Β Β Β That was a good question. But thinking about it was almost a good enough distraction as well. For a moment, Ben was silent as he considered it. Then he gave in with a sigh. βHow are the other VKs doing? Showing signs of wanting to leave? Or do they seem happy?β He hadnβt been around them much in the last while. It was too hard. But it was funny that Benβs mind would go to caring for others in order to get something off his mind. Considering who he was worrying about, it probably wouldnβt help too much. Butβ¦ if they all seemed okay? Maybe it would?
Β Β Β βWhat about you?β The young king added after a quiet moment. βHow are you doing with everything? With all the changes happening lately.β This time it really did distract him as he looked at Jane. She was someone he worried about a lot. Always had. She was soft and he had worried about her before the decree to bring VKs off the isle, and he worried about her still. Even as she worried about him.
βThey are all FINE.β She didnβt want to be curt, but she also didnβt want him to worry about them too much. The petite girl KNEW how it pained him to think of anyone from the Isle. Even if he did wish them all the best. Jane sighed softly before shooting him a reassuring SMILE.Β βSome donβt quite know what to do with themselves YET, but with all of the safeguards weβve implemented, someone is always around to HELP should they ask for it.β Such programs had basically been organized by her, with the help of a certain blue haired Princess and she found PRIDE to know that they were working. It was kind of like a HOTLINE, and for a while hardly anyone reached out to the AKβs for help, but slowly the tides started to change. Since then things have gotten easier.Β
βME?β Somehow she hadnβt been expecting the answer. Perhaps she should have been. Ben had always been curious about her well being, but still - not everyone asked about HER. Fairy GODMOTHERΒ would at times, but Jane always partially suspected the older fae had ulteriorΒ motivesΒ before approaching her. And thus, cheeks tinted a light pink just as they passed the thresholdΒ into the WOODSΒ surrounding the school campus. βIβve been BUSY. But it keeps me sane. Knowing I help you ... and everyone else of course.β Tacking on the last little bit in an afterthought, her cheeks burn just a little bit hotter. She wasnβt used to talking about herself, much less with a KING.Β βI like to help.β

Β Β Β There was no βweβ about it. He was beating the expectations she had had of him. Still, Dizzy smiled, brushed back a bit of pink hair behind her ear with her free hand, and shrugged. βI guess youβre just really, really talented.β She replied, teasing him a little bit. Diz kept eye contact with the king for a beat too long before her cheeks pinned up a little and she looked away. βBut I guess if Iβm impressed by you having all your teeth, Iβll be in for a lot of good impressions here, huh?β
Β Β Β She was glad that Evie talked about her. Honestly, when the four had left the isle, sheβd thought that her cousin would forget about her. Leave her to the dogs as it were. Sure, she was capable enough, butβ¦ the isle was never comfortable to her. βOh good.β The girl added with a nod. βI donβt have time for isle antics when Iβm not there anymore, you know?β Wellβ¦ not most of them at least. Not the ones that made her feel bad about herself.
With another chuckle at her light teasing, Ben resisted the urge to roll his eyes PLAYFULLY. It may have been in good nature, but this was a first impression and all of his parents teachings came rushing back into his head all at once. They might have been from the Isle, but that didnβt mean all of his MANNERS could just fly out the window. Perhaps it could be said that he had loosened up some since the last VK batch came through. But still, heβd remember himself and lt HER make most of the jabs. For now anyways.Β βYou should see my DAD, heβs got some pretty wicked canine teeth if youβre into that sort of thing.βΒ
After just a BEAT more, hands were pulled back to his side, before gesturing to the others that were now filing in behind her.Β βAs I was telling MISS DIZZY here, several of you have family here. Cousins, Aunts, Uncles - what have you. And you may be feeling some ... MIXED emotions about meeting them. But we want you to feel COMFORTABLE here. So you can meet them whenever you wish. Or not if thatβs more your speed.β The end statement was tacked on after seeing one of the girls in the back sneer and almost VISIBLY recoil. It would take some time to get there. He UNDERSTOOD that. Eyes then turned back towards the girl with pink hair with a smile.Β βAnd if youβd LIKE, I can be there to make the meetings go a little smoother. If that would help.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β NOW! If youβd all like to follow me, we can get you all settled inside.β With that, he took a step backwards, but kept his arms out and his smile WIDE, hoping that they would all fall into step behind him.Β

