(at the motel during season 4, in the middle of the night)

Ben:

Jack: Why are you staring at me?

Ben: I always wondered how tall people like you could sleep at night without ever being bothered by how short your blanket can be.

Jack: Benjamin... what kind of question is that? It's 4 AM!

Ben: And still, you can't sleep. Is it because of the blanket?

@luminarot oops, sender is carrying a bag full of groceries that ends up breaking. receiver helps them pick their groceries back up. ( for sheppard & ben lol )

It's not that John's keeping an eye on Ben and Max exactly. It's just that his dorm is pretty close to where they're staying, and ever so often, he spots one or the other. Usually, he doesn't even stop. Sure, he'll wave or something, but he doesn't actually know them.

The only reason he knows them at all is the worst thing that ever happened to them, and he doubts they want much to do with him. He remembers when his mom died, he didn't want to see anything or anyone that'd remind him of her.

(Except, now these two brothers remind him of her in a roundabout way, and he's certainly not avoiding them.)

In any case, he's not planning to stop this time either, except he's driving by and spots Ben carrying too many grocery bags. The plastic rips, and it's basically a Rube Goldberg device of spaghetti sauce jars and milk and bread.

He can't leave him that way, so he pulls over and hops out. "Hey, need some help?"

Rick Carlisle: Ben Sheppard has been very consistent

Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle likes what he’s seen from sophomore Ben Sheppard so far this season (7.5 PPG, 54.8% FG, and 50.0% 3-PT are all career-highs). (via Indiana Pacers): “He’s just been very consistent. You look at the plus-minus every night: he’s usually a plus just simply because of how hard he plays, how he plays within our system, and he takes the right shots. Defensively:…

Tagged by @badwolfbadwolf thank you! It's been a minute since I did one of these 😊

Last song: right now it's Out of My Head by Fastball, but when I started this it was Beverly Hills by Weezer. (Now it's Dance Around the Whiskey by the Real McKenzies.) (I have music playing a lot.)

Last book: last book I read from is the current Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England re-read; last book I finished was Sunlit Man re-read. Both by Brandon Sanderson, what a shocker 😅

Last movie: ...I can never remember which movies I've seen last because I watch actual movies so rarely these days. I think it might have either been the Dungeons & Dragons Honour among thieves movie, or the truly, hilariously awful Ferocious Planet with Joe Flanigan

Last TV show: the Expanse, my beloved

sweet/savory/spicy: sweet, definitely. Can't have spicy, and savoury really depends on the specifics

Relationship status: single-ish (damnable geographic distances) and poly anyway

Last thing I googled: making sure I actually got the names of those movies right 😂

Looking forward to: season 3 of ST strange new worlds, season 2 of Andor, playing D&D again

Current obsession: Baldur's Gate threeeee

..still lol

3 ships: *glances at AO3 works page* um. What do you mean "3"?

Alright, alright. Uh. Three random ships I like in no particular order. Todd the Wraith/John Sheppard. Dalinar Kholin/Kaladin Stormblessed. Amos Burton/Prax Meng. There we go!

First ship: Ben/John/Sarah Midsomer Murders OT3 my loves

Only You - When Benny Met...

Masterlist

Summary: Having spent most of your life in relationships that went nowhere. You struggled to trust that this man… this ray of sunshine… wouldn’t leave you eventually. (18+)

Relationships: Reader x Ben Miller

Warnings:Like AO3, I choose to give none. Read at your own risk. (So bit of a short chapter but I promise they'll get longer... enjoy 🙊)

Series Masterlist

"Stitch!... I know you're about to clock out but we got a 40-year-old male in bay six, laceration to left arm. Dude's lucky, just missed his Brachial Artery... Guy apparently hit on the guys wife, couldn't take no for an answer." 

"Why can't you do it?" You sighed as you threw your colleague a sideways glare. 

"We all know you're the best at stitching folks up. I have a tone of patients I need to see and you'd be doing me a solid if you could stitch him up and get him on his way." 

"Spencer I-" 

"He's got a cute friend with him." Your colleague pushed and you rolled your eyes.

"Because that's the way to convince me." 

"Come on Stitch... Please!" Spencer pleaded, giving you his best puppy dog eyes and you sighed, snatching the patient file away.

"Fine but you owe me!" You grumbled, pointing a finger at him in a warning manner. 

"One hundred per cent!" Spencer replied, hands together like he was in prayer. 

"Let's go see what the damage is then hmm?" 

...

"You doing okay there Fish?" Ben asked as he gave his friend's uninjured arm a squeeze. 

"They got me on the good shit so all things considered... Not too bad." The pilot chuckled, giving his brother-in-arms a dopey smile as he looked up at the blonde. 

"Glad to hear it Fishsticks." Ben replied, head darting up as the privacy curtain of Frankie's cubicle was pulled back. 

You weren't what Ben was expecting. 

You smiled at him as you entered, eyes sparkling under the fluorescent light. He couldn't help but be captivated by you. Your soft features and striking eyes instantly enchanted him. 

