You were in such a rush and in the back of your mind you knew you should have been paying Way More attention. You rounded the corner a little too quickly and felt your feet go out from under you due to a patch of ice. You screwed your eyes shut at the soft shriek you gave off and expected the ground to come up and meet you.

But here you were instead blinking up at a pair of copper eyes that looked at you widely in shock. You blinked slowly before you realized that it was Ben and he had somehow managed to catch you before you fell.

"B-Ben?!"

He seemed to exhale slowly as he brought you closer to his chest, his voice soft and rumbling in your ear.

"You're safe now I've actually got you."

You felt your blush flare across your cheeks as you clung to the front of his Black Jacket as he helped you back up to your feet. You breathed out a soft sigh of relief before you nodded to him gently once he had made sure your feet were back on solid and not slippery ground.

"And why were we in such a rush Now huh ?" Bean asked softly.

"Well, I ran out of things I needed for the feast for my family –" you blushed more so and looked down at your hands. You felt bad at how much you had miscalculated but then again you weren't exactly used to making what they had requested either. "–for what they call a Christmas feast you were very in a hurry as all of the shops will be closing soon and you guess you really didn't realize that it was so damn icy..."

Ben gently lifted a hand to your chin tilting your head back a little to meet his eyes. He gave you a soft smile as you blinked before he gently drew his hand away. "I see."

You cleared your throat a moment and took a deep breath. "A-and just what are you doing here Ben thought you were on a mission?"

"Well I Was" Ben replied but tilted his head a little. "Tell me is it so wrong to want to see you first when I arrive home?"

When Ben smirked you swallowed a bit and felt that warmth in your face creep right up to your ears. "N-No, not at all...!" you said with a smile. "I'm just, surprised I guess."

"I suppose we will be needing help carrying things back, yes?"

You blinked up at Ben again in surprise before nodding gently. He turned and took a few steps forward then stopped looking right back at you over his shoulder. "Are Coming ?"

Your mouth hung open for a moment before you snapped it shut then quickly started walking after him before joining him at his side. You smiled up at him brightly. "Thank you Ben."

Ben hummed softly but as the two of you walked you were caught again by surprise as he gently took your hand in his entwining your fingers into his before he gave it a slight squeeze.

"B-Ben?"

"Just in case your feet happen to try to go out from under you again."
