Your Story (A Benedict Cumberbatch Imagine Fan Fiction)

Back home part2

"So what do you know?" You ask casually, putting a tea bag into the pot.

"What do you mean?" He replies, taking two mugs from the cupboard.

"It's not a hard question Oli. What's new? What's the gossip? You've been gone for months , I need details" he places the mugs next to the pot and leans on the counter with his arms folded.

"Not much really. My boss is still a dick. Harry is still being annoying as ever with his stupid girlfriend taking over the bloody apartment. But other than that. I'm good"

"What, Harry hasn't moved out yet?"

"Well he's waiting to hear back from his job offer. I bloody hope he does though. He's getting right on my nerves." You chuckle slightly.

"But hey, speaking of jobs and such. I hear someone has had an amazing opportunity handed to them miss Kytes" He smiles, dancing over to you, slowly bringing you into a hug.

"So when do you start?" He asks, smiling down at you.

"Well... When the new term starts I guess... I'll need to sort things out first like passport-"

"What?"

"What?" You ask. He looks blankly at you.

"Well your taking the job here aren't you?"

"What? Oh, well no I was going to-"

"Just move to america- see what happens?" He asks. You notice his change of tone

"Well yeah, it's what I want to do Oli. I don't want to work in an office for the rest of my life."

"It's not just an office job Y/N. It's a stepping stone into a stable career"

"So your saying my acting career isn't going to happen?"

"You know that's not what I'm saying" he sighs.

"It's just,  I don't want you to invest all of your time and money on something that might not even work or play out the way you want it to"

"Well atleast I know I have something to aim for. I don't want to have nothing to work toward."

"Y/N. you need something to fall back on. If you take this job, you can afford to do acting on the side. You can work around it. You just need something to fall back on. Something stable"

"It's what I want to do oli. What I've always wanted to do. How can you be so unsupportive of me?"
He sighs deeply and plays with his thumb like he always does when he's stressed and thinking.

"I just don't want to see you get your hopes up, and then have things fall apart.. I just want what's best for you" he almost whispers.

"Going to this drama school is what's best for me Oli."

"Did Ben have anything to do with this decision  by any chance?" He knits his eyebrows together.

"What , no why?" You lie.

"Well, rational Y/N wouldn't do something as reckless as going to America. It sound like something he'd Imput in."

"Well no he hasn't. He doesn't even know. So leave him out of it ok"

"What about Gaby and Bonnie? Do they know?"

"Of course they do. They want what's best for me, just like you should" he sighs and nods.

"Okay. I'm sorry. Your right. If it's what you really really want to do, then I can't stop you." He Walks over to you and wraps his arms around you.

"Your always welcome to stay with me and Harry. Even though his girlfriend is more annoying than you" you laugh as he squeezes you.

"thank you"
