Tough Love ( Ben Drowned X Reader)

~Confession~

Your Pov~

I tugged on Ben's shirt so he could stay with me. I was having a nightmare and wanted to him be with me. But after all these weeks being here I started to develop feelings for Ben. Once he finally gave in on staying with me I was happy. After he got in the covers I scooted closer to him, since I was cold. My cheeks went fire red when he wrapped his arms around me. But I let my darkness put me to sleep.

~Hours Later~

I fluttered my eyes open to see and feel Ben's arm on my waist. I smiled with the feeling of safeness with Ben. I slowly shuffled around on my bed, when I felt Ben's grip get tighter and pulling me closer to him. I faced him only to see Ben not wearing his shirt, I felt my cheeks burn up. He's toned, muscular chest and body was just so amazing. I couldn't help but stare at his body, I was just drooling over his body.

Then my fox ears started to twitch by the sound of people talking. I stopped and listen into the people talking, and started to freak out. I heard Masky and Hoodie talking about trying to find and wondering where Ben was. I knew if they found out that Ben was in my room, in my bed with me, and shirtless I would be dead. I squirmed out of Ben's grasp, and jump up and tried to walk over Ben till he opened his eyes and chuckled.

I jumped off the bed and covered my eyes. I blushed behind my hands, so happy that I had my hands covering my face.

"What's wrong Midnight?" Ben asked, chuckling at me.

"You see.... You're shirtless, in my bed that's in my room and it's only me and you in here." I stuttered, blushing a ember red.

I heard Ben stretch and get off my bed, with all the noise he was making I thought he was going to have everyone come in. I still had my eyes covered with my fox tail wrapped around my waist when I heard his footsteps coming closer to me. I started to shiver in fear, thinking he would do something I didn't want to do.

"You know, you can look at my body all you want. I know for a fact that you were drooling over and staring at my body." Ben chuckled deeply, pulling my hands away from my eyes.

"H-how did you know I was staring at you?" I embarrassingly asked.

"I wasn't really asleep, I was watching you sleep until you started to wake up. So I act like I was." Ben said, grabbing my chin with his thumb and index finger.

"You look so cute when you blush." Ben smirked.

I lightly pushed him away from me so I could get some space. I crossed my arms and looked away from Ben. 

"Ben you should go before someone comes in and think that we had.... S-sex." I demand, but yet stuttered at the word sex.

All I heard from him was a chuckle then he said,

"Alright I'll go. And could you do me a favor?"

I nodded at him to continue on.

"Meet me in the backyard right after dinner. I have something to tell you." He said with seriousness in his voice.

I nodded in confusion, and off Ben went to do whatever. And there I was frozen on what just happened.  I shook my head and decided to get dressed before going down stairs. I grabbed a pair of black torn legging, red tank top and black combat boots. I walked in my bathroom and got dressed.

~After Getting Dressed~

I walked down stairs to see everyone down there, well there was no Ben. I saw Masky and Hoodie eating cheesecake, Jeff playing with Smile Dog, E.J and L.J arguing about which taste better candy or kidneys and Sally playing with Slenderman. Nobody noticed me yet, which was a good idea. I sneak past everyone and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

"Hmm... I may have to steal E.J's kidneys to satisfy my ghoul hunger." I thought loudly.

I looked behind me, left and right to make sure E.J wasn't near me. I opened the fridge and grabbed a jar of two kidneys. I quietly open the jar and reach in the jar, grabbing a red juicy, tender, sweet kidney. I bring the kidney up to my mouth and bit down, blood from the kidney oozed out. I slowly chewed on the kidney when I heard someone clear their throat behind me. I turned around to see E.J with his arm crossed and his foot tapping the floor.

"E.J.... I c-can explain!" I panicked, hiding the jar of kidneys behind me.

"Then explain." E.J demand.

"Well I was hungry... and I'm ghoul so I have to eat human and if I don't eat... I will die." I said, looking at the jar of kidneys.

"Well you could've just said so. I never really let anyone eat my kidneys but I guess I'll let you eat them as well." E.J calmly said, walking up to me and patting my shoulder.

"Thank you so much E.J! Really." I happily said biting into the kidney again.

"No problem, and does kidneys taste good?" E.J laughed.

"I prefer the eyeballs, but right now kidneys are the bomb." I giggled, finishing off the first kidney.

E.J just laughed and sat at the table and played with his scalpel. I quickly finished off the second kidney and washed up my face from all the blood. I sat beside E.J and talked to him, which went very well till Masky, Hoodie and Toby barged in our conversation. But then all of us started to chat when Slenderman said it was time to eat dinner.

"Wow I didn't know that we were talking for that long." I joked.

"Y-yeah, same h-here." Toby laughed between stutters.

"Well I h-had f-fun talking to you M-Midnight." Hoodie shyly said, patting my back.

"We better go and eat before Slender has a cow." E.J joked, elbowing Masky's arm.

And off we went to eat dinner. And I walked in with a big smile on my face, from having fun with the people around me.

~After Eating Dinner~

"Thank you so much Slenderman. It was very good." I thanked.

"Just call me Slendy, and you're welcome my dark child." Slendy said.

I just finished up cleaning the dishes with Slender, since after all he was trying to make this home for me. I know he's trying to make up for my parents death, and I'm very thankful for that. I dried my hands when I remembered that I had to meet Ben out in the backyard. I picked up my pace and headed for the backdoor. 

I got to the door and opened it, only to see a trail of blue and green roses. I looked to my left and right to see if these were already here, but I didn't see anyone. I followed the trail, when I saw Ben standing in front of me holding blue and green roses in his hands.

"Ben what's going on?" I asked.

"Midnight... You've been here for awhile, and I wanted to tell you is that.... I've developed feeling for you." Ben said, blushing at every word he said.

"Ben..." 

"So Midnight, what I'm trying to say is that... I love you and will you be my girlfriend?" Ben sternly said.

"Ben I..."
