The boy from the screen (BEN Drowned x Reader)

Chapter One: Game Start

"Summers just begun and you choose to sit and play video games?"
My mom complained as I sat in front of the TV playing what was probably the 11th play though Night in the Woods on my Xbox.
Letting out a sigh, and pausing the game, I look over at her.
"Mom, all my friends either went out of state to visit family for the summer or they went to visit another country all together." There wasn't much to do. Ally friends had made plans this summer except for me. I never liked traveling much, and I always preferred to stay in the comfort of my own room. After some arguing, my mom finally motivated to go outside.

"It's soooo hooooot..." whining to myself, I lumbered around the neighborhood for a bit before stumbling up on a yard sale. It looked like they were moving and getting rid of any junk they didn't want to drag along.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to see what they got."

Walking up to the guy sitting in a lawn chair, I look at the table of old games. There were gameboy games, some old game boys as well, and a bunch of old N64 games with a dusty N64 console next to them. Looking back at the guy, I noticed he was a college student. However, he looked as if he hadn't slept properly in weeks.
"So um...how much for the games?" I was about to ask about prices, maybe even suggesting a reasonable bargain, when he spoke up.

"You can have them for free if you're interested. I can't handle.... "Him" anymore."

Ok that's weird. I was a bit confused by what he said, so I pressed on.
"Him who?" I asked. If something here was haunted, or possessed by some demon- well to be honest I'd be all for that shit.
He seemed to hesitate on answering so I just nodded and accepted the offer of getting the games and other for free.

"Alright, let's see if this actually works." plugging the console into the TV, I start up one of the games. GoldenEye worked just fine, and so did Pokemon Stadium. I played those toe games for a bit before digging back into the box of games and taking out a blank gray game cartridge with MAJORA written on it in black marker.

"Okay then- a bit edgy but sure why not." I put the game in and started it up. Like the others, it worked just fine. I played for about an hour before getting frustrated trying to get to the wood fall temple. Giving up, I shut off the game and grab my DS to play Animal Crossing. Within the fifteen minutes of laying on my bed, a message pops up on my phone. Curious, and thinking it was just one of my friends showing off being in South Korea for the summer, I check it to see the cleverbot app open.

Cleverbot: Wow, you really suck at my game.

I sat there, dumbfounded. Who the f*ck- Picking up my phone, I respond.

User: what are you talking about?

Cleverbot: Don't play dumb. You know what I'm talking about.

I'll admit, I was a bit freaked out. Was my phone hacked? Was there some creep stalking me though my phone?!

Cleberbot: Won't answer? Guess I'll have to come to you then.

The TV suddenly turned on, as a hand appeared from the inside. Of course I'm not gonna lie, I was terrified. WTF IS THIS EXORCIST BULLSHIT?!
What looked like lake water began pouring from the TV into the carpet as the hand began coming though the screen.

I let out a screech before grabbing my baseball bat and wacking the arm.
A pained yelp responded as a boy appeared fully from the screen.

"What the hell was that for?! Damn... I didn't think anyone would actually try to fight back."

Without hesitation I continued hitting him, while firing questions one after another.
"WHO ARE YOU?! WHY ARE YOU IN MY ROOM!? WHY DID YOU COME THOUGH MY TV?!"

He grabbed my bat after I hit him and glared at me with piercing red eyes.
"I swear to Slender if you hit me one more time I'm gonna kill you right here and now."

"Well you're the one who entered my house uninvited." I retorted.

He looked at me as if I was on drugs or something.
"You gotta be kidding me- have you EVER seen a horror movie?! The killer always shows up uninvited."

Ok, he had a point there. Taking back my bat, I sit back on my bed.
"Alright then, so you're a killer?"

"Yes, I am."

"Then kill me."

"I-...what is wrong with you? Why aren't you begging for your life like a normal person?"
He just stared at me, clearly very confused. I calmly sat there, watching him and keeping my grip on my bat just in case he tried anything.

"Okay, before I before let's just get rid of this-"
He appeared behind me out of nowhere and took my bat, making it vanish in a flash of pixels and computer codes.

"HEY! That was mine!"

"Well, if I didn't take it you'd hit me again."

I signed, then remembered. Oh yeah! My machete! Quickly reaching under my pillows, taking the blade and removing it from its sheath.
The strange green clothed boy, immediately backed off, even more surprised by my actions. I smiled.

"What? Never seen someone use a machete before?"

He huffed. "Of course I have-... In the Friday the 13th movie. What are you, a Jason Voorhees fangirl?"

"No. I only have this because it was a gift from my father." I rolled my eyes, putting the machete back in its sheath. I should probably keep this with me just in case.
Strapping it to my belt, I look back at the boy.
"Hey, what's your name by the way?"

"Huh?" He tilt his head. "I... Uh.. I'm BEN. BEN Drowned."

I sat there thinking. Wasn't his name in the game files? Quickly I take a look back at the game. Yep, it was there.
Looking back at BEN, who now had a smirk on his face because I knew who he was, I shook my head. I must be dreaming. There's no way this is real....I'd have to be in a fan fiction or something.

"Well then. If you're not gonna kill me then why are you here?" I asked.
BEN paused for a moment, as if he hadn't planned to get this far. He then smiled and got in close to my face.

"Well, you're the new owner of the game, therefore you'll have to deal with me." He grinned darkly.

"And this is just only the beginning of the game."
