#ben and aiden

[primalmagic]

my mind, your thoughts, our echoes

“Can you just… leave me alone for a while?" Ben would be lying if he said that didn't feel like a punch in the gut. - OR Taylor tries to deflect, but it comes off the wrong way. Ben doesn't know how to feel about her dismissal. Cue Aiden and an emotional breakdown.

Aiden squeals as Ben flicks a toothpick at him, Tyler just barely stopping him from grabbing the bag of flour instead. 

“My house, my rules,” He frowns firmly, “If my kitchen ends up victim to a food fight, you’re staying all night to clean it up.”

Aiden’s eyes widen, and ever the genius, he promptly snatches the bag of flour and dumps half of it on Tyler’s feet.

“I- Wha- I literally just told you not to do that!” He glares at the blonde in exhasperation, “What part of ‘staying all night to clean it up’ did you not get??”

He shrugs, “What I heard was if I spill the flour, we get a sleepover. So…”

“Fucker,” Tyler grumbles, as Logan rolls his eyes. Ashlyn simply watches, mildly entertained by the scene in front of her.

Ben suppresses a laugh, raising his eyebrows and turning to Taylor.

… Or where Taylor had been.

Frowning he scans the area, ignoring Aiden’s screams when he realizes Tyler had dumped the remaining flour into his shirt when he turned around. 

He turns to look at Logan, and gestures at Taylor’s empty stool.

Logan scrunches his eyebrows, momentarily confused as to what Ben is asking. Then, his eyes widen slightly, and he points to the sliding door. “I think she went outside?” He frowns, “She was here a minute ago.”

Ben stands up, nodding his thanks. He grabs his phone from the counter and leaves the group behind, his friends screaming bloody murder and ruining the twins’ house. 

The sliding door is old and squeaky, and he has to use all his force to push it open, but when he does, he finds Taylor leaning against the railing.

It strikes him at that moment that she’s absolutely fucking ethereal. Her face remains pensive, and she looks deep in thought. Her hair is down, flowing freely in the wind, some of it sticking into her face due to the autumn humidity. She shifts to move it, and notices Ben staring.

“Oh, hey.”

He awkwardly shuffles for his phone, pulling it out and typing as fast as he can to pass the silence. You okay?

He hadn’t been alone with Taylor in a while, ever since the new school year had started and they’d all gotten busy. It was Tyler’s idea to gather at their house to bake cookies, just for the sake of old times. Taylor had looked like she was having fun, but maybe Ben wasn’t as good at reading emotions as he thought he was.

“I’m okay,” She replies, her voice clipped. It’s quiet, drifting into the breeze as if it’s simply another breath of air. But it’s not, because it means something more, and Ben needs to know what that is.

Why did you come outside?

She shrugged, “Just felt a bit suffocated inside. Nothing much.” 

She attempts to give him a smile, but he sees right through it. He knows that smile, the one she gave when he’d tell her she was fine, like when she was pretending Tyler hadn’t been impaled by a tree and everyone was still okay.

Ben shakes his head, reaching out towards her hand. She flinches, momentarily, and he stills.

“Ben, I- I’m fine. Can you just… leave me alone for a while?"

He would be lying if he said that didn't feel like a punch in the gut.

He looks away and sighs, tucking his phone back into his pocket, but not before it utters one simply word.

Fine.

-

She looked sad, Aiden! The phone speaks as Ben agitatingly twirls it his hand. And then she told me to leave! What am I supposed to do? Is she mad at me? Did I do something wrong?

Aiden blinks, “Right now, you sound like your overthinking. Overtyping? What do you people call word vomit?”

Ben glares at his cousin and rolls his eyes, for both his bluntness and his complete dismissal of the actual problem at hand. Forever childish, Aiden sticks his tongue out in retaliation.

A few silent seconds pass, and finally, Aiden huffs.

“You’re not wrong though… she seems a little bit off, even in school.”

Ben jerks up, glaring at Aiden, So it’s not just today? As in, this has been happening for a while and you didn’t even tell me??

Aiden kicks him, “I didn’t think that much of it until you pointed it out, okay! Why can’t you just talk with her?”

Ben flops onto the chair, as far away from his cousin as possible, and shakes his head, She said to leave her alone, though. I have to respect that.

Aiden throws his hands in the air, “So what the fuck do you need my help for?”

That is… a great question. 

Because Tay trusts you? I don’t know!

Aiden glances at him and sighs, “Ben, I love you, but are you serious? If Tay were to trust anyone, it would be you. After Tyler, obviously. I don’t know what y’all have going on, and I think I’m good with staying in the dark, but…” He side-eyes Ben, causing him to snort, “But if you’re really worried, talk to Ty. He seemed pretty fucking peachy today, so I’m guessing it’s not a family thing.” 

