Ben's Heart

Goodmorning

Waking up.

One thing I was afraid of.

I was laying down, my eyes closed, thinking how to wake up.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Ben making breakfast.

"Goodmorning, Sunshine!" He said to me.

"Mornin." I said, gurgling my words.

"Sleep well?" He asked, smiling.

"Yup."

He came up to me in his boxers, and a t-shirt.

"Excuse my pajamas." Laughing, he gave me a kiss on the forehead.

"Ready to eat?"

I stood up and started to walk toward the kitchen.

"Let's eat!" I said, grabbing a plate.

"Ok, well we got bacon, eggs, pancakes-"

I set the plate down on the counter and walked over to him.

I gave him a huge hug.

"What's this for?" He asked me. He was hugging me right back.

I stopped hugging him, and looked up into his eyes.

"For being different."

"Huh?" He asked. He obviously thought I was going stupid.

"For not being what everybody says you are. For being the most caring, loving guy in the world."

We began hugging again.

"If this is for making you breakfast, I was hungry too." He laughed and gave me another kiss on the head.

"Soph, you're welcome. You're a sweet girl. Why would I not be sweet back?"

From there, we stopped hugging, I picked up my plate, got some food, and dug in.
