My Very Own Sherlock (A Benedict Cumberbatch/ Sherlock Fanfic)

Chapter 6

JUNE’S POV

I laughed as Benedict slipped and fell on top of me, again. “Sorry love.” He stammered. “It’s so dark I can’t see anything." He was right.

“Maybe we should put a light in here.” I suggested

Benedict clapped “Brilliant!” I heard him shuffle then the blanket was drawn and a stream of light came into the fort.

                 Benedict and I had made a fort of pillows and blankets. It was all his idea. He had shown up at my house and told me he had the whole day to hang out. I was shocked. I couldn’t believe he had actually come. He then brought up the idea of building a fort. I thought it was an amazing suggestion! We had ran through the house, laughing as we gathered random blankets and pillows. The fort was huge. It started in the living room then went all down the hall way.

                I followed Benedict out of the fort. When I stood up I saw him in the kitchen looking for something that could be used as a light source. I ran up to him and poked his shoulder as I passed. He turned to his right but I was already on his left.

“June!” he screeched in a fake little girls voice. “I cannot believe you would do something like that!’

I laughed. “I’m very sorry. What can I do to make it up to you?”

Benedict got a huge grin on his face. “Kiss my cheek.”

“What?!”

“I’m sorry June but it’s the only way I can continue building forts with you! You must kiss my cheek!”

                I could feel my face get hot as I walked towards the very tall and attractive man. I stood in front of him and stared for a moment. He looked amazing. I stood on my tip toes and kissed him on his sharp cheek bone.

“There. All better?”

“Of course, love! Now do you have a flashlight or a lamp? We must be getting back to the fort.”

                 I smiled and walked to the other side of the kitchen where my junk drawer was located. I opened it and grabbed a blue flashlight. “We have a problem I’m afraid.”

Benedict ran over to my side as soon as I spoke. “What’s the problem?” His eyes were full of concern.

“I’m afraid I only have one flashlight.”

Benedict gasped. “One flashlight?! The horror! The forts are very dangerous! We must be able to see what is happening at all times! I could never live with myself if I knew you got hurt!” I couldn’t help giggle as he spoke so dramatically, he was an actor after all. “We only have one option I suppose!”

I shot him a puzzled look. “Oh? And what’s that?”

“I must hold your and hand at all times to assure that you are safe. We wouldn’t want those fort monsters to get you, now would we?”

I laughed. I’m sure my cheeks were as red as tomatoes. “That is very brave of you Mr. Cumberbatch.”

                He smiled and grabbed my hand. As our fingers laced together I felt a million butterflies set free through my stomach. His hands were soft and warm and I loved the feeling of them in mine. He pulled me towards the entrance of our fort. As we got on our knees to fit in, his grip tightened on my hand. I blushed even more.

                We navigated our way through the tunnels we had built, his hand never leaving mine. We crawled and laughed, but eventually came to the end of the tunnel. Benedict sat, still holding my hand, and let out a breath of air. He started breathing heavily, very dramatically.

“I’m sorry my lady, for I have failed you! I have brought you to a dead end where the beast will surely find us!”

I giggled. “It is ok, brave knight. You were a fine protector!” As I finished speaking the flashlight blacked out. It was out of batteries. I shrieked.

“Shh. It is ok love. I will be here to protect you until my last breathe.” After he said this he came closer to me, so that our arms were touching. I laid my head onto his shoulder, where it fit perfectly.

“Thank you, fine sir.”

“Anything for you June.” Then he kissed my forehead.

So this was a super short chapter, I’m sorry! I try to post a chapter a day, which leads to shorter chapters. I probably won’t post a chapter until Saturday, just so that it will be longer J
