Chapter 1 “I’m sorry..!” Angst type: Angst to Fluff <3 Cipher belongs to @YourLocalMikeyAfton Ben was in his room, his tail swaying slightly as he texted Cipher; his boyfriend. They had been dating for a while now. Ben moved his hair out of his face; his hair was black with gray highlights. His golden yellow eyes softened slightly as he typed away on his phone. 'Alright. I'll be there in a bit! ^^' he sent to Cipher before yawning and getting up. Ben turned off his phone before putting on a striped black and white sweater, black sweatpants, checkered sneakers, and his usual black beanie. He grabbed his phone off the bed and put it in his fluffy messy silvery-black fox tail, which seemed to have quite a bit of stuff inside it.(Totally not inspired by Eda the Owl Lady from The Owl House-) He opened the door to his room and walked out of his room. He went to the living room, grabbing his wallet and putting it in his tail. Ben grabbed his keys and opened the front door, walking out. He started walking to the park, which was where Cipher said he was with Josh; his coworker. After a while of walking, Ben finally got the the park. He stopped by an ice cream shop to buy some for himself and Cipher. He got himself a Cookies n' Cream flavored cone while he got Cipher a Mint Chocolate Chip flavored cone. When Cipher and Josh were in view, he dropped both cones and stepped back slightly; his eyes widened and filled with tears. Josh was kissing Cipher, who didn't do anything about it and seemed to just let it happen. Ben started crying while his ears and tail went down. He quickly ran away. As soon as he got to his house; he ran to his room. He slammed the door shut and flopped onto his bed, still crying. Ben covered his ears, sobbing quietly. "Shut up. Shut up. Please.. Just shut up.." He cried since he had voices in his head that would taunt and tease him. After a while of crying, he fell asleep. Ben soon woke up; his eyes were kind of bloodshot. He got up, and rubbed his eyes; there were dry tears stained on his face. He got up and started walking to the restroom; tears were still running down his face. He sniffed quietly before opening the restroom door and walking in. Ben looked at himself in the mirror. "I'm fine. It's just another break up, it's just like the last three." He muttered to himself, wiping the tears off his face. He turned on the faucet, splashing water onto his face. Ben sighed, shaking his head slightly, shaking off the water. He looked up in the mirror again, "Now I gotta deal with my eyes." He said, before grabbing some eye drops from one of the drawers under the sink counter. He opened the small bottle before looking up and putting two drops on each eye. Ben quickly blinked a few times before looking back down and at the mirror. His eyes soon went back to normal, “There.” He muttered before leaving the room and walked back to his. He sighed quietly as he walked, his phone dinged quietly. Ben took it out of his pocket and checked the notifications. One new notification from My love <3 - ‘Bennyyyy, where are you??’ it read. He was tempted to reply or to block Cipher, he just erased his notifications instead before turning off the phone. He sighed quietly as he opened the door to his room. He threw his phone onto the bed before slamming the door behind him; he sat down on the floor. He turned on his TV and went on Netflix; he started scrolling through shows. After a bit of scrolling, he decided to watch A Silent Voice (Real sad/pretty anime ^^). He grabbed his blanket off the bed. Wrapping it around himself, the only thing sticking out was his face. His ears were down and his tail wrapped around his leg, the tip of the tail slightly sticking out from under the blanket. Mid-way through the movie, he felt a pair of arms wrap around him. "Haiii Bennyyy!" A familiar voice said happily; it made his heart sink slightly. Ben managed to stop himself from growling before getting up. He turned off the TV, making the boy behind him tilt his head. "Benny?" the voice said quietly, Ben ignored him. Ben walked out of the room; the boy followed him. "Benny..? Is something wrong..?" he asked quietly. Ben just ignored him. "Leave me alone, Cipher.." he muttered quietly; tears filled his eyes. Cipher hugged him kind of tightly, "Benny!.. Stop ignoring me!" He demanded. Ben just kept ignoring him, "Please.. Stop igno-oring m-me.."Cipher said softly. Both of them had been crying by then, Cipher let go of Ben. "BENNY! STOP IGNORING ME!" He shouted. Cipher soon started rapidly turning into a monster, then back human. The monster started crying tears of blood. Making Ben clench his fists slightly, "Why are you upset.. You were the one kissing Josh." Ben finally said. Cipher fell to his knees, crying. "I tried pushing him away! I swear! But he just held me down!" he defended.
Ben scoffed quietly, “You’re a monster who can carry me but can’t even push him away?! He’s not even that strong.”. "I DIDN'T WANT TO HURT HIM! EVERYTIME I TURN INTO THAT MONSTER, IT HURTS EVERYONE BADLY! IT HURTS SO BAD! I DON'T TO HURT ANYONE!" Cipher shouted, rapidly transforming into the monster, then going back to normal repeatively. "So you're a monster who's willing to do something that you'll know will hurt the person you claim to love just so you don't hurt someone else..?" Ben asked quietly, his ears and tail were down. He was also whimpering quietly. Cipher sniffed, before getting up. "I guess you really were an actor." he muttered with a smile, Ben’s eyes widened as his tail went in between his legs. Ben started sobbing, "I love you, I truly do. I don't even think you love or loved me back.." he said quietly. “Oh no! It’s fine! You clearly just need some space! Oh and, I loved you, I really did! It seems like I can’t be here anymore.” Cipher said, smiling. “Loved you so much.” he added before putting on his mask, which had a smile on it. Ben just sobbed, his legs soon gave in. Making him fall to his knees. He started whimpering and whining, Cipher sighed quietly before hugging Ben from behind. “I’m sorry.. I didn’t mean any of it.. I promise..” he said softly, his grip getting tighter around him. Ben just cried as Cipher held him, “I’m sorry for being a jerk.. It’s just that all of my exes cheated on me so I became protective and paranoid because of it.” he said quietly. “That kinda explains it-” Cipher muttered, hugging Ben as tightly as he could. The end <3 A/N - BRO- I WROTE THIS IN WRITING CLASS! I also might make alternate ending for this since I love angst but I wanna this one to end in fluff cause, who doesn’t love fluff? THis took awhile to make-
