My Only Comfort (BEN X Jeff)

Missing Piece

BEN's P.O.V

This morning I was just doing my own things, witnessing the same arguments, same problems. Basically nothing changed around here, so just like every occasion I just slip in through the kitchen grabbing me some classic potato chips, and without a doubt I dashed off to my room. I'm surprised I didn't ran into any fights, the mansion is always loud and busy. Somehow today is different, but I try not to take much notice of it. Without further a do I just turned on my console, grabbing for my controller until I heard loud sobbing.

"Who could that be?" I said, putting my controller away, investigating where the sobbing is coming from. My first guess was Sally, but she's out with Lazari playing some hide and seek. Also there's no way Sally would sound so manly especially with that kind of manly sob! With my luck I just stood up and analyzed everything in my room to see if any of the others were hiding in my room playing a cruel joke on me.

"Why....?" The familiar voice says between loud sobs. I raised my eyebrows, half heartedly saying; "Jeff, is that you, dude?"

"....." No response. So I assumed it was Jeff, sense he never wants me to be catching him in one of his emotional moments.

How strange of him not to be his angry, sadistic, energetic, self anymore. I could've of known that something was up when Jane and Jeff weren't fighting each other.

Seconds before I now realized where his location was; he was huddled up in the corner of my room covered in blankets and other clothing of mine. Some of his messy, long, black hair is sticking out. His face was well hidden with the items, along with his body. I couldn't help but to snicker at him like that. Then I hear small growl coming from Jeff when he decides to stick his head out.

"Is something wrong?" I asked, grinning at him.

"Piss off!" He snarled, avoiding eye contact by looking the other way. That was the moment I realized he was actually crying. How come he came to my room and not expect me to be there? Does he want me to know that he's in pain or something? Am I supposed to comfort him in a way? Of course I was! What kind of friend would I be if I didn't?

Jeff's sobbing became silent, and he finally looked up at me. I offered him a smile, he looked like he was gonna pounce on me and slash my guts out. I could hear him cussing up a storm underneath his breath. I nervous scratched the back of my head, scared that he might actually attempt to murder me right here in my very own room.

I looked around my room quickly, and gave him a spare remote controller that I picked up from the ground that were a few inches away from my feet.

He looked dissatisfied at first, then he slowly gave in and grabbed the controller out of my hand and stood up. I smirked, sitting back over in my original spot in front of the screen. Jeff in the other hand decided to walk over, glaring down at me, saying; "Move over, pipsqueak!"

I chuckled to myself, scooting over just so Jeff can sit next to me without complaining. I placed in a two player game in the cartridge before Jeff groaned, nudging me with his foot, and finally sitting down next to me. Zalgo, I missed his fiery energy, he always makes everything interesting sense he was the spark to the whole world itself. Well, to me at least.

I can tell that we're gonna get along quite nicely.

"For once..."
