Silent (Pico x Boyfriend | Soft Mod)

Prologue

Moving.

Always an intimidating, yet exciting idea.

Benjamin had moved so many times that this exciting feeling had become quite normalized. Though, moving anywhere with his parents around was never the greatest feeling.

The family had moved to Center City, Philadelphia, for a big concert that was being held. It had only the most popular musicians and Ben's parents had been invited to perform.

"Ohhh, This is so exciting! Isn't it Benjamin?"

Ben's mother, Marilyn spoke, turning her head to her son. He looked to her silently and nodded. Marilyn shot him a dirty glance and looked forwards again.

"This not speaking to your parents thing has gotten a bit tiring, Darling."

The venom within Mrs. Merriest's voice was very apparent, and caused a shiver to go up Ben's spine. He only looked down and fiddled with his fingers.

After a few hours of driving to their new home, the car stopped. Ben knew he would need to speak to his parents at some point, but every time he tried to speak anymore nothing would ever come out. So he just gave up. But both his parents took this as a sign of rebellion and punished him for it.

He stepped out of the car and walked to the trunk, opening it and pulling out a backpack with his clothing and other important items. The family walked towards their new home and as soon as the door opened, Benjamin set of to find his new bedroom.

It was moderately sized and very empty. But that would change very soon. Ben smiled and set to work, planning what his room would look like on a free piece of sketchbook paper he had in his bag.

By the time he opened his eyes again, it had seemed as if the room was brighter. He had fallen asleep on his paper and woken up with his mouth wide open and a pool of drool forming below him. He hummed in tiredness pulled his phone out of his bag, checking the time.

It was 8:15.

He was late.

Benjamin frantically threw his phone on the floor and looked around for his school bag, but soon realized his parents had yet to sign him into a school... that is until his door burst opened, his father at the entrance. He squeaked quietly.

"Benjamin, there you are, we just registered you for a school nearby. I'm sure you could walk there and get yourself comfortable."

Benjamin freaked out again. He didn't even get to buy his supplies or set up his own elective plans or anything! Frank watched his son for a second before slamming the door and walking off so where else, leaving Ben to his own devices.

His first day in his new home and he was already late for school! What else could go wrong? Ben set up as quickly as he could before running out the door and trying to find his way. He wasn't even told the directions to his school...

By the time he had gotten there, he was completely out of breath and his stomach grumbled in hunger. But he sucked it up and pushed opened the doors to his new school. He looked around. Everything had a sort of fanciness he wouldn't have expected of a city. But as he was walking around, not looking in front of him, he crashed into someone in front of him.

"Hey watch where you're go...ing."

A voice said. Benjamin had fallen to the floor and looked up, terrified. What he going to get bullied? After this overwhelming morning?! The guy in front of him only stared blankly at Benjamin, and an awkward silence took over...
