~Bens POV~

" Best friends huh?" I asked, they opened the door slowly, leaning against the other side of the frame as they set the book in-between the door way.

They nodded quickly, wiping their face with a wipe, cleaning up any mess from the ritual I performed from their face. " Yes we met when we were in preschool. His mom was always sweet but his father... He gave me the creeps. After 7th grade they moved away though. I tried to keep in contact but eventually he stopped responding to my letters when we were like, 17 I think. God that was so long ago. "

A small smile went across their lips. Fuck their lips.

I used my powers to turn myself to my human form again, I had dropped it to regain energy again. " Y/n, look at me. Do I look familiar to you now?" I asked. They stared at me and then at the boy in the photos.

Their eyes widened, and filled with tears. " Oh my God... Ben I had no idea I" they paused and put a Shakey hand on my cheek. I frowned and leaned into their touch. " I didn't ether til I found the book myself, I guess you really do discover brand new things about yourself every day, right?" I chuckled to myself, looking down at the photos of a happy boy. Something I definitely wasn't.

They suddenly pulled me into a hug " I'm sorry I never came to see you on your 15th birthday. I really wanted to but I wasn't allowed" they whimpered and I wrapped my arms around them.

" It's okay. I barely remember it anyway. I'm just glad you didn't get mixed up. That's probably why I ended up with Alex anyway. Our paths were made to cross" I explained, patting their soft hair.

" Reunited after death... So cruel. You were supposed to graduate and move to Colorado with me. Or Canada, you promised either. And you also said that, if neither of us are married by time we're 30 we'll marry each other. I'm going to give that cult what they got coming to em. Before we leave I'm buying a gun"

You declared, looking at me with tearful eyes. Your hands didn't leave my cheeks for a moment, before pulling away to clean their face. Though I was still caught up by their words.

" I.. promised those things" I muttered, imagining a future chance wedding that would've happened. I felt my face redden. They giggled and nodded. " Yea like, 4th grade but it was a pinky promise, it didn't really mean much. We were kids of course" they explained, holding their pinkie up and hooking it with mine. I stared at it in disbelief. Not really too sure how to feel.

I was silent, for too long apparently as they began waving their hand in front of my face. " Hellooo earth to Ben. Did I break you? " They asked. I blinked and shook my head.

" It's just a lot to take in. I been living this whole time thinking we're strangers" I explained. " I had no idea I knew you before, or that we had plans for each other... Why didn't I recognize you, or Alex?" I was rambling at this point. Wondering things out loud. They sat and listened to me til I finally stopped, I didn't realize it but I had released my human form and I was back to looking like Link.

" Well, maybe you didn't recognize me, because the cult erased your memories? Or maybe it was all too painful for you to remember. So you pushed it back yourself, but I don't blame you for not knowing Alex. You never really got to meet him, he was always too busy playing donkey Kong to mind us when you came over for Zelda nights" they suggested and I shrugged, fuzzy memories faded in and out, as I tried to remember them.

" What do you remember? Please tell me everything"

Time passed as the human happily shared their childhood memories of me. Of water fights during the summer and the time I even took them to a dance after their ex boyfriend stood them up for another girl. And how I gave him a good punch to the face when he tried to get angry at you for going with me. The idea made me chuckle. I could already see the memory in my brain. " Your dress, it was green wasn't it?" I asked, setting a bag into the back seat of their car, and they nodded, grinning.
