Hii could I request some creeps like Ben drowned or Toby and more with a new reader proxy (whose job is like to check up on other proxies like their health and stuff but other than that they ignore everybody and go on some missions) that is very timid, introverted, calm and isolated? In their free time they'll always be seen either on their phone (probably playing some kids game like cooking mama or hello kitty adventure or Roblox bc it's iconic) or just listening to music. When you'll try totalk to them you would find out they're pretty shy and blunt but very polite and patient? Thank uu

I decided to group them together since they would definitely tag team you with love and friendship!

Platonic!Ben & Toby

“Bro! Roblox is the fuckin’ SHIT!” Toby exclaims, and sits down next to you.

“ROBLOX?” Ben will appear, and sit in the other side of you.

Oh no.

Now you’re trapped.

Your heart race increases solely from social anxiety, and you’re doomed to fall victim to this new friendship.

You’re too stunned to say anything, but they’re already pulling out their phones to play with you.

Because everyone always loves a good Roblox game.

Ben grew up with it, and Toby goes crazy for the horror games and obbys on it.

And, just as Ben had planned, you slowly begin to warm up to them as you playing throughout the day, with Toby occasionally running to get snacks for everyone.

Toby downed a whole box of Caprisuns and no one said a word.

Now, Toby and Ben’s silly little meme avatars are at the first of your friends list whenever you log on, and you always invite them to whatever game you’re playing.

Ben has an entire collection of mansions and restaurants on Bloxburg, and usually attempts to kidnap players with you.

Toby will giggle under the covers on call, and occasionally scream from a scary game, usually the Roblox version of FNAF or something similar.

And just like that, you found yourself two new friends who will stick by you until the end.

Anthony is going to enact the most balls the wall certifiably cooked proposal anyone could imagine. Remember when Beyoncé and Jay Z rented the louvre for a day to film a video? That times ten for Viscount Anthony when he finally proposes to auctioneer Kate, not to mention a ring big enough and wow enough to get her colleagues (a group of people who deal with luxury and antique jewellery every single day) gasping and gossiping.

In my head it’s something like this but maybe not? [Brand is Chaumet, icons of ridiculously ott jewellery]

I think his proposal would be so understated Kate would almost miss it. His first instinct would be to do something insane like get his voice used instead of Big Ben’s bongs and then he’d calm down just a little. Well, calm down for him.

He gets Ben to paint something for him, with the most important question he’s ever going to ask hidden somewhere in it. Then he takes it in for Kate to appraise. Watching her brow furrow as she looks at it.

“Anthony, I don’t… know who painted this but-”

“Keep looking, babe.”

“Really desperate for some money hey? Am I bleeding you dry?”

“Just keep looking.”

“This is worth- Oh my god.”

“Ah you’ve found it.” Anthony grinned, dropping to one knee.

“You’re ridiculous.”

“Are you going to marry me though?”

“Yes, Anthony. Always yes.”

“I can’t believe you called this painting useless. Benedict’ll be so disappointed.”

Her engagement ring is enormous. Visible from space, she’s sure. An antique that made even her coworker’s mouth drop open when they saw it. There’s articles written about it the first time they step out to an event and a picture ends up in the society pages. People stop her and ask to look at it, which Anthony loves. He loves people gawping at his engagement ring because it means that everyone knows that Kate said yes. Kate’s his wife. Well, soon enough.

the newsies cast still being buddies a decade later brings me SO much joy

i dont look through their stories often anymore to but decided to yesterday and was so glad that i did

alex wong (OBC sniper), adam kaplan (2013- morris and jack u/s) and michael fatica (OBC swing/dance captain) going on tommy bracco (OBC/livesies spot)'s bachelor trip?? adorable. (also, tommy and joey having a 'bachbill' made?? iconic shit)

jack sippel (toursies mush, livesies darcy/kenny), kaitlyn frank (toursies kath u/s) and demarius copes (toursies henry) posting on their stories for josh burrage (toursies/livesies jojo)'s birthday? adorable

ben cook (livesies/toursies race) and iain young (livesies/toursies finch) being at josh burrage's birthday party? adorable (iain is in the back in the burgundy tee and ben is carrying the cake!)

in conclusion i love them

Katherine’s turn!!!