Β Β Β His words hit her like a punch to the guy. βNo. You donβt deserve trust right now!β She cried. βNot after alienating me and ruining that trust I had for you. Butβ¦ you know what? I hope youβre right. I hope you just made bad decisions and treated me like shit for no reason. Because at least that wouldnβt hurt you as much as the other option.β Swallowing hard, she kept back tears and anger as much as possible. βSo donβt you dare tell me Iβm not who I always was. Because Iβve always been someone who wanted to look out for you, Ben. Youβre the one whoβs taking this to a place youβre going to regret eventually.β Whether he was spelled or not, that much she was sure of. βYouβre the one whoβs proving which side of that line you were on byβ¦ by talking to me in a way you never would have a week ago.β
Β Β Β She wrapped her arms around herself. βBut hey. You experienced love atβ¦ whatβ¦ second? Third sight? So who am I to question that. Who am I, who you technically havenβt even broken up with, by the way. You just threw me to the wolves by making a big public scene of asking her to your coronation instead. Who am I to worry or care or hell, try and talk to you at all about anything.β Arms unraveled from around herself and her hands gripped around the bench she sat on. βWho am I to love you and want the best for you?β Fingertips began to spark with golden flecks of magic, but she didnβt notice as the bench turned to pure gold.
Β Β Β βNobody important, at least.β She shook her head. βI hope youβre right, Ben. I hope Mal is good and just and kind. I hope sheβs not the sort of person who would put a love spell on you. I really do. I just hoped you werenβt a dick, either. Butβ¦ I guess Iβd rather my opinion of you be broken along with my heart, rather than have you be heartbroken.β
Seeing her so UPSET when he did still remember that he had loved her, hurt. No matter how much of it was HIS fault in the moment, and the words that he had JUST said did this to her, he wasnβt heartless. As she ranted, going on about how much she cared for HIM through it all, all he could do was listen. His shoulders slowly relaxed - out of guilt - and his once agitatedΒ features softened towards her. What was being said about Mal in a bad light still wasnβt okay, but in the end he DID understand where she was coming form. Because hey, she had a point. He hadnβt even spoken to her about dating someone else yet. It was bound to bring up a few negative feelings even if he WAS right and Mal hadnβt done anything wrong. Ben had just taken a small step towards her, READY to offer up an olive branch, when her fingers sparked.Β
Eyes widened at the sight and for a moment, he FROZE in his place. He had seen this before, not nearly on such a LARGE scale but as soon as the faded wooden bench became shiny and much MORE expensive than it was a second ago - he knew what was happening. A frown of worry pulled across his features and for a MOMENT he allowed himself to forget the fight. Allowed himself to FORGET MAL. The Prince took a deep breath before closing the rest of the distance between them and without a word, he fell onto his knees before her.Β
βJane?β His voice was SOFTER now, and it matched the concern in his eyes. He may have not been dating her anymore, but he couldnβt just leave her like this. Not after everything they had gone through. Gentle fingertips wrap around his wrists slowly - a stark comparison to what he had done a moment ago out of anger - and he gives a light TUG. All he wants to do is bring attention to what she was doing, and not STARTLE her.Β βIβm gonna need you to calm down a little okay? We ... we can TALK about this if you want. But you have to be careful. Please?β This was the BEN that she knew. The soft Prince, the one that was in love with her.Β
started a new job today. the shift was only 6 hours so it wasnβt too bad but its at a hotel/kennel and so im wiped from running all the dogs around all day lol. also i didnβt sleep good at ALL last night so iβll probably just hang out and chill for a while, either watching a show or legit just resting and taking a nap for a while lol. but I donβt work tomorrow so I should be able to stay up late and HOPEFULLY get some more things done because iβve been SLACKING lately and Iβm so sorry lol. its been a busy few days.

@magicalflowβ wanted fluffy things.
heβs the king of auradon, sheβs a princess. not just any princess, heβd fallen for his best friendβs sister of all girls. but then, he couldnβt be happier. penelope charming had captured his heart, and here he was, after a long night spent with princess on his arm at a charity ball. the two were in his room, tired perhaps from hours of socialization with people whose expectations were the polite, responsible, proper young people they were brought up to be. but at the same time, there was nothing he liked more than her company, no matter the occasion. he takes off his suit jacket, looking at penny with a smile on his face.Β βyou know, iβm very excited to finally have you all to myself.β parents wouldnβt be thrilled about the fact of the situation, the two alone together like this, but that was beside the point.Β βparties like that are important, iβll never deny that, but i have to say i do prefer your company to that of the rest ofΒ βsocietyββΒ
This life was nothing NEW to the Princess. Whether she was on the kings arm or not, sheβd have parties like this to go to for YEARS to come. After all, her father had a kingdom of his own to run, and her mother loved to throw a party together whenever the occasion asked for it. But even SO, this was different in that even MORE eyes were upon her than usual. Whenever sheβd be given the chance, the blonde would like to sneak off for a little bit of FUN, but with Ben by her side that was harder. More people were WATCHING to see if she would slip up and make a mistake. She wasnβt about to complain though - as she ENJOYED her time spent with him. So if she HADΒ TOΒ play the part of pretty Princess for a few hours before they could actually GETΒ to be themselves? Sheβd sit through it.Β βOh yeah? Society includes a LOT of people you know, and Iβm still your favorite?β The blonde teased him with her question with a SMILE reflected into the mirror, as she fussed with the clasps upon her dress. They were ALONE once more finally, and she needed to get OUT of this damn thing.Β βYouβre gonna inflate my ego one of these days you know that right?Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Help me out of this thing?β

