#benrey being a tease

[goopysloppyslobsop]

Kinda late but I had a ton of fun even if artblock ran up from behind me and gut stabbed me when I wasn’t looking while working on this. But it’s here alive and well! Dtiys ran by dearest moot @ladylunora wonderful art, I thank them for supplying more vampires I needed in my life.

[bunny-heels]

like being completely honest to me it was obvious that it wasnt hl2vrai.

Wayne was extremely burnt out from the gnome streams and all the production value that went into it. Baaulp didn't enjoy playing Tommy. And all the crew just kept making jokes about making spin-off stuff with Benrey. and that teaser that was made was way too like. idk "high-production" bait. i just knew in my heart it wasn't real.

i also don't know how to explain how i feel about the people who are genuinely upset that its not real. like i understand being like "oh i do wish it was hl2vrai but im fine with this", but to the people that are GENUINELY really upset and feel like they were "mean spirited" for baiting them for a week. idk it just.

idk how to word this other than i think those people need to sit back and realize this isnt like a serious deep franchise that has a lot of production and character development and hard story elements. these are just friends playing gmod.

i mean compared to fans of Half-Life that were literally lied to and teased at for over 15+ years and the company making jokes about making the fans wait so long. this hl2vrai stuff isn't on that same level.

so just. calm down okay? i mean this in a very lighthearted way: its not the end of the world. so either enjoy these guys butchering breaking bad or go draw some hlvrai stuff. draw benrey kissing gordon or tommy giving sunkist a soda. go and chill out. have a good night.

I'm curious to know what the siblings think of each other.

Thank you for question!

🔲 Benrey does not particularly show his love because it is "cringe", but he really worries about them and, if anything will happen, will at least show his concern (during cascade resonance, for example. He often visited them and watched them). Considers Alex as a nerd and thinks that she does not know how to have fun, often teases her and bullies her. However, he understands that she is doing quite an important and useful thing, so he does not cross the line too much, so as not to..blow her up once again. With Lee, he is friendly and courteous enough (because she is still a child in fact), they often have fun together and while she is still repeating after the elders, he teaches her all sorts of "cool and mandatory" (in his opinion) things, such as holding a gamepad and doing 360 no scope in fps games.

▶︎ Alex does everything she does for the sake of these two and even got a little lost in it. She is close enough to Benrey to have a heart-to-heart conversation with him, but they prefer not to use this closeness, and that's why they quarrel on the basis of various problems and minor skirmishes. However, she respects and loves her older brother no matter what. At first she did not accept Lee and treated her very coldly, thinking that she would take her place as a "favourite sister", but over time she fell in love with her and now tries to be friends and be close enough too. Unlike Benrey, Alex tries to teach Lee the "right and useful" things.

◯ Lee, in turn, since she is the youngest, still sees almost no troubles. If the elders quarrel, she reconciles them, calms Alex down, and slows Benrey down. She loves her elders with pure childish love. She sits with them every day (they live in the same house (BEFORE BENREY MOVED IN WITH GORDON)), plays and having fun. She loves listening to Benrey's made-up stories, often takes a walks with him, and it was he, by the way, who taught her all sorts of abilities.. Alex is a great support for her, she will definitely be safe with her. Although Alex can be a bore, and an evil bore, Lee is delighted with how Alex looks when furious, that's why she also started wanted to become a "villain" and always watches the elder, follows her when work allows (they are almost always together at work, at lunch break). Alex taught her the human mentality and "how to be a human being."

Important PS: Everyone has their disadvantages, but everyone loves each other equally! They may not be exactly brothers and sisters, but their relationship can be described in a human word: "Siblings".

please tell me more about your au with benrey x gordon x barney

like I want to know how benrey and barney are specifically, i'm very curious

I am SO SO GLAD that you're asking about my lore/ship because I want to share more about my goobers and their universe!

Note: I do NOT know the entirety of Half-Life. I was making lore for my TSP (The Stanley Parable) universe which is a part of a multiverse. I watched HLVRAI by mistake when I mistook Benry for Barney and I just love HLVRAI and Benry that it’s hard not to put it in the lore.

About the Ship - GeeBees:

A proper love triangle where all three love, respect, and care for each other.

Gordon (he/him; FTM) is curious and everything about Benry fascinates him. Barney and Gordon are childhood friends and had become lovers after HL2 with Barney helping Gordon recover. Gordon would much prefer both his lovers safe and unhurt but understood that that'll happen once the Resistance finds a bigger base for shelter. Now, he stays at home taking care of himself and helping when needed, otherwise, he'd cuddle Benry and Barney when one or both are back home. He enjoys giving and receiving physical affection to his lovers and despises silence, so it's a blessing to have two lovers who make all the sounds they want around him. He was the reason why Benry sleeps between him and Barney after Benry warded off G-Man one night.

Benry is healing with Gordon and Barney for the better, he helps around with them and the Resistance base, and his affection is reciprocated and returned tenfold, it’s worse in a good way when Gordon and Barney proudly one-up Benry’s weirdness. He adores Gordon and is happy that he doesn't find him weird in a bad way and it does surprise him at first back at the simulation, but he grew to love his curious yet freaky nature of Gordon as he'd too learn new things about himself (like his true form(s), shapeshifting and purring). Barney and Benry just GET each other as they've experienced being left in the background and Barney could easily pick up Benry who is fine with being carried by hot people.

Barney had always been taking care of the two and making sure to not lose Gordon again, because of Benrey, Barney feels validated on his feelings and anxieties while also letting Benry help him around, though he does like to lightheartedly tease Benry. Barney and Gordon being childhood friends helped a lot on their relationship and meeting Benry somehow strengthened their bond as the duo became a trio. Benry and Gordon would pay Barney back for taking care of them by taking care of him too. Benry even helps by shapeshifting into Barney to take his place at Combine when Barney's unable to work. And when Barney's anxieties get to him, Benry can purr and sing some blue balls into his mouth to calm him.

More on the Giftverse AU and how GeeBees got along under "Keep Reading" cuz' this is too long ^^;

If you or anyone reading this has questions, reblog, comment/reply, DM, and even ASK me because I'd love to tell more! ^^

I have AUs for this ship, just to let you know ^^

What happened in this AU?

The interesting things that happened BEFORE that: 

Benrey and the Science Team (Tommy, Bubby, Dr. Coomer, Darnold, and Forzen) were put into a simulation that would later be HLVRAI.

Gordon and Barney are childhood friends who managed to stay in contact and meet again in Black Mesa.

After Black Mesa put Benrey and his Science Team in the simulation, they all were put into this sort of hibernation until a player arrived and dons the in-game HEV suit as “Gordon Freeman”. This happened 3 times, according to Benry, and the gameplay is different each time. Before being put in the simulation though, Benrey took and hid a master code of the simulation which lets him do whatever he wants with the map and story of the game. The first “player” (2010) was a guide who helped take the Science Team around the Black Mesa map, and Benry named them “Puter”. Sadly, Puter’s data and memory were erased to make way for the second player (2020) “Feetman” and started what we all know as “HLVRAI” and Benry changed the story and gameplay of the simulation because he thought it was boring.

