seerofsoul-deactivated20120825 ASKED: I'm safe. -he says, pressing his phone closer to his ears, in hopes of being closer to her- I'm gonna give you two hours, and then I'm coming home. Okay? -Ben presses his hand to his eyes then, God, he couldn't do anything right- |
*Jo closes her eyes, wishing she could tell him to just come home. But she doesn’t, can’t. Not until Adam is contained* Its perfect. Thank you…I’m going to fix this, Ben. It’s not your fault. I love you…I’ll see you soon.
| |
seerofsoul-deactivated20120825 ASKED: Jo. Don't make that sound like a damn last message. Don't you dare. -his voice comes out strangled. The only reason he hadn't been with Jo was because Casey had gotten heat stroke previously and he had had to take her to the vet- I love you too, but I swear- |
*shushes him soothingly* It’s not. I promise… But right now I need to know you’re safe, okay? I swear it’s going to be fine - I’m fine. You and Casey just….stay away from the apartment until I call you back okay? Please.
| |
seerofsoul-deactivated20120825 ASKED: W-what happened? |
Adam got turned into a demon…words and knives were exchanged. I’m okay…I was an angel at the time. But…I need you to stay away from the apartment for a couple hours okay? I love you and I promise I’ll explain everything as soon as the spell on Adam wears off.

seerofsoul-deactivated20120825 ASKED: Jo?!!? |
…Don’t freak out, Benji, I’m okay. ya know, mostly.
| |
seerofsoul-deactivated20120825 ASKED: "Well, you could be eating a lot worse. Also, I didn't get the chance to tell you, but I'm liking this form more than little you form. Well, I like them equally, I guess, but I like you best when you're my good ol' Jo." |
Jo laughed and ruffled Ben’s hair. “I’m tall enough to do this now,” he teased. “And you don’t have to worry about leaving me alone…I’m definitely seeing the perks of guy over child. Except…” Jo trailed off, shifting on the stool. “Things are just…weird…and awkward like this,” he said, blushing slightly.
| |
seerofsoul-deactivated20120825 ASKED: Thankfully the touches between them were comfortable, nothing too awkward for either of them. "So, I take it you like them?" |
Jo grinned around a mouthful of cracker and nodded, swallowing the bite. “Yeah, it’s good. Also, I didn’t eat dinner,” he admitted with another laugh.
| |
seerofsoul-deactivated20120825 ASKED: Ben smiles despite himself. "Don't sweat it Jo, it's good that you brought it up. I've been pushing it out of the way, but it's something I need to face." He scoots his stool closer to the other. "Thank you." |
Jo smiled, glad that Ben seemed comfortable, both with the gentle nudge toward his past and the fact that his girlfriend was suddenly a man. “You’re welcome,” he said simply, giving Ben’s arm another gentle squeeze. It was odd, displaying affection for him in this body and Jo didn’t want to make Ben uncomfortable so he brought his hand back to the plate of crackers and grabbed a second.
| |
seerofsoul-deactivated20120825 ASKED: "No, I haven't." He says softly, hands folding his lap. "There's just a lot of things I have to figure out for myself, and maybe once they're in order I can talk to her. I just. I don't know." Ben looks down in embarrassment then, feeling guilty. |
Jo reached over and put his hand on Ben’s arm. “Hey… I get that. It’s okay, I was just curious. I mean, we’ve never really talked about why you left home or anything. And we don’t have to…” he cut himself off with a shake of his head, “Clearly being a guy doesn’t fix the rambling problem.”
| |
seerofsoul-deactivated20120825 ASKED: "Mom used to make them for me all the time." He speaks with a slight nostalgia in his voice. "Best snack for after tee-ball practice." Ben licks his fingers free of the peanut butter with a warm smile. |
Jo laughed. “See, now I feel like we should have played tee-ball to have earned them,” he said with a grin, “Speaking of your mom…have you talked to her much recently?” His voice became a bit hesitant when he brought up Ben’s mom, since they hadn’t really talked about Lisa much.
| |
seerofsoul-deactivated20120825 ASKED: Ben smiles at him. "As long as it's not permanent. But I mean, it's still you, I'd just have to get used to it." He bites into one of the crackers then, sliding the plate towards Jo. "Help yourself, I'm glad I finally got around to making them." |
“No, as far as I know it’s not permanent…that’d be super awkward,” Jo replied with a smile. He grabbed a cracker off the plate, examining it before taking a bite. “Yummy.”
