Hey guys so this is the first one shot, and is about our number one couple: Ben and Mal.
Please leave constructive comments, because even though I've been taking English classes my whole life, it is not – unfortunately – my first language.
Anyway...let me know your thoughts or if you have any suggestions on the comment section
Kisses
Amanda.
She was running fast, sweat dripping down her forehead, her clothes sticking to her body; on the background she could hear that viperine laugh mocking her. She wasn't sure if she was going to make it, her body was already protesting. She kept running, until she tripped and fell, her leg burning with pain, as she heard the evil laughter reach her...
Mal woke up with a jolt, her body was shaking and she was covered in cold sweat. She looked to her left to see if she had woken Evie up, but her blue haired friend was sleeping peacefully, probably dreaming about crowns, dresses and a certain dwarf's son.
Mal left her bed as silent as possible and tip toed in the direction of the door; she needed a cup of water – she was sure Fairy Godmother would understand the reason why she was breaking curfew – so she was going on a quick trip to the school's kitchen.
The hallways were dead silent, not a single soul awake at this hour, the purple haired pixie tried to walk quickly and avoid echoing her steps; as much as she believed Fairy Godmother would understand, she was sure that if she ended up waking other students, the warm smiling headmistress wouldn't be so happy – and that woman was scary when she wanted.
Her destination was the kitchen, but somehow she found herself on the boys' dorm rooms' hallways her eyes instinctively looking for a specific door – that she found easily – and her feet dragging her in that direction. She tested turning the knob and almost rolled her eyes when the door swung open without protest – trust him to be so trusting as to sleep with the door unlocked.
She entered the room and carefully closed the door. Darkness engulfed his room, and she tried taking everything in; she easily spotted the giant bed in which he was found sleeping peacefully. She admitted – in her mind of course – that he looked really cute when he was sleeping, almost like all the weight of being king was taken off of his shoulders as he stumbled upon the world of dreams.
The purple head really didn't want to disturb one of his rare moments of peace, but it seemed like he had a magnetism that pulled her in, and she soon found herself sitting at the edge of his bed shaking him lightly.
- Benny...Benny – she murmured softly.
Slowly and still a little sleepy, the young king opened his eyes and stared confused at his girlfriend, thought Mal was able to see a glint of amusement pass through his eyes as he took in her appearance. A faint blush appeared on her face as she remembered that her pajamas consisted in a loose shorts and his Tourney jersey, which he had given to her.
She watched as Ben sited on the bed and stared at her with those hypnotizing hazel eyes, and gave her that cute little smile that always made a dimple appear on his right cheek; his tousled bed hair fell all over his face and Mal could swear he never looked so handsome.
- You're okay pixie? – His husky "Just woke up" voice made her turn into a puddle of goo – not that she would ever admit that.
- I was going to drink a cup of water. – She said as if it was the only explanation he needed.
- Did you have a nightmare? – His voice was laced with concern and his face scrunched up with worry. Mal could only nod faintly; she hated showing weakness, but this was Ben, and no matter how weak she felt, he would always see a strong warrior in her, but he would also show her that, she should never face bad things alone.
In a fluid motion she found herself in Ben's warm embrace, a place se called home. She drowned in his arms and let all her fears slip away; she soon felt the tears building up in her eyes, they were a mix of happy and sad tears.
She separated herself from Ben, and he, upon seeing her tears, softly wiped the away with his thumb, caressing her cheek in the process. He then got up from the bed and extended his hand towards his girlfriend, who looked at him with confusion.
- You said you were going to drink water, well I'm a little hungry, so a midnight snack would be good.
Agreeing with him, she took his hand and together they walked through Auradon Prep's empty hallways, never letting each other hands go.
When they reached the kitchen, Mal went to get her water, and she noticed Ben start taking out various ingredients and some bowls. She simply stares at him, taking in how he looked so good in his pj's – sweatpants and a plain white t-shirt that did nothing to hide his muscles – when she recognized the ingredients as the ones from the chocolate chip coolie recipe; she arched a brow at him, but he was to concentrate in making the cooking dough to notice.
They stayed on a confortable silence as Ben baked the cookies and only when he putted them on the oven, did the pixie speak.
- What are you doing?
- I know you like cookies so... - his innocent and almost shy smile made her insides turn.
- You decided to make them for me – it wasn't a question; it was a simple and true statement.
- You never had anyone doing it for you before, I just want to make sure that from now on you do – She didn't know if it was the tenderness on his voice or the phrase itself, but one minute she was sitting on the kitchen's counter and on the other she was hugging him like her life dependent on it, and he was hugging her back with so much love that it almost broke her. Getting out of the hug, they just stood there staring at each other, lost for words...not that they needed.
- I love you Mal, my heart belongs to you and I don't want it back – "I love you too" her mind screamed, but she wasn't able to voice them out, not when she didn't deserve to hear him say that on the first place, he deserved so much more than her...
Instead of speaking, Mal simply stayed still when Ben slowly – as if giving her time to refuse – shortened the distance between them. His lips were soft and warm on hers, kissing her softly and gentle, looking like he wanted to memorize the feeling. When Evie told her that kissing a guy you loved was like having butterflies in your stomach, she was lying...it felt like there was a whole zoo in there, having a freaking firework party.
When they finally stopped kissing, she just rested her forehead on his and breathed in his scent, never once stopping smiling.
While the cookies were getting ready they kept kissing some more – Mal discovered that it might become her favorite activity – then ate the – delicious – cookies, and Ben asked to escort Mal to her room; when she told him he could get in trouble if Fairy Godmother caught him, the smirk he gave her and the mischief that glinted in his eyes, made her decide that VK Ben would be a hot one.
With a final goodbye kiss, he left for his room and she returned to bed, this time dreaming about kisses with a very handsome Ben dressed as a VK.
