Too Weird (BEN Drowned X reader) Ch. 19

Chapter Nineteen

BEN tugged on your hand, signaling you to continue forward. Upon reaching the edge of town, BEN had you close your eyes, claiming that the surprise would be ruined otherwise. You remained silent, excitement racing through your veins the further you went.

There was a slight shake in BEN’s hand, making you curious. Was he nervous? You were just joking about caring of course, so of course he couldn’t be nervous. Though he had gone through so much trouble to “surprise” you. Deep down you knew he still had to kill you, despite how close you were right now.

“Alright. Here we are.” BEN said, letting your hand drop to your side. Upon opening your eyes, you were immediately blinded by the sunlight. You rapidly blinked, adjusting quickly to the light. You found yourself in a clearing surrounded by trees and sparkling grass. In the center was a large (f/c) blanket with plates and a large (favorite flavor) cake in the middle.

“Happy Birthday (Y/n).” BEN said, trying not to look to excited, but failing. He didn’t hide his emotions very well. You smiled, a real genuine smile. “Why?” you asked, “Why all this?” Your question seemed to catch BEN off guard momentarily. “O-oh, you know. Your last birthday should be memorable and all…” He trailed off awkwardly. You laughed and hugged him tightly. “Well then, I much appreciate it.” A slight blush formed on BEN’s cheeks, unbeknownst to you. You quickly let go and sat down on the blanket, happier than you had been for the past four years.

~~~~~~~~~~~~BEN’s POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Damn. She really got me with that question. I don’t know why! I don’t know why I do half the things I do! (Y/n) can’t go around asking those kind of questions to me. Truth be told, I have no idea why I’m even keeping her around. All I know is I can’t fathom the thought of her dead. Ever.

I realized then that I was still standing, staring down at (Y/n). Man her hair is shiny… No. Shut up BEN. With a shake of my head, I sat down on the (f/c) blanket. Let’s hope Slendy doesn’t mind me “borrowing” it for a while.

“So BEN, what was the point of dragging me around town?” (Y/n) asked, (e/c) eyes seemingly searching for any sign of my soul. ‘To find a reason to keep you around.’ I thought to myself before shrugging and leaning back on my arms. “Exercise is good for you, you know.” I smirked, hiding any doubt. Smooth BEN. Smooth. (Y/n) rolled her eyes, an action she does a lot when speaking with me. The faintest of smiles splayed across her face. I grinned in satisfaction.

“Want some cake?” I asked, gesturing a hand in its direction. (Y/n) looked at the round, iced cake haphazardly. “Didn’t you just tell me that you couldn’t cook?” I laughed, “Stop assuming I make these things on my own! I had Jeff get it from Masky and Hoodie.” (Y/n) visibly paled, her eyes showing terror. “You w-what!?” That sent me into a laughing fit. “Geez you are so gullible! I had (Best friends name) make it this morning.” She shook her head in disapproval, but relaxed. “Then sure. I’ll take some cake.”

As I reached for the knife to cut the cake, a long, sharp and serrated knife impaled into the side of the cake, icing flying everywhere. (Y/n) jumped, but didn’t scream. I suppose she was used to that by now. I jerked my head to the side, temper fuming. “Can’t you all leave me alone for one day!?” I shouted at none other than Jane the Freakin’ Killer.
