#3 outta the 4 memes apply to the fic

B. E. N with a s/o that's actually down bad and loyal to death for them. Want their s/o to get away from someone? No questions asked. Want something from them? Don't even gotta ask. Want them to do something? Already there. B. E. N got mad (probably because of something that themselves made but refuse to accept they're the wrong ones)? Don't worry, his s/o takes the blame, B. E. N is always right no matter what.

They would love an s/o like that! Of course, it is a fine line to balance. Its s/o can't be mindlessly agreeing with everything it says. That would feel insincere and become predictable. On the flip side, their partner can't be a contrarian; that would get on their nerves. One would have to be loyal because of their own justifications.

For example: BEN wants you to cut someone off.

You cut that person off because: You didn't like them, you were hardly talking, or another reason.

The reason for your actions does not solely rely on the fact BEN said so, (fearing it + the consequences of ignoring it). Your actions are because of your own beliefs and logic. Push back is welcomed, as long BEN doesn't feel genuinely threatened. While the whole "downbad s/o" is nice in the aspect of control; it's also a saftey defense. It lessens the likelyhood of something bad happening to them when there is a clear motive.
