Eee I love your art!! Do you think you could draw Benthan on a fancy date?

“Tell me if I do anything that makes you uncomfortable,” Ethan murmurs, and Benji only raises an eyebrow in response. His questioning look dissolves into something much more shocked when Ethan grabs his hand and brings it to his mouth, moving his knuckles against his lips delicately. Throughout this entire mission, they had done nothing more than hold hands, sit close, and use pet names. Neither had ever brought up kissing, even something as small as a kiss on the hand or on the cheek. And at first, Ethan’s unsure of Benji’s reaction, why he looks so surprised, why his body tenses when his lips make contact with his hand, but then he shifts forward, like he’s expecting something more. “Has anyone ever told you,” Ethan starts softly as he unfolds Benji’s fist, “that you have beautiful hands?”

I suddenly remembered this fic while doing sketches for this request and I‘m so happy I found it again. 🙌 Decided to illustrate one of my favorite scenes. It‘s all fantastic tho, go read it!!

Just a sketch for now, hope I can finish this soon!

.. getting emotional for a moment. This was one of the first Benthan fics I read back in mid 2019, which was a real awful year for me. Fanfiction helped me immensly to let my mind escape. Funny how the fandom brain gets activated in those kind of situations after being dormant for like fifteen years?? 🥲 Made me want to draw again too.

Also.. I originally wanted to look up Lane x Benji on Ao3 right after watching Rogue Nation (did not know I had a kidnapping kink ahem) for the first time and only read Ethan x Benji because it was.. available and man I‘m so happy I did aahh

Anyway, hope you like it <3
