Me and Ben walled out of our secret spot and just took a stroll around the village. It was nice. But as I was walking beside him I felt that we were being watched. I stopped walking and looked around. Ben noticed this and stopped.
"Hey, you ok?" He asks.
"Yeah, just feeling a bit uneasy." I say.
"Why? What's wrong?" He asked walking back towards me.
"I don't know, I-" I stop mid sentence when I spot someone.
Zack was glaring towards us from the side of his house.
Ben followed my gaze and saw him as well.
I walked up towards Zack. He stopped glaring and his gaze softened.
"Hey! Need something?" I ask.
He smiled at me, but he looks back at Ben again. I could tell Ben was slightly intimidated.
I looked at both of them. "I wonder what's wrong..."
I grabbed Zack's hand and led him towards Ben.
"Zack, this is Ben, my guard and childhood friend. Ben, this is Zack." I said trying to introduce them.
"Hi..." Ben mumbled looking the other way.
Zack didn't say anything.
"Is something wrong?" I ask him.
"Is he your boyfriend?" He asks with a cold tone still glaring at Ben.
"Oh Ben? No he's-"
"Yeah. What's it to you?" Ben asks trying his best to glare back.
"What is he doing!?" I think to myself.
"You didn't tell me you had a boyfriend..." Zack said.
"I-I don't!" I say trying to de-escalate the situation.
"Yes you do." Ben persisted.
I was annoyed with Ben. "Why is he doing this?" I thought.
"Zack, can you excuse us?" I ask.
He nodded, then I dragged Ben around the corner.
"What are you doing you i***t!?" I whisper shout.
"What do you mean?" He asks like he did nothing wrong.
"Ben did you see the look on his face? He is going to kill you if given the chance. I was trying to save you but you kept persisting that I was your girlfriend! What has gotten into you!?" I frantically ask him.
He doesn't answer. He just looks away crossing his arms. I sighed.
"Stay here." I tell him.
He looks back as I walk back out to Zack. But Im trying to fix this situation so I didn't really care.
"Hey I-"
"So he is your boyfriend?" Zack asks still annoyed.
"No! He's-"
He didn't let me finish. He stepped forward and bent over to reach my height.
"Tell me the truth." He says coldly. Im gonna be honest. It scared me, a lot.
I stumbled back a bit, being shocked at his cold, intimidating demeanor.
"H-he's not my b-boyfriend..." I stutter out looking down.
He notices that I am a little scared. He stood up and his eyes softened. He walked towards me and pulled me into a hug as he strokes my hair.
"Sorry..." He mutters.
I was going to hug back, but Ben emerged from around the corner.
"What's going on here?" He demands.
I jump a bit, but Zack stroking my hair soothes me.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Zack's POV
I don't really know what came over me, but I got a burning rage when I saw Spade getting so close with Ben.
When I felt Spade jump, I continued to stroke her hair. Ben gets mad seeing this.
"What are you doing?" He demands again.
I rest my head on top of Spade's pulling her closer.
"You lied about being her boyfriend." I say.
He doesn't say anything. Just looks away. I smirk at this.
"So does that mean she's still up for grabs?" I ask.
I feel Spade tense up, she escapes from my grip, albeit with a little struggle.
"Ok, What's going on with you two!?" She shouts.
Mine and Bens face turn a slight red and we avoid her gaze.
"Nothing." Ben says finally.
Spade crosses her arms and pouts. "So all of this drama is just nothing?" She asks clearly annoyed.
I was going to open my mouth to speak, but Ben glared at me. I already know what he would have been saying if he spoke. He had a look that said "don't you dare."
Spade sighed. "Ben, lets go back." She said walking away without waiting for him.
I gave him one last glare and headed into my home as well.
Once I stepped foot inside I tried not to slam the door, but I still did. I leaned against it in anger.
"Zack you i***t! Why did you do that?!" I scold myself.
I sigh and slide down onto the floor.
"I have to apologize later, I don't even know what came over me..."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Spades POV
We arrive back at Stormy's home and I drag Ben upstairs to his room. Once we get there I close the door and sit on his bed.
"Why did you do that?" I ask him still very annoyed.
Ben walks over and sits next to me.
"To protect you..." He mumbled.
"Excuse me? Why do I need protection from him?" I ask him.
"Did you see the look on that guys face? He looked like he could kill somebody right then!" He exclaimed.
"Correction, he looked like he could kill you." I said trying my best to keep the emphasis off the "you" part.
"Do you know him? He seemed to be soft towards you..." He said.
"Yeah I know him. I actually hung out with him yesterday." I said.
"Hung out?" He asked raising a brow.
"Uh, yeah. He wanted to give me a gift as thanks for returning his pin." I explained.
"Describe this gift." Ben said.
"Why? Are you jealous?" I ask teasing him.
"No, just curious..."
"Well it was this beautiful paladin sword with a rose gold handle!" I happily explained.
"Ah, I see. Hey it's getting a little late. Shouldn't you be getting home?" He suggested.
"Oh! I didn't even notice. I'll see you tomorrow ok?" I said as I walked towards the door.
"Sounds good." He said as he waved goodbye.
I walked out and closed the door and headed for the stairs. I waved bye to Stormy and headed outside.
I walked up to my home and opened the door. I was honestly exhausted from the situation earlier. I closed the door behind, turned the lights on and turned around
"OH MY GOD!" I shouted and jumped back.
Zack was standing there. Just waiting. It scared me because he didn't even make a sound.
I put a hand on my chest to catch my breath.
"Zack don't do that... You scared me..."
"Sorry..." He muttered.
"Well you must be here for a reason. Otherwise you would've stayed home." I said.
"I wanted to apologize, for earlier." He said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh yeah, what made you do that earlier?" I asked.
"I don't know. Just has to do with my past I guess." He said and shrugged.
"Your past?" I ask confused.
He walked towards and patted my head. "I'll tell you tomorrow ok?" He reassured me.
"Ok... Good night." I said.
"Goodnight." He smiled and walked out.
