Your Story (A Benedict Cumberbatch Imagine Fan Fiction)

Dinner with the cumberbatch's part1

The next day
"Right. It's just a phase Y/N, it's just a phase. It's because of Oliver. It's because Oliver is in love with you, that's why your getting feelings for Ben... Even though that doesn't make sense" you talk to yourself, brushing your hair and allowing it to form the natural curls.
....
You walk downstairs after hearing the door knock

"Hiya" Benedict says happily as you open the door.

"Hey" you reply.
He smiles warmly at you.

"Do I need to bring a coat?" You ask.

"Well that depends-are you planning on walking to mums and dads?" He laughs.
You smile faintly.

"I meant , are we going out anywhere or are we staying here before we go to your mums?"
He shrugs.

"Well, I kind of wanted to speak to you about something. Is there anyone in?"
He looks past me and into the hallway.

"No no, Bonnies at work"
Benedict nods and smiles.

"Let's stay in then?"
He walks past you and into the house, taking off his coat and shoes. You follow him through to the living room and sit next to him on the couch.
...
"drink?" You ask.

"Yeah please. Coffee?" He replies.

"Yeah sure. Be right back" you smile and leave the room and walk into the kitchen.

"Want some help?" He calls after you.

"How many times have I made you brews?" You call back. You hear him chuckling from the living room

"Not enough clearly." He says, laughing.
You chuckle to yourself and get two mugs from the cupboard.
--
"So , what did you want to talk to me about?"
You ask, sipping your drink.

"It's your birthday tomorrow" he says excitedly.

"Good spot" you reply. He giggles and flicks your arm.

"Ive arranged something- don't ask me what. But I've arranged it, including Oliver. I was just wondering if you'd be ok with him being involved?"

"Erm yeah I guess. Things are just awkward at the minute. But we're okay"
Benedict nods to himself and smiles.

"Just wanted to check"

"Can I know the surprise?"

"Bugger off. It wouldn't be called a surprise if I told, you would it?"

You smirk and feel as his arm is draped over your shoulder.
You suddenly feel your stomach flip and your heart race. However you know that you need to just act normal, so you rest your head on his shoulder.

"Are you alright?" He mumbles into your hair.

"Yeah why?"

"Well it's your birthday tomorrow and you just don't seem very happy"

"I've just been thinking a lot lately-"
He shifts slightly as you move your head from his shoulder.

"About what?"
He strokes your arm with his hand that was still draped over your shoulder.
You look at his hand and then to his face.

"My feelings have been all over the place recently. I'm just trying to figure them out"
He nods understandingly and places a soft kiss on your forehead.

"Is it something I can help you with?"

You look at him, feeling the butterflies budding in your stomach. You shake your head slightly.

"N-no. It's something I need to figure out on my own"
He nods and smiles.

"Fancy going to mums a little early? She would want a catch up" Benedict asks, putting his empty mug on the coffee table and checking his watch

"Yeah sure" you reply. He squeezes your knee before getting off the couch.
-----------
"Put these on" Benedict hands you a pair of sunglasses. You take them and put them on slowly.
You knew the deal. every time you and Benedict went out, you had to both wear sunglasses- just with the hope that he wouldn't be recognised.
It never worked.

"I'm sorry about this Y/N. It's every time we go out isn't it " he says with a sigh. You place your hand on his shoulder

"Ben. It's okay. It's kinda fun actually. I feel famous"

"Shall we?" He asks.
You smile at him and adjust your handbag before you get out of the car.
...
Walking down the road leading up to Ben's mums house you both make light conversation about your past.

"Mums so excited to see you. She doesn't feel like she's seen you in ages" Benedict says

"I haven't seen your mum in ages ! I've missed her. She's been like my adopted mum"
you look up and see Benedict smiling down at you. He drapes his arm over your shoulder again.

"I'm so glad your my friend Y/N. Don't know what I'd do with out you"

"Yeah- me neither"

"Ben-" you start.

"Y/N-" he replies, smiling.

"People always think we're a couple right? Do you ever think that maybe it's because they see something that..maybe you-we don't?"
He turns to you with a confused look on his face.

"Y/N-"

"I mean... I don't know-"

"Something i don't?" He asks.
You turn to him

"Y/N. Are you saying you-"

Before he could finish his sentence you hear a girl screaming from behind the two of you. Panic strikes into your heart.
Benedict grabs your hand and turns round.

"Shit" he whispers to himself.
Your eyes follow his and you are faced with about Ten teenage girls- grins plastered onto their faces.

"Do you mind?" He asks.
You smile awkwardly and shake your head.

"Take all the time you need"
--
You just smile awkwardly as Benedict speaks to the overexcited girls. They ask him for photos which he happily obliges , taking the iPhone from them and posing for a selfie, pointing at them all. Their grins widening dramatically.the flash of the camera attracted more girls. As soon as Benedict gave the girls their phone back, about 49 girls bolted over to you and Benedict.

Wonderful. Each of them pushing and shoving to try and get a glimpse of him.

"Where's my friend?" He asks, looking around the girls.
I politely wave at him from behind them all and smile faintly
He mouthes his apology as girls throw paper and pens into his hands.

As Benedict makes his way through all the girls, taking photos with them and being polite and friendly with each of them You check your watch and see that your meant to be at Wanda's in 20 minute so you decide to chip in and help him get through the fans.

"Hey why don't we form a queue and I'll take your picture with Benedict?"
Benedict looked at you, smiling

"great idea Y/N!" He beamed making all the girls 'awe'. You just  ignored them , and the girls formed a nice line as you took photos of the girls with Benedict.

"Erm excuse me, Y/N." You turn round to face the girl at the front of the queue

"would you mind if I had a picture with you as well?" You feel your cheeks redden, this is the weirdest thing that's ever happened to you.

"Yye-yes sure." Benedict notices this as when you were taking a selfie Benedict jumped up behind you so only his face was noticeable, this of course made all the girls laugh.
He started laughing as he landed, You turn round and playfully hit him making him laugh more.

"What?! It's what I do?" All the girls carried on laughing as you smiled at him.

"You love me really." He says sweetly as you laugh, all the girls making the 'awe' sound again
You suddenly feel your cheeks flush.

"Your alright" You reply as You take the phone from the next girl and watch her eagerly run over to Benedict.

His smile however. Remains on you.
