First chapter - Kenji's POV

Note: go watch the last epizode of CT before reading this :)

"Benjamin! Dude. Y- You died? And you didn't tell us?"

I could feel my heart skipping a beat when Gia told me about Ben's giving up completly.

I glare at Ben. He is staring at me like I wrote GUILTY all over his forehead. 

"It was only for, like, a second. It wasn't a big deal."

IT WASN'T A BIG DEAL?!

This guy must be messing with me, dude!

"What? BEN!" The whole table gasps, while Ben is trying to calm us down.

"You have to start telling us things!" I lecture Ben.

"I say dying is a bit of A DEAL!" Says Yaz, after she almost chokes on her food.

"The surgeon brought me right back."

Oh god, I feel nauseous at the thought of Ben's lifeless body.

"We gotta get you some cat ears, 'cause I swear you've got nine lives." Sammy laughs, which makes the atmosphere around the table less tense.

"Well, then you better be careful, Benny boy, 'cause you only got five left," smirks Yaz.

"This food is delicious! Which one of you made it?" Gia asks.

"Me anddddd Darius." I grin at D and grab him by the shoulder.

"To be honest, I did most of the cooking." Darius tries to defend himself.

"Yeah, but I helped you with keeping you DELIGHTFUL company." 

I hear Ben giggle at my stupid joke. Wow it's so nice to see him happy again.

"Kenji, I hope that you will take good care of my Benisimo while I'm at school." Gia says, putting her hand on Ben's chest.

"Don't worry Gia, I'm pretty sure that he won't let me out of his sight for weeks." Benny smiles, giving Gia a little peck on her lips.

"That's right, BeNiSiMo, you're stuck with me now." I lock eyes with Ben.

-

"I and Yaz have to return to our ranch tomorrow. We need to clean up the mess that those locusts made." Sammy informs us.

"Oh, yuck! I remember their evil faces and their discusting long legs, one time I even saw one thrownig up a piece of-"

"Woah, Kenji, could you just stop talking about these creatures while we're eating,please?"

Interupts me Brooklyn.

"Oh, yeah, sure..." I shut my mouth faster than ever before. I glance at Ben, trying to see if I embarrassed myself, but he wasn't even listening to me. He staring at Gia, with a dum look on his face.

I feel my heart sink to the bottom of my stomach.

I remember the flight with him to the hospital;  it's the one thing that keeps me up at night.

His pale skin and his almost lifeless body. His breath was getting slower and slower till I could barely see his chest moving. His eyes closed, twitching with pain. I didn't know if I would ever see his blue irises ever again. I know I did everything I could to save him, but there was still one thing I regretted at that moment.

When we were in the hyperloop, we were sitting on the floor, his head on my shoulder. I was afraid to move. I didn't want him to move his head away. My arm around his shoulder. I could feel the cold sweat running down his back.

Right there, at that moment, I should've moved my palm to the back of his neck and kiss-

"Kenji?"

"Kenji!"

I'm brought right back to reality by the sound of Sammy's voice.

"Dude, you zoned out for like ten minutes!" Laughs Darius.

"Oh!" I can feel my face getting red.

"What could you possibly be thinking about for that long? You usually don't think at all." Jokes, Yaz.

"You know...stuff...I mean... very IMPORTANT stuff that you wouldn't even understand."

" Well, everything that's important to you is also important to us, so what kind of stuff?" Asks Ben.

"Too many questions, Benny;  you should save your strength for something more important. I smirk at Ben, trying to brush him off.

My note:

Hey, I just wanted to say that english isn't my first language, so if you see any mistakes, ignor them :)
