"What ever happened to the young young lovers?" - Hayloft 2

As a year went by, Ben and Bianca had continued to act as they would normally for the most part. Ben wanted to be in a relationship, Bianca did too, but her apprehensive thoughts never allowed that to happen. Needless to say, the pair had always had some sort of tension between them, they had kissed more than once, but nothing ever came about it.

Ben recognised Biancas worrisome attitude to the subject of being in a relationship, so he had made the decision not to be persistent on the matter. But it was now clear to all the children in the house what had been going on between the two, especially to Klaus, as he had always teased them on the matter.

The two had their moments, where they were laying down with each other in the boys bed, or compliment each other. Ben had been very open about his true feelings, Bianca was very well aware that he had loved her, however, Bianca had never managed to say that to him. She had told him that she liked him, but she had never admitted the fact that deep down, she knew she loved him, with her whole heart.

She wanted to tell him, on multiple occasions, but she had never built up enough courage to speak the words aloud. Bianca knew she wanted to, knew she was going to tell him, and that she was going to do it soon. But what she didn't know, is that she would no longer have the chance to, in just a few hours, she would regret not telling him, she would live for that guilt the rest of her life. Due to four simple words, that she could have said a year ago so simply.
I love you Ben.

Today was a rather important mission for the children, as Reginald says. They had used up several months in order to plan it, due to the dear consequences it could have if failed. Bianca knew this mission would be harder than the ones she'd participated in before, so she made sure she was prepared for it, perfecting her 'uniform' and making sure that all of her hair was out of her way.

She could not afford to mess this up.

"Step lively children. We have a mission to do" Reginald called out as he walked down the hallway. The alarm began blaring, emitting a vivid red flashing light which made the siblings annoyingly aware that their mission was about to begin, ''Number One, round up the children''.

''Lets go. Get your asses in gear" Number one demanded, causing Bianca to roll her eyes in response, pressing her head further into Bens chest out of annoyance, wishing she could stay in the same position with the boy forever.

''My man, Diego''.

''My ass is always in gear'' Diego muttered whilst walking past Bens door.

The pair laughed at his comment, Bens chest rising and falling with laughter, Bianca's head bouncing with the action of it. She slapped the shoulder she wasn't laying on, silently scolding the boy for ruining the comfortable position she was in, her arms wrapped around his torso as her head rested comfortably on his chest.

Both Ben and Bianca had been laying in bed for a while now, Ben clearly not wanting to go on todays mission. He had expressed to Bianca how he was tired of running around being the heroes that everyone is expecting them to be, which Bianca sympathized with. As the two led in the boys bed, Vanya stood in the middle of the room, looking in the mirror, expecting to replace Ben on the mission, which they both had wished, Bianca was not too fond of the idea but accepted the boys wishes nonetheless.
