"I'm still mad at you." Ariya said.

"Understood."

"Like really, very mad." Ariya stated yet again.

"Fuming with rage, got it."

"You still need to be forgiven." She spoke again.

"Do you wanna do this or not?"

Ariya chuckled, "yes." as she answered as Ben leaned in for a kiss.

Lila was right, she would go shag Ben eventually. Ariya knew it too, but she didn't realise it would be today. She thought she would go on with the silent treatment at least for a few more days, but guess that didn't work.

She missed him. Even if she was too thick in the head to admit it.

And she also has no self control. Clearly.

Now, it was nine in the morning, thankfully one of the days she doesn't have to log in until 12. It was all calm, until... Ariya ran off.

Ran off.

Super sped off.

And she couldn't stop, it was like she had no off switch in her brain telling her to stop.

She was probably faster than she ever was.

When she eventually stopped, it was because she ran into a pillar, almost phasing through it.

A loud groan left her body as she laid on the ground.

It took Ben roughly a minute and a half to finally find her. She was in the backyard.

"Are you okay?" He asked, he looked very pale, and the bags under his eyes very clearly visible, he looked disgustingly sick.

Ariya expected to be in pain. But she wasn't. She felt the need to vomit though, but the crash wasn't the reason for that, she was sure. "What did you do?" She asked as she tried to wake herself up.

Ben looked down where Ariya laid, who hadn't bothered to get up yet, "what are you talking about?" He asked.

"You did some-- Ugh!" Before Ariya could finish her sentence Ariya ran towards the nearest washroom, which was surpringly cleaner than the rest of the house.

It took Ben another minute to find her again, he quickly got her hair away from her face as she puked everything out.

He handed her a glass of water when she was done.

And when she was done, it was his turn to puke. "Flush properly before puking!" Ariya shouted.

He complied before puking his guts out.

"You spiked our sake with marigold didn't you?" She finally asked, as he sat down next to her.

"Would you be mad if I did?"

Ariya shrugged, "I don't know yet."

"I did do it." Ben admitted, he realised he had to be honest.

She chuckled as she handed him more water, "they're gonna be so mad." She told him.

"Don't care about them, are you mad?" He asked.

"I don't think I am. I feel great. Well I feel like I'm going to throw up again, but I feel great, like the times I did when I had my powers. And I just feel and I healed, how great is that?"

She laid on the floor, Ben grimacing, "You know the floor is disgusting, right?"

"Don't ruin the moment, dickhead."

"Not you too!"

Well turns out, everyone was smart enough to connect the dots and come to Ben.
