#ace ben

It def got eaten! that’s so annoying but ANYWAY thanks for sending again!

Ace Ben was actually one of the first kind of HCs I did so I’m so happy.

Here’s the OG

And of course I have more ideas for aroace Ben:

It never occurred to Ben to like someone before in any way, but to be fair to him, he did grow up isolated in an evil mansion as an experiment so it’s not entirely his fault.

Klaus had crushes, but that was Klaus. Klaus could find a crush in the middle of a robbery (and had done, multiple times.)

He didn’t think much of it, even when Diego started crushing on people, or Allison talked about how dreamy actors were.

Ben had no idea what she was talking about. How could she like actors when she didn’t even know them?

He doesn’t get long to think about it before he dies.

Which, by the way, sucked. 0/10 recommend.

He starts to get a little confused after he dies.

What luck, right? Who figured out their sexuality AFTER DEATH? 

Klaus liked EVERYONE.

Ben hated EVERYONE.

He could always find something wrong with Klaus’ partners. Klaus called him picky, but Ben genuinely couldn’t see anything good about them.

He starts to wonder if maybe it’s because he’s dead. Dead people can’t get crushes, right? That’s a ghost rule... probably...

He’s 23, 6 years after his death, when he hears the word asexuality for the first time.

He barely hears the conversation because Klaus so high, even Ben can’t help but fade in and out.

It’s almost an entire 24 hours later when he manages to keep a hold of reality long enough to talk to Klaus.

“What were you talking to that guy about yesterday?”

“Oh, just sexuality and stuff. He didn’t want sex because he’s asexual. I can respect that.”

“He’s what?”

And that is when his brother explains everything to him. Apparently, Ben is not broken or dead. Well... he is dead, but that’s not the reason for his total lack of interest. Klaus tells him that some people don’t want sex and some don’t want romance, and some don’t want either.

“Can I be that?” Ben asks, because he’d never thought a label could’ve applied to him before. 

“I thought you already knew you were aroace, dude!”

And that is how Klaus kept Ben’s own sexuality from him for 6 years.

Steven: We had slushies. I had a blue one.

Glitchy: I had a red one.

Silver: oh

Silver:

Silver, blushing: OH

Ben:

First of all that ending was hilarious because I imagined u yelling it in a speeding car driving away like “I have more but byyyeeeee”

Second yeah I kind of saw that too as in he was ace so he romantically liked Jill but was taken aback by her “okay sex now” cuz he was like wait damn that’s part of it???? I forgot!

I anticipated your needs!

I am ace! And you know I have headcanons!

I think I connected with Ben the most, so him being ace would be amazing.

I can imagine him growing up with Klaus and just not understanding at all when Klaus goes through his ‘oh my god I’m pan’ moment. Because it had genuinely never occurred to Ben to like someone before. Klaus shows him pictures of women in magazine and Ben can only shrug. He shows him men too, and again nothing clicks. They’re just people. Sure they look nice but so does a pretty painting. Doesn’t mean he feels the same way Klaus feels.

Except he dies before he can properly figure it out. And he watches Klaus jump from relationship to relationship and Ben still doesn’t get it. Because why does Klaus need to be with people like that? What does he see in all these strangers that Bens missing.

I do think really have personal headcanons for each sibling cuz I feel like right now with barely anything confirmed it's great that they can be anything people want them to be.

The only ones I will say is Klaus is nonbinary pan, since Robert confirmed it and that's really important representation.

Ace Ben in the dream!!!!
