Love is not just a game (BEN x Male!reader)

Into the maddness we go.

After a week of serving a bunch of criminals coffee, I grew ill. I couldn't breath properly, I felt like I was gonna pass out all the time, my throat hurt like hell, and I keep getting dizzy like the world was spinning. I starter staying home foe a few days now, but I knew I was sick for about a month. At first I just had trouble breathing but I pushed it off for allergies. Then came the passing out feeling and I again pushed it off as allergies, I couldn't breath so I was to feel like I was gonna pass out. Then I pushed off the dizziness for the passing out and the sore throat as the draining that comes with allergies. But the truth was I knew I was sick from the beginning. But I don't like missing work. But I had to go home because I passed out on the job. If it wasn't for Kelly I probably stayed on the kitchen floor. So I stayed home and slept, felt like dying, wishing I was dead, having fever induced nightmares, cursing at life for me being sick, wishing I better, and playing the game. But I just feel bad for making Kelly worry about me.

(Flashback)

'Ugg... I don't feel so well but it's just allergies, nothing else.' I thought to myself, but I knew it wasn't just allergies "Kelly get your ASS in here! I need your help." 'Shit that didn't help anything.' "Coming (y/n). ... What do you need?" Really? did she really ask what I need? I'm working my ass off back here and she asked what I NEED. "Did you really just ask what I need? How about a little help? Or you could work back here and I work up front. I still need to get three orders out and I've got new orders for the past five minutes. You could have come and help me." I raged. Soon after I was done complaining I felt really dizzy. "Kelly... w-will you h-help me get to the ch-chair?... I d-don't feel so well." "(y/n) are you alright? You look like your about to pass out." As I was about to answer I felt myself slipping into the darkness. Just as darkness was about consumed me the last thing I heard was Kelly screaming my name.

(Time Skip)

"(y/n),(y/n) you there? Come on man wake up. You awake now (y/n)?" Kelly said trying to wake me. "W-what h-happened? Ugg why is it so bright?" I felt like absolute shit. The slightest sound sounded like thunder and the light was like looking at the sun. "Dude, you pass the fuck out. I ended up having to lock up early and taking you the hospital. When they were done they told me take you home. They told me to tell you to take the rest of the month off. Or it could get worse." Shit. "What about the unfinished orders? What happened to them?" "I told them to come tomorrow and I'd give them there order for free. So don't worry, okay." Well at least she did something. "Alright, fine. I'll take the rest of the month off. But you have to work the whole time I'm out. Understand?" If not then (y/l/n) is screwed. "I understand. It'll make up for the time I missed." Well at least she's being positive of me being sick. "(y/n)... you know I was really worried about you right? I didn't know if you were even going to be okay. Next time don't push it off. If you feel bad like you do now, just please, get yourself checked out alright?" Wow... I didn't know she cared so much. "Heh, alright, fine. I will. Thank for caring, means a lot."

(Present)

'At least I'm feeling a little better. And I was talking to Kelly and I payed her the proper amount to , after work, to bring me a hot chocolate with extra peppermint. She should be here any moment....' Bang bang bang "Looks like she's here." I went to open the door but it wasn't Kelly.
