Your Story (A Benedict Cumberbatch Imagine Fan Fiction)

The Picnic

You brush a few strands of mascara onto your eyelashes and pull your black jumper over your head before putting your hair up into a loose bun and putting some pink lipgloss on.

"I love you. And I've been in love with you since we were 10 years old"
You stand there just in front of the mirror , looking at your mirroring reflection but thinking about Oliver's face the night he told you that he was in love with you.
It was over a year ago since he had said it to you and you've been fine ever since but every time you looked at him, these words would rattle around your brain.

You pull your phone from your bag.

Hey, fancy going for a walk? - Oli X

You sigh and nervously bite your lip.

Yeah sure. Anywhere in particular?- Y/N x

Yeah - was thinking the field near the park. I'll bring a packed lunch?- Oli X

Yeah sure. Sounds nice actually. Could do with some fresh air. - Y/N X

I'll pick you up in 10 mins - Oli X

You lock your phone and throw it onto the bed before collapsing onto the bed yourself.
Oliver came down to London for a while like he does every year for your birthday, only this year he was staying with Gaby and her boyfriend. No surprise there.
You let out a large sigh and get off the bed to put your shoes on.
-
"Hey" he says sweetly, as you open the door.

"Hey" You reply, shutting the door behind you and locking it.

"You look lovely" he says quietly.

"Thank you" you reply shyly, putting your keys into your bag.
...
"I'm glad we're doing this" he says as you both walk down the driveway.

"Me too"

"It feels things have been really... Awkward lately"

"Yeah they have. It's not like us either."

"I know. we once had a farting competition in gaby's mums house on your 17t" he says, laughing.
You smile slightly.

"I don't think awkward has ever been in our vocabulary has it really?" you reply.
He nods and smiles.

"Oh my gosh I remember this tree!" You gasp, running to the large tree on the top of the hill on the field.

"Thought you might" he calls after you.

"We used to stay right up there for hours and hours."
You look up and point at the large thick branch at the top of the tall tree and smile at Oliver.
-
"So what feast did you bring me?" You ask, taking your coat off and sitting on it on the grass under the tree.

"I brought the one and only tuna and mayo sandwich-" he pulls out a small bag dramatically.

"-with.. Salt and vinegar crisps!" He pulls them out the bag and throws them lightly onto your lap.

"You know me so well" you say happily, opening the bag and pulling out your sandwich.
...
"So how come you wanted to take me on this marvellous walk and take me to this marvellous tree and give me a marvellous sandwich. Which is all marvellous by the way"
He smiles and looks down before placing his sandwich by his side and looking at you.