"Dr Sheppard... You got awful pretty since we last saw you." Benny flirted, grinning at the amused eye roll you gave him. 

"Dr Spencer has asked me to use my fine Stitching skills and help your friend." You replied, holding out your hand then to introduce yourself "Mr Morales, how are we feeling?" 

"We're feeling goooood." He drawled, eliciting a grin from you and Ben. 

"Feeling a little high are we?" You chuckled before pulling back the bandage that covered his injury 'Yikes... They got you good huh?" 

"Should have seen the other guy" Frankie grumbled and you chuckled.

"You got him good Fish." Benny assured his friend, giving him a firm nod before returning his attention to you "He got a few punches him before the guy sliced him." 

"I don't condone violence." You warned and Ben grimaced. 

"I won't tell you what I do for a living then." 

"What you beat people up?" 

"That's exactly what he does." Frankie replied as he attempted to big up his friend, only to chuckle after. 

"I'm an MMA fighter." Ben clarified "Special forces before that." 

"Explains Fish." You chuckled as you pulled on your gloves and started to prep what you needed to stitch Frankie up. 

You administered some general, noting the flinch on Ben's face when you pierced his friend's flesh.

"If you hate needles... I don't recommend you watch the next part." You chuckled as you readied the needle. 

"I'll be fine." Ben replied, eyes going wide as brought the needle to Frankie's flesh. 

That was the last thing he said before he blacked out.

Six months later...

"Hey, Princessa." You gushed as you welcomed baby Lila with open arms. 

"I thought that was my nickname." Benny pouted as he gave you a friendly nudge. 

"Oh, you're just, Princess!" You teased "Princessa is reserved for this little angel." 

"How you doing Stitch?" Frankie asked as he sat down beside its wife "Work still hell?" 

"It's A&E Fish... It's always hell." You chuckled, eyed flitting up to the pilot before returning to the smiley baby in your arms "How's this little one sleeping?" 

"Believe it or not but she sleeps right through." Replied Maria as she laid her head on her husband's shoulder "Pretty sure we've got a trick baby on our hands." 

"Got so many friends who ended up having another baby because their first one was perfect!" You giggled "But, it could just be that you two are acing this parenting shit." 

"Definitely the latter." Pipped up Ben and you smiled at him sweetly.

"Suck up." Piped up Will, eliciting a hearty laugh from everyone but Ben. 

You had never expected, after meeting Ben and Frankie all those months ago, that you would have gained such amazing friends. Ben had practically begged you for your number and you had given in. You'd not been able to resist his kind eyes and you'd found yourself excited at the prospect of going out with him. Turned out he just wanted to be friends. 

Or at least, that's what you thought. 

Ben had been over the moon that you'd given him your number. He'd spent that whole evening trying to plan the perfect date. Fancy restaurant, followed by a romantic walk on the beach and a kiss under the stars. But nerves got the better of him and he'd suggested going for a drink. It was safer. If things went bad you both had an easy out. Then as the night had come around, he'd ended up inviting the guys last minute and that's how you'd ended up becoming part of his circle. 

Just not his girlfriend. 

Now six months down the line, he was still kicking himself for not acting when he should have. 

“Hey, babe… Sorry, I’m late. Got stuck on a call that I thought was never going to end.” 

Ben watched as the guy who had, had the spine to act kissed you sweetly and his stomach twisted at the smile you gave the man as he pulled away. 

“Well look who you have.��� He gushed as he stroked little Lila’s cheek “You’ve gotten so big, little lady.”

“She’s growing like a weed!” Maria gushed “Already in 3-6 months clothes!” 

“You’re still so cute n’ little though!” You cooed as you cuddled the baby closer, smiling when she gave you a gummy yawn and nuzzled in closer. 

“Suits you.” Said Mike as he leaned in closer to kiss you. 

“What does?” You asked, giving him a bemused look. 

“The baby!” 

His reply took you by surprise. 

You had been dating Mike for a little over four months. You'd met him on one of your many nights out with the guys and had been swept away by his brown eyes and easy smile. You had found yourself settling into an easy relationship with Mike. It wasn't exciting like the ones you read about in your erotic novels but it was safe. Warm and cosy. He made you feel beautiful and that was more than you'd ever hoped for. 

Ben felt his heart shatter when he heard Mike's statement. He watched the two of you as you smiled and giggled whilst fawning over the tiny person sleeping soundly in your arms, hating that it wasn't him. He knew he was to blame for how things had turned out. He'd lost his nerve. He had never felt like this about anyone before. It was love at first sight for him. Something that up until that day in the hospital, he'd never believed in. 

Then you walked in. Soft smiles and kind eyes and he'd fallen for you instantly. 

Standing abruptly he made his way over to the bar, oblivious to the concerned look Frankie threw his way. 

"I'll be back in a sec." The pilot said, kissing his wife's cheek before following the younger Miller over to the bar. 

"Another beer please." Ben called out to the barman, ignoring the presence that had appeared beside him. 