he finds himself looking away for a moment, like someone could be following after themβ¦ but realistically he knows even if they were spotted coming inside, people wouldnβt dare break down the door. thereβd be some semblance of privacy for the young royals, for the moment at least. β maybe you did, but okay say this winds up in the papers, itβll blow over in a little while, it always does. like you say, we canβt cover it up, but we can let it run its courseβ¦ β things cycled, it was the way of the press, but he knew the pain of bad impressions. his decrees had been despised from the beginning. but right now this wasnβt about him. β auradon is overly riddled with judgment. maybe we go visit the cabin up north for a bit, take some time away to regroup.Β β even as he says this he knows it wonβt fix anything, to run from this. to shelter her is hardly his smartest idea, but he has his motherβs big heart, and it beats for the blonde. fingers brush a strand of hair from the girlβs face as he offers the smallest whisper of a smile. β even if itβs just a day or two and we spend our hours in the bedroom. β
This WOULD die down eventually, Penelope knew that. But that didnβt mean there WOULDNβT be lasting effects within her household. It DIDNβT mean that her parents would ever look at her the same way - or LETΒ her have the same amount of freedom that she once took advantage of. Perhaps the people of Auradon would SOONΒ forget, but THE CHARMING familyΒ wouldnβt, and thatβs what she was worried about. Despite the worry however, Penelope canβt FIGHTΒ the smile that touches her lips at his offer. A few days ALONE with him at the cabin? That sounded like a dream right now - aΒ FAIRY TALEΒ getaway. Could she accept? Her parents wouldnβt like it, and would STILL be angry by the time they got back, but perhaps thatβs what they all needed. Some time away, some time to THINK. The Princess sighed softly and lent into his touch before trying her hand at attempting a LAUGH. It sounded better than the one she made previously, and with a little more effort, her smile GREWΒ and she allowed herself an almost playful tone to slip into her voice as she questioned him.Β βIs the KING of Auradon really bribing me with a sex vacation right now?β

Β Β Β βI could bribe you with a ride.β He smirked, a lopsided, boyish sort of smirk as his eyes held hers. He wasnβt sure if it was the adrenaline or something else that was currently contributing to his almost flirtyΒ mood, but Ben feltΒ it. Whatever itΒ was. The double entendre in his tone was even clear, if the way that a couple of the girls who had flocked to him were reacting was any indication. The littleΒ βooooβ sounds that came from their lips nearly had him snorting.Looking Penelope over, Ben wet his lips.Β βIn factβ¦ you donβt mention it to him andβ¦β Ben spun the keys around his index finger for a moment before he was tossing them over.Β βIβll even let you take control.β
Benβs smirk was mirrored upon the blondeβs lips as well, and it only widened once she heard his offer. She wouldnβt have EXPECTED it from someone like himΒ Β Β Β Β Β Β Β someone who had always seemed so straight laced. And YETΒ here he was, TOSSINGΒ her his keys as the girls around him cooed over what he had said. Penelope wasnβt ABOVE taking a bribe, especially ONEΒ that was as temptingΒ as his was. And so sheβd grin as she caught the keys, and took a step ever closer to him in order to cheekily cock her head to the side.Β βYouβve got yourself a DEAL. As long as the ride is ... worth it, that is.β She assumed it WOULD be - no matter if they were talking literal or figurative at the moment, but she had to say it either way. If not only to keep him on his toes. With a laugh, she brushed past him and slipped into the drivers seat. The engine ROARED back to life, and after adjusting the seat to match HER height rather than his own, she revved it - needing his adoring FANS to take a step away.Β βHurry up PRINCESS. Or Iβll leave your ass behind.β
