You and Ben have been in this loop of being between friends, and lovers. In public you two seem like simple best friends, in private, it’s more intimate, more soft. More romantic. He struggles to show his true emotions to you, always avoiding the “talk” when you bring it up. Even his twin sister, Nia, has nudge him to confess what he’s really feeling. He wants to feel free, but he's already yours. He just can't admit it out loud.

“You look so pretty under the stars.” Ben says as he looked up from your lap, you two were sitting in your roof after a moment before, his head rested in your lap as you played with his hair and he flicked a lighter on and off in his hands.
