Characters: Ben/Eros (lovendesire) & Aria/Euterpe (musicalme) Date/Time: Saturday, March 24 @ 3pm Location: Cold Stone Creamery Rating: PG Warnings: None (TBD?) Summary: When you have a problem, who you gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! No...your best friend! Ben and Aria have a long talk over ice cream about their lives and loves.
Ben arrived at Cold Stone a few minutes before three. He wasn't dressed as sharply as usual, only donning a pale yellow button down shirt with the top buttons unbuttoned and a pair of khaki colored slacks with a darker brown belt. His brown hair was also slightly disheveled, making the whole look complete. If he said it was because of school, he would be lying. It wasn't even because of the small fallout that came from Arron. He looked this way, found himself zoning out in class because of the one thing in the world he wanted more than almost anything else.
Psyche was here. He found her. Ben should have been screaming the news from the rooftops. He should have been happy and excited. But what Ben actually was intimidated by the prospect of having to talk to Psyche and Zyan and depressed by the fact that she could possibly hate him and Zayn could find this the problem he predicted and run away. It didn't take a rocket scientist to realize he was blowing everything out of proportion by thinking too much. (The fact he was sprouting the same advice he should have been following didn't escape him either.)
What he wanted to do was talk this over with the one person who could set him straight: Aria. However, the timing was horrible. First, there was the arrow, then there was trying to figure out what happened. By the time she talked to him at the end of the week, he was sure she was going to be upset with him, that he didn't say anything. By some luck, it seemed she wasn't too mad and wanted to talk to him.
Now, all Ben had to do was stop internalizing this mess and get that much needed advice.
