More drabbles!
Hi, I had to write these as well! I'm not totally happy about how they've turned out but they're okay.
Sometimes I can’t help but watch the two of them together; looking at them it’s plain to see how in love they are. When I first met them I thought they were brothers, or maybe best friends because of the ease that they had around each other. But now I know. In fact I think I knew before either of them did. When we went after the Templar Treasure I honestly thought that it was me he loved, me that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. Afterwards Riley seemed to drift away, he didn’t visit us in out new home and Ben changed. I see now how much he was missing Riley, and how even then he was pining for him.
At the moment I’m sitting on the beach watching the two of them walk along the edge of the water, Ben has his arm wrapped protectively around Riley’s waist and a part of me wishes that he was looking at me like that. But I’m happy for them, I know that Riley will look after him, and I’m happy just being their friend. I know how much I am honoured to have their love, but most of all to witness theirs.
I’m supposed to be sorting all of the files on my laptop. Ben’s been nagging me to do it for ages, he says that he needs to be able to find files on it too, and apparently my systems to crazy for him to understand - they were his words, not mine. Instead I’m watching him over the top of the screen. He’s sitting on the couch watching some documentary on TV, believe it or not it’s about the Templar Treasure, as if there’s anything he doesn’t know about it already. He yawns and lifts his arms above his head in stretch, and I can’t resist. Closing my laptop I walk slowly over to the couch and sit next to him, he inches closer to me and puts his arm around my shoulders. But we’re still not close enough, so I snuggle into his chest, and as he begins to run his fingers through my hair I reflect on how lucky I am to have him. And I’m lucky that he enjoys our ‘snuggle’ time, because I don’t think I could do without it.
