Ben sat down with Y/N and crossed his arms. He decided he'd allow his opponent to go first. Y/N began speaking about the nonsensical hate that Jewish people are having to relive every day after the Holocaust. They were still constantly blamed for all the wrongdoings in the world: things that Ben had, not even himself imagined. He had to agree though, as he himself stood for Jewish rights. He rubbed his chin at his guest's words.
"And that's what I really wanted to talk about with you, Mr. Shapiro. I wanted to see if there was anything I got wrong regarding your religion and culture, and how it is shamed by those who are closed minded," Y/N grinned cunningly as he/she looked into Ben's critical eyes.
"No, Y/N, none of that is incorrect. I really appreciate your factual knowledge about this subject. As a Jewish man myself, I'm grateful." Ben sighed in awe as he took a short sip of water from his half-empty cup. He felt empowered after talking to Y/N, wanted to see if they wanted to join him for lunch after the event, but what would Mor think? What about his children? Would he really be able to put all of that on the line?
He stumbled upwards, almost falling out of his chair, to reach for Y/N's hand. He shook it and hesitated to ask. "Y-Y/N?"
"Yes, Mr. Shapiro?"
"You can call me Ben now...But, uhm..Would you like to get dinner with me after all of this? Maybe keep discussing what you said?"
Y/N's face lit up with joy. They nodded in excitement and leapt out the door which Ben closed behind them.
"What am I going to do?"
