Your Story (A Benedict Cumberbatch Imagine Fan Fiction)

University

One Year Later
"Feel my palms" you say anxiously as you walk down the stairs. You clutch your hands onto Benedict's before he quickly squirms his hands out of your grip and laughs.
You were really nervous about starting university. It was one of those nervous feelings where you didn't know what to expect. Even though You'd already been to university for drama, this time was different. It was important. You needed a job and you knew that this degree would make or break that opportunity.
You'd had a farewell party a few days ago where your friends and Benedict's and Gaby's and Bonnie's family had come go wish you well and say goodbye to you. You'd still remained close with Bonnie's mum and dad, even though it had been two years since her passing.
Benedict had made a big effort to make sure that the party was special for you, you were so excited up until you realised how much you were going to miss him. It floored you.

"No thanks, sweaty Betty" he jokes, chuckling. You playfully roll your eyes and giggle to yourself.

"You have nothing to worry about Y/N, why're you so worried?" Benedict asks, chuckling. You shrug and fold your arms over your chest.

"It's a new thing isn't it, I'm just worried" you reply casually.

"It's university, it's a normal thing. If it was so scary then no one would go, would they?" Benedict replies, wrapping his arms around your waist. You drape your arms over his shoulders and sigh contently.

"I'm going to look so old. Everyone there are youths-"

"Your not 80" Benedict interrupts, laughing. You smile slightly.

"It's going to be fine Y/N. your going to have an amazing time, your going to make new friends and your going to be a qualified teacher. Everything is going to be absolutely fine" he says softly. You look at him, unconvinced.

"I promise" Benedict reiterates. You smile slightly and nod before softly pressing your lips onto his.

"Have you got everything?" Benedict asks you. You flicker your eyes to your two suitcases that had been sat by the door for two weeks. You nod slightly and pout, making him laugh.

"What?" Benedict asks, laughing slightly. You shake your head and smile.

"Nothing" you reply, laughing slightly. Benedict chuckles before letting go of you.

"Be right back" he mumbles before going upstairs. You watch him run up, smiling at how perfect he was before running your hand through your hair.
You hear three knocks appear on the front door, making your heart leap out of your chest. You turn round and open the door to unveil Gaby and Tom smiling warmly at you. You invite them in politely before wrapping your arms around Gaby's neck.

"You excited?" She asks you eagerly. You smile and nod.

"Of course I am" you reply happily. Gaby raises an eyebrow and folds her arms over her chest.

"What?" You ask, smiling. Gaby opens her mouth to speak but before she could you hear Benedict coming back down the stairs.

"Hiya Gaby, hi tom" Benedict says casually as he shakes Toms hand and kisses Gaby's cheek.

"Hey, I'm just here to pick madam up and take her away" Gaby jokes. Benedict chuckles slightly.

"Well surely you don't need to go yet? I'm not going to see Y/N for three months, I'd like to make the most out of the time we have before she goes" Benedict says, draping his arm over your shoulder before pressing his lips to the side of your head.
