Chapter Text
Ben walks though the Hyde park with Charlotte, she has her arm linked with his as she often does ad tells him about her last stay in the US when Ben received Andrews message. His face enlightened and she smiles at him. "I think you'll meet Andrew soon, Charlotte. If that's okay for you. And the press is gone anyway." He stops to type a message for Andrew >Sure, I'm already here, where shall I wait for you? Near speakers corner? -Ben<
Andrew writes back an agreement and gets ready to leave. "Thanks, Sis." He gives her another kiss on the forehead. Seeing Ben with a woman is a sight that somehow mades his stomach cringe, even though he had barely eaten this day. "Hi there." He says, lifting a hand clumsily
"..and when I got back I found the script. Under the towel. .." Ben listens to Charlottes chatter until he could see Andrew walking towards them. He smiles and draws Charlottes attention to him. She smiles knowingly but does't say anything. She lets go of Bens arm and shakes Andrews hand "Hi Andrew, I'm Charlotte. It's nice to meet you. " Ben hugs Andrew slightly and turns to Charlotte but before he could say anything she interrups them "I'm sorry but I have to leave now, but it was nice. Thank you Ben, as always. I'll tell Wanda that you're alright. See you soon." She kisses him on the cheek and leaves with a goodbye for Andrew and the promise she'd call soon. Ben waves a hand and turns to Andrew, touching his hand lightly with his "So, you talked to Hannah?"
Andrew smiles politely and returns her chitchat, glad that she leaves quickly. Turning to Ben he rolls his eyes. "Don't go Sherlock on me, Ben. How do you know?" He felt the urge to take Ben's hand but instead digged them into his pockets. "Whereto now?"
Ben laughes and walks a part of the way "She texted me. I gave her my number ages ago when we've been in this play together." He smiles at Andrew "As if your Moriarty isn't showing up sometimes Mr. Scott." He pokes him in the side. "How about dinner? I can cook something for you this time."
"What did she text?" Andrew glares at Ben. "You didn't flirt with my babysister, didn't you?" He looks around. "Can't we get some sushi? And I'm by far jot as much Moriarty as you are Sherlock, Sherlock!" He chuckles and looked at Ben, his face turning stoic suddenly as he saw someone over Ben's shoulder. "Fangirls right behind you," he whispers.
Ben smiles weirdly "Of course I haven't. But I really like her, she is nice." Ben didn't turn and walks past Andrew, touching his arm "Pretend you haven't seen them. Let's walk over to the cabs at the other side of the park. We'll stop at a you me Sushi for you"
Andrew nods and walks with Ben, cursing the other for his long legs. They slid in the cap and Andrew told him the nearest 'you me Sushi"
After picking up a bunch of sushi and giving some autographs Andrew slipps back into the cap to Ben. "I want home now.“
"Obviously." Ben takes the bag from Andrew and they paid the Driver some Money for a fast ride home. Coming through the door he could see that the red light of his telephone was on. 6 missing calls. All coming from Wanda/Timothy home. He sighs and clicks the button. '*kkrrrrk* Benedict? I know you have some days off, Charlotte called me today and I'd like to talk to you. So please call when you're home' -- 'Benedict, it's me again, please call. I've seen some Pictures in the newspaper and want to talk to you.' .. He walks through the flat, looking for the phone and throws Andrew an annoyed look "She's seen the Pictures with Lucy I guess. Charlotte might have told her that we're not a couple but she didn't tell her about you." He walks to the bedroom "I'll be back soon, just tell her the neccesary things."
Andrew's mood to place the Sushi on a naked Ben and eat it off of him fades really quickly when he hears Ben's mom. "I'm sorry", he mouths. He sat down on the living room, not hungry anymore. He sighed and watched the bedroom door.
When Ben returns to the living room, Andrew was sitting on the Couch again. He hadn't told her about his Feelings for Andrew, he just mentioned that he was a friend who Needs help and lives with him at the Moment, the Child was his and he did just go out with Charlotte to Show the press something to distract them from Lucy. He walks to the window and Looks out. when he turns to Andrew again, a bright smile appears on his face "Guess we're free again - no press anymore"
"Good. What did your mom say?" Andrew asks and looks up. He tries to pull up a smile. "Don't get into trouble, cuz of me, okay?" He waits till Ben sits down next to him. He leans into the other, nuzzling his neck., while his hand slides under Ben's Shirt, stocking over his back. "Aren't you hungry?"