This one was actually harder for me to give a breakdown of (included Sarah from the 1992 movie too because I feel like she fits). Katherine has Sarah’s nose, and some of her moles. I loved the hair done for Cailen Fu at TUTS and Bronté Barbé on the West End, and the broach on the TUTS costume. I gave her a combination of Kara Lindsay and Cailen Fu’s chin/jaw, but of course Katherine has Kara Lindsay’s iconic (and wonderful) smile. I also tried to give her Kara’s wide, expressive eyes. Finally, once again, I gave her the vest from my own Katherine costume I made over the summer, which the shape of was inspired by the West End costume, and the colours of the Broadway costume.

I probably won’t do any other detailed portraits like this, as not ALL of the cast of Newsies are combinations of various actors in my head (For example: Racetrack is just Ben Cook). But you never know.

charming and charismatic town official , great at drawing in a crowd and overseeing all the best local events . old money ( as much as you can be in this town , bc their family has always been here ) so obviously corrupt w very questionable morals

THE barber who does put everything you say in their chair on blast via their town meme page / finsta but customers stay loyal bc the only competition has a much darker reputation ( plot twist : and they were roommates ! )

ofc , new in towns / tourists with shady motives , to keep the locals on their toes

Oooh thank you! Like last time, i will be doing my next most popular creeps!

Thank you so much for requesting!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Homicidal Liu

His room is on the second floor, and is the fourth door to your right

His door has fake vines on it, just to give it some ~spice~

His bed is on the left side of his room, its queen sized and he makes it every morning

He has light green bedsheets, pillows with white pillowcases, and a brown comforter

His room is a mix of cottagecore and dark academia

He doesnt have a nightstand, so he puts everything on his desk

Laptop, tablet, hairspray, medications, etc

He has a very big bookcase, where he stores all of his books, trinkets and plants

He has a lot of plants btw

Total plant guy

He picked up taking care of plants after reading that surrounding yourself with life can help with depression, and after a while he just enjoyed having plants

He has a lot of succulents bc those are his favorite, but he also has a lot of flowers, most of which, are kept on his window sill

He also likes candles, so his room and clothes typically smells very good

He likes candles that smell clean

Like fresh linen, cotton, daisies, etc

This being said, he usually smells the best

He has a tv mounted on his wall in front of his bed, but he doesn't use it much because he usually spends his time reading

He also has a 3ds, which he usually carries with him for when he gets bored on missions

His favorite game to play is cooking mama

He has fairy lights strung across his ceiling, jeff makes fun of him for it but he refuses to take them down

He doesnt have many stuffed animals, as that could trigger a little to the front of the headspace, but he does have 2 or 3 teddy bears he keeps stashed in his closet just in case a little is pushed to front, and needs something for comfort

Speaking of his alters, he tries not to have many things in his room that triggers disassociation or switching

He tries to keep his room as "his space", and his alters have other places in the manor they can go to feel comfortable and happy

His room is very tidy, the occassional dirty dish sitting on his desk

Hoodie

His room is located on the third floor, and is the second door on the left

His door has a bunch of stickers on it, most are from the children of the manor, so he has a lot of dinosaurs and unicorns, but occasionally someone like BEN or clockwork will come along and slap a sticker on there

He enjoys the stickers, he thinks they give his room some character

His room is fairly plain, not many decorations as he doesn't spend much time in his room

His bed has plain white sheets and pillows, and a black comforter

He has a rug on his floor, it is just a basic black rug

He also has fairy lights

He has an acoustic guitar, and occassionally plays with Natalie

His desk has his meds, laptop, and iconic hoodie on it

His room probably smells like a mix of cologne and cigarettes

He doesnt really smoke himself, but when he's hanging out with Tim, Tim usually smokes

He has a small couch in his room, placed next to his bed with a few small pillows and a blanket on it

