Hello everyone and welcome to the last Prompt of February. This prompt is a standalone one. I have other stuff to say but I'll do it at the bottom since it's a lot. About this prompt: Well I didn't know what it meant so I googled it and it had something to do with not normal… again just like the last chapter if it's wrong sue me… I will tell you this has a hint of BeVin, it's one-sided though. (Today's the last day! O.O)
Okay I was going to wait till the end of the chapter to post it but since I always forget I found a link to a Ben and Rook rap that was a commercial on Cartoonnetwork. XD /watch?v=ORPw8PBXbEg
Ben's POV
"Are you sure you want to do this?" I heard Rook ask before I went to stand by the podium.
He put his hand on my shoulder comfortingly.
"Rook I have to do this. I got to stop all those false rumors going around." I said.
I was honestly scared. I didn't want it to come to this where I had to make a public announcement that Rook and I were together. He took his hand off my shoulder and I went to the podium. I had to stop all those rumors. There was even this one rumor that Rook only became a plumber because of some rule where he couldn't be with me unless he was. It was a ridiculous rumor. I could see a lot of people in front of the stage here in the middle of town. They were waiting for me to speak. They all stared at me.
"We all deserve an explanation." I heard someone scream.
"I will explain everything. Please keep all comments and questions to yourself until I am finished." I said.
They all shut up after that.
"Okay well how can I start this off? The rumors about Rook and I are true. We are together. That's the only rumor that I have heard that is true. The other rumors aren't. I do want to say that Rook and I haven't always been together. Hell I never thought I would be in this position. As we got to know each other the more we developed feelings for each other. To make a long story short Rook and I got together recently. I didn't want anyone to know but with all the paparazzi constantly stalking me it was going to get out. The only reason we came clean was because of all those rumors. It was just too much for us to handle so I had to come clean." I explained.
I looked over to my parents and saw that they were smiling. They knew about us before anyone else. They didn't agree with it at first but slowly got used to it. I looked around to everyone else and most of them had shocked expressions. Mostly because they probably didn't accept that I was gay and was so open with it. I saw someone's hand slowly rise up.
"Yes you that girl in the middle." I said pointing at her.
"I don't really have a question but I have a statement." She started to say.
"Okay go on…" I said.
I didn't know what she was going to say. She was super nervous and I hoped that it wasn't anything bad.
"I just want to say that I fully support you guys. I am bisexual myself and I hate that people can't get it through their thick skulls that it's none of their business. All those rumors that were going around about you guys were stupid. Most people are probably jealous that you guys are so happy and they aren't." She explained while shouting so everyone can hear.
"Well thank you. Miss?" I asked wanting to thank her properly.
"Sora." She said.
"Thanks Sora. Anyone else?" I asked.
"I think I speak for most people in this audience and I think you guys are disgusting people for doing this." An older woman shouted.
My happy mood from Sora turned into a frown.
"Who asked you what you thought? Ben is in a happy relationship with someone who cares about him. Shouldn't that be enough?" I heard Sora shout at her.
"Sora please knock it off. This isn't your battle." I said.
I heard that woman laugh.
"And excuse you. You don't tell someone they are disgusting for something they can't help. I will say this once and only once. You can throw stuff at me all you want but when you turn it to someone I love you will regret it." I threatened.
Everyone shut their mouths. I was rarely ever hostile towards the people in Bellwood but they were really pissing me off.
"So you're gay now? Not trying to be mean but how is that changing anything?" I heard some guy say.
"Well some people think a lot different. Now if we're done here I have a date with my boyfriend." I said smiling.
I turned the microphone off and went near Rook. He was sitting down on a chair by the stage and was smiling. He got up from the chair and we went off the stage. Then everyone started to slowly leave.
"You did that rather well." He said putting an arm around my shoulder.
"Well I didn't want to be that harsh but strict enough to get my point across.
Sora came up to us.
"Ben you think you could help me with something?" She asked nervously.
"I'd love to help. I kind of owe you for helping me back there." I said laughing a little.
"Well… Could you help me get together with my friend? She knows I'm bisexual but she doesn't know I like her." She admitted while squirming.
I went away from Rook for the moment and went up to her. I put a hand on her shoulder.
"This is something you need to do on your own. If you want my advice just come clean. Hell that's what we did and look at us. If that doesn't work and she rejects you there are other people out there. You just need to find the right one." I explained.
"But what if she isn't?" She asked.
"I'm going to tell you a little story. Back when my cousin and best friend were here and helping me fight crime I developed a crush on Kevin. Back then I thought we could work out but I found out he only had eyes for my cousin. That did hurt but we talked about it and he told me he would always be my friend. Yes it did hurt a little bit but when if it wasn't for him rejecting me I never would've been with Rook." I explained.
"Did you ever get over Kevin?" She asked.
"Well I do have to admit I won't fully get over loving Kevin but all you can do is turn that into something else. Turn the relationship love into a sibling love and it doesn't seem as bad." I said shrugging.
I knew Rook was listening in but this needed to come out.
"And if it doesn't work out with this girl we can get ice cream. If it does we'll double date and get ice cream." I said smiling. "Either way we'll get ice cream."
"Thanks Ben!" She squealed.
Then she hugged me and I hugged her back. We pulled apart and she took off. I heard Rook growl a little bit.
"Rook don't get jealous!" I said laughing.
"Why should I not?" He pouted.
I put my arms around Rook and hugged him tightly.
"Rook you know I love you! Why do I feel the need to constantly remind ya?" I asked.
He hugged me back and held me just as tight.
"I know I just love hearing you say it." He said while putting his chin on top of my hair.
I just smiled.
Wow that was a long prompt… I didn't expect it to be this long. XD Just want to point out that I confuse 'just' and 'such' a lot and I can't tell if I used them wrong… sorry if I did… Okay so this is the last prompt for the month and that makes this complete. :/ I would like to thank all of you guys! Without your support I probably wouldn't have had as much fun as I did! :D I want to thank all you guys for reviewing, favoriting, and or following this. :) I don't know if I'll ever do something like this again. I hate doing daily updates… XD You'll see more of me with BRoken and maybe some BeVin to. But most likely not another thing like this. :P Again thank you for all the support! (Even when I didn't daily update!)
I am also going to post a Rated M oneshot later on this afternoon but it's really gory and stuff like that so I wouldn't recommend you read it if you're not into Rated M stuff. :P (It is BRoken but not tied to anything involving this.) I will mention there is some death and torture involved...
