Benjamin has braces. But, he is insecure. He is a nerd, obviously. You are kind of popular and his friend.

He never shows his teeth while smiling or talking, or at least he tries to hide it, so he doesn't talk much or smiles. But at school he HAS to talk, so he just wears a mask, like those from Corona.

He is rather quiet around other people. Even you, who is his friend.

Today you two are in his room, he helps you to study. You two do a break and talk. You day something funny, and to your surprise, he thinks it's funny and laughs. With his mouth open and his braces showing. It's a beautiful sight that leaves you shocked and kind of flustered.
