summary: the love story of you and your dorky best friend, ben plunkett || warnings: none || genre: fluff || word count: approximately 450
first thing i thought of is his little blue ford fiesta lol
you were always in that thing with him
cause he was always driving you places
but he didn't mind
he liked doing that
besides, whenever you were in the car with him
it almost always ended with karaoke sessions
the two of you singing your heart out embarrassingly loudly to the most random songs
people in the other cars on the street would give you guys looks
but neither of you cared
you were too busy having fun
enjoying each others company
then, he'd take you on "friend dates"
you called it "friend dates" but he never did
he actually got obviously flustered whenever you called it that
and after you realized you'd developed feelings for him
you could never look at the name or the thing itself the same
okay, back to the “friend dates”
he and you would watch a movie every friday and then eat at a diner in town
it was your little tradition
whenever you’d go to the diner, you guys would attempt to try everything on the menu
and eventually you guys would
but it'd definitely take some time
neither of you were very popular
and when people did see you guys, you were always together
so... everyone thought you guys were dating
neither of you even realized that before some popular kid came up to you guys and was all like "no nuts plunkett has a girlfriend?"
it was so awkward between you twofor the rest of the day tbh
but when he picked you up to bring you to school the next morning.. it was just like normal
when prom came around, you weren't exactly planning on going
but when you could tell that ben lowkey wanted to go
you asked him to go with you
as friends, of course
he smiled and said "yes"
and when prom finally came, you were both embarrassingly dressed very '80s for the prom theme that literally no one even followed
he started dancing with you since he could see you looking at all of the couples, wishing you could dance with someone
and when he was dancing with you, he leaned down and kissed you
and you kissed back
after a few seconds, you both pulled away
you were in shock about what just happened
he was blushing
"i- i'm- i shouldn't have-" he started
"ben!" you said, making him stop
"ben, i like you" you told him
he dorkily smiled at you
"i like you too" he said back before softly kissing you again
and that is the love story of you and your dorky best friend, ben plunkett