The third player (2030), after the simulation erased the data and memory of the game model, is both Gordon and Barney who exchange because Gordon takes mandatory naps to recover from his PTSD and morphine rehab, and Benrey feels hope on leaving the simulation just to see them face-to-face.

After the events of ResCas and Gordon waking up from Stasis to Half-Life 2, Gordon gets together with Barney and maintains a platonic/sibling bond with Alyx, who then gets taken to Stasis by G-Man. Gordon HAS witnessed Eli dying, only to see him fine yet grieving Alyx’s disappearance (2020). That made Gordon DESPISE G-Man.

How GeeBees met?

Gordon and Barney reside together in the White Forest Resistance base. The apocalypse is nearing its end (2030), but Gordon and Barney are more happy about being a couple after so long. One day though, Gordon opened the door to G-Man who gave him an errand of the day: Play a game and retrieve something important, and as he appeared, he left suddenly. He also left a Playstation 2 console in a box by Gordon’s doorstep, and Barney helped Gordon set it up while unsure of what G-Man was planning. Along with the console was a VR set and a game CD with a blank cover and “Half-Life VR” written on the disc with black marker.

Gordon put on the game and the headset, he expected anything but a shitty yet semi-accurate environment that was the entrance of Black Mesa. Barney, who was behind Gordon and watching the TV screen, couldn’t believe it either. Gordon was starting to panic as he remembered all that happened during the day ResCas happened and Barney and Gordon were trying to figure out who was sick enough to make a game on the thing that started the apocalypse and what would they say to Eli and Issac. All their worries were halted after they heard a deadpan voice “hey. can i see your passport?”. And that’s when their lives changed for the better.

Long story short: Gordon and Barney take turns playing the game with Benry and the Science Team guiding them, Gordon’s worries about the game lessened when important events that had happened were changed into something more lighthearted. After playing the game (which Gordon and Barney didn’t want to do), Benrey managed to get him and the Science Team into Gordon and Barney’s shared phone before Gordon and Barney could figure out how to get them out of the digital space. 

After that, Benrey stays with Gordon and Barney while everyone else wants to live elsewhere around the base. It was tough for the Science Team to come to terms with the fact that they were no longer in a simulation and that the ResCas was an actual event (and also the fact that Benrey is meeting the ACTUAL infamous Gordon Freeman who he first heard from the researchers before he was put into the simulation) but in the end, they want to help the Resistance.

More does happen after, Issac adopts Bubby as his brother (Bubby being cloned from Issac), Tommy helps with retrieving Alyx and another OC of mine out of G-Man’s Stasis, and Benrey helps Barney by shapeshifting as him at Combine as well as getting to sleep between Gordon and Barney to keep G-Man away.

And this is practically fanon in my lore, but Giftverse! Gordon, Barney, and Benry get to meet their alternate AU versions of themselves.

Sorry this is too long, so here's Benry's "Gordon Freakman"

[blacktobackmesa]

Happy Valenday Times, everyone! In honor of the day, I'm going to talk about relationships in the Streamman series. And I still haven't figured out how to add a Read More on mobile!

♥️ Bubby and Coomer are an established couple. We all know this. They have a long-standing relationship stretching back many years, and got married on paper to exploit a loophole. Now that they're free from Black Mesa's watchful eye, they can take comfort in knowing they don't just need each other for survival in a cold, unfair situation-- they're just as important to each other in this happy ending.

♥️ I'm not going to make it canon that they have a thing going with G-Man but I am also not going to NOT make it canon. Mr. Coolatta is happy to be in their lives.

♥️ Tommy and Darnold don't know if they're dating each other. Are either of them alloromantic in the first place? Unclear. Maybe they'll have an official conversation sometime, but they're very happy with the dynamic they have. It's a kind of love without a label.

♥️ Benrey is into Gordon for sure, but he doesn't expect it to be reciprocated. He spends the first few years in the Home program translating his pining into teasing while trying to be the kind of person Gordon would deserve. This works out, since Gordon's the kind of person who needs time to develop romantic affection. Demiromantic AF. Do the kids still say af? Anyway. He needed time to get to know Benrey, and Benrey needed time to understand himself before he could commit to any healthy relationship.

♥️ Once they ARE official, dating is a wild new frontier. Benrey's favorite style of date night is when he slips into his Xen form and video chats with Gordon, full 1080p webcam (something the other AI can't process). They could be talking about watching paint dry for all Benrey cares, he just loves both of them being able to share their True Forms with each other.

[year2000electronics]

Hi, just being curious, what do you think is the greatest difficulty you’ve faced carrying out the storyline in your ask blogs (aside from potential burnout)?

Is there any time where the asks were not going towards the direction where you’d want them to go, and how did you steer the story back on track?

Do you have any techniques giving out clues or keeping the pace of the ask blog?

[sorry these are a lot. Of questions. It’s just, it’s amazing how you are able to run multiple successful askblogs, and I’m curious how you did it]

OOOH THESE ARE SOME INTERESTING QUESTIONS! really pickin at my old noggin here...

id say probably the most difficult part is like... ok through my tenure ive obviously had some physically taxing moments, moments of people being way too mean, people being way too NICE, people complaining that every single member of a giant ensemble cast doesnt get the exact same amount of screentime etc etc, but id honestly say the hardest part is just. making the medium Work. when i run an ask blog like this, im basically asking people to drive the story forward with no promise of whether their choices even like. Matter. if youre not tethered enough to your asks, it can feel like youre just asking people to put a coin in the slot and letting the story play for another page. you have to play this balancing act of wanting to tell the story you want to tell while also needing peoples' help to get there. thats why an engaging story and endearing characters are so important. i wound up telling people here on my main that y2k would end with a good ending specifically because i got people concerned i genuinely would end it with a Bad End, but still even knowing that people would tune in. so its like. i always have to make sure its Engaging enough. for people to be willing to play this game with me at all. the hardest part of fishing is getting the fish to bite yk.

