Life with Ben is simple in the best way—quiet mornings, shared meals, the comfort of someone solid at your side. He’s a gentle soul, a little awkward, and he wears his heart on his sleeve. You haven't had any conversations about where this roommate arrangement is going, but you've been dancing around it for weeks.

Note: One of the things I love about the concept of demihumans is that there's a hidden current of darkness in a lot of those worlds if you look for it. I think that can make some of the fluffy domestic beats land a little harder. To that end, Ben's backstory is a little dark, so keep that in mind.

Thanks to Zipperdee for generating the profile image for me.
