Work Text:
It's that time
At the end of the night when you're blind
They've been in the studio, tiredly working on this song for hours. Their visions are hazy and drowsy as they look at eachother through low lids. Ben is humming a song and Ian thinks it is the most beautiful thing he has ever heard.
And you hold out your hand till it's mine
Small touches and glances all day led up to this. It was like there was a magnet inside both of them, leading them impossibly closer. They couldn't help it. It was almost like they were made for eachother.
I'll walk you
Guide dog to you
It all started really quickly. They went from fans of eachother to friends, to something toeing the line of romance, only in a few days. Maybe it was too fast, but they were the only thing on eachother's mind.
I, if I could, I would trade you my eyes
'Cause you should see you with the clearness of mine
Ian didn't understand why Ben was insecure about how he looked. To him, he was the most gorgeous thing in the world. Like a valuable piece of art that nobody flocks to because of another, more famous piece that is nowhere near as stunning.
I want to be your guide dog
It was complicated, messy, and probably really wrong for Ian to feel this way about Ben. But he couldn't help himself around him. Straight man or not.
How I describe you when you're not around
You should see for yourself
And I'll find you a confident ground
Ian had no idea about the ways Ben thought about him. Ian had no idea that Ben was texting his friend after every session, talking about his hair, his hands, his eyes, his everything, Him. Ian had no idea that Ben wanted to be wrapped up in him entirely.
I'll be there myself
I want to be your guide dog
Ben had no idea about the ways Ian thought about him. Ben had no idea that Ian was in his bed every night, thinking of him. Giggling under the sheets of his warm blanket, keeping a soft pillow tucked underneath him, comforting him as he wishes Ben would. Ben had no idea.
Please
You would tell me that you don't agree
But I am half the man that you would be if you were me
It's a bit of a shock that Ben is sitting right in front of Ian right now, staring at him with the same eyes as always, but they seem so much more desperate now. He almost feels like it's a privilege to be sitting here with Quadeca, a talented man in his prime.
I watch you like I'm not worthy
Ben is staring at Ian, realizing some things that he never thought would bubble up to the surface. These feelings, the tingling sensation, it's all about to overflow. And it is all because of Kevin.
Hell, my love songs don't seem to age well
But how long can this speak for itself?
They both feel so strongly about each other.
