Your Story (A Benedict Cumberbatch Imagine Fan Fiction)

Feelings

"After all this time Y/N, I thought you were asexual" Gaby says, adjusting herself as she sits on the kitchen counter.
You glare at her and look back down at the mug in your hands.

"Don't be a bitch Gab" Bonnie hisses.
Bonnie walks over to you and places her hand on your back and rubs it slightly.

"Sorry" Gaby says quietly.

"It's ok" you reply, taking a sip of your coffee.
...
"I might just be confused Yano? Because He's my best friend, it would be really really stupid to let myself.. Yano"
Bonnie looks and Gaby and then at you.

"Y/N just accept it. Your in love with him. We' all accepted it a long time ago haven't we?" Gaby says to Bonnie. Bonnie nods and looks at you before quickly looking down awkwardly.

"I don't even know if it is love? It could just be lust... I mean, he's... You know, sexy-oh my god, what am I saying! This is Ben" you sink your head into your hands.

"He is sexy. I walked in on hike when he was in the shower once and-" Gaby stops and fiddles with her fingers as you Bonnie glare at her.

"This isn't helping is it?" She asks.
You and Bonnie shake your heads slowly.
...
"What are you gonna do?" Bonnie asks.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, are you going to tell him or-"

"Of course not! It's just a little crush. It's harmless."

"You said that you thought about growing old with him Y/N... That's more than a crush and you know it"

"It was for what, like one second...I just, I don't want to tell him. It'll ruin everything." You sigh. Bonnie squeezes your shoulders.

"Y/N, what's the worst thing that can happen?"

"Yeah" Gaby backs up.
You look at them both and rub your eyes.

"It's a phase I promise. Please, I don't want to make things awkward." You beg. Bonnie sighs and nods.

"I won't say anything. I just think you should tell him but-"

"Bon, please. If I tell him and he doesn't like me back then where are we? And what if he does like me back? I can't deal with what he deals with. Fame just isn't my thing."
You get up and take your mug to the sink.

"I'm going to go and have a bath" you say, walking from the kitchen.
Gaby and Bonnie both smile warmly at you as you leave.

...
Gaby turns to Bonnie.
"Do you think it's a crush?"

"I think she needs time to weigh up what she's feeling."

"What about Oliver?"

"Y/N loves Oliver. She loves both of them. She just won't admit it to herself"

"Why?" Gaby asks, popping a mint into her mouth.

"Would you want to admit that your in love with your two best friends?"
Gaby shakes her head and sighs.

You out the radio on and lie in the bath. The bubbles surround you and envelop you.
You keep your eyes closed lightly as you rub your head.

"Fuck" You mutter to yourself.

Vbbbbrrrrrr

Your phone vibrates. You take your phone from the floor and unlock it.

Hey Y/N, was at mums and dads today and they asked if you wanted to come over tomorrow? I know it's a day before your bday but the offer is there if you have no plans- Benedict X

You smile slightly and sigh.

Sounds like a plan. I don't have anything on. What time were you thinking? - Y/N X

Well mum will make dinner for 6 probably, so I can pick you up at 3? - Ben X

3? That's a little early isn't it? - Y/N x

Yeah I guess so. I kinda wanted to talk to you...? - B X

Oh, yeah sure then. I'll see you at three?- Y/N

Sounds like a plan- B X

You put your Phone away and dunk your head under the water of the bath.