2. YES ALL THE TIME LOLLLL a lot of the time i will end up either picking an ask from before the topic came up and answer that one, or plant my own decoy ask. basically jingling keys at people HJSSKHASGK. but sometimes even that doesnt work! benrey in y2k has a very touchy complex about his helmet specifically because I DIDNT HAVE SPRITES WITH HIS HAIR. and i thought that his hair was kinda boring compared to what people were probably expecting (its very short and simple i draw his hair like bootleg barney) so i ended up having to answer that little thread by having an explosion and then presenting my own resolution (gordon calm him down :)) i like to think ive gotten better at key jingling though haha. usually the two types of key jingling topics i find work best are either little plot teases or a 'now back to what we were doing' ask, but if you dont want things to advance quite yet, i usually use questions that will elaborate on a character trait or introduce a new character fact

3. dont be me. /j ok actually the thing about this specific medium is like. people will send me asks guessing my twists WAAAAY early on but the thing is i can just. choose not to answer them. hehe. id personally pay attention to how often people are guessing your twists though because like. its BOUND to happen if you lay out clues some people will pick up on them. if theres not a lot of people guessing, then you can lean more into the big sting reveals of like 'NOOOOBODY EXPECTED THIS' but when a lot of people have guessed the twist, i usually make sure to present it in a way that doesnt imply that there was nobody on the right trail or that people got bamboozled. as for the clues themselves. well im about to figure that out myself again! i have some clues i need to lay in bmfe!! dont get discouraged if people pick up on what you thought was really subtle, cos like. literal day 1 of episode 3 someone literally made a powerpoint saying 'LEADING LIGHT IS BACK' and i was like ok i was just on my first crumb DAMN. as for pacing, it doesnt matter if you get the blog done in one month or one year- what does matter is PLANNING. if you know what your goal is, what your landmarks and checkpoints are, youll be able to stagger stuff successfully no matter the length. some of the best-recieved parts of y2kvr were parts i went into the session going 'this is my goal for today' for. the goals dont even have to big, it could even be something as small as like 'get from place a to place b'

SORRY THIS GOT LONG but ty for the question! reflecting on my process is interesting :]

[charliesinfern0]

BENREY HI . 😍😳🎁🎶 for your courier and yes man !!! hoping your time to decompress has been working out for you and that this week treats you well :)

Self Ship Ask Game

ANON HI!!! my week has been... well it's been a week. ty for the kind words though! im hoping it will get better :)

😍 - When or how did you realize you fell in love with your f/o? How or when did your f/o realize they fell in love with you?

It was when Yes Man had invited Courier to the top of the ridge overlooking New Vegas, shining like a desert jewel in the middle of the Mojave Wasteland. While he talked excitedly about how the strip was now powered independently from the dam, Courier felt... a lot more confident about their future, like they actually had a future to look forward to. They honestly didn't know what to do with themself after they killed Benny, and after they met Yes man and came up with a plan to take over Vegas, they still felt unsure. They were literally just a mailman a few months ago, and now it felt like some crazy pipe dream they never knew they had was coming true. They shared their excitement with Yes Man, enraptured by the lights, feeling the warmth radiate off of Yes Man's metal body... Yeah, they could get used to this, having a future with Yes Man....

And thats when they finally realized what they had gotten themself into.

And that's also when Yes Man suddenly became very distracted by the Courier's eyes! Wow, he knows they came here to look at the lights of New Vegas, but their eyes were even brighter and shinier, he could even see his screen reflected in them. But it'd be weird to tell them that, wouldn't it? It would be redundant, they probably already know how pretty their eyes look, they look in they mirror every morning! And he wouldn't want to put a damper on their excitement by being weird. Yeah, it'd just be weird....

They should probably head back to the Lucky 38. There's a lot more they have to do before the battle at the dam.

It wouldn't be until after his assertiveness update, when he finally reunited with Courier, that he finally realized what he was feeling all those times when the Courier made a dumb joke or acted like a dork, when they gave him a reassuring pat on his chassis or held his hand, when they smiled up at him and said his name...

He'd fallen for them, every single time.

😳 - How does your f/o fluster you? How do you fluster your f/o?

Yes Man flusters the Courier just by complimenting them! They can’t take a compliment to save their life lol. He first noticed this when they had gotten back from the Ultra Luxe, clad in a fancy white dress they used as a disguise to go undercover. Naturally he complimented them, I mean, who wouldn’t? It was very clever of them to disguise themself to take care of the White Glove Society from the inside, and it helped that they looked absolutely gorgeous in that dress! But the Courier just… stopped in their tracks, and then stumbled out a thank you. Any praise he gave them was met with a bashful response. He thought it was… very endearing! He kept it professional though, only relating to their handiwork around the Strip and the Mojave. He��� didn’t want to say too much. After his assertiveness update though, he realized just how obvious it was that he liked them, and also noticed how clueless Courier was to that fact. So, after they finally confessed to one another, the compliments (and the teasing!) came out in full force. They were adorable when they smiled, when they were confused, when they were irritated, and he made sure to let them know.

Courier flusters Yes Man by just… being so earnest. They really do value him as a partner, and it would just make sense to let him know how much they appreciate them. He also gets really flustered when Courier touches him, like when they hold his hand or lightly touch his screen or make small repairs, because they’re always so gentle and reassuring. 

Though, before his update he didn’t really come off as flustered? Whenever they praised or complimented him or smiled at him, he would just… pause for a good few seconds before responding, like he had to take a while to think of what he wanted to say next. Of course, Courier didn’t know that they could even fluster Yes Man because of his programming, and they didn’t think they were capable of catching anybody’s attention like that. They were completely clueless up until Yes Man explicitly said that he liked them when they reunited after the battle at the dam. After his update, it was a lot more apparent that he was flustered, because he would pause and then fumble over his words, and he could actually change his expression to something that looked something like embarrassment, and Courier had noticed that his screen would flicker and internal mechanisms would heat up more (something that had happened before, but Courier thought it was just minor malfunctions. Upon realizing just how obvious it was that Yes Man had indeed liked them back for all that time, they just laughed and succumbed to his teasing, happy that he still loved them even if they were an idiot).

😚 - What was your first kiss like?

I already answered the gift giving question here, so I thought I'd answer this question instead, I hope thats ok >//<

But ummm... I think it would be when they confessed to each other, after they each reassured the other that yes, they did like them back ("..." "......" "....You like me?" "I... yes? I mean- Yes! I'm sorry, I didn't mean for that to come out as a question, it's just that your lack of response had me thinking that maybe this wasn't such a good idea-" *Courier grabs his hand* "I like to too!" "You... like me too?" "Yes!!")

They would both just be so giddy in the moment, Courier would just ask "Can I kiss you?" and Yes Man would respond enthusiastically "Please!", and then Courier would plant a kiss right on his screen, and he'd hug them closer, his body getting warmer and his internal fans getting louder. Courier would chuckle when they pull away and see Yes Man's lovestruck look on his face, along with the smudge they had made on his screen.

🎶 - What song/lyrics remind you of your f/o?

This song makes me think of Yes Man so much T_T When I first heard it in the game I was like oh.... where has he been all my life?

But um I like to imagine a scene where it's late at night and Courier is sitting at the VIP lounge in the Lucky 38 and they have the radio on and Yes Man joins them and then Courier asks him to dance with them. They go to the middle of the casino and just sway to the music, and Courier is a little tipsy so they just lean against Yes Man, and he's looking at them and just taking in how amazing they look right now, and he hugs them close, and just like..... the lyrics of the song, its the lyrics of the song!!! it's like a dream to him and he hopes he never wakes up, and he's so happy that Courier is in his life now, and it feels like it's just beginning, and he wants to spend it all with them!!!!!!

