The Ghost In The TV (Ben Drowned X Reader)

Chapter Sixteen: I Regret Remembering

Y/n's POV:

September 1st, 20XX

I don't know how long I had been staring at the wall in the pitch black darkness but, must've been a while because suddenly there was a knock at my door.

"Leave me alone-"

"You want Taco Bell or not ya dumb hoe." Ah, it was bestie. I got up and unlocked the door. Letting her in, Jeff following closely behind. I sat down on the bed, B/f/n beside me and Jeff sitting on the floor. Bestie handed me my food, and Jeff put an anime on the TV while we ate in silence.

This felt... nice. I was wrapped up in a blanket eating good food with my best friend. But, something was missing... More like... someone. Oh gosh I hope Ben doesn't feel too bad..

"I didn't make Ben upset right?" I asked B/f/n quietly, she looked at me and lightly scoffed. "No, no you didn't. I scared the shit out of him though." I gave a soft laugh at that. Feeling a bit better.

"Ben has thick skin, he plays Call Of Duty daily." Jeff chimed in. I nodded a bit. relaxing against the pillows. Already feeling tired. Damn I was gonna need a nap.

. . .

I don't remember passing out but when I woke up Ben was sitting on my bed. I rubbed my eyes, putting my glasses on.

"Ben? What are you-"

"I am sorry" I blinked a couple times. Uh... what?

"Sorry for what?" Ben scooched over so he was sitting beside me. Taking my hand in his. Running his thumb over my knuckles.

"For your brother, it's my own fault." Ben frowned. I hummed softly. "That isn't your fault. It's Zalgo, I don't blame you for any of that ya dork" I chuckled, messing up Ben's hair.

Ben looked relieved "So you still want to go on that date?" He asked with a dumbass grin on his face.

I nodded "Duh, but maybe after I heal from the mark so I don't get hunted down anymore?" I kissed his cheek. Ben's whole face erupted in red.

"Yeah... yeah I can wait." He smiled. Relaxing against the pillows.

"Now.. want to finish this anime with me?"

"I thought you'd never ask"

Ben's POV:

Holy shit holy shit, Y/n kissed me on the cheek. Jeff's gonna go batshit when I tell him about this...
