Ben followed Darling with his milky eyes and wondered if he was being too bold and forward in asking. Maybe he should just leave it alone and wait. He bit his bottom lip in thought and before he could truly think of what he was saying, he blurted out. “Ya need any help?” He visibly cringed...

Ben smirked, noting her shy behavior as she spoke. If he didn’t watch himself then he’d start calling her cute. “Well, you do a good job of that.” He turned his hand over and threaded their fingers together, his eyes focused on their intertwined digits and how different they were. “You...

Ben’s eyes widened at the statement because surely this was just a temporary moment of insanity for the girl. “Darling, you know if you go with me than it’ll be a long time before we can make it back here to yer family.” He clearly remembered how homesick she had been during their adventure...

“I hear ya.” Ben nodded to the man and followed Darling upstairs. He didn’t suspect he’d stick around for much longer because obviously his appearance seemed to bring trouble along. It didn’t matter where he went but something would undoubtedly get stirred up, probably best for all of them if...

Ben’s murky eyes darted to Darling when she quickly piped up that she’d been involved and he had to hide the smirk he felt growing. Sometimes he forgot how different she was compared to when they first met in the desert. How much braver and bolder she’d become. His focus moved to Lawrence as...

Ben clunked in behind her and stood off to the side, watching as Marie fussed and fretted over her daughter. He grunted an affirmation to Marie’s question although he knew it was mainly aimed at Darling. “We’re both fine, probably have some more NCR visitors come knockin’ for the nights over...

“Hrm, nah, nothin’ can be simple these days. Well, guarantee if this is connected to that baron fellow then this won’t be the end of it. Yer dad will need to keep his eyes peeled.” He gave her hand a squeeze and stopped short of the house. Ben turned and bowed his back a bit in order to press...

He huffed a laugh, doing his best to steer away from the far too dark and serious conversation of only a few moments earlier. “Who woulda imagined. Kinda hoping that asshole soldier from earlier gets some kind of clean up duty with that.” There was a few more moments of silence where Ben...

He grunted an agreement and came to walk beside her, gingerly reaching out and taking her hand in his. Ben cared about Darling, he loved her, but loving someone isn’t always the answer like it is in books and movies. Finding your soulmate doesn’t magically fix all the problems, it just means you...

The soft, almost fragile tone in her voice made him stop and turn around to look at her. She seemed utterly lost and almost hurt in a way though he couldn’t truly understand why. He casually shrugged his shoulders to her question. “Yea? You wouldn’t wanna go after watchin all yer friends and...

“Hrm, it don’t matter.” He gruffed out, standing as well as he dusted himself off. There was still a slight ring in his ears and Darling’s voice sounded slightly distorted when she spoke but despite the distracting high pitched whine he was hearing he was still able to catch the look on...

Ben winced and pressed his face against Darling’s head. His ears rang, his head hurt and when he looked up at the world around them it was all distorted. He shut his eyes tightly trying to will away the discombobulating feeling and tightened his grip on Darling. “Ya okay?” He gruffed out...

Ben was waiting crouched by the corner of the building next door to the gas station. He hoped, prayed even, that sending Darling in was the right choice. He couldn’t forgive himself if something happened and she got caught in the blast or shot. The few minute she waited seemed like decades and...

“We can do it, done more difficult things before.” He smirked at her, particularly meaning her infiltration into the Legion camp when she rescued him. “Yer quicker than I am, you take it and I’ll cover ya. Slip in, slip out, it’ll be easy.” Ben gently placed the explosives into her hand...

“Hm, dunno. Seems like there’s quite a few of em’, gonna take more than a few well aimed shots to get their numbers down where it’s favorable for us. Reckon if we start lettin off pops at em that they’ll swarm us like locusts, good cover or not.” He stayed quite for a few moments in thought...

He grunted an affirmation that he’d heard her and swung his pack onto his back, following in her footsteps down the stairs and out the door. This go around they had flashlights, something that Ben immediately considered investing in. Darling was right in her estimate that it wouldn’t take long...

“Sounds good ta me.” Ben followed her back inside the now messy room. He quickly slipped on the rest of his clothes and grabbed his rifle, checking it over before tossing it over a shoulder. “You a better shot now or do I still gotta keep your ass covered?” He smirked, deftly going through...

Ben smirked at the question. “Couldn’t sleep now even if I wanted to. Gotta let some rage out. Watcha got in mind?” He should have never doubted her, that spirit and fire she’d grown while in the deserts was still there and it burned just as hot. “Long as I get to smash someone’s face in...

Ben growled, jaw muscles flexing with his barely contained anger as he watched the ranger go. Fuckin assholes, the lot of him, he never liked them. He turned his attention to Darling’s father and grunted an affirmation. “Fine. Nothin we haven’t dealt with before.” The words left his mouth...

Ben growled, the sound low and intimidating. The man was being absolutely condescending to Darling, completely ignoring the fact that she and he were the only ones up here with the bound men so obviously she was capable of much more than fretting like some house wife. “So does that mean you’ll...