Ben smiles and wraps an arm around Andrew to draw him closer "She says hello and added that she wants to meet you if you're still here when she visits again." He bows his head to the side to give Andrew better access t his neck. His skin tingles where Andrew strokes his skin. Decisions, right. Andrew decides what he wants, Ben knows what he wants, and that was obviously the person sitting next to him, so - if Andrew would try to seduce him he would give in. He doesn't count this as foul play, not at all. He turns his head, his face now just a few centimeters away and looks him deeply into his eyes "Not that much. But..." He picks up a piece of the carrot and brings it close to Andrews mouth "..if you'd feed me I'd not mind at all"
"Doesn't it feel weird?" Andrew asks suddenly. "You're used to fair and soft skin. Women skins. And now me....with my strubble and...I don't you miss it? Breasts to touch and all that stuff?" He takes the carrot and munches it, instead of giving it over, but he moves and slides on Ben's lap, facing him. "I'm not even light weighted like all those girls..."
Ben leans back to watch Andrew settle himself on his lap and slungs his arms around him. The next would be very important and he wants to give Andrew the chance to look at him and see that he means what he says "Andrew, if you want to ask if I'm sure about this, about us, I can just repeat what I said earlier. You're a wonderful person, with a good character and a good heart and you're /beautiful/. There is nothing to miss and no need for you to have so less self-confidence. And I couldn't care less about someones weight. It#s not important to me. I found what I've been searching for - here" he touches the middle of Andrews chest, biting his lip, a wave of joy floating through his body. Yes. That's what he wants, him, them.
Andrew smiles and leans into Ben, nuzzing his cheeks with his whiskers. "That's the cutest ...nicest thing someone said to me." He chuckled. "And Steven vould be really mush if he was in the mood". He leans back a bit to look into Ben's eyes beforeclosing his own and giving him a soft kiss. Just lightly. Lips touching, caressing.
Ben gives into the kiss, his eyes flutters shut and he caught Andrew lips in another kiss, caressing his neck lightly. he smiles when he hears a rumble from Andrews stomach "Seems like someone wants some food." he runs his hands under Andrews shirt and caresses Andrews stomach, running little circles with his fingertips
Andrew smiles and leans into Ben. "Share?" He asks, sliding off Ben and opens the Sushi Box. He quickly prepaired the chopsticks, gari and sojasauce the holds out a maki roll for Ben. "Or don't you like Sushi?"
Ben sits back "Of course I like sushi, are there people who don't? But if we share I still want to feed you" He stands up and walks to the kitchen "Woulde you like a drink, Sir?" He leans against the doorframe and watches Andrew, licking his lips
"Sure..."Andrew says, chewing on the Maki himself. He sat up and turned to Ben. He would rather start out with dessert first....munching a little on Benedict... But he guessed that had to wait. He wanted Ben to make the moves. He didn't want to force him into this kind of contact - yet
Ben picks up a roll of the sushi and brings it to Andrews mouth. He was deep in thoughts and didn't recognize that Ben tries to feed him, Ben smiles and tips the piece against Andrews lips lightly "Andrew? Where are you?"
Andrew twitches and turns his head, getting some rice on his nose. "Nowhere.....only with you." He adds with a smile, wiping his nose. He opens his mouth and let Ben feed him, watching the other. "You want to be a father..." He mumbles with full mouth
At first he wonders why Andrew comes with this of all situations to ask that detail of him but then he could make the connection and smiles "Always said so, yes. But that's not why I want to feed you. This is more because it's got something... intimate."
Andrew tilts his head."Wha...? No! I-I meant i ..with me you can't be a father. I mean...yes, there's Lucy but she is not your blood." He snuggles more against Ben, needing the physical contact now
"Sooo.. You're saying..." He caresses Andrews neck with his fingertips, stroking the soft skin and leaving goosebumps where he scratches a bit over it. "...that you want this - us - to work and you want to be with me. Is that right?" He turns Andrew, because he wants him to look him into the eyes, to see that he was confident with his decision. And he knew that the time has come to make confessions, to reveal what was on his heart. "Because if it's that what you're trying to say to me, Andrew my answer would be: yes. I want you in my life as long as you want me in yours because I love you. "
