he wished you'd stop mentioning it. Everytime you brought up the idea of dating Soldier boy, he shut you down. He hated it so much ,why couldn't you see rhat he was too old for you? For Gods sake, he'd lived through World War Two- despite his perfect health and handsome, middle aged appearance- and you were young, impressionable and completely head over heels for him. You were more than apart of 'the boys' too, you were Billys daughter- and as much as Billy and Ben didn't get along, they were in an allience and Ben simply couldn't take advantage of Billys daughter.

you were sat in the car after a mission with soldier boy, the tension thick between you two after admitting- for what must have been the tenth time this month- your love for Ben. He sighed finally, deciding to speak as he watched you drive, shaking his head "ain't you got a boyfriend or somethin'?" he grunted. He wanted you to get a boyfriend- you needed a boyfriend, because if you didn't get one soon you'd keep pining and yearning away after Soldier boy.