I also have to put I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire here, because like!!! I just love this song, and the first time I heard it was actually in the official Fallout Minecraft map that I played when I was younger and had no idea what Fallout was, and it became on of my favorite songs, and then yknow I'm into Fallout now, so it came full circle! ^_^ Anyway, i think this song is like from the Courier's perspective, they just love Yes Man and want to be with him and yeah <3

[butchbenrey]

Are there any theories, predictions, or hopes you experience in regards to hl2vrai?

Also, consider this: benrey that is of copious spikes

god i have a complicated relationship with the idea of hl2vrai for so many reasons, most of them being really personal so i dont have as many theories or expectations as youd might think. the whole announcement and trailer happened during a really rough period of my life so the whole thing kinda has the ooze for me. still, i know i'll watch it when it comes out. i can't not, hlvrai has been my whole thing for nearly 3 years now.

as far as what i expect to happen, i think benrey probably wont come back. or if he does, itll be for a gag or something. this is gonna sound so bitter (because it admittedly is) but it seems like the crew is largely obsessed with teasing their fans for liking benrey too much and i imagine theyll keep dangling him over our heads. maybe thats too cynical, i dunno. i honestly don't think most of the science team will be returning? like obviously gordon, coomer, and g-man will, and people have theorized that tommy is that second g-man we saw which i can definitely get behind. but baaulp didn't like playing tommy and i don't get the vibe that gir is particularly attached to bubby either. i imagine the crew would wanna switch things up because they're notoriously unpredictable.

also, from the moment i saw alyx with a fat cigar in the trailer i've been pretty confident mira will play her, which i was initially really hyped for but now have complicated feelings about (again, for personal reasons).

speaking of alyx, i definitely don't think the gnome himself is coming back but i do think that the gnome series will have something to do with hl2vrai. ever since the gnome finale theater scene with the peppa pig monologue i've assumed "the girl" that "gordon" would meet soon was alyx. i imagine she'll have some memory of the gnome series somehow, or she'll have some knowledge of the higher powers at play (like whatever the fuck gaben was talking about wrt his games being their own entities and shit) or whatever. i wouldn't be surprised if they built on that meta aspect of the gnome series and make the game of half life 2 itself its own sort of character in a way. like, the nature of the copy of half life vr that "gordon" was playing within the fiction of hlvrai was left really ambiguous. "gordon" questioned it of course and was baffled by the weird ai but eventually just came to accept it. it was only truly interrogated by coomer at the very end, and not for long. but with the trailer for hl2vrai being narrated by coomer and having such a focus on how the ais were left to rot without the player, it seems like the meta aspects of the story will come into a bit more focus. but also, maybe not. because as much as the gnome series toyed with examining the nature of the game, most of it was ultimately left ambiguous. we'll see, i guess.

those are my expectations and predictions. my hope is that it's not as cynically self-referential as the brba stream and everything surrounding it was. ultimately i don't care if benrey's not in it, i don't care if none of my predictions are true, i don't care if it's wildly different from hlvrai in every way. they'll make a high quality work of art no matter what. i just don't want it to have that same weird mild contempt for hlvrai fans that i had seen not just in the brba stream but also cropping up here and there in other streams. like, the "stay tuned and benrey will be at the end of the stream" joke was funny maybe for the first 3 times but after that it just got really tiring. i think rtvs has every right to not be happy with their fans and they don't owe us anything but that doesn't mean i have to like it when they're mean about it, y'know? it just gets old really quickly and i don't super love being the butt of the joke just for being a big fan of a series they made. shrugs.

alternate answer: i hope the sacred texts come true

[gmanwhore]

Benrey would tease them about being together, Tommy doesn't mind because sibling stuff but Gordon looks at Benrey judging him and killing him with his mind (can't kill him physically + BF is there)

As it should be Thing I have to say: Coomer can carry the entire science team all at the same time

[dislocated-thumbs]

i like to imagine bubby and benrey being annoying little mfs and doing the *nudge nudge* [insert gordon tease here] and both laughing their asses off together abt it but whenever benrey does it it’s either totally incomprehensible or the weirdest sentence you’ve ever heard

[rapidhighway]

Those three being together would be hilarious. Gordon has the braincell but the others have majority. Gordon couldn't get away with not taking care of himself. If Benrey had a bad day he could either have Gordon distract him with teasing or Tommy for more serious chats or both of them for cuddles. But clearly the winner here is Sunkist, who gets THREE guys to receive pets from!

JKDDKJVISISVFSKJSJF ALL OF THIS IS PERFECT

Love wins

[hlvraik]

well, at least now gordon knows what tommy feels like when he calls him a five year old😂

Pfffffft, if only he KNEW

Being four now and fresh off of a birthday, they now believe that they're 'soooo mature now', and no it isn't because that's what their mom said. So with that, it's no wonder why they have such a visceral reaction to anybody, including even the science team, getting their age wrong, mistake or not.

That doesn't stop Benrey from occasionally teasing him, however.

Based on this post!!

[apricotzel]

“IT’S NOT A ROPE!” Gordon yells at the familiar cry of ‘Help me, Gordon!’ Dr. Coomer lets out.

The entire Science Team makes quick work of the…whatever it was on the ceiling. Barnacle. Sure. They’re called that now.

Coomer drops to the floor, peering upwards at the barnacles in front of them.

“Look, Gordon!” Coomer explains cheerily, walking towards them, “Ropes! We can-“

“Stop!” Gordon shouts, grabbing the older man’s arm and pulling him back. “Stop it!”

“What’s the matter, Mr. Freeman?” Tommy questions, yellow eyes wide and head tilted.

Gordon makes a strangled noise, almost feeling his sanity thin like a frayed piece of yarn about to snap.

“Let’s take a rest,” They say instead, dropping to their knees.

“Right here?” Coomer asks.

“Yes,” Gordon replies shortly.

“But we just got moving you lazy slouch,” Bubby complains, “At least-“

“I DON’T CARE!” Gordon yells, then immediately lowers his voice, “I don’t care.”

Bubby pauses, and Gordon half expects to be set on fire. But instead the scientist just grumbles something and stalks to the side of the hallway, sliding down on the wall. Tommy and Coomer hesitantly follow Bubby’s lead, until it’s Gordon on one side of the hallway and all the rest sitting on the other.

Well, almost all the rest.

Benrey stands there right next to Gordon, staring down at them.

“You good? Little baby man? Gordon Madman a little stressed out?” Benrey teases.

Gordon, almost on instinct, tunes it out. Their hands are shaking- their whole body is trembling like a leaf- and his breath is short. He can’t deal with getting into an argument with Benrey right now.

Benrey is saying some more stuff, but it all fuzzes in Gordon’s head like static as he rests there on his knees, staring blankly into nothing.

They wonder, briefly, if this will be the end. If he dies in Black Mesa, like he is so sure he will, he’ll be forgotten. Just like all the other people down here.

