Whatever...

~Revonnah harvest~

~Tennyson x Rook Shar~

Rook Blonko was quite well known in Revonnah for his good looks. Ben Tennyson was not able to claim the same when he visited the home of his partner, seeing as most of the females saw him as a furless freak who was somehow famous for a watch. Keyword, most, as one female Revonnahgander found Ben to be quite attractive, even if he wasn't native to their planet.

This woman was plumber Cadet Rook Shar, whom Ben had signed to give her a better chance to join. He had just given in to his partners request, seeing as Blonko hardly ever gave up when asking Ben for something. It was the same as how he had ended up on Revonnah today, Rook asking to no end for Ben to come along. He did, eventually.

"So.. harvest time again, huh?" Ben asked as he looked around. He hadn't been looking forward to coming back, though getting to hand out with Rook Ben was a bonus, as the young Revonnahgander was always friendly and happy to see Ben.

Rook gave Ben a small look of confusion. "Yes, Ben. Harvest time comes every year, just as it does on Earth. There is never a year that the harvest does not go on." Rook said, not noting that Ben was pulling his hoodie up and sulking as they walked.

Ben noticed Rook's home was close, walking a bit faster. He then tripped, falling straight down in front of Blonko's sister, Shar. She giggled as she looked down at him, offering her hand which he took after a moment.

"I am sorry for laughing, Ben, but it is always so hilarious when I get to see humans fall. You always flail your arms and look so cute." Shar said as she pulled him up, her attention then turning to her brother. "Blonko! You are home!" She yelled, running to her brother to tackle him in a hug.

Ben, looking over at the two, pondered her words for a moment before forgetting about it, walking towards the Room household. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a tiny Revonnahgander running at him, nearly being tackled to the ground from the force of Rook Ben's hug.

"Alright, alright, calm down, twerp.." Nega wrapped his arms around the smaller Ben, before setting him down. "Weird to see you without your B'inthak."

"I am happy that it is gone! I am officially a man!" Rook Ben grinned as his siblings walked to them, Nega pulling up his hood to avoid Rook Shars attention. Blonko, paying no mind, walked inside of his house to greet his father and mother, Da and Bralla.

"Hey, Ben.. I was wondering if you would like to come with me to the harvest festival? Rayona is going with Blonko, so I thought maybe we could go with them." At this, Ben gulped. Another double date with another girl?

"What if Took disapproves of our being together? He has stated before that his siblings were strictly not to be touched by me.." It was Shars turn to react negatively, angered that her brother would try to control her love life.

"Ben, that is just giving a better reason for you to take me." She smiled, turning when her mother called her. "Coming, mother! Ben.. please think about it, would you?" With that, she ran off to leave Ben to his thoughts.

"What's the worst that could happen..." Ben mumbled, standing up and shoving his hands in his hoodie pockets, walking away from Rooks home and towards a field to let himself stay alone for a while.

After a few hours, he heard his name being called by Rook Shar, running back to meet her. He looked her up and down, noticing that she was wearing a beautiful blue dress that went down to her thighs. "Y-you look.. good." He stammered as he looked at her. She just giggled as he took her hand silently.

"You look.. I do not think clothing should define your appearance. You look good as well." She brushed some hair from his eyes, revealing a scar over his left eye. He brushed his hair back quickly, looking down.

"Thanks. Let's just enjoy the festival, yeah?" He asked, not waiting for an answer. Seeing Blonko and Rayona, Shar pulled Ben their way. Blonko didn't say a word, Rayona greeting them happily.

"I see you two are courting now, am I correct?" Rayona asked as she looked at Shar's dress. Shar nodded while Ben shook his head.

"She just asked me to come to the harvest." Rayona giggled as she watched the two, Blonko clearly none too pleased by the encounter.

"I think I saw a few muroids. I may require your help, Ben." He grabbed his partner, pulling him towards the supposed Muroids.

"I know what it looks like, dude, but I swear I'm not dating your sis-" Rook held up his hand to shut Ben up.

"I do not wish to hear it." Blonko sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "If you hurt Rook Shar in any way, you will personally answer to me, Ben. Do we have an understanding?" Ben was going to say something, but chose instead to shut up and nod. "Good."

After returning to their girlfriends, Ben wrapped his hand in Shar's, smiling a little. Rayona grinned and looked up at her boyfriend expectantly, who kissed her. Ben did the same to Shar, and the competition for who could be more loving had begun.

After a few hours of kissing, hugging, holding hands, and a few more adult activities, Ben sat on the edge of Rook Shar's bed. Her arms were wrapped around his waist, holding him close. "What is wrong, Ben?"

Ben sighed, looking over at her. One hand was covering the scars on his other wrist, but Shar had already noticed them.

"I have the feeling those are not from your enemies." Shar noted, sitting up beside him. The only thing covering her body was her sheets, which she now tried to share with Ben.

"After Kai died, I got worse. I always knew I had depression, but when she took the hit for me, she didn't get back up. Should have let me die instead.. she would have gotten help. She was smarter than me. Guess she knew what she was doing, but I didn't know what to do without her. When Blonko found out, he was angry. After I got a lecture, we tore the thing that killed Kai apart. Now... I still do it, occasionally." Ben let out a shaky breath, Shar wrapping her arms around his chest.

"No wonder Rook Blonko allowed us to be together. I am very sorry, Ben. I will do my best to help you with your depression, but I am not the only one who can help. My family, and your own, are more than capable of getting you through this. You have us by our sides. You are a part of our family now. You may have even caused me to bear my first child." She felt her stomach, Ben's hand moving over hers, and they laid back on the bed, drifting off to sleep after a long day.