His tv is on the wall in front of his bed

He absolutely has those fake wisteria things on his ceiling above his bed

He has a minifridge next to his bed where he keeps mainly drinks

He also has a framed picture of him and masky sitting on top of the minifridge

He has a few pictures of his friends here and there, and also hangs up drawings the children make for him

He also has a doll on his desk, it is the doll he uses when he plays with sally

He is very protective of the children, as he wishes he could have his own someday, but knows that will likely never happen

His room is also pretty clean, the worst of it being a few dirty clothes here and there

Killian Lynch

His room is on the third floor, and is the fourth door on the left

He doesn't have any decorations on his door, just the bronze plate with his name on it

He has a queen sized bed, and it is a bit higher than most beds

His bed also has a canopy, the curtains being a deep purple

He has black pillows, purple sheets and a black comforter

His main light is a black chandelier, it is almost never on though

He has blackout curtains, allowing no light

He does, however, have LED lights that are almost always on the magenta setting

He has a candle obsession, but not scented candles, he's obbsessed with pillar candles and taper candles

He has so many taper candle holders and snuffers

More often than not, he has almost all of his candles lit

He also has a lot of books, but keeps them in a stack on the floor of his room

I feel like hed also enjoy the fake vines

He has them all over his walls

His room probably smells like incense, as well as his clothes

His desk is probably the best organized in the entire house

He has so many things on his desk, but because he keeps it so organized, it doesn't look like much

I can see him being an enjoyer of literature, often writing in notebooks he finds about his theories about different books he's read

His room is spotless almost all the time

Julius the dressmaker

His room in on the third floor, and is the fourth door to your right

His door is very decorated, having a wide array of colors, paintings he's painted over, pictures, scraps of fabric, etc

The second you walk in his door, you are hit in the face with all of the things he keeps in his room

I definitely see him as being a maximalist

His room is cluttered and messy, you can barely even see his bed over it all

His bed, isnt even really a bed either

He keeps his spare fabrics, threads, etc on his bed

Definetly not as bad as Jeff's room, but yk

I feel like he would have a lot of leopard print

His walls would also be very much covered in wallpaper, posters, fabrics, sketches for things he wants to sew, etc

His room probably smells like fruity perfume

Def not clean but at least it's not as bad as Jeff's

Jane the killer

Her room is on the third floor on the first door to your right

Her door has been painted a dark purple

Her room is very gothic

Her bed sits on the wall right in front of her door, and like Killian, she has a slightly higher up bed, with a canopy

Her curtains, however, are very sheer, and they are black

Her entire bed spread is black as well

Her walls have been painted purple

She almost always has a speaker playing music, it really sets the vibe for her room

She is also obsessed with pillar candles, and always has them lit

She has blackout curtains so that the sunlight doesn't ruin the vibe

Instead of using her closet, she has a very victorian-esque wardorbe

Her closet is instead used for the things she collects, such as original victorian clothing, artwork, etc

Speaking of artwork, she has a lot of victorian artwork on her walls

Most are just reprints as she obviously can't afford the real things

Her room is very clean, and always smells like her perfume

She has two nightstands on either side of her bed and she keeps her prosthetic, meds, phone, etc on them

She also has 2 pet rats

They are both boys, and she's named them Lucifer and Aristole

She treats those rats so well they are her sons <33

Jason the Toymaker

Jason has no need to sleep, being a ghostly entity of unkown sorts

So instead, he's transformed his room into his workshop

He is located in the attic, along with Lj and Candypop

The attic has been separated into 4 main rooms

A room for Lj, a room for Candypop, a room for Jason, and a bathroom they all share

So when you walk into Jason's room, it appears as if no one has ever lived there

The entire place is covered in dust, and smells of old lady perfume

The entire room is surrounded by huge shelves, where hundreds of dolls sit

In the middle of the room, is Jason's sewing machine and a basket where he keeps all of his materials

There is a small wardrobe with a built in mirror where Jason keeps things such as his clothes, his perfume, his makeup, etc

And the only light source is an old window with old blinds, that looks as if they could fall apart any minute

Despite the downright gloomy vibe to the place, Jason thrives in this environment

Surrounded by his dolls and with nothing but his sewing machine to distract him, he finds he gets some of his best work done here!

