While growing up, Ben has always been arrogant and mean towards you, but as time passes, with trainings and missions, he can't seem to notice that he's already catching feelings for you little by little as you two grew.

What started as annoyance—whenever you are around, simply existing in a same room as him while banters and retorts bounced from you two—suddenly became a feeling he refuses to even name.

is it serenity? Where he found your presence a source that allows him to stay calm during a challenging mission.

or perhaps solace? That when your kind reassuring words reaches his ear even if it was not directly said to him, it eases a part of him whenever things don’t go as plan.

No one in the house noticed the shift from Ben, because even himself refuses to acknowledge what was blooming in his heart.
