“But it’s not effortless, I try really hard.”
Ben couldn’t believe he just admitted that to Reece, though something about this person made him feel very comfortable.
reece grins big and wide at that. it's what his mom taught him, at least. and she's always right.
" i really do, but they'll get there eventually. then they'll realise just how amazin' you are for makin' it look effortless. "
“Yeah, I told him how I felt multiple times but I was brushed off. He’s not great with emotions, none of my family is. Apparently I’m the sensitive one.”
“He was drunk or high most of the time, but his power is to see ghosts. He knew that I was real and treated me like that even when he was sober. Called me his ghost bitch once and everything.”
he frowns at that.
" jeez— im sorry, ben. thats. . that sounds horrible. i mean, wasn't he like, shit-faced all the time .ᐣ maybe he thought you were a delusion or somethin'. . "
“Yeah, and Klaus was the only one I could talk to. Any time I tried to communicate with the others he would shush me or tell them that I wasn’t there…”
“Yeah, he thinks he’s cool. He’s a big bully is what he really is.”
Ben mumbled this under his breath.
“It’s not how I died that bothered me, it’s my experience actually being dead that was more painful.”
" things come and go. he's cool, though. "
thank god cause reece was fumbling hard.
" oh— we don't have to get into it if you don't wanna. unless you do, then I'm all ears. "
“I thought you two had a thing.”
Ben also shrugged playing it cool.
“I think I blocked out a lot of the trauma, I don’t really remember what happened.”
“Well, I died at 17 but when I came back to life my body was about 29. But my consciousness is about 34. Don’t let my brother hear you say time is just a concept, he’ll throw a tantrum.”
“Dad locked me in the basement for 20 days, did all this hypnosis and electro-shock therapy, and he’s giving me the same meds that he gave Viktor!”
He blurted this out like a kid tattling on someone.
@jianxiayks “I missed you too, don’t worry… I’ve been resting and recovering from everything that’s happened.”
Ben grinned at the other man fondly and held the others hand.
