Chapter 14: Bens's Family Heirloom

I walk with Ben down the field.

"So...were you really worried about losing me?" I ask a little concerned. He blushes, and squeezes my hand. "Yeah- yeah I was..." I smiled and look up at him.

"Don't be, I'm not going anywhere-" Ben looks down at me and stops walking. I continue my sentence, "-plus where would I go? I guess...I have you-" Ben looks at me with intensity. "-and I really...would rather be with you...than in the human world..."

He smiles and hugs me slightly. "Ben, shouldn't we get going?" He hugs tighter and says, "A Little longer..."

------time skip-------

Once we reached the town, I felt a chill down my spine. " What happened to everyone?" Ben takes my hand and leads me into a house. "Well, after people around the town heard about...well me, they all left. Afraid of the curse."

Once Ben opened the door I could easily tell who's house this was. "Here, sit down while I get a towel for you."

I follow his orders and sit on the couch. I look at the TV, noticing a game cube on the ground. And sure enough, the cursed game everyone was so afraid of was on the floor, Next to the controller on the floor.

Ben walks back into the room with a towel in his hand, and one over his head. He sits next to me putting the towel in his hand on my head.

"Here you go, dry off." I rub my hair with the towel till my hair was dry.

"Uh, thanks...for the towel." Ben smiles and says, "No problem at all."

Around 30 seconds passed in complete silence.

"B-Ben, could I ask you something?" He turns to me and says, "of course anything!" He said it in such enthusiasm. It almost seems like he's so enthusiastic all the time. 

"D-Did you have a girlfriend...when you were human?"  He smiles and says, "no no. Of course not. I wasn't that popular you know. With girls I mean. They were either all brats or hated me." 

"Why would they hate you?" I ask looking at him concerned. He looks down almost ashamed. "W-Well, to be honest...I don't know. Back than it almost seemed like the whole world was against me. Rumors and lies always spread quickly. Probably is how I got so famous  internet-wise."

I sit back in the couch sighing. "I know, I felt that exact same way in the human world too...but it's probably my fault for being so shy."

Ben looks at me with intensity... I look back at him.

Gosh, He always looks like he's puzzled when he stares at me...

"It's ok though, we can relate...that's good." I smile a little looking down. "Sorry, one more question. Who's Sarah?" Ben sighs as he frowns looking down.

"Sarah...was my girlfriend when I was a creepypasta...it's a long story." I smile and say, "I've got all night."  Ben chuckles smiling back.

He stares at my for a second or three than smirks. " Hold on. I got something to give you!" He smiles running into another room.

I wait patiently looking outside the window at the moon.

And not a second later Ben returns with his hands behind his back. "Ok, close your eyes!" I smirk saying, "ok fine."

I close my eyes as Ben puts something in my hair. "Ok, open!" I open my eyes unaware of what he put in my hair." But apparently it was amazing by the way he looked at me.

"Wow, Siren you look beautiful in it!" I stand up and ask, "Can I see a mirror?" 

Ben smiles leading me into a bathroom. Once he turned on the light I saw something so gorgeous I could hardly believe it.

It was a pink metal rose with jewels all over the petals. It was an expensive hair clip I guess.

"Wow...B-Ben, this looks expensive! You should have it ba-" Ben interrupts me, "No! Keep it, please! I-it's a family heirloom. It goes back Generations. " Ben wraps his arms around me looking at me through the mirror.

"it was made in Japan and given to my great-great-great grandmother as a gift for her wedding. And ever since, has been passed down to my family's daughters."  Ben hugs tighter. Smiling at me through the mirror, "I was born a boy and only child so I was told to give it to my love IF I ever find one."

I look at the heirloom in amazement, "Ben, this is way to important to give to someone like me. I mean come on, it's been around for like 5 generations. Are you sure you want to give it to someone like me?"

Ben frowns. "What do you mean, Someone like you? Your the only one I'm ever going to love. Plus your WAY more valuable to me than this old thing. I'd rather you loose this than me loose you... It would mean a lot to me if you kept it..."

I look at Ben and sigh, "if it means that much to you than of course I will. It's an honor." He smiles and leads me out of the bathroom.

"Can I show you my room? I haven't seen it in centuries." I nod walking with him into a room with a nameplate that says 'Gamers only.' I laugh a little looking at the sign.

Once he opened the door, I was greeted to a blue and green room with 'legend of Zelda' games all over his floor next to his TV.

"Yep, exactly how I left it..." I smile picking up one of the books on his bed, reading it out loud. "medical essentials. All you need to know to become a doctor." Ben looks at the book and laughs.

"I guess i don't need that anymore..." I look at him to see he was sad. "Hey, cheer up. Do you want to play a game or something?" Ben looks up at me and smiles. "Heh- it's ok. Help me take these books off my bed." I did as I was told and moved them.

"Here get on it with me. It's always been so bouncy let's see if it still is!" I smirk standing on the bed with him.

Really! so childish...

Ben jumps on the bed falling back into his covers. "Yep, always will be I guess." Ben says smiling like a little kid. We both laughed as I sat next to him on the bed.

"This is so soft! It's hard to believe it's been here for centuries." Ben looks at me and smiles. " Here, lay down with me!" I blush looking at the covers. But not moving.

"It's ok siren, remember what I said, that I wasn't going to do anything you don't want me too?...I meant it."

I smile at him laying my head on his pillow. So soft. So comfortable. I close my eyes turning to Ben. I almost fell asleep. I was exhausted from playing that stupid Kick-The-Can game.

"Goodnight Siren..." Ben says pulling the covers over me. I quickly open my eyes and look at him. "Wait, I almost forgot. The kiss!"  Ben smiles a little saying, "it's ok, you don't have to do it. I'm just glad you had fun today. That's all that mattered to me." I smile looking at him.

I close my eyes kissing him anyway. He slowly kisses back, grasping the back of my head. Once I released him from it he blushes, smiling, Looking down.

"I keep my promises. Thanks for the awesome date."  He smiles laughing a little, "thanks for the kiss." I laugh laying my head back in the pillow.

I slowly was drifting off to sleep.

Ben lays his head in front of mine kissing my forehead. "Goodnight Siren, I love you" 

But before I could respond I fell asleep. Happy. Next to Ben. In fact, this was the first night I fell asleep happy in a while...

Goodnight Ben
