Your Story (A Benedict Cumberbatch Imagine Fan Fiction)

Habits

2 years ago
"Good morning" Benedict greets you with a warm smile, with a coffee cup in one hand and a newspaper in another.
You walk slowly over to him, smiling slightly.
You smirk at him as you walk properly into the kitchen

"Morning... Someone's happy." You say slowly, sitting down on the island, opposite him.

"Why wouldn't I be?" He says happily, walking over to the fridge.

"You still pissed from last night?" You ask, slightly joking.
He laughs before pulling out some cold pizza on a plate.

"Want one?"
He asks as he takes a slice from the pile and crams it into his mouth.
You stare at him with disgust. Benedict laughs slightly, pizza hanging out of his mouth.
You smile before fiddling with your fingers.

"Hey, you okay babe?" He asks seriously.
You nod and smile 
...
"isn't it a but trampy?"
You ask, gesturing to the pizza in his hand. Benedict shrugs as he chews
You shrug before walking over to him and taking a slice of pepperoni and cramming it into your mouth.

"See what you've made me become?" You say quite unsuccessfully, seeing as your mouth was full of pizza.
Benedict laughs

"So proud."
He says, placing his hand on his heart, making you smile faintly.

"Thank you for letting me stay here last night, I really don't think I could've faced Bonnie" you sigh, rubbing your eyes.

"What actually happened between you two? You never told me" Benedict asks, sitting down opposite you.

"we just had a little piff, it's no big deal" you say casually.
You look over to Benedict and see him smirking with his eyebrow raised.
...
"What?" You ask, sighing.

"You know what" he says, his smirk growing.
...
You sigh deeply.

"I don't want to talk about it Ben"
You run your hand through your hair.

"Well you haven't been yourself all week, so I want to know what's rattling around that beautiful head of yours" Benedict says casually. He walks over to you and takes he stool next to you.

"what are you talking about, I've been fine all week" you reply.
Benedict takes the hand that you were messing with in his before entwining his fingers with yours softly.

"Can I tell you something Y/N?" He asks softly.
You nod slightly before looking at him.

"When you've known someone for the amount of years that we've known each other, I think you start to pick up on habits" He looks at your hand.

"Habits?"

"You bite your nails when your stressed or worried" you look down at the hand that he was holding. Benedict raises your hand and shows you your fingers. He was right, they were all short and jagged.

"gosh, I didn't even realise that I did that" you almost whisper.
Benedict lets go off your hand. You turn to rest your arms on the table.

"So What's going on?"
You sigh.

"Me and Bonnie have had a disagreement over a Facebook request that I got on Sunday". You say with a slight tone.
You turn to Benedict and see him looking at you, waiting for you to continue.
