thursday, august 10 day 4: last minute confession (@benthan-week-forever)

Benji sat in front of his laptop, tears streaming down his face.

He had just heard Ethan confess his love for him over the coms - and then the line went dead. Dead. Like Ethan, he thought.

The blonde was beside himself with grief.

He tried and tried and tried to get a hold of the other one, but there was no response. Benji was consumed with worry and fear, not knowing what had happened to the man he loved.

As he sat there, lost in his thoughts, memories of Ethan flooded his mind. He remembered the way the brunette looked at him, the sound of his voice, the touch of his hand. He realized how much he loved Ethan, and how much he wanted to spend the rest of his life with him.

Benji sat there for what felt like hours, waiting for any news about his partner..

Finally, the coms line crackled to life, and Ethan's voice came through.

"Benji, are you there?" he said, his voice rough.

Benji was overjoyed to hear his voice, bursting into tears once again.

"Ethan, I thought you were dead," he said, his voice choked with emotion.

"I'm okay, Benji," Ethan replied, "I made it out alive, thanks to you."

Point of No Return on AO3 For Benthan Week 2023 Day 4: Last minute confession (and Day 6: Confession over comms AND Day 7: Accidental confession) Sadly, not a Benji/Ethan/Luther fic despite the graphic. Just Benthan. :) @benthan-week-forever 🤍🖤

Day 1 of @benthan-week-forever: Practicing together (sparring, interrogating, etc.) | The ultimate relationship test: shopping at IKEA

He chances a peek at his partner, and slowly casts his eyes then to the half-empty box of cinnamon buns. Benji buys this and another 6-piece of maple Danish, meanwhile between the two Ethan is the one with a sweet tooth. Not once has Benji offered to share since they arrived. Meaning: Benji isn’t just angry. He’s livid. “Benji,” he begs. “Please.”

Happy Benthan week yall!

#benthan #benthanweek2023 #day 1 #tea's writing #“i am going to write only a ficlet I won't overdo it” 9 pages later #still the prompt is very good #apologise in advance for any inaccuracy toward IKEA and the litmus test for Couple #i dont go to IKEA i dont know their intricacies but i know deep down in my heart.......... the pain of furniture shopping is International

day 2: brushing hands (first accidentally, later on purpose) (@benthan-week-forever)

thinking about how we started; remember i was impatient as hell. always said that i saved you - never was good at saving myself. i know love can be dangerous; that was never gonna change how i felt. oh & i could tell that no one ever could divide us. - "divide" by dermot kennedy

At first, it was an accident: a brush of the hand - but the spark it ignited was hard to withstand.

A lover's touch: so soft and sweet.

A moment that makes our hearts skip a beat.

Fingers like silk, sliding down the cheek - a feeling so strong, it's hard to speak.

The pleasure it brings is unique and rare - a moment that we both want to share.

We both know what we feel is real.

Our love for each other - we can't conceal.

We touch each other more and more - our love growing stronger than before.

We hold hands, we hug, we kiss.

The lover's touch is powerful indeed; It's a feeling that we both need.

We touch each other as if we're going away. Far, far away, but our love is here to stay.

#mission impossible #benthan #benthanweek2023 #my art #of course i had to challenge myself with drawing hands #because why the fuck not #lmao #this was harder than it looks tbh #hands are not my strong suit #but i had this idea in my head and AHHHH #yeah #this is the outcome #pls also ignore benjis small hand in the second panel lmao #oh and yeah that's a ring on their finger in the last panel #just because #they're married #endgame #hehe #😏😏 #also: poems are hard ok #but i tried man (genderneutral)
