Ben Brainard x Reader (Any!) - Angst - Don't Go (Part 2)

Y/n's POV

I hadn't heard from Ben in months, not since he broke up with me. His eyes seemed to grow darker every week, his smile appearing less and less as well. He almost seemed to be an empty shell, just going through the motions. I was worried about him, but he's the one who walked away. I didn't go out much, not when everywhere I looked I saw him. Everything reminded me of him. I was sitting in my room, looking at our pictures when there was a knock. I got out of bed, making myself presentable before going to my front door. I wasn't prepared for what I saw on the other side. It was Ben, eyes swollen and red, hair pointed in every direction. For a moment I hesitated, every fiber of my being telling me to such the door after all the pain he caused me, but every inch of my soul told me to run to him. I let go of the door, launching myself at him. No words were needed. We wrapped ourselves around each other, dropping to our knees. Tears fell from my eyes, it didn't take long before I felt his landing on my back as well. "I'm sorry..." he whispered, and I just held him tighter. "I love you," I whispered back, tangling my fingers in his hair. Ben pulls away, but just enough to kiss me. I lean in, placing a gentle hand on his cheek. After a few moments we both pull away, smiling at each other. "I love you," Ben tells me, tears still falling. I gently wipe them away, smiling at him. "Don't ever do that again," I plead, and he nods, leaning in to kiss me again.
