"You're the boss," Ben shrugged, putting his book back so he could look at the one Beni had. He leaned a little closer to her, looking over the girl's shoulder. For a moment, his eyes wandered across the page, watching the animals moving but soon his gaze turned to the side and he just watched Beni. A sly grin crept onto his face as he watched his girlfriend, wondering how on Earth he'd managed that one; being with her, of course. Never in a million years did Ben think he'd be with someone so incredible yet here he was with Benita Hendrix. She was just too awesome.
Stroking her cheek softly, Ben placed a soft kiss on the side of her face. "I love you," he told her softly, "Just though you should know that...again." He chortled quietly and kissed her again.

Beni turned to him and smiled. "Good thing! I thought I turning out to be the..." she gave a quick count of in her head "... flavor of ten months..." She meant it something like 'flavor of the month', but it was hard to do that when they had been going out for that many of a month. She had to say, she couldn't believe it... they were past the six month mark, and she was still loving him the same since their days in Hogwarts. She tilted her head at him, thinking of all of that and more. "... but you ought to know it... I love you, too." Beni knew she didn't say it as much as he did, but she meant it all the same.

Smiling at her, Ben's hand found hers and he locked their fingers together. He squeezed her hand, never wanting to let go. Ben hoped it would be like for a long time, them so in love with each other. Now that he felt it, the auror-to-be couldn't imagine what life would be like if he didn't love Beni. He didn't really want to imagine it either. As she tilted her head toward him, Ben's lips soon found their way to hers, pressing against them and feeling that same sensation all over that always came when he kissed Beni. He figured that's what love felt like.
"Do you remember the first time we kissed?" he asked her softly, pulling back, "It was at the lake."

"I do!" Beni smiled and thought back to the night. She had recently cut his hair and she surprised him with some dinner to make up for the fact that she had to cut into their dinnertime at the Great Hall. Give or take some banter between them and the food and it soon ended up with her asking him if he had a girlfriend. That little worry out of the way... the both could kiss for the first time and happily as well.
Now there they were. Still together... still happy. "Looks like you never grew out of that funny hair," she teased, laughing as she went to ruffle up his hair.

"Wouldn't have it any other way," Ben retorted with a short chuckle. He ran his hand through his hair, pulling his fingers through it and letting it stand up on end. Ben left it there, thinking he looked quite dashing with it pointing out every way.
"That was an amazing night," Ben continued, remembering their first kiss under the stars by the lake. Of course, it had been freezing cold at the time and their original plan had been to go skating, but they never got quite that far. Instead, Ben had felt the need to kiss Beni and ask her to be his girlfriend. It seemed like it worked out better that way. As he remembered that night, the auror-in-training's hand absentmindedly brushed Beni's hair out of her eyes. "Your hair..." he began, drifting off slightly as he tried to remember, "It smelled of something sweet that night. Your shampoo, whatever it was. It was nice."

She lightly stroked her chin and grinned. "It was a peach blend." How she remembered that was beyond her. Maybe she remembered looking at the bottle when she washed her hair that morning. However she remembered, it wasn't like she had used it since then. She always tried not to use the same shampoo and conditioner once it was finished. As a hairstylist, she wanted to know which ones were best to recommend and smite. Plus, she always liked varying widely. If she could do that for other things, she could. Well, if that were true, she wouldn't change boyfriends. Not in two eternities. "Why this stroll upon Memory Lane?"

Ben was actually impressed that she could remember that. As he had learned recently, Beni never actually used the same hair stuff twice. Everytime she went shopping and he asked what she bought, he would always mimic her answer, mouthing "hair things" before she even had a chance to say it. Her remembering what she had used way back when was a feat in itself.
"No reason," Ben replied, a little too quickly to be convincing. The truth was, he was just remembering how long they had been together. They "officially" got together that day down by the Lake when Ben had so lamely asked Beni to be his girlfriend. At least, that was the official start in Ben's eyes. It didn't really matter how long they'd been together though, it seemed like they'd known each other forever. And Ben just hoped it would be like this forever.
