Ben stayed in this tracksuit that he was wearing before as he had managed to get nothing on him and everything on Sofia. 

"I have a crazy idea." Ben said randomly and out of the blue whilst they were leaving the restaurant.

"Which is?" Sofia is very cautious as Ben isn't really a person of spontaneity so when he does it's definitely crazy.

"Let's get matching tattoos. I know a place round the corner." Sofia stops in her tracks but starting to smirk.

"That sounds so dodgy but ok sure." She laughs as Ben leads the way to the tattoo parlour whilst pushing Bambi's pram.

Ben wasn't lying when he said it was round the corner because I after a few minutes of walking they were outside the door.

When they walk in the tattooist immediately recognises Ben and gets up to welcome him.

"Chilly! My man!" They hug each other before Ben introduces him to Sofia and Bambi.

"This is my girl, Sofia." She whispers an awkward hi before Ben chuckles and moves on. "And this is our daughter, Bambi."

Sofia got literal chills (the good kind) when he said 'our daughter' instead of 'her daughter'.

"What are you getting today?" They sat down in their chairs before Ben explained what they wanted. "Oooh nice, I like it. Let's get it done."

Ben got tattooed by his normal person whilst Sofia got his colleague as they wanted to be done at the same time.

They sat in chair next to each other and held hands as this was her first tattoo so she didn't know how painful it would be.

They had decided on their lower inner leg, just above their ankle.

"3...2...1..." They counted down and as soon as the needle hit Sofias skin, she screamed out in pain which made everyone laugh.

This was normal for Ben and also the tattooists as they were your stereotypical tattooists.

Lots of piercings and lots of tattoos.

After sitting their for about half an hour, they were finally done.

"Thank the gods." She laughed as she shock her numb foot awake and checked on Bambi who was still sleeping in her pram between the couple.

"You like them?" They both looked down at them and instantly smiled at them.

Sofia had a heart with the initials 'BC' in it and Ben got same but the initials 'SB' on them.

"What if we get married? They won't be my initials." And in that moment everyone started to laugh.

"Oh well."
