I do not own Falling Skies. This is my latest Ben and Jimmy story. I hope you all enjoy what I have to write. Ben is crushing hardcore on Jimmy and he thinks that Jimmy hates him because he is a razorback, but one day Jimmy sits with the Mason family for some unknown reason, except I know the reason, and don't worry you will to later on in the story, anyways something happens. You will just have to read and find out.
Ben's POV
I was sitting outside watching the other children play soccer, since I'm not allowed to play, I have to sit on the sidelines watching them have fun and it's all because of these stupid spikes on my back. I sighed in frustration when I saw the one person I wish saw me differently, but Jimmy's just like them all. He looks at me with those judge-y eyes and I hate myself a little more each time. Sometimes I wish my brother and father hadn't rescued me and just left me with the aliens, but I know they would have never done that. I have thought about just leaving the 2nd Mass and let me tell you the idea sounds very appealing, but I know my dad would come looking for me the second he knows I'm gone, so that idea is out of the question. I just wish life was easier than it is.
I look up and see him looking at me with those blue eyes; I blush and look down at the ground thinking about flaw he is pinpointing this time. Probably the fact that my spikes haven't fallen off like everyone else's have. People don't think I can hear them when they whisper about me being a "freak" or a "threat to their safety" or the most hurtful "an unwanted razorback that is only here because his brother rescued him", but I can hear them and I pretend like it doesn't bother me. One day I was walking and I heard some kid talking to Jimmy about how freaked out he was that a razorback slept in the tent only a few feet away from his and I nearly snapped at him, but I knew it would make everything worse if I did so I just kept walking. I saw Jimmy look at me and I sped up a little. I walked to my special room in the school and decided to vent in my journal that I kept there.
~~~~Time Skip it's dinner time~~~~
I, dad, Hal, Matt, Anne, and Maggie all sat at our dinner table about to say grace when we heard a voice that sent shivers down my spine every time I hear it say "Do you mind if I sit with you guys." I sat there thinking about why he would want to sit with us while my dad answered "No, go ahead Jimmy take a seat." He could have chosen to sit beside Maggie or Matt or across from Anne, but no he chooses to sit in between my father and I. "Okay everyone join hands and we will say grace." Everyone held hands and I held Jimmy's hand and I felt my face heat up. I quickly looked down so no one could see me blushing. "Dear Lord, thank you for this meal and our safety as of right now. Amen." Dad finished grace and we all dug in. Throughout the whole meal I would look up every once in a while and every time I did I find Jimmy staring at me. When I finished I wanted to leave some much, but I couldn't bring myself to leave his presence willingly. So I sat there miserable until Maggie had finished and asked if she could talk to me alone.
When we were alone Maggie brought up the one thing I wished she wouldn't. "You like Jimmy a lot more than friendship don't you?" She questioned me and gave me that look of "You better not lie or I will tell Hal that you did and he will get the truth out of you". "Okay yes, but you have to promise not to tell anybody." I told her quickly. "Now why would I tell anybody? You are my boyfriend's little brother and you're practically mine too. Come on lets get back to the table." She said and we walked back to the dining hall. When we got back Maggie and I sat down and I heard Hal whisper to her "Hey babe, what did you and Ben talk about?" she just winked at me. "Oh nothing important, he had just asked me a question earlier and I never got to answer him so I did just now." She said back to him. That's the last of their conversation that I heard because Jimmy leaned his head on my shoulder. I looked down and found that he had fallen asleep. I decided to take him to his tent. "Hey dad, I'm going to take Jimmy to his tent." He just nodded and I pick Jimmy up and started to walk to his tent.
When we arrived I laid him down on his cot and was about to leave when he grabbed my arm and mumbled "stay with me Ben." I just looked at him and decided he wasn't in his right mind "No Jimmy you don't know what you're saying. Goodnight." I turned to leave again, but he stopped me once again and sat up "Yes I am Ben. Please just stay with me for tonight. I will explain everything in the morning, but for now just please stay with me." I sighed and gave in. Whatever happens I'll deal with in the morning, but for now I will do whatever he wants if it keeps him safe and happy. I go to lay down on the floor by his cot, but was once again stopped. "No, come lay down with me on the cot." I know that this is probably going to end up hurting me tomorrow, but as of this moment I don't care about the consequences anymore. So, I laid down on the cot beside him and wrapped my arms around him as he settled his head on my chest and we both drifted off into dream land.
