bal (mal and ben) oneshots [completed]

He Thought

Mal POV

I was sitting on the couch watching a sad movie about a couple who both happen to be sick and are slowly dying.

I know right? So uplifting.

So the guy ends up dying in the girls arms, and since the acting was so bad I was just sitting on the couch, Ben's head in my lap, with a straight face.

Ben was lightly snoring and he wasn't disturbed by the noise coming from the tv that was mounted onto the wall in front of us. His legs were stretched out to the left of me and his hands were under his head while on top of my lap.

He had just gotten home from a meeting and it was about 9 at night. He took a shower and changed into some gray sweatpants then went straight to the couch, and here we are now. Bryanna was inside of her room, also sleeping from a long day at school.

The girl on the TV holds her dead boyfriend in her arms and starts crying.

Really hard.

I thought the volume was too high since Ben was sleeping, so I reach for the remote that was to my right. I guess I wasn't quick enough 'cause Ben shot up from his sleep and looked around to realize his surroundings. I was just as confused as him.

I tilted my head and gave a look that said 'what's the matter', and after a few seconds of silence, and Ben observing my face, and then the TV, he answered while proceeding to lay back down on my lap.

"I thought you were crying." Ben said, his voice was raspy since he had just woken up.

At that moment my heart swelled. Ben will never know how much that moment meant to me.

A/N
I just thought this was a cute whisper and I didn't have any ideas. Sorry this was kinda short.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Hope you had a good Christmas/Hanukkah (wow I spelled that right)

Thanks for reading!