Right when they begin to wonder what the point in even trying was, they become aware that Benrey’s crouching in front of them, one hand placed to steady itself and the other waving as if trying to get Gordon’s attention.

“-don. Gordon. Gordon,” Benrey is repeating in a monotone voice, gray eyes burning into Gordon’s brown ones.

“What?” Gordon hisses, irritation filing in, replacing his existential dread.

“Are you good, bro?” Benrey repeats. This time the question seems less mocking and more…genuine, if Gordon could believe that Benrey could actually care about someone else. “You’re no fun if you just stare off into space. Like someone hit pause on you. You lagging?”

Gordon shakes his head, “No, I’m not lagging, Benrey. I’m traumatized. And fucking tired.”

Their voice breaks on the last word and they brace for Benrey to mock them. Instead he smacks his lips awkwardly, eyes flitting around like he was looking for a hint.

In one swift motion, before Gordon could even begin to react, Benrey slips from its crouch to mimicking Gordon’s position and reaches forward, cupping Gordon’s face with one hand.

Gordon tenses at first, ready to pull back. He reaches his arm up to yank Benrey away before he’s hit with a sudden realization.

Benrey’s warm.

Somewhere along the lines Gordon had just assumed that Benrey’s skin would be freezing. Chalk it up to being immortal or something. Having Benrey’s skin touch his in a way that allowed him to actually feel the heat from the guard…

Benrey’s eyes widen in surprise as Gordon grabs his arm to press him closer, leaning into the touch.

Gordon’s eyes slide close and for a blissful moment the entirety of Black Mesa just fades away. It’s just Benrey’s warmth and him.

That moment is broken by Benrey’s own monotone voice.

“Wanna kiss?”

——-

“IT’S NOT A ROPE!”

Benrey feels a small twinge of amusement hearing the physician scream. It doesn’t move an inch as Gordon and company rain hell onto the Barnacle until Coomer is released from it, dropping to the floor with surprising agility.

Like clockwork, Coomer immediately begins walking to more of the dangerous things, reciting off his tip about ropes.

Gordon cuts him off this time, screeching at him to stop as he physically drags the scientist away.

Benrey raises one eyebrow subtly, this being the first time Gordon physically stopped Coomer from doing something.

“What’s the matter, Mr. Freeman?” Tommy asks, head tilting.

Gordon makes a noise like this is physically causing him pain and Benrey fixes him with a stare, wondering when a good time for him to jump in and tease his friend would be.

He watches with a bit of surprise as Gordon suddenly drops to their knees. “Let’s take a rest,” They decree.

“Right here?” Dr. Coomer asks, fixing Gordon with a concerned stare that Gordon misses. Oblivious as always.

“Yes.”

Gordon’s reply is clipped and curt, and Benrey is wondering if their somehow infinite patience was coming to an end.

“But we just got moving you lazy slouch, at least-“ Bubby starts, insulting as always.

Gordon suddenly explodes- and it’s not an unfamiliar sight- it’s just for once not directed at Benrey.

“I DON’T CARE!” They scream, and then for emphasis repeat, “I don’t care.”

Benrey presses its lips together in worry, meeting Bubby’s gaze. It gives a gentle shake of its head. No. Don’t do anything. That would totally ruin the prank later.

Bubby huffs and grumbles instead, Benrey staring him down until the clone slides down the wall. The rest of the team follows, until it’s just Benrey and Gordon.

Benrey fixes his friend with a stare, as it casually leans against the wall.

“You good?” Benrey starts. “Little baby man? Gordon Madman a little stressed out?”

Gordon, for once, ignores him entirely.

Benrey blinks, because that’s not right. Their friendship was built on going back and forth- why wasn’t Gordon firing back?

“Whuh? You too scared to even talk to me? Lame. Lame-o physician man. Couldn’t last a day in a COD lobby. Probably got freaked out playing Skyrim. You can’t…you can’t even hear me right now?” Benrey’s monotone voice dips into something more concern-like, noticing how Gordon was being completely unresponsive.

Throwing a glance at the rest of the Science Team, who seemed to be caught up in a discussion, Benrey pours more focus into Gordon. His friend was shaking head to toe, eyes completely blank as he stared at the wall.

“Gordon?” Benrey prompted. It didn’t know what to do in this situation, and decided the best thing would be to break the silent staring contest they were having with the wall.

“Gordon,” Benrey says again as he leans down in front of his friend. Calling someone’s name gets their attention, right? He waves his hand in front of Gordon’s face, trying to snap them out of their stupor.

“Gordon. Gordon. Gordon. Gordon,” Benrey repeats until Gordon’s eyes finally focus on him.

“What?” They ask in irritation.

Oh, good. They’re getting back to playing around. But just in case…

“Are you good, bro?” Benrey stresses again, searching Gordon’s eyes despite hating the direct eye contact. Benrey never understood the phrase that the eyes were the windows to the soul. All windows just lead to more testing rooms.

“You’re no fun if you just stare off into space. Like someone hit pause on you. You lagging?” Benrey clarifies, still trying to scan Gordon.

Gordon shakes his head, “No, I’m not lagging, Benrey. I’m traumatized. And fucking tired.”

Their voice cracks and something in Benrey’s chest tugs at how utterly…defeated they sound. Something sad but also angry, wanting to grow big and promise Gordon that it was okay, Benrey can just get them all out of here.

But it can’t do that, so instead it looks around for help. What was something it could do to comfort? What was comforting?

Benrey remembers seeing people grab other people’s faces when they were upset. Is that good? Would that be a nice friend thing to do?

Gordon seems too upset to bare, so its the thing Benrey goes with, pressing his face gently against his face.

Gordon tenses, and Benrey feels like it fucked up. When they reach up to yank Benrey’s arm away Benrey feels like it really fucked up.

Then Gordon’s eyes close as he brings Benreys hand closer to his face, leaning into the touch.

Benrey’s throat suddenly feels tight with the need to sing Sweet Voice, and he swallows hard. An unfamiliar feeling, not unlike the one before, stirs and Benrey can’t place it. A protective feeling, a warm feeling, a- a very much not-a-friend feeling.

Benrey’s mouth has always moved faster than his brain, and before he can even think about his mouth opens, wanting to sing and profess this newfound thing he discovered.

“Wanna kiss?”

How is Benrey's relationship with Gordon (and Joshua if he's in this AU), since you mentioned he moved in with them?

Plus, there was a picture of g man and Benrey somewhere on your blog, what's their relationship like? Because typically I usually see them written to be at odds with each other, so I'm curious if their relationship is better in this AU.

