You and Ben pulled into the motel in the early hours of the morning. Ben made a snide comment about it being witching hour and to be careful as you made your way to the front desk. You rung the bell gently, a small 'tink tink' rung out from the small bell on the counter, a rather oversized lady came stumbling in from the back, muttering a half ass welcome as she slurped loudly on a soda she carried in her arm, and in her other she set down a greasy burger, and wiped her hands on some napkins that were sticking out of a door dash bag.

" Can I help you?" Her gruff voice asked, she sounded like she had been smoking since she was a baby. She looked you up and down, taking in your messy appearance. You had cleaned your face well of blood awhile ago, so you hoped you passed as a normal looking person at the moment.

" I-I uh, I need a room. Got any available?" You asked, suddenly feeling your mouth go dry. The lady let out a grunt as she turned, flicking through some papers before setting them down with a key.

" We gotta single queen size available. That'll do ya for a day?" She asked, raising a brow. I didn't want to argue, though the idea of sharing a bed with Ben was suddenly making you feel flustered. You quickly gave the woman your ID, passed her some cash for the room tonight, before taking the key and rushing out, cursing at the rain as it began to fall. You rushed over to your car to see Ben standing there, hands out stretched, palms up as he felt the small drops hit his skin. That's right, he hadn't been able to physically feel the weather for awhile, the realization eased your annoyance for a short bit, though it also meant you could make him take a shower now.  You smirked at the thought and jogged over to him, waving the keys.

" It's a single bed. All they had" you explained once you reached his side. He nodded slowly in response. " That's fine, let me help you bring things inside" he offered and you nodded, quickly making to work on grabbing your clothes bag and his, along with the electronics which he insisted on carrying. You watched him carry the bag protectively as you two made it to the room. You were sure that both your car and the room were locked tightly before you set the two bags down on the bed.

" Hey Ben, since water doesn't flow through you or hurt you now, you should take a shower" you declared, throwing him a change of pjs to change into. He rolled his eyes but didn't argue as he took to the shower first, giving you time to pull your laptop out to hook up to wifi , God knows you may not have gotten a signal from the little box tv in the corner, along with pulling out some pjs that Ben had packed up for you.

Out in front of you laid a pair of shorts and a button up shirt, they barely matched but that didn't matter all that much. You also pulled out some things for breakfast the next day.

~Ben's POV~

Words could describe the bliss I felt as the hot shower washed away the cool chill the rain brought me, most importantly, it was warming me up as well. It felt human. I feel human.

I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair, running the water and some soap through the locks before quickly getting onto washing my body. I had washed my face before, but it would always burn and hurt, so y/n would insist I use baby wipes to help keep clean though it wasn't the same. I broke out of my thoughts as I stepped out of the shower, brushed my teeth and got dressed.

I threw the towel over my shoulders as I exited, Y/n immediately placed their laptop in my arms, making me raise a brow. " Pick a movie?" They asked sweetly and I nodded slowly, watching them walk into the steamy room I just left. I cleared the bed, and placed the laptop on a few stacked books, I flicked through a few streaming services before settling.
