𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐲, whether that be physical or emotional. she had relied on elena to be the one to navigate her through their more difficult moments and in most of her past relationships, she would just remove herself from the situation and wait till the heightened emotions had calmed down, then she would find another way to make it up to them in a different way. sex was 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲 but intimacy scared the shit out of her. except if it scared her, it practically left ben frozen and he was looking to her help him through this. which was why she had to push through those feelings that made her uncomfortable and help him, she wanted this, she wanted him more than she ever could've expected. knowing how difficult it was for him to talk about his own feelings, but he was trying, made it easier for her to be able to be honest. after losing elena and having so many 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐬 about how things went down, how she had missed out on not saying anything about how she feels, she wouldn't let that happen again because she knows elena would've wanted her to keep fighting and to keep loving someone.

𝐛𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝'𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐦. sure, he was a good and fun fuck, but falling in love was the part she didn't expect, it caught her off guard and at first, it made her feel like she was losing it. realising that she didn't want anything to happen to him made her feel sick at first, she knew that if she felt like this, it meant that she had something to 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 and she already felt like she had lost so much. she didn't realise when she sent butcher and the boys to russia that would've meant they would find soldier boy. she had believed he was gone, just like everything one else and then he comes, it shifted everything and gave them some sort of hope that they could actually stop ares. but as much as she was scared to lose him, she felt better going into any fight knowing he was at her side. they worked well together, better than anyone had ever expected, they were 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐲 and fierce, it was something she had craved without realising she needed it. sure, her and homelander could work well together, but he had been selfish in a way that meant there wasn't always room for anyone else. which she had been worried that soldier boy would be the same, but he wasn't and the two of them just seemed to know exactly what the other was thinking in a fight, able to finish a move and it was seamless. he may have been unexpected, but now she would do 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 to keep him in her life and at her side.
𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝, her hand resting on his chest and she can feel the shift when he talked about russia and she could only imagine what he had gone through. she would do whatever she had to do to ensure that he never ended up in a place like that again, that he would get to have his freedom and enjoy his life. he would've fucking earned it if they were able to actually 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 ares and his washed up version of the seven. when he cups her cheek and his eyes meet hers, she can feel the way her heart is racing against her own chest and she almost wishes she couldn't feel it, it was distracting and all she wanted to do was hear him right now. yet she couldn't help but blink in surprise as he called her maggie, a name that felt like it belonged to a stranger considering how many people called her maeve over anything else. his words meant more to her than she knew how to say, she just smiled softly before moving from where she was, straddling his hips and hands move up to cup his face as she kisses him with a soft groan.
𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬, feeling vulnerable but she knew that if he could try, so would she. ben was right, this was forever and she wouldn't ever take that for granted again, " i love you, ben. you and me? this isn't exactly what i ever expected, but i don't want to go anywhere without you, " maggie admits softly, teeth pulling on her bottom lip as she pulled back enough to look over him properly. he was 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥, a mess of dark hair, those green eyes that she couldn't stop looking at, the scruff of facial hair that she just loved. she had always thought he was attractive, like she wasn't blind or stupid, but seeing him in person and getting to know him, he became so much more to her than just the hero of heroes that he had always been. maggie knew this was it, he was her forever person and she knew elena would've wanted this for her. one of her hand moves through his hair as she moves to kiss him again, this time soft and gentle in a way that made her heart almost skipped a beat, " look, i don't know what the fuck is gonna happen with ares. but when this shit is over, or whatever happens, as long as we're together - nothing can stop us, okay? "

𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧, leaning on her elbow as she looked at him, sighing softly, " speaking of ares and trying to stop him, i have a crazy suggestion that i know butcher is gonna hate and it might be impossible to even do but, " maggie knew that if anyone would listen to her and have her back on any suggestion, it absolutely would be ben. but she also knew that she would need to get the others to agree before even taking it to butcher, " i think we need to try and find homelander and starlight. they disappeared but they're not dead, at least i want to believe they're not, " she tells him, looking away for a moment because it really did sound insane even to her, despite it being her idea. starlight would be an easy sell, but homelander? he would be the 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 butcher would ever want to ask for help. but she knew if they wanted to stop ares, they needed him, even if it pained her to admit it. as much as he had put her through hell over the years, she knew that strength was very much needed right now, " homelander may be the only person, apart from you, who is strong enough to stop ares . . . we're going to need him, "

"I never quite met anyone like him, and he fascinates me..."
I'm so obsessed with them
