After you'd gotten home that night from seeing Oliver, you log onto your computer and see that the first thing in your recommended searches is the oscar nominees. You click on the webpage before feeling your phone vibrate on the couch next to you. You take your eyes away from the screen and without looking at the caller ID, you place the phone to your ear.

"Hello?" You ask.

"Holy shit! Y/N, I've been nominated for an Oscar!" An over excited Benedict screams down the phone. You feel your stomach flip-you draw your attention back to the screen and see that Benedict had been nominated for the imitation game.

"Oh my god! Ben!" You scream back. Benedict laughs down the phone.

"Do you know what this means?!" You shout happily.

"It means that I finally get to come and see you when I come to London!" Benedict replies happily. You shake your head.

"God Ben, don't worry about me, your nominated for an Oscar!"

"Well yeah I know, but I'll get to see you and we can get hysterical over it together, not over the phone."
You shrug slightly before knitting your eyebrows together.

"Hang on a minute" you pull the phone away from your ear.

"Ben, you've rang me! Your in America, this is going to cost a fortune!" You shout, laughing slightly.

"Oh shit yeah! I forgot about that, I guess I just got excited, sorry" he replies, laughing too.
You smile to yourself before tucking a piece of hair behind your ear.

"I'm really really proud of you Ben" you say tenderly.

"Thank you" he replies.

"I wish I could give you a hug"

"Give it time sweetheart, I'll be lay on your couch watching Downton Abby before you know it".
You laugh slightly.

"Right I'd better go and tell my mum and dad about the news, I'll facetime you later and have a catchup"
You smile

"You haven't even told your mum or dad yet?" You ask. There was a pause.

"No, I wanted to tell you first- plus I knew you'd go mad if you found out before I told you"
You laugh.

"That's true- I'll speak to you later" you reply. You hang up the phone and place it next to you on the sofa before smiling at the laptop screen and feeling the biggest sense of pride overcome you.

The next Morning.
You lie awake and stare at the ceiling before hearing footsteps hovering around your door. You slowly sit up in bed before hearing two knocks on your bedroom door.

"Come in" you call.
You turn your body so that it was facing the door before seeing Bonnie walk into your room. You smile warmly at her as she sits on the end of your bed.

"Hey, I was just wondering how Wicked went last night".

"It went really well yeah, it was amazing- the acting was incredible" you reply happily. Bonnie smiles.

"I noticed that you've filled your notebook" Bonnie says, laughing slightly. You nod

"I know, I just had so much to write about, what can I say" you joke. Bonnie laughs.
There was a pause before Bonnie suddenly widens her eyes.

"Oh yeah, did you hear about Benedict!" She shouts, jumping up from the bed and placing her hand over her mouth with excitement.
You smile and nod happily.