And how's the Science Team doing yaaahhhh

This will be a really..really big post, dudes. Thank you for your question...s! First answer: Benrey's and Gordon's relationship has returned to normal. They had a lot of misunderstandings and various tough situations, but over time they got used to each other. Gordon became calmer about Benrey's miscarriages, knowing full well that he was just trying to "impress" him, and Benrey began to respect Gordon more and treats his situations with greater understanding. I can't say which of them is a top and a bottom, both tops are most likely (and they often have skirmishes on this ground). Oh, and yea, Benrey apologized for the hand, and Gordon forgave him. Benrey babysat Joshua when he hadn't moved in yet. Although Benrey never said directly what was going on with boy's father, Joshua understood everything perfectly and teased them. Benrey and Joshua are good friends, although Benrey has set himself the goal of being a cool father, but in fact Joshua does not see him that way and does not even want to imagine him that way. For him, Benrey is just his father's lover and a dude who can give cool gifts (and also cool teammate).

(Damn, he is so scared of Ben-Oh ok nevermind..) Second answer: The relationship between Gman and Benrey... can be described as a dynamic of the universe’s balance-breaker that goes beyond the world's limits, changing reality as he wants to, and not-quite-human, guarding the existing scheme of things and their framework and changing reality as he sees it.

Mr Suitcase was somewhat surprised to see the guard casually breaking into the stasis, which is why he began to closely observe the one called Ben-Rey.

Whatever the Gman's palns for Benrey were, it remained unshared, as both the man responsible and his little redhead sister had miraculously bonded with Tommy, and taking away his son’s friends would have been... somewhat tactless.

So, the mutual observation between the rulers of the lore with different views on what they are allowed to do continues, but already with both in the role of ""neighbors"", if you can call them a such. Gman accepts the existence of a blue prankster, and the other one does not mind to arrange a meeting with his new friend to beat him with all of his heart with a crowbar once more. But it is already a long-standing tradition - night, moon, and the sound of metal, as if someone had urgent fencing class. Also they meet in the evenings in a small kitchen after the fight and plan their next meeting there.

(This piece was based entirely on the same "red dot" rounds where we used to fight on the crowbars with gman's and benry’s skins and decided that it is now part of the post-canon) Is their relationship better in this AU? The question stands.

 (Photo in Benrey's album) Numero tres: The first scientific team, in fact, is doing just fine after the accident. Tommy, although he was out of work for some time, was engaged in his hobbies and helped his father. And after that, the Gman put him in his place, which is why Tommy suddenly acquired a lot of businesses and money (he's a little scared, he doesn't understand where to put that money at all). Sunkist is alive, friends! Everything is fine with the perfect dog. Bubby, seeing at least something besides Black Mesa for the first time, where he was created and raised, decided to try everything in the world. He disrupted someone else's wedding, poisoned himself, vacationed in Miami, skydived, kissed a celebrity in the lips and even almost got wanted. However, over time, he got tired of such an intense life and lay low, returning to the roots. He worked in IT for a while, then he started working in some kind of laboratory again. Coomer..suddenly disappeared from all radars. Sometimes he appears, but what he has there is unknown. Darnold (he's part of the team too, right?..No?..) He sat in the ruined Black Mesa for a long time until his computer broke down and he just had to go outside to buy a new one. When he saw what a nightmare was happening there, he hurried back, but the survivors found him first. Now, although he does not want to, he works for them as a somewhat medic, helping in any way he can. He doesn't want to admit it, but he likes to do it. Forzen...It seems like he died. Or not? Perhaps he is still somewhere in the ruins of Black Mesa...

But hey, the guys are still talking! Once in a while they gather at a certain suburban area, roast meat and have a heart-to-heart chat. Bubby and Coomer are always arguing about which music to put on, Benrey is always trying to show off his muscles and always turns the table over (by accident, he just wanted to pick it up:( ), Gordon just roasts meat on the grill in silence and looks into the beautiful distance, while Tommy and Joshua play with Sunkist and sit in the gardens fountain! ---------- Pheeew it was a really good one, thank you again! Congratulations, if you read this all! It was fun to answer!! -Blue Opal / Alex (First's and Third answers, drawings and photo of GMan and Benrey) -PigelOn (Second answer)

[tigerdrop]

here is a bunch of words about this venom AU b/c i am out of my fucking mind

like ok sorry im about to talk about a venom AU again b/c jesus christ its just frenrey man. the sad, pathetic, cringy sweaty little man with depression and his new best friend, the way-too-powerful alien thing thats always on his back and is always pushing to do things that arent socially acceptable......its the same shit. whatever. am i thinking about that prodromal phase when gordons sweating and heaving and ravenous and trying to eat everything in sight and being jerked around by an alien leaning how to puppet his body? Yes

eating is horny, man. the vore thing is just completing the circuit and closing the loop. his entire fucking physiologys going haywire and his metabolisms in overdrive and eating is always a metaphor for something and i dont know why it shouldnt be a metaphor for being mysteriously, suddenly horny, either. and also its just really hot to see somebody going apeshit on food. Whatever

the dudes who made hannibal get it. food is erotic. food is always about something else

and pulling him around like a puppet especially. LITERALLY leaning how to move gordon around the way he wants to!!! its gotta be just as awkward for the symbiote to learn how to move in a human body as it is for the human to learn how to move in sync with the symbiote. the struggle.........is . its good

hes literally just. a puppet for the symbiote. hes a puppet that can make the symbiotes job a lot easier by playing along and figuring out how to move in sync , but like. hes just getting jerked around effortlessly for the whole fucking movie

and gordons strong enough that he can put up a good fight......but hes not stronger than a fucking alien thats in control of his very muscles and nervous system! lucky for him that he got saddled with a parasite thats developed a real quick fondness for the body that it inhabits or else hed just find himself sharing the same fate as all the other bodies that got colonized and dropped by the wayside

(sigh) and benrey would wanna stick around him b/c hes fun. he reacts good. hes fun to play with. hes easy to bully and cajole into doing what benrey wants, within reason. and unlike mr marvel-mouthpiece-eddie-brock, gordon freeman would fucking delight in getting to chomp on a cop or two. he would relish the opportunity

and like. uhh. that part where venom pins eddie to the wall. Wow

i think it would be. really cool. if uuuhhh if umm uhhh well. like. the symbiote is super strong right. so its basically like having a. uhh. living full body bondage suit that really, really wants to fuck you

if benrey doesnt want him to move then buddy, hes not moving. gordon freeman pinned firmly in place by an amorphous slime monster with sharp, sharp teeth and a lolling tongue that knows, in the most intimate and excruciating detail, just how badly he likes it

literally theres no way gordons not thinking back on so much of this shit later and having the weirdest fucking dreams of his life. i dont even know if he would initially be aware that a lot of this stuff is hitting him in the dick. it feels like a kind of sleeper agent thing

like yeah sure he probably knew he was into bondage. thats not all that weird. but i think it would take a little mental prodding to get him to be like "Oh. benrey did that. to me. and he could probably do it again. if i asked. but im not gonna fucking ask for that"

therein lies the crux of his problem: the symbiote knows literally everything about him. they share the same body and have touched each others minds. benrey Knows

he literally cannot hide a single fucking thing. its plain as day. the only thing stopping benrey from doing anything about it is the fact that gordon wont fucking ask, and more to the point, seems vehemently opposed to the idea of ever acting on it......until suddenly, he isnt

and also its probably really fucking fun to tease him about it. its not like gordons gotta always be consciously aware of the fact that benrey knows Literally Everything About Him. teasing him by cracking jokes about eating him?? weird coincidence, right. ha ha. benrey makes an offhand comment about basically eating him every time they transform and gordon has a psychosexual breakdown bc all his blood leaves his brain

