STARTER CALL || @virentis liked for a starter from BEN
THEY DID IT. they actually managed to get through it. he had wed and she was to be his queen whenever he would ascend to the crown in the unfortunate event of his father’s death. however, king or prince didn’t matter, the only part that mattered was that the adorning public saw a couple so in love with each other that their marriage also brings about an alliance between their two planets. an alliance. he always knew that he would never be able to marry for love given his position, but still he detested that he wasn’t the only one who was inconvenienced by this arrangement. he didn’t want her to be unhappy as well.
though, to be quite frank, ben’s suffering wasn’t coming from a place of unhappiness because he didn’t like her. it was quite the opposite actually. ben was suffering from the longing and the pining that he constantly had to fight himself to control, lest he make her uncomfortable. the truth was that he had become quite taken with his now wife over the course of them pretending to keep up the charade of being such a loving couple. he didn’t think for a second that she would return his affections so he kept them to himself.
he had a feeling that things would soon be going ‘off the rails’ in a sense because now they had to sleep in the same bed together and coexist together in the same bedchambers because now they were married; no longer did they have the excuse of only being engaged. still as it was their wedding night, he intended to make it special for her.
so when their made it to their room, he swiftly turned and picked her up bridal style, intending to carry her over the threshold of what was now their rooms. “just because we’re married via an alliance, doesn’t mean tonight can’t be special. you deserve a special night. TONIGHT IS YOUR NIGHT OKAY?”

@virentis asked BEN: 3. for one muse to come to the other in the middle of the night to crawl in bed with them + 1. for our muses to cuddle after one of them has a nightmare.
ONE WEEK. THEY HAD ONE WEEK UNTIL THE WEDDING. given that it was an arranged marriage and that after the wedding it would be tradition for them to sleep in the same bed, it was difficult to tell if either of them was really looking forward to the day they would be man and wife.
the lamp on his bedside illuminated a soft light around the room. he was sitting up against his pillows with a book in his lap. he wasn’t quite ready to sleep yet, so he was just up. it was about an hour later when he heard what sounded like noises of distress coming from rey’s room. brows furrowing in confusion and a small bit of concern, he walked across the hall to her room. he knocking softly, he opened the door, only to see her in the middle of a nightmare. he walked over and gently shook her awake, “hey, i’m here it’s okay.” he spoke to her softly before climbing into bed beside her, “I GOT YOU REY, YOU’RE NOT ALONE, I’M HERE.”
