BEN sighed as he cut the feed of the security camera. He glitched back to his human form before limping up to the stairs. Once again he thought of Hashira, hoping that she didn't meet a truly terrible fate like he had. He goes and sits in his room, turning off all the lights but the laptop so he could at least check and see about reports of the burnings. He felt a presence draw close but chose to ignore it, he didn't want to startle the ghost away after all.
He felt a sharp pain in his chest then as he looks down seeing a knife where his heart would be, before fire spewed from the knife engulfing him. He did yelp in pain, but it wasn't an excruciating pain, not as bad as water. He just shed his human disguise instantly, looking back as his eyes widened.
There was Hashira, short singed hair that was on fire, burnt up skin, pure red eyes, singed up red skirt and shirt, floating and holding the knife in his back. Overall, she was very Hot. He grinned widely at his own pun making her narrow her eyes and remove the knife.
"Hey..Hashira.." His grin faded as he finally realized what had happened. She did meet a terrible fate, she did become a spirit, she had become the one thing he never fucking wished for her.
"BEN…" she narrowed her eyes as her hair lit completely on fire, "Why BEN?! Why the fucking hell did you do all of that?!"
His eyes sockets widen as he dodged a knife to the face from her.
'Shit she's not thinking clearly and was prepared to just get a quick kill.' BEN thought as he rolls out of the way, yelping in pain at his leg and the fact the knife was now in said leg.
"You gave me nightmares! I trusted you BEN, I hoped you wouldn't hate me, I hoped you were still alive! But instead you said I needed to die, and then left me for them!" she drove the knife deeper into his leg making him cry in pain, it wouldn't kill him or really leave a wound at all, but that didn't mean he didn't feel it.
Hashira hated him, Hashira hated him, he was right all along. She did hate him, that's why she abandoned him, that's why she didn't come back.
BEN started giggling, "Y̲̥̰ou̠ ̘r̲̯̦̘͓̲͇ea̵̼l̴̘̣l̵͍̩̘̤̘̖y̬͈̯̻̞͖̲ ̨̺̥d̺̰o̪̖͝ h̬͖a͡t̖͘e͇͔̱ͅ ̪̣̠̰̞̪̬m̠e̞̙̠̖̬͖̞ ͚̦̀H̩͉a͏̱ș̛͉̙̳̲͎̻h͔ìr̯͍̹̲̲͜a͉̝͎͓̦͠?͙͓͙̖̻̗ ̵I͈̥̣̺̬ ̰͖͎̲͍̪̣w͏̝̮̠̼̠͎as̹̫̱͔̪̻͝ͅ r̪͘i̛̯g̼̞h̯̥̣̼̫͇t̡͇̣̲̳̩ ṯh̩̣̕ͅe̫͓̩̗̦͈͜n̮͚̺̯̗,̘ ̤͙̭̮wh͕͜y̡̘ ͉̬e͍l̡̜s͠e̟̩ ̣͎̦͉̼̤̫ẁ͔̺̮̮̣̮o̲̜͇̼͢u̞l̻̠̮̟̬͡d̞̼̻̤̖ ̣͔͓̯͉̥̗y̰̺̠̲̦o͖̕u̹̲ ̷̞̖le̪̘͢av̸̦e͕̦͍͇͇̪̖ m̺̥̠̲̱̳͎e̤̤̩̼͖̦̬ t̢̝͓̖̝̙ͅo̢͚͚̭̮͉ ͇͎̖̻̮̥̙s̟̮̞̱u͉͍͉̙̪f̤f̡̣̩e҉̮̙̟̟͈̭̝ŗ̯̙̗͎̦̼ ̶̮̟̫̱̬̤̲i̙n̟̞̼̬̪̭ ͇t̟ha͕t̶ ̨̠̼̩͚̘p͈̪͉͇͝l͔͍a̲c̥̳̩e̝̥͇̬̗̻̩͜?͕͔̯̳̯͕͓"
Hashira growled at him as she made the knife in his leg catch fire, he barely felt it as he lunged at her pinning her down to the ground. The fire on her hair got higher as stuff in his room started igniting like his bed.
"How and why would I save a whiny elf like you who clung to me like a lost fucking puppy?!" She screamed as she kicked him in the stomach to get him off of her.
He got knocked back into his desk, blood dripping from his eyes as he grinned a shark toothed grin, "I don't know why I ever fell for a pathetic bossy bitch like you who clearly can't even hold her shit together for five seconds!"
She yelled in frustration as she lunged for him, covering him in burns as she threw him against the bed, "Why?! Why did you ever hang around me if I'm so awful?! Why did you make me fall for you nerdling?! Why BEN?! Tell me why!"
BEN snapped out of his anger then at her proclamation. Janina was right? No, Janina had to be wrong, they had to!