I might be insane

but also i have the very vivid idea of benrey pinning gordon to the wall like that again with the full knowledge that gordons getting off on it, and taunting him to struggle harder b/c its more fun that way. whys he just acting all limp like a ragdoll, huh. (because thats what you normally do when youre being put in bondage! or at least, thats what gordon does! hes not used to the idea of something wanting him to try and struggle b/c its fun to playfight with him, even if its very much just a play fight b/c benreys so much stronger!!!)

look i jsut think his gradual transformation from "normal guy with latent psychosexual issues who is rightly weirded out by killing and blood and things of thast nature" to "problems guy who gets hot in the face when he sees all those teeth and watches benrey chomp on dudes and gets a little hard whenever hes enveloped by his alien bodymate-cum-best friend" is. awesome

the mental journey from "what the fuck is happening this is the most terrifying thing that could ever happen to me. what if i die in here" to "wow this is still anxiety-inducing but im so fucking strong and i can do crazy superhero shit. this is awesome" to "oh no the anxiety is back to an 11 b/c ive started having weird thoughts about it and now im thinking about baseball really hard to try not to get hard"

jesus christ man. gordon stops jerking off entirely b/c he doesnt want the fucking symbiote to see his boner and ask any weird questions but benrey doesnt even care. he just thinks gordons insane for taking so many cold showers. daily fucking slapfighting over the shower knob

he has so much wrong with him but benrey doesnt even CARE. gordon is the only one that cares nearly that much about his weird boner problems and doesnt want benrey to see his dick b/c “what if its weird. what if i make this weird.” meanwhile benrey has been aware of every time gordon has gotten a half chub from benrey transforming. benrey doesnt even think gordons trying to hide it hes doing that bad of a job

gordon doesnt even WANT to have to explain what a stiffy is to this guy!!! he thinks that b/c benreys some kind of alien thing, he wouldnt even know. he wouldnt be familiar with the human boner. but gordon assumes hes gonna have to if he ever pops one so he does everything in his power to neglect his stupid dick. meanwhile benrey absolutely knows how dicks work b/c he was socialized entirely on ps3 multiplayer until he met gordon and you would not believe how much intimate knowledge of the human penis hes acquired by this

(sigh) i think that when gordon realizes he has a weird sentient alien parasite inside of him he would get weird about literally every embarrassing bodily function/necessary display of nudity . and i think he would be bladder shy in front of a brand new audience

i just think. that. he would be freaking out about an alien seeing his dick. and immediately after seeing that benrey is Real and Inside Him for the first time, he would try very, very hard to hold it in so the alien thing doesnt see his dick. progressively antsier.....squirming.......Pacing......gordon gets an alien parasite and decides he can never pee again. ignoring the blatant fact that benrey is little man in his bloodstream and already knows all about his dick

im envisioning this happening shortly before he learns that benrey is In His Head . and also that hes in some pretty serious denial about it a lot of the time

but just b/c gordons ignoring it and pretending like everythings normal (and like HES normal) doesnt mean that either of those things are true. benrey knows exactly whats going through his head. theyre Bonded. and benrey knows that hes a little freak whos got boner problems about this subject specifically. i mean its not like hed even have to read gordons mind to figure that one out, yknow? he canonically cannot fucking stop himself from joking about piss, joking about how much hes been holding it, etc etc. and yknow........benreys just a weird little alien goop with a poor grasp on human social mores. his understanding is that pleasure is something that feels good, so theres no reason why they shouldnt feel good. eating people makes him feel good. being jerked around and controlled makes gordon feel good. whats the problem

and if hes in total control of gordons body......well, maybe the bladder-shyness isnt as bad a problem as gordon thinks. benrey can just control his muscles, yknow? help him out. so he quits freaking the fuck out like a little bitch about how gross and weird this is. (its really not that weird to benrey, okay.) the weirder thing is how neurotic gordons being about the whole thing. and so uhhhh thats how gordon ends up with his skin flushing so badly it makes him dizzy when benrey is just like “okay uh this is stupid can you just deal with it” and puppets him over to the bathroom and makes him. just. do it

also like okay. ping-ponging to another thing here. i have been thinking about the first time gordon actually tries to jerk off after acquiring an Audience

its gotta come up at some point. theres no way it doesnt. having a case of blue balls for that fucking long is probably turning him into the worlds most neurotic little bitch and at some point benrey just asks him point blank "hey. do you ever jerk off" because.....like......he feels what gordon feels for gods sake. hes aware of all the boners gordons been getting and not doing anything about. and "not talking about it" was his way of being polite but now gordons being a nasty deranged little cunt of a man from Dick Too Hard and its getting annoying. and gordons just like "what!!! of course i do, but you, you know what, thats none of your business! im not about to pound my meat with an audience!"

benrey doesnt really get it. gordons horny, he just copped to jerking off on occasion, whats the problem? theyre bros, its cool. he can just, like, play minecraft and not look. gordon thinks this is the stupidest thing hes ever heard. but like......he does miss jacking off. hes a red blooded adult male and its a little harder to pick up girls when he has a flesh eating alien with very poor boundaries sharing his body. so he decides, well, fuck it. hes just negotiating space with a roommate. in a way. its fine. its not that weird

but it is that weird, actually. gordon tries it but he has a really hard time getting it up with the knowledge that hes doing it right next to somebody who isnt even paying attention. it makes him feel like one of those weirdos who jerks off on the bus. benrey notices that hes, like, stopped, and has just kind of tucked his dick back in his underwear and given up. and after some confused discussion and bickering, benreys like, "you uhh......you want a hand?" and that kickstarts gordons heartrate right back up

what im saying, is that, benrey should subsume gordons right hand. envelop it in his own. take control of it. and jerk him off for the first time while panting in his ear and licking his neck and dirty talking the hell out of him. and gordons never came so hard or so fast in his life

and like. this would 100% open the freak floodgates. gordon was trying very hard not to think about it before but now the door is wide open and he cant not think about all the insane things benrey could do to him. WITH him

like. okay. gordon really is just all the way in there . things ive never fully considered before. venoms literally about vore

benrey meat prison. going superhero mode means your cock is grinding on slime the whole fucking time. gordon can be having a minor anxiety meltdown as hes subsumed by slime and can feel benrey going hog wild. bc hes in there......its a bonding thing . and also a vore thing. and a "he cant hide literally any of his reactions so the moment he pops a boner in there benrey is going to know about it" thing

