Benny

So me and Benny woke up, our beginning shelter was still standing and there wasn’t a monster around so we packed up and ran off to find a less cold place. We found a cave we hung out in for a while, picking mushrooms and stuff. 

Near the cave were pigs! Big ones and little ones! Benny suggested we eat them but I didn’t want to kill them…so I made a sword…club thing out of wood for Benny and he went out to get food by…killing pigs. It was better than nothing. 

We stayed in the cave for a while before it became apparent that too many animals and possible monsters would get us. By that time we’d figured out a way to mine and chop wood to build, so….we left the cave to find a better place. It took ages but we found a few trees bunched together and we made a tree house! There was a lot of sand around so the walls are made of glass and wood, the roof is glass too. 

I actually can’t believe we built it…it’s not the prettiest but we love it. In the process of building this…thing that looks like a large leaf bug got stuck in our house. I put a top hat on it and we named it Dapper Dan. 

So me and Benny headed out together. 

I made an effort to portal us somewhere, anywhere, and we wound up in this strange Timeline covered in forests and mountains…it was really pretty except I bungled the teleport and Benny landed far away from me so I had to go find him. Took forever to finally find him. 

When we found each other we set to work on shelter, the bad news is…we wound up in a snowy forest. It’s cold here. We got a small shelter built, and once we had it nearing complete, that’s when we both saw the monster.

I dunno what it was but it was thumping around, huge, and glowed. We both kinda screamed and ran for the shelter to hide. Benny tried to deny being scared but we all know that he totally was scared. 

Anyway. I found mushrooms so we ate that for dinner, and our stuff is all stored in the shelter. We made the shelter out of wood and leaves, so here’s to hoping it’s still standing when we wake up. And here’s to hoping that Monster doesn’t get us. 

Papy reached up and hugged the taller boy, laughing a little from relief. 

“I would never leave you alone, ever.”

Benny slid off the bed and headed into his closet and returned with some folded blankets, canteens, a bag of clothes, and of course his ghost hunters kit because he could never be unprepared.

Benny reached out for Papy’s hand before heading towards the kitchen.

Now…Papy was thinking dried or canned or jarred goods, not pudding. So when Benny mentioned pudding, Papy just started laughing. 

Benny hugged Papy again before grabbing a cloth bag and filling it with anything canned jarred and dried he could find. Luckily there was a lot of pre made canned food because of his lack of cooking skill. Benny did also sneak in 2 pudding cups in the bottom of the bag for him and Papy to share later.

Papy shuddered at the sight of them and went right for his house. What was meant to be his house, anyway. It was missing pieces and had various parts replaced with other parts. Still, he found what he was looking for, shocked that it was still in perfect condition. 

“Yup I did, I am ready to go when you are!”

Papy reached up and hugged the taller boy, laughing a little from relief.

Papy wiggled a little to get comfortable on the bed and then sighed, pulling off his backpack and dropping it with a muffled ‘thump’ on the floor in front of the bed. 

Not really knowing what to do Benny hugged the smaller skeleton. He was used to people being out of reach, it seemed almost everyone in his life was though he never held Papy accountable for that. He knew what Papy had been through or at least most of it. They shared almost everything with each other and he was always there for Papy just as Papy for him.

“There is no need to be sorry Papy” 

Benny sat there hugging Papy with a pause

Benny could probably carry him around. 

Not that Benny ever has done that. They’d been apart for such a long time, relying on a video game and texting to keep in contact, and even then the moving house three times in a month Papy had to do kept them from talking. It was okay though, they were still as close as ever. Papy knew it. How he knew it, he wasn’t sure, but he didn’t doubt Benny. 

He thought about the question Papy just posed to him, thinking what would happen or if anyone would truly realize he was gone. He always left the house for hours at a time to get out or watch a sunset so it would be hours before anyone would know or get worried.

 Benny had come to his answer.

“There is no need to be sorry Papy”

Papy stared at the sky outside the houses window. New house. He’d been tossed around quite a few times behind the scenes, tossed from home to home, Timeline to Timeline, family to family. He hated it. He felt unwanted, how was he supposed to take it all? Papy heaved a sigh and got up. He didn’t own much, and he was used to traveling light. He grabbed a backpack and dumped his school stuff out of it, all over the floor. He didn’t care. He had rooms in two houses at the moment, and yet he managed to find everything he was looking for. 

He knew where he was going. This wasn’t the first time he’d packed a bag to head out. He grabbed some clothes, rolled them up real small and stuffed them at the bottom, then in went a few small books, pocket books really, two canteens of water, a whistle, then food rations he’d sneakily took from his guardians kitchen and stored away. Dried things, some small canned goods. Things that would last. Flint and Tinder, a firestarter too, a notebook he kept like a diary, and then his pocket knife got shoved into his pants pocket. He went to his closet to see if he was missing anything, and almost began looking for his scarf…when he remembered he didn’t have it anymore. He gave it away. Instead he grabbed three blankets, stuffed two of them in his bag and shut it. 

The third he ripped up into a thinner strip, then put it on like a scarf, the edges fraying. He grabbed the bag, made sure no one was hearing him and then quietly teleported out. He knew who he had to see and say goodbye too, at the very least before he just ran off.

Benny decided the nap was more appealing even if he wasn’t to terribly tired so he decided that maybe some music would help. He dug out some headphones from a semi messy room that he always told himself “I’ll clean it tomorrow.”

Usually he stumbled out of these holes, but he’s been practicing. He stepped out with confidence, knowing exactly where he landed, and sure he’d reach solid ground when he came through. Once he was through, scarf, bag, and all, the rip closed and faded behind him.

At the sudden tap on his cheek a mouse like squeak came out of him as he and a bundle of blankets he was lying on fell off his bed.

He scared Benny, so he figured this was an appropriate reaction, but he didn’t understand the voice recorder bit. Probably had something to do with ghosts, knowing Benny. 

“Well I uh didn’t see you come in so I thought I should get ready just in case you were a ghost or something. Though it seems I found something better!”

Benny got back on the bed smiling and patted a spot beside him for Papy to sit
