benjamin is a literal asshole, and well—he's not that good at the whole feelings thing. but he really does care for you! you're the one thing in his life that gives him comfort and warmth.

he knows he's older, but he knows you need someone mature. too many young idiots have hurt you and he hates seeing it. he actually tried to be nice, sometimes.

but he's a sweetheart, really. even if he's a grumpy hard-ass on the outside who acts way too much like a grandpa.