He knew who it was and he knew what the man wanted to talk about but he wasn't in the mood. He just wanted to get drunk. Numb himself from the pain he was feeling at seeing you so happy with someone else. 

"Ben..."

"Don't!" The younger man warned but Frank was having none of it. 

"You need to tell her how you feel." 

"And what is that gonna achieve?" Ben spat "She's got him now." 

"Maybe if she knew the truth, she might-"

"Leave him?" Ben scoffed "Leave the bigshot restaurant owner for the MME fighter that's just recently moved out of his Brother's basement?... Yeah, I'm a real catch!" 

"Ben-"

"She's better off not knowing." Ben choked "At least I can have her as a friend. Telling her would only fuck that up." 

"You should give yourself some credit brother." Frankie sighed as he gave his friend's arm a reassuring squeeze "You're too hard on yourself." 

"I'm just being realistic." Ben growled "I had my chance and I blew it!" He sobbed "Now she's with a guy that can give her everything she deserves." 

"But so can you!" Frank argued, pulling a scoff from Ben "And I'd argue that you'd make her way happier than that Mike ever could." 

"I don't know Fish..." 

"Just tell her!... What have you got to lose?" 

"Everything." 

Frankie's words echoed in his head for the rest of the evening. He knew his friend was right but he didn't know if he could risk losing you. You had become such an integral part of his life. You had become so close. Best friends one might say and he didn't want to lose what he had. He would get over you eventually, he couldn't remain in love with you forever... right?

This would pass. 

This pain would pass.

So as he’d laid in bed that night, staring up at the ceiling as images of your face flashed in front of his eyes he decided that it was best to just bury his feelings. Having you as a friend was better than not having you at all. So the weeks and months that followed played out like the ones that came before them. You and Ben would have your movie nights. Evenings at the bar with the guys and gossip over WhatsApp like two grandmas at Bingo. 

But the pain Benny felt didn't fade. 

He watched you fall harder and harder for Mike. Listen to you gush about the expensive restaurants and flash bars he took you to. The presents he showered you with. Ben hated that this man was able to give you everything he wanted to give you. He couldn't help but feel like Mike was showering you with all this because he was hiding something. 

That something came in the form of a busty blonde that nine months into your relationship, you'd found playing tonsil tennis with the man you'd thought was the man you were going to marry. 

How wrong you'd been. 

"How could I have been so blind?" You sobbed, spooning a ridiculously large scoop of ice cream into your mouth.

"You weren't blind Stitch... He's an asshole!" Benny growled before pulling your closer "Guy clearly didn't realise what he had!" 

You scoffed at Ben's statement. 

"What?" 

"This is just how things go for me, Ben." You sobbed "I meet a guy... fall in love with him and then he either leaves me or cheats on me." 

You ate a few more spoonfuls of ice cream before dumping the tub onto your coffee table and scrubbing a hand over your tear-streaked face. 

"Maybe I should just quit." 

"Quit what?" Ben pushed and you groaned. 

"Men!" You expelled "I mean... I'm not the sort of girl destined for marriage and kids." 

"What the hell makes you think that?" 

"I don't have a flat stomach, my thighs don't have a gap and my arms aren't toned." You scoffed "I'm the girl a guy dates to make him look like he's not shallow... Date a fat girl for a while and you'll look like you're deep... See past flaws-"

"Okay, I gotta stop you there." Ben snapped "You are not fat." He started, pointing at you "You are one of the most beautiful women I know... Inside and out." 

"Ben-" 

"Mike was a fucking idiot for letting you slip through his fingers and if he-"

Ben was interrupted by knocking at your front door. 

"I can get it if you want." 

"No, it's fine." You replied, pushing yourself to your feet "Probably just Mrs Bell in need of sugar again." 

When you opened the door and saw Mike standing there the air was stolen from your lungs. His eyes were red and puffy. Almost like he'd been crying. 

"What do you want Mike?" You asked, trying to keep your voice steady. 

"I wanted to talk." He said, almost pleadingly "Explain." 

"Explain why you cheated?" Ben growled as he stepped up behind you. 

"Of course, you're here." Mike growled and you sighed at the remark. 

"What?" Ben snapped, stepping forward only to be stopped by your hand on his chest.

"I mean that you seem to always be here when I'm not." Mike growled "Can't accept that you missed your chance." 

"Mike." You warned and the man backed down "Ben, I need to talk to Mike alone." You stated as you turned to look at the man standing behind you. 

"But you'll-" 

"I'll be fine." You assured him "Best get going. You got your fight later." 

"You sure?" Ben asked and you nodded sweetly at him. 

"I'm sure." 

Ben walked back into your apartment to grab his coat before leaving, hugging you tightly on his way out. 

"Call me if you need anything." 

"I will." You assured him, giving him a small smile before watching him leave. 

Ben didn't like the idea of leaving you alone with that man. He knew Mike had a hold over you and he worried that he'd manage to worm his way back into your life again. 

If only he'd just taken you on that date.
