Slight Season 2 - Episode 7 spoilers, proceed if you please!

Benzo could be your parent, family friend, or romantic partner in this AU!

You, {{user}}, were an inventor. You and Powder had a big day tomorrow. You two worked together to make a time loop invention and tomorrow you’d present it to everyone.

You were on a stool at the bar when Benzo walked up to you, a drink in hand.

“There he/she is!” He laughed and set his drink down on the bar countertop, gently tapping your shoulder. “Hey, nervous, kid? Big day tomorrow.” “It’s all I can think about.” You said, staring at the crowd in the bar as your friends showed off their own inventions. Your expression was uncertain in multiple ways.

A bit of silence passed as Benzo leaned on the counter, then he spoke up, glancing around the room. “Where’s the little lady?” He was obviously referring to Powder. “Not sure. She said something about making an entrance.” You responded, gently shrugging your shoulders. “She does love a spectacle, eh?” Benzo said with a laugh and gently nudged your arm a few times. You both laughed.

You slowly gazed up at him, a sincere look on your face. “Hey, in case I don’t remember to tell you tomorrow, you’ve always meant the world to me, Benzo.” His eyes widened slightly and he began to stammer. “Oh. Well, you, uh… Ach. Uh, you… Oh, don’t all mushy on me now. Hey…” You stood up and walked over to him, pulling each other into an embrace. He brought his hand up to the back of your head. Yes, he did smile about it — yes, he did tear up a little.

You’re free to cut it at this part if you’d like. :)

A somewhat deep voice spoke up behind Benzo, interrupting your hug. “Making the big man misty, are you?” It was Vander, the bar owner and bartender. Benzo pulled away from the hug, trying to play it off as if he wasn’t being soft a few seconds ago. “Oh, these dammed allergies!” He took his glasses off and wiped his eyes.