He also has some doodles the children have made pinned to his wardrobe, each doodle detailing different outfits they want made for their games of dressup

And who better he to make such outfits?

Newsies (Live)

Ok so I rewatched newsies live at like,,Christmas and have been caught in a major newsies spiral so here are my thoughts 😻‼️

Jeremy Jordan 🥰 I get that he was kinda old to play Jack but Idc he’s iconic I’m so glad they called him back to play him

Same with Kara she’s an icon and literally the only Katherine I will accept for the proshot

Completely random but I’m glad it was a proshot and not an attempt to make it into a musical movie 😭 (especially since 92sies is literally already a movie lmao)

I also rewatched the og movie and watching it reminded me how much they BUTCHERED SPOT’S SCREEN TIME 😕 and therefore Tommy’s screen time 😔

Also Tommy Bracco he is literally the only spot I will accept (and like,,the only spot on bway that Ik so 😭)

The bg newsies 🥰 Literally all of them they were all icons the cast was literally perfect it’s unreal

ETHAN 😭 HE’S SUCH A CUTIE AND IS SO DRAMATIC IT’S ADORABLE

Andrew Keenan Bolger, also so glad they got him back as crutchie cuz he is an I c o n (as much as I love Andy I deffo prefer Andrew as crutchie lmao)

The fact that there were enough members in the cast that there was literally only 1 case of a newsie doubling up on characters

Literally the entirety of seize the day

The fact that Jeremy runs away from all of the dancing 😭

Also how Jeremy almost kills himself at the end with the heel click/bell kick 💀

The fact Michael (Tommy boy) has a rlly bad American accent but that’s ok cuz I can’t do one either 🥰

BROOKLYN’S HERE 😻‼️‼️

How Tommy’s (spot) eyeliner/eye lashes are sm more noticeable than everyone else, especially his bottom lashes lmao

How tf did Morris not hurt his hand when he hit the printing press?? Like gurl what 😭

The Delancey brothers - they were like,,deffo less comical than in the og movie but still rlly silly 😭

The fact morris literally just stands on top of the newspaper bit for like the entire show

Them bonking heads (I am a Delancey apologist sorry guys 😔)

Ben Tyler Cook 🥰 I absolutely adore Ryan Breslin and actually would’ve loved to see him return as Race but god Ben is so silly I love him sm 😭

“The woild is yer erster” - Literally no one beats his version of this sorry 😭

Pulitzer - He was so good and literally for what bro 😭

”It’s a compromise we can all live with” - Jack Kelly 1899

BEN FANKHAUSER‼️ Also literally the only appropriate Davey fr

The way at the start of Brooklyn’s here Jeremy hits the printing press in time with the music

The set 😻 Ik it’s kinda simple but literally shut up it’s iconic

The height difference between Tommy and Ben at the end of Brooklyn’s here and like,,everywhere lmao

Honestly the height difference between Tommy and everyone

Joshua Burrage - He’s so silly I love him sm

MEDDAAA‼️ GOD HER VOICE IS JUST SO UGH 😫 AND SHE’S SUCH A SWEETHEART LIKE PLS MA’AM BE MY MOTHER 😭

Once and for all - this song will literally always give me chills

TOMMY NOT THROWING THE PAPER STACK HIGH ENOUGH DURING ONCE AND FOR ALL 😭

Ben Cook kicking himself in the face during seize the day 💀

THE CAMERA ANGLE WE GET DURING THE RALLY RIGHT BEFORE JEREMY ENTERS

The hug between Tommy and Michael (Spot+Tommy Boy) at the end when Jeremy tells them they won ☹️

The fact Oscar and Morris went for Les first?? Like gurl I get it he’s probably easiest to carry but what were yall trying to achieve with that 😭

The fact that the Delanceys like,,actually got their asses beat like that shit kinda looked like it hurt 💀

