After about 20 minutes of walking in silence Ben and I finally arrived back at my place. Ben looked a little nervous as he walked over the threshold before I did, I can already tell this night is going to be interesting.
Ben and I awkwardly walked into the lounge area and sat on the couch a few spaces apart, I stole glances at him every once in awhile and couldn't help but notice the sorrow in his eyes never once faltered..
"hey Ben can I ask you something?" I asked, breaking the eerie silence that surrounded us.
" um sure go right ahead nova" Ben turned himself so his legs were now pointing towards me but his sorrow filled face still faced the blackness of the tv.
" why are you so sorrowful looking...? I don't mean to be rude but I'm just curious" I twiddled my thumbs awkwardly as I spoke, unable to look at him. It took him awhile but after what felt like forever he answered with a sigh,
" I guess... I'm just naturally depressed? Or it may be cuz all the other pastas bully me cuz of my height and looks.... I could kill them but I don't want to, I want to be a good pasta.. But it's hard when they all pick on me, and yes that includes your boyfriend" he shrugged and pursed his quivering lips, I gasped at the thought of Jeff picking on ben, I have to do something about this..
I took bens small hands in mine and looked him in the eyes " ben. Don't you worry! As soon as Jeffrey gets back I'm gonna talk to him and same with slendy! You deserve happiness!" I promised, this earned me a slight smile from Ben and he nodded slightly before turning his attention to the dead tv.
If this behavior continued I would die of boredom! I have to Think of something fun to do..... I've got an idea! Youtube!! I hope YouTube would maybe lighten the mood, I rushed off the couch towards my room leaving Ben looking confused on the couch. As soon as I entered my room I quickly grabbed my laptop and prayed that it would be fully charged.
" what's that for?" Ben asked as he saw me return with my shiny red and silver laptop,
"it's my laptop and were gonna watch YouTube!... Do you know what that is?" I asked awkwardly unsure if he would be offended of not. He simply let out a breathy laugh and replied with yet again another sigh,
" ya I do, I watch creepy pasta videos all the time and I hate the way I'm represented in each one! I'm not that creepy.... As you can or Cannot tell" he smiled slightly, it was a charming smile but not overly charming and it seemed forced... I opened up my laptop and searched up YouTube into the google searchbar, I felt Ben scoot closer towards me as I typed 'smosh-legend of Zelda rap' I clicked the first link that appeared and tilted the screen towards Ben and turned up the volume. The lyrics filled the house and so did bens voice! He was singing along after he figured out the words!
After a moment I joined in too and we jammed out and pressed replay over 50 times! But soon the music stopped and my laptop went dead...
" what happened?!?" Ben screeched his eyes wide with concern his previous happiness fading.
" the battery died, don't worry I'll go charge it and we can do something else" I said as I stood up and left the room. I rushed back as fast a I could and jumped on the couch causing Ben to scream. " it's ok Ben! It's just me!" I smiled and he laughed slightly and started humming the Zelda rap
" I've got the triforce of courage bitch so you better listen!" he stopped as he saw me watching him with curiousity, " what is it nova?" he asked i thought for a second and then proceeded
" do you think your sad cuz you have no triforce? Therefore no courage?" he blinked and nodded slightly " that could be it...." he murmured. I Gasped and ran to the kitchen and looked through the drawers till I found what I was looking for. A yellow and black sharpie.
"whats that for?" Ben looked at the sharpies in my hand as I approached him. " this, is so you can have a triforce on your hand. So you can have courage" I took his hand in mine and began to draw the triangular image. I finished and let bens hand fall to his lap, he stared at the triforce then looked up at me and smiled a genuine smile that made his eyes shine " thank you so much!!!" he leaned forward and hugged me tightly, I laughed and looked at him happily " now let's go play some just dance!"
