He set the food on the table and approached the bathroom door.
Peering inside, he saw Tommy struggling to unbuckle his pants, grumbling under his breath. "Damn button, just as annoying as that Benjamin! Hmph!"
Benjamin's heart softened at the sight. He watched silently for a moment, his anger and frustration melting away into something softer.
Without thinking, he stepped forward. "Need someone to give you a hand with that?" he asked gently.
Tommy jumped, startled. "What in the world, Benjamin! Don't be sneakin' up on me like that!"
"I didn't mean to," Benjamin replied, raising his hands in a gesture of peace. "I just... I just thought I'd come over and give you a hand."
Awwnnn, Benjamin's being all nice now? Because of the bruises? Well, isn't that something!
Tommy glared at him but didn't refuse.
