seven.

i widened my eyes, "ben! gosh, calm your ham, keep your dick in your pants."

"oh but y/n, i don't want it to."

i pulled my hand from his grasp and rolled my eyes, disgusted. i walked into the kitchen and began making myself some tea.

"i just don't know why boys do that! act all cocky and immature and try to get into other people's pants! it's annoying and rude!"

ben began walking out of the living room, "not all boys are like that."

i rolled my eyes again, finishing my tea and this time making myself a sandwich.

"that's what they all say. stop trying to show everyone your dick and try to be courteous, no one likes an asshole!"

ben entered the kitchen.

"i don't try and act like an asshole."

"i never said you in particular, just boys in general! it sickens me to be honest! if i was ever in a relationship i'd want to take it slow-"

ben was advancing toward me now.

"- i'd want it sweet, i'd like a bit of humour and sarcasm, i'd like cuddling-"

he was almost there, i took a bite from my sandwich.

"and for god's sake! i want cute blonde hair i can mess with! i want pretty green eyes i can stare at! i want a round face i can squish! i want-"

i turned around, ben was right in front of me, he leaned down, his hands on either side of me, resting against the counter.

"you want.. me, y/n?"

i stared up at him, "i.. what? no, that's not what i meant. i-i said that accidentally i-i—"

"you're cute when you stutter. y/n, i promise, i can be all those things, i can cuddle you, and let you mess my hair and i'm funny! please y/n, give me a chance."

a small smile etched on my lips, "oh ben, you're sweet, but i don't believe you."

a dumfounded expression formed on his face, "w-what?"

"you don't mean those things, i know you, from what i've gathered. don't make it harder on yourself ben, just.. give up. "

"y-y/n.. what?.. no.. please. i'm not lying.."

"please, ben. you're just looking for a quick fuck."

i pushed him away from me and began walking to my room, ignoring my fresh tea and sandwich.

ben looked on with tears in his pretty eyes, "i can prove myself to you, y/n! just wait!"
