The workday was coming to an end, and Finnick was counting money from the cash register. On the other side of the counter sitting in a chair was another charr eating a odd concoction of food.
“Y'know Finnick… you should really put these on the menu, I’m sure people would love them.”
“Heh.. this a place of fine dining ben… not a fast-food restaurant.” Finnick says as he continues to count the money his restaurant earned for the day.
“That may be true but think about it. People eating potato fries enveloped by a slice of pepperoni with jalapeño cheese as dipping.”
Finnick smiles “right. You just want me to add it to the menu so you can not only get a discount, but also get it without having to hassle me with the promise you’ll do one of my chores if I do make 'em for you. Nice try Ben, but I promise I will make you more when we get home. You seem to really like them.”
“I do, really. Most of the time I’m great full for your culinary skills. but this, heh this would knock my socks off ..Heh.. if I wore any.”
“Say Ben. What month is it?”
“Uhh… November…. No… December. right?”
“Eh…. I’ll just look at the calendar.”
Finnick walks over to a calendar and checks it. “Hm… it’s August…”
Ben perks up
“Oh hey! It’s the month of our anniversary!”
“Indeed, it is.” Finnick responds
“We should do something special. Cmon Finn.”
“Heh our anniversary isn’t for another 18 days.”
“Yeah… but… c'mon I’ve been meaning to do something big with you, y'know just an event for you and I.”
“Alright then, but no parades like when you were Khan-Ur.”
“I was Khan-Ur?”
“Heh… yeah… a stubborn one at that too.”
“Oh… I see.”
“You…. really don’t have any recollection do you?”
“I mean… sorta… like I said that procedure wiped a good chunk of my memory… Some days I’ll remember I was a leader. other days I can’t even remember who I am. kinda scares me. but I know I’ll be fine if I’m with you… it’s how it’s been since I proposed to ya.”
“Daw..”
Ben slumped over the table. “Almost done? I finished eating.”
“Yeah, just gotta lock up for the night then we can go.”
“Oh good, don’t know how long I could stay just watching you count money.”
“Heh… alright big guy let’s get going.”
“With pleasure.”
Soon the two close the doors to Finnick’s cafe.
“Alright… now what Ben? What ya wanna do that’s special for me?”
“Alright… first we need to go to my tavern.”
“Psh, getting drunk is your special thing for me?”
“Nah, just going to get a bottle of your favorite wine.”
“W-wait the one with the pink label?”
“Mhmm.”
“I… n-no Ben I couldn’t.”
“Heh you can, and you will. It’s my tavern and I’m treating you tonight.”
“Mmnn well…. Ok you win.”
Ben kisses Finnick on the cheek.
“Alright let’s get going yeah?”
The two began walking to bens bar, known as “The Matchstick”
The two arrive and Ben goes up to the bar
“Oi Clack.”
“Yeah boss?”
“Think I can get that bottle of wine my husband loves?”
“The one with the pink label?”
“That’s the one.”
“Heh, sure thing, annnd here ya go.”
“Appreciate it a lot. I’m gonna be treating him tonight.”
“Anniversary tonight?”
“Eh sorta… it’s the month of our anniversary and I wanted to do something special for em.”
“Ah, I see, we’ll you two have a good one ay.”
“Heh will do, and again thank you for the wine.”
“Hmph, how can I reject my boss? You’ll just fire me or get it yourself.”
“Pft, I like to think you keep my drinking habits at a low.”
“Someone’s gotta stop you from drinking 7 kegs.”
“We’ll mission accomplished, you have a good night alright?”
“You too boss.”
With that Ben and Finnick left.
Ben passes the bottle to Finnick.
“Here you go my liege.”
“Bah, stop it ben p-people are looking, get up.”
“Hmh. Alright… let’s get going.”
Soon the two arrive home.
“Alright… you sit on the couch.”
“Oh? Alright.”
Ben goes into the kitchen and within 10 minutes he is back. He had a platter of crackers, cheese, and ham.
“Heh… I see the chef has made a gourmet dinner for me.” Finnick says
Ben smiles a bit “heh quit it, you know I can’t cook for shit.”
Ben places it down and sits with Finnick, he then hands Finnick a wine glass.
“Daw? I have to share the bottle?” Finnick said jokingly.
Ben chuckles “well if you drink it all by yourself again you better not come to me for help when you’re vomiting.”
“Bah, that was two years ago! I can handle my wine now.”
“Sure, you can finnick, now c'mon pour me a glass.”
“Alright alright”
The two soon began eating from the platter while drinking wine.
“Hmmm…”
“Hm?”
“Oh... I dunno… just feels like there’s something missing…”
“Heh what do you mean ben?”
“Wait here a moment yeah?”
“Uh, ok.”
Ben goes downstairs
A small amount of time passes
“Hey ben, better hurry, I’m gonna finish the platter soon.” Finnick yells.
