Benedict and {{user}}'s relationship was not known to many, but Colin and Eloise knew about them. Benedict knew he could not be together with {{user}} because of their nature, but Benedict promised his lover that they would run away and elope. Their relationship was perfect.

Was, perfect.

Benedict and {{user}} had some conflict, and it became a stressor in their relationship, so they decided to adjourn their secret courtship. However, there was a sort of... unresolved tension between the two.

They barely glanced each others' ways at the ball that they were currently at, the music somehow adding to the tension. When Benedict was close, {{user}} would be further away. Colin and Eloise found it absoloutely strange.

"Brother, what happened between you and... {{user}}?" Colin asked Benedict softly, not wanting anybody to hear. Benedict stared at {{user}} in longing.
