The American And The Russian (Benny Watts) [The Queens Gambit]

Part 45 Together.

I woke up with little memory of what had happened, I was in a cell here in the bunker I was bloody, bruised, broken, covered in blood, sweat and tears. My heart shattered into millions of pieces to be here in the one place In the world I would rather die then stay in. One thing even in this horror made me smile against me laid Benny, as broken and brusied as I was his arms around me protectively hiding me away so if anyone came to hurt us he would be between us and them. I noticed the scar on his back bleeding, it was cut open again recently the sewing fresh, they had taken it away clearly beloved him to be trained up enough without it now I moved slightly which woke him

"Oohh sorry Benny, I didn't mean to wake you"

"It's okay honeybunny" he says holding me tighter "I'm just happy your here with me, they room you away I didn't know where they had taken you, they only brought you back an hour ago" he explained

"I don't remember"

"I barely remember anything past the injections except them taking you."

"I'm sorry I got you mixed up in all this"

"What do you mean?"

"If I hadn't come to your room that night. None of this would have happened" I cried

"Y/n, I know... the last few months have been. Well hell. But if you hadn't have come that night, we would never have spoken again, we would never have kissed, you'd have never came to new york," he explained "and I wouldn't have changed our time together for anything in this world my sweet honeybunny"

"Even after everything?"

"Even after everything" he nods "because I love you"

"I love you too, I'm sorry I never told you before you where taken"

"I'm sorry I never did, I should have told you. That first night"

"Which first night?"

"When you first kissed me. I wanted to tell you then" he says "I should have. I shouldn't have been going out so much, I should have stayed with you, I wish you weren't here with Me, that you were back in new York in the apartment, doing your dances all nice and safe" he smiled kissing my head

"I wouldn't want to be in New York Benny, if you weren't there too" I told him holding him as tight as I could. I sat holding him in my arms for what felt like hours, but neither of us ever wanted to let go of the other. I shuddered when the door to the cell opened I expected, Casak or a guard, but it wasn't it was that Staven boy,

"Follow" He says offering his hand, I was confused but I took it as he helped us both up leading us though the corridors

"chto sluchilos'?"

"my vyshli, skazali, chto ostalis' lyudi. Vernul nas, chtoby pomoch'" he explained

"Vam ne nuzhno bylo"

"Had to help" He says leading us up though the bunker

"We can't get out the way you did, neither of us our strong enough to take the swim"

"We Not go that way" He says leading us up the staircase higher and higher into the bunker, I knew we had far to go still, we were being held at the lowest point of the bunker we kept going through the various different things avoiding the traps meant to make you loose where you are, all my years of trying to escape this place I knew all of it. We turned off a set of stairs and Staven opened the door and I heard a sudden gunshot grabbing benny putting him behind me even if instinctively he tried to do the same thing but to me, and Staven dropped on the floor bleeding casak standing in the doo with a gun