"You left me to die."
"You did too."
They glared at each other, blood dripping down BEN's face staining the singed blanket.
"You're a monster BEN."
"Says the pot to the kettle." He tried to glare, but the blood kept came gushing through as he thought about it.
Hashira flinched at it, as liquid fire began poking out from behind her eyes, "S-Shut up BEN!"

Liquid fire tears fell, Hashira really didn't want to admit, not to the monster who replaced her crush, not to him.
"...Y-yes."
"A͈͟n̼̮̹̬̣̺d̴̹̺͈̝̩̥ ̴̤̜̤n͓̳͎̭̙͞o̤͔̝̹͉̣͖ẃ̩͈ ̩̦̻͕͉y̪̯̲̻ͅo̸̥̮̪̣u͇̜̠̭̫̞̤ ̖̘̩̺̭can̛̜͈̻͔̺̗'t͎̣̟͢ ̮̮͇͎̫͈̟͘s̨͎̬̼͍̲ͅṱ͔̦̞̦̣o̖͢p̟̥͠.̧̹̮͎̤̬"
Hashira could only nod as more tears fell from her face, "just S-Shut up BEN!"
She lunged at him pinning him against the bed, her hands singing the collar of his tunic.
"Its all your fault BEN its all your fault that I got killed! Its all your-" she was stopped instantly as BEN kissed her on the lips.
She melted instantly in the kiss, her mind racing a mile a minute. Why, why would he kiss her, after what she did to him, why would he still love her?!
They didn't pull away until the fire in the room had dimmed, her hair was still completely lit but it was close enough as BEN finally let go. He didn't even really know why he did it, he just did, as he started glitching up horribly, his face and his ears lighting up redder than the blood on his face.
He averted his eyes then, he still had a crush on her but she was probably willing to grab a jug of holy water at this point- and she was kissing him back now.
What felt like forever passed before they finally pulled away and looked away from each other, trying not to lock eyes again.
'Why the fuck did I do that?! AAAHHH! I MADE THIS WORSE SHE'S GONNA POUR HOLY WATER OVER ME!... Shitshitshitshitshit! I won't even stop her when she does that, I would do it myself for fucks sake if she didn't. Let's just… just get the rejection and death over with.' BEN thought as he glitched horribly on the bed, a blush on his face and ears.
'Omgomgomgomg! What the fuck had just happened?! Did that really just happen?! Stupidstupidstupidstupid! I wasn't supposed to fall in love with him again…. But I hadn't stopped, not really. He's still responsible for my death though, he is, right? I mean he did lead me there, no wait I got taken…. Ah shit why is this so hard to remember! Focus! He's responsible and I have to make sure that he knows!' Hashira panicked as she was on the floor, her head completely on fire.
They both glance at each other then and turn away both blushing because they just couldn't handle the situation right now, let alone how each other looked.
'Shit, she definitely doesn't want to kill me! Atleast with her trying killing me I would know what to do! But this! Fucking this?! If I was a computer I would have crashed now! Why does she have to still be so goddamn adorable?! It's not fair!' BEN was practically a tomato with how much he was blushing.
'Oh god! I can't yell at him! He looked like a kicked puppy awaiting punishment! I just! I just can't! The tiny nerdling is stillway too adorable for his own good! Shit! This is so, so fucking unfair!'
BEN swallowed his pride as much as he could and just, "H-Hashira?"
"W-what?"
"U-um...you're a g-good kisser?" That earned him getting a pillow thrown at his face.
"S-shut up nerdling..you big dumb dork." She stuttered out, it felt like her heart was on fire.
"...why won't y-you kill me?"
"...because you are a fucking kicked puppy when you're sad and the ears really don't help."
"I'm not a fucking kicked puppy, flower!" He growled as he sat up, the blush still covering his face.
"Yes you are." As she kissed him on the lips again, crashing again, before pulling away, "I feel like Janina is yelling at us in their grave right now."
BEN only gave a "mhmm" as he sort of collapsed on Hashira's chest, glitching out horribly. Hashira's face was as red as her flames as she sat BEN up again before realizing that he looked a bit weak.
"Nerdling?" She blinked as he just muttered, "Tv...recharge...game.."
She got up, and picked him up off the bed, he weighed like nothing to her as she carried him downstairs and turned on the tv to see his game turn on. She waited for it to load before selecting his file, he had it changed to have saved at clock tower since he wasn't going after a victim.
"Hey BEN?" She merely got a glitch in response, "my name isn't Hashira now… I'm called Heart Burn."
"Because..all the fire comes from your heart?" He grinned a bit and she blushed shoving him into the tv.
"Stupid nerdling elf." She muttered as she stomped off to go scream into a pillow.
