^{[sup][font=times new roman]personality. }
nerd
benjamin is what others would classify a nerd. not a 'tumblr' nerd, but a real one. he loves comic books, is incredibly intelligent, and enjoys spending his time studying the scientific ratios in meteors. he aces almost all of his classes, but is also pretty good as a few sports. he's always been good at tennis, as he's played it since he was young, and enjoys swimming. but benjamin genuinely enjoys studying and reading books, especially with his boyfriend, as is a complete marvel fan. he watches several anime tv shows, and has a deep love for game of thrones.
sarcastic
benji is a master at sarcasm. he always knows what to say, and when to say it, and who to say it to.she'll come up with a comeback or answer for anything, which isn't always good a good thing, and has gotten him into a bit of trouble a lot of times. people think he's very argumentative. but he just says he enjoys an escalated conversation. benjamin doesn't like to be accused of something he didn't do, so he has a habit of proving herself right all the time. it's not always a good habit.
smart
ben has always been very bright and intellectual since he was young, acing all of his classes and being a prodigy in mathematics, seemingly without even trying. he doesn't study all too often. but does do it before tests, and doesn't pay all that much attention in classes. but for some reason, he still gets everything the teacher says, and never gets the answer wrong. teachers are still confused as how he does this, but he just says he doesn't mean to, he just does.
determined
when benjamin says he'll do something, you know he's going to do it, even if he physically can't. he always tries to do things to prove himself, he doesn't like to be thought negatively of. when someone says, 'oh ben, you won't be able to do that!' he gives them one of his looks that says 'challenge accepted'. he will never back down from a dare, task, or challenge, no matter the consequences. i mean, he won't dive head-first off a cliff into a pile of rocks just to prove himself, but he'll do other, safer stuff. stuff that won't get him killed.
bookworm
reading is benjamin's life. his bedroom is one big pile of books, books on the bed, books in the cupboards, books everywhere. he never leaves the house without a book of some sort, and is never not reading a book. as soon as he finishes one, he finds another one. books are his secret paradise, they take him to distant lands where he can just be herself. he enjoys mystery, fantasy, and horror books more than comedy or romantic books. ben has never been a very sappy-love story boy.}

^{relationship status. }
taken. by ethan xavier young.
as soon as they started dating, ethan is all that has been on ben's mind. they're always together, never run out of things to talk and argue about, and they are always there for eachother. ben prefers ethan's company over anyone else's, but is still very unsure of how people react with them both being guys. ben always considered himself straight, but as soon as he met ethan, he began to question himself. he still doesn't think of himself as a full-fledged gay, he just has a boyfriend that he loves and never wants to leave him. ben has never been one for public-displays-of-affection, but ethan has still never stopped kissing him on the streets or holding his hand, much to his own protests. ben truly loves ethan, and would do anything for him.}
