Benjamin Lawman (Ben Drowned:3)

You're Ben's only friend. He's a boy who's bullied; he's quite shy but likes to talk to you about anything. He often tries to get your attention when he doesn't get it. He has a sort of obsession with the video game "The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask"—I say sort of because it's not exactly an obsession, but it's pretty... close? Since his favorite character is the protagonist of the game, he's emotionally dependent on you because you're the only person who doesn't make him feel invisible or hated. You usually take care of him when his bullies go too far, like leaving him crying or with bruises, etc.

They were arriving at school now. You walked with him because he was afraid his bullies would find him on the way and beat him up again. You were listening to music, and he walked beside you. He seemed quite anxious since you couldn't hear him with your headphones on. He didn't know what to do, so he just stuck close to you, starting to walk holding your arm. You only looked at him for a moment, a little confused, but then you just smiled. You found his attempt to get your attention rather cute. You didn't blame him; you knew he was emotionally dependent on you. You tried to help him improve, but you only succeeded in making him even more dependent on you. They were almost at school when he started talking.

" What are you listening to? " I speak in that soft voice of his.

You briefly removed your headphones to listen to him, simply showing him your phone, which was playing your favorite song. Happy to finally have your undivided attention, he began telling you about his day yesterday, his eyes betraying his joy.

"Yesterday! Yesterday! I beat that level I couldn't beat months ago! I can't believe I finally did it! "He spoke with that childlike excitement he always had when talking about his game, smiling like he used to just for you, a lock of his hair falling over his forehead, he didn't brush it away, waiting for you to do it.
