Jed and Ben sat next to each other by the fire next to the Old Mill. Ben looked up at the night sky. Stars and their constellations sparkled against in the midnight canvas.
Jed watched him, smiling. “What are you thinking about?”
“Do you know the story of Eros & Psyche,” Ben asked, giving Jed his attention.
“Another relative of yours?”
Ben chuckled. “Yeah. Eros fell madly in love with a mortal, Psyche. She was the most beautiful woman on Earth in her time. Wow, Aphrodite was jealous and did all in her power to dissuade Eros & Psyche. Put her through trials and she almost died. Aphrodite eventually gave in and Eros gave her magic.”
“I thought it was ambrosia.”
Ben raised his eyebrows. “Ah, you do know your mythology. Different words, same thing. Anyway, Psyche became immortal, a god.”
“Nice story. “
“Yeah.” Ben turned away back to the stars.
Jed leaned in. “What’s wrong?”
It’s…nothing,” said Ben, shaking his head.
“No. Come on. What is it?”
Ben sighed. “I’ve lived a long time and I probably always will.”
Jed nodded.
“Since Ashur’s death and my curse, I didn’t think I would get a chance to be with anyone. I guess what I’m asking is,” Ben turned to Jed. “If I could get the magic again, would you take it and live forever with me?”
Jed furrowed his brow. “Are you proposing to me?”
“Hypothetically, yes. I know it’s a strange question.”
Jed drew closer to Ben. Their foreheads touched and their eyes locked.
“I would.”
Ben smiled. He came near, meeting Jed’s lips with his.
“But what would we do?”
“Oh, I haven’t a clue,” he said before he busted his laughter.
His mirth caused Ben to do the same as they both stargazed.
At this point, the Old Mill needs to be their official hangout/place. All the good stuff has happened there.
It might be too early to say this but Ima say it anyway…
Ben & Jed is the healthiest and most interesting relationship on this show.
Jed was a bully but he didn’t bully his crush. He’s grown over the seasons.
The relationship is not rooted in lies, deceit, abuse of power, and Stockholm Syndrome (sorry Freelin, even though I do love you). They are honest, patient and protective of each other but so far, not to the detriment of other people’s lives (Handon). That is all.
