Alex's POV:

Ben:(drunk) I love you...

I froze and dropped him onto the pavement.

I was in total shock, like... I'm pretty sure he's the first guy to ever say that to me. Not even Isaac and I got that far.

Like, as in a romantic way, not an "Oh Alex, I'm your biggest fan, I love you" kind of way.

Well... I guess he is drunk... But they do say drunk people say the truth...

Ugh! How did this shy little dumpling get me all flustered!? I'm the one who's supposed to make him flustered!

Hmph! That jerk- OH GOD HE'S BLEEDING!!

Alex: FFFuck!

Alex: B-Ben, you okay?!

Ben: Ughhh...

Alex: Okay, l-let's get you home before a scandal is made.

I drag him into a taxi and take him home as if he was a dead body.

....

....

I should reboot Weekend at Bernie's. I can see it now, a girl kills her boyfriend by accident before their wedding and she has to puppeteer them until she reaches her honeymoon where she buries him.

Note to self, call my manager about this.

Tossing Ben on the couch, I check his wound.

Alex: Should be fine...

Ben:... Ughhh...

Alex:(sigh of relief)

(Opening theme)

Ben was working so I was doing the smart thing and practicing my "I love you"-s in the mirror.

He hasn't brought it up, I think his concussion made him forget. So when he says it again I'll be ready to say it back and get a funny-dovy reaction.

Alex:... I love you.

Alex: No, that's from "High Spy".

Alex:(clears throat)... I love you~.

Alex:... Tch. "Zombie Psycho".

Alex: Come on! Pull yourself together. An original "I love you"... GO!

Alex:...

Alex: IIIIIII...

Alex: Need to get drunk. Yeah, that'll make it come out.

Marching off to the kitchen and getting my magic truth juice out I chug... I wanna say ten beer glasses of various liquors.

I dunno, I lost count after I began singing along to "Never Gonna Give You Up".

Why? I got really into the song.

Alex: Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it!

Alex: Blah, blah, and hurt you!

Alex: Never gonna give! Never gonna give!

Alex: Never gonna give you up! Never gonna make you cry, and or something!

Alex:(pants)... AGAIN!

(DUN-DUN-D-DUN)

The door opened at the perfect time for Ben to get Rickrolled.

Ben:?!

His shocked expression was priceless. It was like he was having war flashbacks over the silliest thing.

Alex: Pffft... Hahaha-Ugh!?

It was so priceless that I laughed hard enough to puke.

The rest became a blur. All I remembered after that was Ben holding up my hair as I puked my guts out onto the toilet

Man... I really wished I got it in the toilet...

Ben: Why were you drinking so much, did something happen?

Alex: Uhhh... I was trying to say a line correctly, but I couldn't express the correct emojies...

Ben: You mean emotions?

Alex: Uhh... No... Yes... They're rebooting the emoji movie.

Ben: Oh god... The drinking makes sense now.

Alex: BLEGHHHH!

Alex:(coughing)... You're tellin' me...

In my drunken state, I came up with a brilliant plan.

Alex: Hey... Can you tell me that you love me? I need to know how you'd say it.

This was truly brilliant. He would show me funny expressions and share in my misery.

Ben: I love you.

Alex:...

DAMN THIS MAN! How can just say that so casually!? I'm the heartthrob of Hollywood, how is he making me look like a shy nerdy lady!?

Ben: Come on, let's clean you up.

He helps me get into my pajamas after washing the puke off. Putting me on the couch after a glass of water, poor bastard goes to clean up my mess.

I felt a mixture of shame and joy watching him. Shame of what he had to do and his suffering, but joy from watching his silly expressions.

Alex: Hey Looker~...

Ben: Yes?

Alex: I..(hic)... I had this movie idea... Remember that ancient flick, "Weekend at Burnies"?

Ben: That's an ancient one... Haven't seen it, but I know enough about pop culture.

Alex: I thought of a reboot.

Alex:(hic)... Fucking hiccups...

Alex: So... There's this woman, she's about to get married, but accidentally kills her fiance...

Alex: So you know... She puppets him around.

Ben: How did she kill him?

Alex: She... Was practicing her vows with him and got embarrassed so she pushed him jokingly and he cracked his head onto the bed frame or something...

Ben: Sounds like a tragedy.

Alex: Dark comedy... But maybe we can make a dramatic twist in the end... Kick people in the feel balls.

Ben: Can't wait to see it.

Picking me up, he carries me to bed.

Alex: Sorry you had to clean up my puke... If want (hic) you can do whatever you want with me.

Alex: Just don't forget the condom...

Ben: Whoa! No, no! I don't want anything like that!

Alex: What? Are you saying you don't find me sexy?

Ben: O-of course not! I-I just don't...

Alex:(giggles)

Alex:(smirks) Got you...

I felt myself fading into dreamland.

I beckoned him to come close since my voice was fading. His cheeks were so easily flushed red.

Alex:(Whispers) I love you...

I whispered before leaving him with a kiss.

I fell asleep to the sounds of him bumbling about trying to recover from my charms.

Alex:(whispers) Still got it...

So what if he can make me choke every once in a while? I can make him crumble whenever I want.

(Ben's POV:)

Cleaning things up and having some dinner, I try desperately to calm myself down.

Even if it was a drunken mistake I can't believe she said she loved me!

Tv: In other news, G-Zero was spotted saving a cruise ship from sinking off the coast of the city.

Tv: Despite his many acts of heroism, a warrant for his arrest is still there.

Tv: Related... The country is now split down the middle on whether or not to accept these new super powered laws.

Ben:...

I wonder how many times they said it to each other....?

Ben:(shakes head wildly)

I'll be damn if I don't make her say it to me more! Mark my thoughts G-Zero! She will say it more!
