What are you doing, stepbro? Ben Solo x Reader

Chapter 28

You look up at Ben, who's sitting across from you at the table of the small cafe in the next town over.

"I feel like you're having an affair with me, or something."

He just sighs. "Eat your food."

You look up at the ceiling, there's brown water stains and the tile beneath your feet is cracked.

"This place is kinda busted." You whisper, taking a bite of your food.

"I think you fit in here."

Your jaw drops and you have no words.

"I'm joking. There's an aviation museum nearby. Wanna go?"

"Wow." You say sarcastically, "that sounds so interesting I can't wait!"

He just sits back in his chair with a smirk, and sips his coffee.

The aviation museum is boring. You don't know anything about planes and you don't really care to. Ben holds your hand as you walk.

"Are you trying to take me on the most boring date ever?"

"Who says it's a date?"

The gall!

You nudge him with your shoulder. "Fuck off."

"Here. Come with me." He says, holding your hand again despite your trepidation.

He takes you down a hallway and you look to find old pilots outfits on display.

"I thought you'd think this was," he pauses, "slay."

(A/N GIRL I-)

"You sound like a boomer when you say slay."

"Thanks." He replies.

You can't deny they are kind of cool and some are definitely serving c*nt.

(A/N c u next Tuesday is a curse word I will NEVER say)

You're tired when you walk out of the museum into the chilly winter air. "What next?"

"I was gonna drive you home."

You cross your arms and roll your eyes. "Are you ever going to have me over to your place?"

He looks to the side and runs a hand through his hair nervously. "Not yet."

"Why not yet?"

He sighs. "There's a slight problem."

"What problem?"

"A rodent problem."

"Well, is it still infested?"

"No," he says, "I'm trying to fix it up. They got pretty comfortable there."

"We talking Tom and Jerry? Lil house in the walls?"

"A bit more than that."

"You're being so vague."

"Just a bunch of holes in the walls. I already replaced the flooring and renovated the kitchen."

"Let me fill the holes," you say, "you've filled mine plenty."

"Jesus, what is wrong with you?"

"I'm offering free labour here, Benjamin."

"My name isn't Benjamin." He replies unenthusiastically.

"I will keep calling you that until you let me come over, Benjamin."

"Fine."