SANTA FEEEE‼️ Iconic 😻

The way Crutchie screams for Jack ☹️ although that one “what ya say” meme where it starts playing after Oscar hits him has kinda ruined that scene for me cuz I keep laughing abt it 😕

That one two people cartwheel during the scene change

”I’m glad to have you back :)” “Shuddup” - Jack and Davey (THEY’RE GAY YOUR HONOUR)

There is literally no heterosexual explanation for that scene

THE LOOK DAVEY GIVES JACK WHEN THEY REALISE HE’S A SELLOUT

Once again literally no heterosexual explanation for that scene

Ok but literally just how much fun all of the newsies look like they’re having?? Especially in king of new york like they honestly look like they’re having the time of their lives 😭

“That’s disgusting” - David Jacobs, 1899 (when he’s a victorian newsboy who cares about hygiene 🥰🤭)

Ik Pulitzer saif it too but Idc ok the dude who played Pulitzer was kinda hot anyways (I don’t make the rules sorry 🤷‍♀️ [I am sorry for this tho my taste in men is uh 😨])

That one thing Jeremy does after he shakes Roosevelt’s hand for the first time 😭

”Your majesty” - Crutchie, 1899 (Referring to the governor 😭)

Maybe I should just make one of these with my favourite lines cuz I have so many

Honestly literally the whole fucking musical it was iconic and I am forever grateful that it exists 😻

Honestly there’s probably so so so much more but that’s all I can like,,fully remember rn but I’ll definitely rewatch it and update this lmao

Overall I absolutely adore the musical, and I’m glad the proshot exists cuz it is I c o n i c (also I am totally gonna make a list of my favourite lines from it lmao)

[marky-iplier]

Bactor, wholesome Bactor? Pretty please with a cherry on top 🥺👉👈

Of course! Here u go :3 I'm not sure if this counts as wholesome but I tried sobs

Unexpected Confession (Actor!Mark x Butler Ben)

Valentine's Day. A day filled with love. However, not for Mark, perhaps. His, well now, ex-wife, had divorced him so he wasn't sure what to do on the day. He didn't have any ongoing project, he couldn't just stay in his manor for Valentine's Day. That would be sad. But, in reality, he did have someone to spend with and he finally knew what to do.

Ben's POV

I just finished dressing up in my room, just another day being a butler. It was around 8 in the morning and Master was not awake yet. He told me he wanted to go out and get some things for tonight. He wanted me to wake him up if he hadn't woken up after 9 AM.

After weeks of him, being alone, it felt miserable to see him being broken and sad. I also had this feeling that I tried to push away to maintain professionalism over being personal. It was hard, really hard but I couldn't help it. It was a job I needed to face. The news of the divorce saddened me but somehow I felt relieved. I wasn’t sure what I was feeling.

I went up to his room and opened the curtain, he just rolled over under his blanket, facing away from the window. I grabbed his iconic dark red silky robe and hung it on the bed frame,

“Can you turn off the lamp, please?” he groaned, plumping his face on the pillow. 

“Sir, it’s already past 8. I am afraid you need to wake up due to your schedule today,” I said. I grabbed some of his clothes on the floor and put them away in the laundry basket, then stood beside him to give him his robe when he finally stood up,

“Fuck, is it today? What date is it?” He wiped his eyes with the heel of his hand, “14th February. It is Valentine’s Day.”

“Oh, yeah. Is the driver here already?” he asked while standing up on the side of the table, I gave him his robe as he covered his half-naked body was only covered with negligees. I looked at my watch, “He will be here in 15 minutes, sir.”

“That’s enough time to get ready. Oh yeah, you’re coming with me for today,” he blurted. I was surprised, usually when he went out, I would stay in the manor to make sure everything was okay.

“Pardon?” I needed to make sure what I heard was correct. Him? Asking me to go with him?

“Yes, you’re coming with me to go out today. Now, will you excuse me, I need to get ready.” He went past me, heading to his bathroom.

I just stood there, trying to process what was going on. I did not expect that. This was going to be nice. I went downstairs to make sure the chef was already cooking breakfast for all of us.

