"Thank you for doing that back there" Benedict says kindly. You look up and smile at him.

"No worries"

"I know it can be a nightmare."

"It's alright. Don't worry" you reply. He sighs and messes with his watch as you walk down the road up to his parents' house
...
"Shit" he mumbles.

"What?" You ask, looking at him with concern.

"Put your sunglasses on Y/N" he says sadly. You quickly pull your sunglasses from your pocket and put them on.

"Where?" You ask. He subtly gestures his head to your right where there was a man with a camera. You sigh even heavier as Benedict puts his head down slightly.

"How did you even spot him?" You ask.

"You get used to the clicking sounds. I'm surprised your not used to them by now?"

"I try to block them out to be honest." You clear your throat and take your lipgloss from your bag.

"What are you doing?" Benedict asks, watching you take the lid off

"Well these photos are probably going to end up on Twitter so I want to look decent "
He giggles

"Mind if I have some then?" He asks with a large smirk on his face

"Shut up"
you nudge him with your hip.

"Don't see why you put all that crap on your face"

"Huh?" You ask, rubbing the lipgloss on your lips.

"All that make-up. I don't see why you put it on. It's not like you need it"

"well unless you want me to look like I've been dragged out of my grave- I think I'll stick to it".

"Your beautiful, don't put yourself down. There's so many people out in the world who will put you down- you don't need to do it to yourself."

"I'm guessing your speaking from experience?"

"Well when you do the job that I do, you get used to arse holes criticising you over everything."

"Doesn't it upset you?"

"It used to. But I stopped caring about what people thought."

"You had about 20 girls back there crying because they got to stand near you, I don't think you need to worry about people not liking you Ben"
He smiles slightly before you come to the door of the house.
He places three loud knocks on the door.

"What use is love when it's not from the person you need it the most from?" He says sadly.
He looks at you briefly before looking away.
He smiles sadly at you,

"Y/N, I l-"
Suddenly the door swings open

"Helloooooo" Wanda says cheerily. You smile awkwardly at her before Benedict brings her in for a large hug

"Hiya mum, you okay?" He says as they hug, she nods into him.
Ounce they had separated Benedict looked at you with a desperate look of 'please don't bring up what we were just talking about'. You inhale deeply before bringing Wanda into a hug yourself.