He stares daggers at a nearby lamp, most likely remembering that he still has flour in his buttcrack or something.

“Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go take another shower, and then I am going to go back into Tyler’s bathroom with blue dye.”

How-

“I already found out how to remove his shower head too!”

Aiden are you going to sneak-

“Yep! He is going to suffer through the week looking like goddamn oompa-loompa.” He punches the air and grins, clearly happy with his plan.

Ben doesn’t have the heart to tell his cousin that oompa-loompas are orange.

THESE CAN BE READ AS PLATONIC OR ROMANTICALLY!!

╰┈➤𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐲𝐧

She can handle being all cuddly to a certain extent, before she rolls away to have her own space. Though, she’ll always have some sort of touch with you. That being a hand on your waist or thigh, or even her foot touching yours. (Red confirmed Ashlyn to have autism)

You better hope she doesn’t have any nightmares in her sleep time before transporting to the Phantom world, because if she does she jolts so fast her hair is gonna literally whip you.

This girl is skin and bones, so she’s probably not the warmest to snuggle up to. But she makes that up with wearing nice and soft things, like hoodies, PJ bottoms, and fuzzy socks.

When she’s in a comfortable position with you, she probs drools.

╰┈➤ 𝐀𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧

Sleeping/cuddling with Aiden is a very humbling experience.

He watches tiktoks with you because he thinks it’s a bonding experience while you guys snuggle. (just ignore his fyp it’s cursed…)

Before you guys cuddle, you have to force him to take his contacts out because every cuddle sesh ends up with the two of you falling asleep.

But when he sleeps with them in his eyes become all dried when he wakes up.

(Red also confirmed Aiden to have contacts, because he’s blinder than a bat, and it’s also why his eyes are red because his contacts are coloured.)

Like Ashlyn, he drools… but not just a small bit like the ginger. He’s drooling fucking RIVERS.

He moves about in his sleep, like a lot. And when he settles, it’s only for like a maximum of 4 mins before he’s squirming around like a worm again.

BLANKET HOG ALERT!! WEE WOO WEE WOO. If you ever wake up cold, you’re gonna turn to see Aiden with YOUR OWN blanket cuddling up with the whole damn blanket cuz he srsly subconsciously wrapped himself a cocoon.

When you guys are cozying up together, he’s literally in top of you like the human version of a weighted comforter.

And if you feel suffocated with him on top of you, he’s pressed up to your like a leech looking for affection. I’m talking limbs tangled together and every thing.

╰┈➤ 𝐁𝐞𝐧

He’s such a teddy bear!! ^_^

AND HE’S SO WARM OMFG, ITS CRIMINALLY INSANE HOW COZY THIS GUY IS. A literal damn furnace.

For being such a big guy, you’d automatically think he liked being big spoon. BUT THAT IS FALSE INFORMATION HE LIKES BEING LITTLE SPOON!!

If you knew him before the accident, he used to hum you to sleep as you guys snuggled!!

And when he eventually does fall asleep while cuddling he goes so still like he turned into a rock.

It feels like sleeping next to a dead body…

Except the dead body is incredibly warm instead of being all cold. And if the deceased body had a vice grip on you like I’d be let go you’d disappear.

╰┈➤ 𝐓𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫

THIS CUTIE IS SUCH A SNUGGLE BUG!!

This girl is full of sm love and affection, she loves to show her appreciation for someone through physical touch!

She makes sure that not only she’s comfy, but you are too! Like you guys could be snuggling on a Rocky Mountain and she’d still make it comfortable.

Like Ashlyn she’ll always make sure to have a hand on you, even if you guys are firmly pressed aging eachother like sardines in a can.

╰┈➤ 𝐓𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐫

Whines that he hates cuddling, saying it’s sappy and cringy… But then whines again when you aren’t cuddling up…

He likes to keep his ‘I’m a tough guy’ act on, so he’ll not initiate a cuddle sesh. It’s either gonna have to be you start it, or he’s sick and doesn’t give af.

Unlike Ben, he prefers being big spoon, since he just likes holding you closely to his chest while you guys spoon. Thinks it’s very intimate.

If you tease him about how he comes like putty when you guys cuddle, he’ll get all pouty and push you away. (Only to be back in your arms in 3 minutes time…)

╰┈➤ 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐚𝐧

ANOTHER ONE WHOS A TOTAL CUTIE PATOOTIE ‘BOUT IT!!

But so, so, so painfully awkward…

BUT!! He’s cozy, and has the COMFIEST pillows and blankets lying around it’s insane.

He deffo had one of them cool star projectors that make the room look like space. It’s the coolest.

When you guys start cuddling his glasses stay on, but if it turns into a small snooze they get lost and you guys have to dig through the blankets to find them to he can see, cause without them this bitch turns into Velma from Scooby Doo.