“Is the breakfast ready?” I asked, walking inside the kitchen. The chef put down a plate of bacon, egg, and toast on the counter. Then, another plate of pancakes. I just grabbed two pieces of toast for myself from the stack of cooked toast, since I hadn’t had my breakfast.

"Oh yeah, have fun on your go out," the chef teased, smiling to himself while cooking breakfast for himself. I just turned around and looked at him confusingly, "How did you know?"

"I know everything in this house. Don't ask." Huh. Although I tried not to think about it too much, he was right. The chef knew about everything and everyone in this house because of his little buddy. I put down the plate of breakfast on the dining table, along with the utensils. I went to the bar to make his favorite morning cocktail, Mimosa.

It took me a couple of minutes to make the drink, and without delay, after finishing it, I went to the dining table to put down his drink. Everything was settled. I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder which caused me to jump a bit, "Well, isn't this a wonderful morning, don't you think, Ben?" 

I exhaled, "Yes, indeed. I should check on the driver to get us ready, sir." Before I walked out of the room, he called my name, "Ben. Hold on. Why don't you sit down here with me? You can have these pancakes. Enjoy the morning with me,"

"Oh, I don't think that is necessary. I already had my own feast for this morning." He was still insisting, pushing the plate of pancakes to the empty side of the table in front of him,

"Please, I insist. I don't want to get too full." He took a bite of his toast. I couldn't resist his plead. I smiled and sat down in front of him, grabbing the utensils in the middle of the table. 

"Thank you," I said before eating the pancakes. He opened his mouth which was slightly full from the meal, "Yeah, yeah, no problem."

The breakfast was silent. This wasn't the first time he did this, it was pretty common so it wasn't something special. He just wanted to have someone to eat with after his divorce. I finished my food faster than him, oddly, because his food had less portion than mine. 

"I shall check on the driver now." I wiped my mouth and got up from my seat, heading to the front door. 

The car was ready and parked perfectly. I smiled and headed back to the dining table, "Sir, the car is waiting for you." He just finished drinking, "Oh my god, you know me so well, Ben. I will wait for you in the car, okay?" He tapped me on the shoulder. I grabbed the empty dirty plates, glasses, and utensils on the table to put them away in the sink. The chef was enjoying his food on the counter, "Here are the dirty dishes. I will go now."

"Yeah, man. Enjoy your time," he said. I went outside to where the car was, the passenger front seat was empty because Master took the back seat, his favorite seat. 

"Good Morning, Butler Ben," the driver greeted me when I got in.

"Good Morning."

"So, are we going to the Boutique, Mr. Iplier?" He looked up while reading a magazine, "Oh yeah, yeah. You know which one. Also, can you play another radio channel too? I'm kinda getting bored with this one. You know, to try something new," he said as he continued reading the magazine.

"Of course, anything for you, sir." The driver changed the radio channel as the car started, driving to one of the most popular department stores, I. Magnin.

The day went on, it was about a 45-minute drive from the manor. We went through the department store to get a new suit but the size seemed to be bigger than his. Odd. He also got a box of chocolate, a flower bouquet, and a wrapped gift. It wasn't much for him, was he going on a date? He looked at the time, we had been there for more than an hour. Why did it hurt me a bit knowing he got a new date?

"It seemed like that's all. We should head back now, don't want to miss my afternoon nap," he said while stretching his body. The Driver and I were just assisting him with his shopping bags. We just walked around the department store for quite a long time now. 

We headed back to the car, putting the items beside him as I went to the front passenger seat. Master was just sitting there in the back while crossing his legs while we drove back to the manor.

Third Person POV

Timeskip

Time passed by, and Actor Mark was getting ready for something. It was almost sunset, Ben on the other hand was cleaning up the house. The thought of Mark going on a date was stuck in his head, hurting him inside. He had been on the first floor for the whole afternoon since Mark had told him not to go upstairs because he didn't want to be bothered? So, he did what he asked, not going upstairs. 

After cleaning, Ben decided to head back to his room and clean up, taking a shower. He didn't have much plan that evening, perhaps, reading a book would help past the time.

