* ♕ “That’s heroic, and stupid.”
❛ both things i’ve been called before. ❜ neither he has any intention of shying away from , grin wide and cheeks flushed. he’s not in the habit of rushing anyone who goes out of their way to catch him , but he is on a bit of a time limit. brave heroics tend to come with that sort of thing. lydia’s expression , despite the harsh set of her words , is concern rooted. it’s what keeps him stuck to the spot a moment longer. he wants to tell her that it’s not as impulsive as it seems , that he has thought this through — has he , though ? enough to comfort in a way that’s honest ? ❛ i’ll be back soon , i promise. ❜ he’s never broken a promise , and it’s the only one he knows he won’t break now.

* ♕ “This could be your legacy.”
most days , legacy feels like a more important word than his own name. more defining , a more essential part of him than anything else. ❛ it will be , i’d hope. ❜ he supplies after a moment of too-long silence of his own making. this is a legacy the likes of which he’s wanted since before he wanted anything else , some days it feels like an overwhelming success. most days , even , especially ones where he’s too busy holding it up to think about any other way it may feel. if he allows himself a second , it always feels heavy. ❛ i just ... ❜ it’s uncommon that he trails off , but before he’s even finished the thought guilt nags at the back of his mind. claiming kindship is anything but golden has never felt quite right , it doesn’t feel right even in a room with only them two. ❛ sometimes i’d like to help without feeling like the second i make a wrong move everything’s going to fall apart. ❜

* ♕ you shouldn’t be here.
❛ you shouldn’t be anywhere i can’t be. ❜ he can hear the wheels of an argument turning in bellamy’s head , before he’s said anything , before ben’s even caught his gaze. maybe something about how ben isn’t understanding the point of bellamy’s job. ben does understand , though , and he’s made such statement with full comprehension in mind. the crown currently kept safely under lock and key because ben doesn’t need it for everyday existence does nothing to change the importance of the two of them. anywhere one of ben’s people can go is somewhere ben can go , too. he knows because he makes the rules , despite any selection of people who forget this about him. the look on his only company’s face is grave , and ben’s mouth tilts up at corners. naturally , or to make up for the severity that bellamy’s exuding. he jabs a finger into his side , gentle and teasing. ❛ the longer we spend debating whether or not i should be here , the longer it takes for us to leave. i’m here anyway , we might as well do this together. ❜

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN , SINCE HEART UNKNOWINGLY WAS PLACED IN THE HANDS OF HE WHO HAS THE SUN WITHIN HIM ? words sitting upon his chest , ever present — he longs for the feeling of grass below him and wood under gloved hands , laughter from two boys basking in the sun — away from the smells of medicines and bandages. BUT BEN IS THERE , IN HIS MIND , HE’S ALWAYS THERE — unlaces digits , only to intertwine once more , an attempt to move in closer. ❝ past healer’s orders ? i’m starting think you want more alone time with me. ❞ tone drips from lips with soft laughter , grey hues gleaming. ❝ hm , well then — i hope you have something spectacular planned for those two weeks. ❞
is it cruel , in a way , to keep a boy from the thing he loves most ? ben has witnessed cedric soaring from every angle one could , from the stands and from the sky and right beside him. he’s seen that unfiltered joy that is rare in people , rarer than he wishes it was , rarer than it should be. he can comfort himself in knowledge that it’s a sentiment holding no malice , that they have freedom to laugh now — but will ben ever forget the overwhelming fear of not knowing ? of fresher wounds and a time when all ben could do was sit by his bed and wait. hope. hope that had never felt quite so useless as it had then ? it’s certainly etched in mind now , brought back to him anytime he wonders if he’s harboring unreasonable requests. ❛ it’ll be the best two weeks of your life — any special , injury safe requests ? ❜
