Thank Merlin, Ari was here. Though – oh dear, he did not look happy. Ben let out a shout of pain as he was levitated onto the stretcher and he did his best to shoot his lover a reproachful look. Before he could get another word in protest was when Ari's words hit him. Ben's eyes widened; it was a rare moment to see him like this. His stormy grey eyes flashed at Ben in a look that promised payback later that night when they were alone.
He blinked in surprise. While normally he'd be squirming, the unexpectedness of Ari's angry fussing left him speechless for once. And yet in retrospect, Ben would admit it rather turned him on in a way he couldn't quite explain...but for now, it just took him aback. So much so that the only thing that came to mind was to pass him an ear-splitting grin and toss a quip in for good measure. "I got here, didn't I?"