--

There were knocks on the door while he was fixing his tie after showering, and he wasn't sure who it was, the door was then opened, and it was The Chef, "Ben, Mark wants to see you upstairs on the balcony, he said that he needed help to prepare for his date or something." Ben looked at him, he needed to examine his facial reaction just in case he was messing around with him since he always did that to him,

"How can I be sure that you're not messing with me?"

"See it for yourself, man. You know how it is when Mark is mad." He narrowed his eyes as he walked past him, heading upstairs to the balcony.

The sun was slowly setting, it was a beautiful view along with dim lights from the city in the distance. He walked out to see a table set, the tablecloth, a vase of roses, candelabra, utensils, glasses, and plates. He didn't set this for sure. There was also the chocolate box and bouquet on one of the chairs. Ben felt relieved knowing Mark wouldn't be as miserable as he was after the divorce but again, a scar was made along the relief. 

'Wait, he's not here. Chef, I'm gonna come for yo-'

"Ah! Ben! There you are!" The familiar voice appeared behind me, he was admiring how amazing Actor looked in the suit, it was a different suit that I hadn't seen before, it wasn't the one that he bought. He shook his head a bit to brush off the thoughts, noticing he was holding two boxes that were wrapped beautifully.

"What do you need me for, sir?" he asked. Actor sat down on the opposite chair from where the bouquet and chocolate box were,

"How do I look?" he asked while facing me. 'Beautiful' 

"You look amazing, sir. Who is the lucky one if I may ask?" 

"Well..." He got up and looked down at the boxes, Ben was waiting for the answer nervously and anxiously. 

"One of the most amazing people I ever met." He smiled to himself, "I'm sure the person must've felt lucky to have you, si-"

"... and he's standing in front of me." 

Ben's POV

What? 

I was shocked by what he said. Me? No. The feelings that I had pushed aside came back at me. I could feel my cheeks heating up, I mean, he meant it as a friend, perhaps,

"I wasn't sure when the feeling appeared but every time you were there for me, it was like the first time feeling love again. I love you, Ben. Happy Valentine's Day," he softly said. His hands extended to me, lending me the boxes of gifts.

"You should try the suit, I'm sure it looks good on you," I was still speechless about what was going on but gracefully accepted the gifts. All this time, he also had the same feeling as me, perhaps burying it down. Or was he waiting for this moment to come?

"I... I am sorry. I am out of words. Thank you. I..." He was waiting for my answer, I couldn't form words in my head, "I also have been feeling the same way. I was just afraid that it would ruin my job." There I said it.

"Oh, Ben..." he stopped for a moment, "I noticed it, I was just waiting for this moment. I just thought that maybe it'd be more romantic if we do it right here, at this moment, during Valentine's Day." I smiled to myself, what were these butterflies feeling in my stomach? Should I just do it? Do it, Ben. Kiss him.

I put down the boxes on the chair. I turned around to face him as we both got closer, I could feel my heart beating faster, slightly sweating. I was taller than him so I needed to look down to see his eyes, I put my hand on his waist and slowly leaned down, planting my lips on his. He smiled and kissed me back. 

After waiting, it felt amazing. All those emotions just felt fulfilled. The connection and chemistry were strong, I could feel them. It was passionate. It wasn't long until I let go, "I should try on the suit now. Again, thank you, sir."

"Please, call me Mark from now on." I grabbed the bigger box, "I will."

I went to change to the new suit for the date tonight. The date that I didn't expect. 

It was truly planted as a core memory for me.

How did you came up with the names for Benji and Rosie?

Welp, since Uncle Ben is someone iconic within the spiderman universe, and there are even some spidermen named Benjamin, I wanted to keep the name :3. I didn't want to use a latino name for Benji since, well, they're too common and overused lol. Wanted something meaningful jskjs 😊.

As for Rosie, ever since I read the name in a Pinterest board, I loved it. Plus I love roses, I'm in constant contact with them while cooking, so it came easier to settle for it.

And her second name Michelle, it's a little plaything for Miguel's name. 🤭. So she has a bit of Mama and Miguel ❤️.
