Falling - Benny and Nina - An Adapted In The Heights Roleplay (COMPLETE)

69 - Falling Meal Out

Benny took her hand again as they walked out. "Okay, so we need to get the train into the city to 42nd. Then we can go from there."

"Okay," Nina said and laid her head on his arm.

Benny smiled as he looked down at her. He felt so lucky to have her in his life. She was absolutely perfect in every way, even if she couldn't see it, she was perfect to him. They walked to 181st street station, Benny brought their tickets and then they waited in the platform for their train.

As they waited for their train, Nina went in front of Benny, hugged him, and nuzzled her head into his chest. "I love you," she said, muffling it with his shirt.

"I love you too gorgeous." He held one hand on her head and one on her back. He kissed the top of her head as he smiled.

She just stood there like that until the train arrived.

As the train pulled in Benny leant over kissed her on the lips and took her hand again as they got on the train. Thankfully they were only the fourth stop so far so there were plenty of spaces for them to sit down together. They sat in the first seats they found which was right by the door, so it would be easy for them to get off. Once seated he put his arm around her shoulder, taking ahold of her right hand as best as he could with her cast.

Nina took her mostly immobilized fingers and wrapped them around Benny's hand as best as she could. She leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes, calmed by the rattling train.

Benny smiled wider as Nina rested on his shoulder. He wanted to close his eyes but was too scared he'd fall asleep and miss their stop. He rarely got the train into the city, so didn't really know where he was going. Every stop he marked off on his phone, so he knew how far they had left.

Nina breathed deeply, making sure that she didn't fall asleep. Every stop, her breath shortened because she was scared of missing their stop, but she then calmed down, knowing that Benny was with her and knew where the stop was.

When they got to 50th street he put his hand on her knee. "Baby, we need to get off at the next stop, so I suggest we get out of our seats and stand by the door ready to get off."

"Oh okay." She got up and held onto one of the poles nearest to the door of their compartment.

Benny put his hand around her waist keeping her close in the now crowded compartment. When the train stopped he waited for the doors to open. He and Nina walked out and headed up the escalator into New York City's Times Square. "I've been here for 14 years and I've never seen Times Square. This is amazing." He said as they reached the open air.

"I've only been here once, when I was going to Stanford," Nina said. "I never got to enjoy the beauty of it, but it sure is amazing." Though she was in awe of her surroundings, there were, per usual, large crowds. They were a trigger of her anxiety, but she didn't show it, but instead kept herself calm and composed.

Benny kept her close, it reassured him, holding her close. "I think the restaurant is just down here." He pointed down 7th avenue towards 46th street.

"Okay." She smoothed out her hair with her right hand, but as it became more frizzy with the heat, it became uncontrollable. She glared at the little frizzed pieces of hair flying in front of her face.

Benny giggled as she fussed with her hair. "You having fun their baby." He said as he brushed some of the stray hairs behind her ear.

She crossed her arms and pouted for a brief few seconds and then glared at Benny.

Nina's glare didn't scare him. Instead he wrapped his arms around her neck and kissed her.

She rolled her eyes and kissed him back once, giggling.
