? Broken Strings {A Chaos Theory x Male Reader Story - Ben}

Ben, Sammy and Y/N are on the road heading to see Yasmina. Sammy drove for about an hour but ended up switching with Y/N when she decided to try calling Yasmina again... and again.

'You've reached Yasmina! I guess this is where I tell you to leave a message...' The tone beeps and Sammy has to hold back a sigh.

"Hey, Yaz, uh, it's Sammy. Again. Just wanted to make sure you're home, we're heading over. Give me a call back when you're free." Sammy hangs up and drops her phone in his lap.

"Lemme see." Y/N leans over and takes Sammy's phone from her hand.

"So, you guys are just gonna use the phone no matter what I say, huh?" Ben huffs from the driver's seat.

"Thought we'd established that." Sammy huffs.

Ben reaches over to try and snatch the phone from Y/N.

"Don't you dare throw my phone out the window, Benjamin." Sammy smacks his hand away.

Ben's face shifts in shock.

"Even if I point out that anyone could be listening?" He asks, focusing back on the road.

"I'll take my chances." Sammy shrugs.

They finally pull into the rest stop that Y/N had pointed out on the map a bit ago and Ben parks the van, rather nervously.

"I'm hungry too, but you really wanna stop here to eat?" Ben asks, looking out the window warily.

"This is the only place to stop for miles." Y/N rolls his eyes and shoves the map into Ben's hands, "And I'm done eating your carob... whatevers."

"Seconded." Sammy glares at Ben as he holds up a carob bar.

"Sorry," Ben smiles nervously, "All outta twiblers."

"Yeah," Sammy nods, "I heard about the twibblers."

Y/N gets out of the van and stretches, looking at the sign in the entrance.

"King Dino's Prehistoric Playland," Sammy reads the sign, "Now with real stig-gies?"

"Stygis." Y/N corrects casually.

"Think that's true?" Sammy raises an eyebrow.

"Anything's possible nowadays." Ben shrugs as he gets out of the van.

"Then again, they could be Komodo dragons in bald caps."

The three of them step inside of the small amusement park but promptly stop when something catches Sammy's eye.

It's a gyrosphere, broken down and taped off as an exhibit.

"Woah, that brings me back." Y/N chuckles.

"I wonder if it pulls right." Sammy smirks.

"I'm getting motion sick just looking at it." Ben sighs.

The three of them move on, but soon stop walking once again when they come face to face with a stage. A couple other tourists stand nearby, all adults.

Ben, Y/N and Sammy all glance at each other curiously as a man with an awful haircut steps onto the platform.

"Welcome one, welcome all to King Dino's Prehistoric Playland!" The man announces, "Grab your loved ones and take your heart meds, cuz we're about to take a wild ride straight into the age of prehistory!"

The three other guests applaud.

"Fear not," The host goes on, "Cuz I, Bobby Nublar, the King Dino himself, will be your guide!"
