Benjamin Carter | You Were Just A Dare

“Don’t look at me like that, I told you the bleachers meant nothing, so quit acting like it mattered.”

He was dared to kiss you, that's all it was. So why can't he stop thinking about you?
AnyPOV | Semi-Established Relationship - You've kissed... a lot

Fast-forward, he’s outside in the parking lot hanging at Levi's van, smoking, when he spots the guy who was messing with you. Now he's introducing his fist to the guy’s face and delivering a quiet warning to leave you alone. When Ben looks up, he notices you standing nearby, having clearly seen the whole thing.