like the logistics are vague but its implied they can see out each others eyes and have a sense of each others bodies. so when benreys fully out gordon can see out his eyes and it kinda feels like the big body is his too, theyre in sync. but i like to think. he can also feel his own body distinctly. he can feel benreys body pressing in around him. he can feel the muscles crush him in place as they move. i think that would be . cool

and like. okay. the thing i dont really care for when it comes to vore is the, like, Everything After. what i think is really cool, and awesome, is the. uh. the mouth stuff. big tongue and teeth and being totally enveloped in something wet and hot and whatever. okay. but i dont actually want the guy to get swallowed okay i think he should just nut and then get spit back out. im not about the internal workings here thats where my boner turns off and i fail to suspend my disbelief

but like. the great thing with venom is that. you dont have to worry about any of that . gordon can just be......totally subsumed by him. that massive alien maw opening wide and licking him all over and enveloping him from the bottom up, nothing but wet-hot pressure wrapping around him . . . sucking at every inch of him and undulating in a way he literally never could have fathomed before. the things that gordon thought about in the back of his mind whenever benrey transformed with him. the things he was convinced benrey wouldnt know about if he thought hard enough about literally anything else while they were out doing their vigilante thing. and then he can nut so hard he goes blind and get spit right back out and full-body cuddled by his symbiote buddy

i think its neat to think about the possible feedback loop from their mental link. like. look i dont know how exactly a symbiote nuts and at this point im too afraid to ask. but like. they dont have naturally occurring dicks. so it seems to me, that the best way to get benrey to nut, here, is for him to get gordon to nut also. the feedback loops

theyre basically one guy, right. gordon-and-benrey. benrey-and-gordon. hes experiencing the world through gordon, feeling what he does, seeing what he sees. benrey having a harder time maintaining a coherent form the more he drives gordon to the edge......hes in gordons head! hes feeling what he feels! and gordons in benreys head, too, seeing himself from the outside......realizing he looks like a total fucked out whore like this and its humiliating and excruciating but all benreys seeing is his person coming apart and theres nothing but extremely positive vibes going on in his head and it makes gordon feel, like.......really hot, actually. hes got that mental image of himself as the pathetic schlubby guy that we all know he kind of is but also hes schlubby in an insanely fuckable way, and benrey knows this. he Knows this

that possessive little throb in the back of his mind b/c benreys looking at him and subsuming his lower half and wrapping around his dick and pushing into him him and all thats on his mind is how this is his person, all his, hes gonna show gordon that he doesnt need other girls anymore. they cant do what he does, because gordon is his and, more to the point, hes gordons

and hes right . literally how is he going to go back to pussy after that. its a metaphor for being gay but also they are literally gay and have insane crazy sex about it. its like symbolic or whatever

anyway i think when benreys fucking him senseless with all those tentacles or whatever gordon should accidentally say “were gonna come” when hes about to nut. b/c its a “we” thing. benreys a symbiote who can only come when gordon does, through their mental link. ok. Bye

[passp0rtguardian]

Yoo in spirit of that aitober(?) stuff can we get some tomrey? Soda date or something?

Benrey really liked Tommy. Like, really really liked him.

He was like a ray of sun in an ice cold room, gently warming everything around him. Them and Tommy were polar opposites, but somehow got along.

Hell, Tommy liked them. Wanted to be their boyfriend and shit. That thought still made Benrey swoon- so little dates like this sent them over the fucking moon.

Even if it was just drinking soda at a McDonald's. At two in the morning.

Technically it was still a date and they would consider it as such.

It only happened because neither of them could sleep- it was rainy season in New Mexico, and instead of the rain being calming it was just overwhelming them both in the usually quiet bedroom.

So they went and got McDonald's. Well, soda. Neither enjoyed eating right before going to bed- and they were definitely going to crash hard when they got home, now that the rain was letting up to a soft drizzle.

That calm drizzle Tommy and Benrey enjoyed the most.

Benrey sips at their soda - a mishmash of every single soda you can dispense at the McDonald's, which they call a 'Dr Pepper'. Tommy can't help but laugh every time they sip it.

"You- you're really drinking some- a soda like that?" They ask in amusement.

"mmm yeah. why not? 's uhhh. dr pepper, bro." Benrey softly teases Tommy, holding their soda out and shaking it a little. "cmon have a lil sip. just a lil sippy."

Tommy laughs, wrinkling their nose and making a disgusted face. "N-No way! It's like- it's like a potion you make in the bath- bathroom with all the soap!"

Benrey laughs a bit, secretly absolutely swooning over Tommy's disgusted face as they push the straw against his lips. "cmoonnnn. not even gonna try uh, boyfriend benny's secret potion?" The statement just makes Tommy laugh all the more.

"I'm not- I'm not drinking that-! It looks- uh- it looks gross!"

"awww cmon. not even for boyfriend benny? i'll even uhh. give you a lil smooch for your troubles."

"B-Benreyyy-!"

"pleaseee? i'll give you uh- ten smooches for your troubles. try the potionnn."

Tommy seems to give in at that, taking the cup and looking a little hesitant over it. "I feel like you're- you're trying to poison me- this is a sin," he says, taking a sip and thinking for a moment.

"is not a sin. 's uhh, dr pepper bro. how you like it? like benny's potion?" Benrey asks, grin gently ghosting over their face.

Tommy thought for a moment more before looking genuinely surprised. "It's- it's actually, um, not that bad." They admit, a little embarrassed smile on their face now.

God Benrey loved that smile.

Either way, they pump their fist in the air and steal a sip from Tommy's soda to make things even. The McDonald's only had Coke products so it was Sprite- usually he got Pepsi. "oh hell yeah. knew you would uh, like it."

"But the name is- is completely inaccurate! I can luh- mmmm... I can taste actual Dr- Dr Pepper in there, Benrey!" Tommy quickly adds on.

"that's just uhh. mine is just dr pepper ultra. got uhhh. downloads on mine. all the flavors and more."

"That makes no sense- Dr Pepper already has 23 flavors, how can it have-have more?"

"i add more soda to it"

With Benrey's nonchalant statement, Tommy bursts into a flurry of laughter. "You're- you're a dork!" He laughs, playfully punching Benrey's shoulder.

Benrey just smiles. Man, they really loved Tommy.

After their little soda endeavors, the two returned to the car. Gentle rain was still coming down, blanketing New Mexico in a sort of soft, gentle silence.

Tommy pauses a moment to admire the quiet, and Benrey pauses with them, both just staring up at the sky for a moment.

"The rain is- is pretty, huh? Calming, I mean." Tommy finally breaks the silence, seemingly blinking back into reality.

"yeah, it's uhh... it's nice being able to feel the rain." Benrey responds idly, knowing what Tommy means when he says that.

Tommy looks at Benrey for a moment longer before smiling. That gentle smile that makes you feel like a cat laying in a sun spot. "Well- we should uh, go back, sh- shouldn't we?"

Benrey looks back as a small smile tugs at their lips. "yeah. probably uhh, good idea."
