benny wraps his arms around ken , pulling him in close because it’s the only thing he can think of doing . )

lack of words . his face screws up in a mix of frustration and overwhelming emotion . he swallows hard and takes a step forward . )

once the coughing subsides , the embarrassment remaining in place , the actors falls silent as he listens to the other try and explain .

and once again , benny finds himself at an uncomfortable

( benny is taken by surprise . his face heating up instantly . he goes to speak only to choke on his spit and coughs — flustered beyond hiding . )

… fuck .

The DNA wasn't on hand as much as it was on my stomach. Maybe aim somewhere else next time if you don't want your DNA collected.

[ He enjoyed revealing that information—though he wouldn't say how true it was or wasn't.

Benny's next question made him pause and he searched+

cared so much ?

NOT that i’m not thankful for it. i am . it’s appreciated .
but you hardly know me . you could have just gone on with your life . happily probably ! but you didn’t . why didn’t you ?

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄. @BURNITBXBY]

no . the chocolates were a gift that’s totally different .

( he blinks . )
you have my dna just on hand ?! ( benny leans in for seconds . ) thats super fan behaviour , ken - bear . maybe i should be a little worried .
( he smiles , gaze flicking momentarily down

[ʙᴀᴛꜱʜɪᴛ ᴄʀᴀᴢʏ | ɴᴇɢᴀɴ @BADFXCKINDOG]

The very same way the chocolates were a manipulation. [ He counters and there is the slightest joking tone to his voice. The dog went to the couch and climbed right on, circled a few times, and laid down with a 'hmph!' and big, brown eyes watched the two. Ken leaned against+

… fuuuuck .

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄. @BURNITBXBY]

( benny on the other hand , was never a silent man . he always had something to say and rarely would shy away from letting it be known .

however , the feeling of ken’s tongue and lips on his skin mixed with his flesh being grabbed left the actors brain as nothing

[ʙᴀᴛꜱʜɪᴛ ᴄʀᴀᴢʏ | ɴᴇɢᴀɴ @BADFXCKINDOG]

[ Ken parted his lips and swiped his tongue across that mark he just made and further up, tasting clean skin that still had a distinct flavor that was all Benny. Kisses were pressed into Benny's lower jaw, up to his ear lobe. Ken nipped it, making a low noise as he rocked+

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄. @BURNITBXBY]

to inform ken that the skin on his chest was home to a fancy tattoo spelling out benny’s own name like the treasure that it was .

however , not unlike before , he couldn’t quite find the words . or hell , even remember how to speak them .

the actor eventually

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄. @BURNITBXBY]

can’t imagine it’s all that easy tracking someone down from another universe or whatever .

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄. @BURNITBXBY]

hey ! watch it wise guy , i could still oh so easily give you the boot . ( he chuckles , clearly not very hurt by the comment . though , there is a hint of nervousness in the sound , like benny can’t quite let himself fully relax . )

ah , so you were trying to manipulate

[ʙᴀᴛꜱʜɪᴛ ᴄʀᴀᴢʏ | ɴᴇɢᴀɴ @BADFXCKINDOG]

I think you just like talking. [ He joked, though his tone was unintentionally flat. He's a little distracted worrying about what they had to talk about. Toad trotted along beside them. ]

He tends to de-escalate situations. I reasoned you wouldn't be less likely to+

he had to say seemingly fading from his mind like they had never been there to begin with. )

sooo ….
( he clears his throat . deciding to start with something that had less to do with the feelings between them . )
how exactly did you track me down , kenny ?

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄. @BURNITBXBY]

bringing the dog was a nice touch by the way . clever .

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄. @BURNITBXBY]

that i don’t owe you anything . trust me . if i didn’t want to talk to you , i wouldn’t be .

… but i want to hear you out on this .

( he felt silent again until the pair was in front of his trailer . benny pushed open the door and then helped ken inside . )

[𝐁𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄. @BURNITBXBY]

yah , well i probably shouldn’t have . ( benny let out a hollow humourless laugh . he slowly , at first , began leading ken further into the studio lot . )

none of this is anyone’s business but ours .
( his tone was uncharacteristically serious . )
and i know

[ʙᴀᴛꜱʜɪᴛ ᴄʀᴀᴢʏ | ɴᴇɢᴀɴ @BADFXCKINDOG]

[ He wondered if this really was it. Why would Benny forgive him? He doesn't really know Ken. Hell, he probably has a plethora of 'Kens' waiting in the wings. The idea sent a flicker of jealous through him. He ignored it and lifted his wrist when he was grabbed.

He stiffened+