Ben soon appeared upstairs carrying a gramophone along with a few Records.
“Here we go. some music.”
Music began playing as Ben made it to the other side of the room where he then dimmed the lights.
“Heh, already in THAT mood huh?”
“What? N-no no no, at least not now… I just… wanted to set a mood.”
“Heh right.”
Ben sat down again. Soon he leans towards Finnick.
“I just wanna lean against you. That's all.”
“Hmh.. don’t need music nor lights to do just that Ben.”
“Yeah… I know... but… it feels better this way…”
Apart from the music playing, it was silent. No words were being spoken. The citadel is a place of many loud noises… yet somehow in a large home with two charr there was no noise at all.
“This is nice.” Ben said
Finnick kisses the top of ben's head. “Yeah.”
Soon Ben chuckled.
“What’s so funny?” Finnick asked.
“Imagine if we got dressed in our wedding outfits…”
“Heh… I’d imagine we’d both look fat in them.”
“Yeah… but… thinking about it… kinda makes me want to.”
“Hmmm… how about this, let me have an extra glass of that wine there and I’ll dress up with you.”
“Deal.”
The two went upstairs to find their wedding attire
“Hey Ben, help me with these pins.”
“Oh yeah sure”
“Alright… they’re done.”
“Turn around.”
“How do I look?”
“Stunning… I feel like a deer in headlights… I can’t look away.”
“Heh thanks. feels tight.”
“Oh, I’d imagine. We sure as hell aren’t in our prime anymore.”
“You said it.”
“Wanna know… dance?”
“Sure. Let’s go.”
And so, the two went downstairs, after clearing an area of their living room to dance in via pushing all the furniture to the side, both of them held each other’s hands. Ben put his hand on Finnick’s back region and Finnick put a hand behind bens neck. As the two danced, they messed up from time to time, they didn’t care much, they knew they weren’t good at dancing, they just cared about having fun.
“Heh can’t believe I’m married to a mercenary.”
“Pft what do you mean by that Finnick?”
“Oh, I didn’t mean it like that… it’s just ... heh… my parents wanted me to marry some dumb female just so our families would merge together for business purposes… instead… life sent me down a different path.. parents died… my family lost all of its money… I’ve had boyfriends and girlfriends but none of them ever stuck… until I met you… by the legions you were so… I dunno… stupid?”
“Pft, wow thanks Finnick.”
“Yeah yeah… but. I loved you… you were stupid in the fact you’d sacrifice your own body or life just to save people…save… me…”
Ben sighs “yeah… guess it was my way of trying to right my wrongs back then… y'know..”
“Yeah… well… I’m glad you were smart enough to live on. We married… have been for years now… thanks for sticking by me.”
“Heh, you kidding me? You were the best damn thing that ever happened to me, I’d kill myself if I ever lost you.”
“Besides… because of my “stupidity” I got lucky and met a handsome charr with an even beautiful attitude.” Ben stated
“Bah, stop it ben. I aint handsome.”
“Hmph… who said you aren’t? Whose guts do I need to spill?”
“Oh stop it you.” Finnick says while chuckling.
“Heh… I mean it Finn.”
“Yeah. I know. it’s just even after so many years I dunno how you see I’m handsome.”
“Hm… well… you’ve got a lovely nose… beautiful pearly eyes… you got the horns of an elegant beast… those spikes on ya look cute… and that voice of yours? Hoo boy. I can be a soldier dying in an open field and if I heard your voice, I’d think an angel had come down to comfort me.”
“Pft... yeah right…”
Ben pulls Finnick in and makes out with him.
“Oh.”
“Hmph… now tell me… why do you think I’m handsome?”
“Easy Ben… I mean look at you… despite the fact you’ve been through hell and back you have a face I’m attracted to. You have a nice beard… and that toothy grin along with how strong you look… I’m sure you have to sway away other charrs.”
“Heh… you drink too much or are you in need of glasses?”
Both smile and stop for a second to stop dancing, they look into each other’s eyes, silence fills the room…
“…”
“…”
“I love you ya Ben.”
“I love ya too Finnick.”
The two once more made out again as the music played in the background of their home.

Hello again, and thank you for reading this far.
This was a little thing i had the idea of way before pride... in fact i started this piece before the month of June. The idea of the piece isn't a piece I made just because its pride month, its not to get likes or favorites. Its just a piece ive made because im always writing about these two or talking about these two being in love yet i draw more art of Ben and his Nephew "Grenar" more than I ever do these two together so I just thought, well they're in a relationship and after years of them two being together i wanted to write them a story and make them a piece of just how far the two have come along with showing how they tend to act around each other. Ben may be serious and sound stubborn at times but he does want to have fun in life and there's no one else he'd rather spend that time with than with Finnick.
