Your Story (A Benedict Cumberbatch Imagine Fan Fiction)

Letting Go

One Month Later
You sit in your car. Your head on the wheel, trying to move your body out of the car, but your brain telling your legs to stay put.
You sigh before getting out of the car and Walking up to the apartment building. You pull out your phone and see a text from Gaby.

I'll meet you at bens- tied up with work - G X

You sigh slightly and place your phone back into your pocket as you walk into Benedict's apartment building.

Benedict and Sophie had finally decided to move to America. Sophie was nearly four months pregnant so they decided that they needed to go as soon as possible before Sophie became too pregnant to travel.
You and Benedict had finally gotten round to going to Wanda's and Tim's to tell them that Benedict was expecting a child and once Wanda had stopped shouting at Benedict, she exploded into tears of happiness for her first grandchild. Having said this, when Benedict and Timothy had gone into the kitchen to get drinks you and Wanda had a little heart to heart about yours and Benedict's situation. Wanda told you that you needed to get him back as she knew that Benedict wasn't happy but you knew that you needed to let him go and be happy.

You knocked on Benedict's door three times before seeing the shadow of two feet walking towards the door, making your stomach turn.

"Hi." He says casually.
he looks  rough, Like he hasn't slept in days. He was wearing a black jumper over some black skinny jeans, his hair was in his long dark Sherlock curls and his eys were on the floor.

"Hi...i brought a box to put my stuff in.. I didn't know if I'd only left a bit or if I'd basically left my entire bedroom"
you see Benedict purse his lips, your guessing it's him trying not to laugh. He gestures for you to come into the appartmemt, as you do you see a pile of boxes.

"Have the moving fans not arrived yet ?" You ask , putting your empty box down.

"No, they're meant to come over at four." You fiddle with your necklace and check the time on your phone.

"Where sophie?" You ask.
He looks at you

"She's headed down to see her parents before we leave." He says before quickly looking down.

"And your not going with her?" You ask awkwardly. Benedict shakes his head.
You cock your head to the side with conversation.

"She's coming back later and I wanted to say goodbye to you and gab before we left" he adds.
You nod and smile
There was a long pause , both of you looking at the floor

"I put all your things in a pile here."
He says as he walks to the sofa and hands you a pile of clothes.

"Did you wash them?" You asked, surprised, as you smell the pile of clothes they were now in your hands

"Yeah." He says quietly.

"Thank you," you reply, putting the clothes in the box.
Benedict smiles slightly.

"Do you really have to go?" you almost whisper. Benedict smiles sadly and walks slowly over to you

"we've talked about this" he replies sadly. He tucks a piece of hair behind your ear

"I know"
You look down as Benedict rubs your cheek lightly.

"I'm just going to miss not having you round the corner" you add, sighing.
Benedict nods.

"I'll miss you too" Benedict says softly.
You flicker your eyes to him

"Are you sure that this is what you want Ben?" You ask sincerely, placing your hand on his cheek. Benedict flickers his eyes to your hand and then into your eyes.
