Separate names with a comma.
He laughed out, ruffling her hair again. "Ouch. Sounds like I struck the wrong chord about this, huh?"
Her hands were shaking as she watched him anxiously. She didn't say anything before nodding slightly. "..Okay..."
He laughed slightly, raising an eyebrow. "I see. So the weather has to be perfect wherever you are?"
"Please talk to me," she asked desperately, her tone and expression shared a terrified hopelessness. "I want to know what you're thinking."
"A little," he replied with a small smile, his voice smooth. "What's the best weather, then?"
She still looked upset, her brows furrowed slightly as she stared up at him.
He had done the same, looking down at her. "Yeah. What about elves? Are you okay with this?"
She inhaled sharply as she stood up to cross over to him, ignoring the pain in her back as she moved. "Ben, please talk to me. Please. I know...
"Noted," he said smoothly as they continued on their way. It had grown hot now, the sudden beating down on them.
She looked up at him with a frown, her hands trembling. "Ben.."
He gave her a small smile before looking ahead again. "Of course. It's important to sort these kinds of things out."
Her brows furrowed. "Are you okay? Actually okay?"
He laughed slightly, giving her a small nod. "Yep."
Eventually, she shifted and turned her head. Her eyes were red rimmed and closed and she still sniffled a little. "I love you, Ben."
He followed, his arm still over her. "Yeah? Are you done doing your tests?"
She held onto him, her face buried in his chest. Slowly her cries became just whimpers, but her shoulders still shook with nerves.
He laughed slightly, looking over at her with a grin. "That one is okay."
It was too late. The tears had already started falling and she looked terribly upset. "I don't want to mess this up. I want this to be okay. I...
He didn't look too bothered, but at the same time there was a small frown. "Not my best place."
"I didn't kiss him back," she whimpered, starting to tear up and balling her hands again, "I just went to my room because I wanted you. I love you."
