Going Through the Motions [open]
Who: Ben Braeden and YOU
Where: All over Mandalus
When: Monday through Wednesday of this week
Warnings: Nothing beyond emo not!Winchester
He had left the Enterprise awhile ago at this point, and was crashing still with Snow and Charming. He helped out around the place a bit - he felt the need to earn his keep after having been working so hard on the ship - but he was left with a lot of time on his hands and not a whole lot to do.
It took him awhile to risk exploring again. The fears of being snatched up again by the cult was evident as he had taken a kitchen knife and stuck it in his boots so that he had something to fight with when he was by himself, even just around the farm.
Slowly he started to make his way back into the city, though. He was careful though. Always in areas that had a lot of people, but not too crowded. He was back at the farm before the sun set. He didn't take any risks and just kept his head down and watched people.
He was trying to learn faces to know who were people like him, and people who belonged in this place. Who he could trust. And who he needed to stay far away from.
And sometimes he would ride his bike past the place he knew Dean was working and stop a moment. Ben kept debating on what he was going to do when it came to Dean, but in the end he just kept riding. His finger kept hovering over the button to call him, but never pushed it.
Dean didn't want him. That's really all that it came down to. Ben was there, he remembered that Dean always left and even took away his memories of him, and now after giving them back, he hadn't seen or heard from the man. So it was obvious Dean just didn't want him, and he wasn't going to try and get him to change his mind again.
He would just hope that eventually, the System would find him and send him home, because he really didn't want to be here anymore.
