Benedict Cumberbatch {Imagines}

Imagine #28 - Permission

Benedict had put the kettle on as (Y/n)'s parents pulled into the driveway of their home. (Y/n) was working today, and Benedict needed to speak her parents without her there. He was going to ask them for permission to ask (Y/n) to be his wife. Benedict and (Y/n) had been dating for 4 years now but had known each other for longer than that, starting out as friends but Benedict was madly in love with (Y/n) and knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. However, he knew that he had to ask (Y/n)'s parents first because he wanted to make sure that they approved of it before he asked. 

When they knocked on the front door, Benedict opened it and greeted them before (Y/n) parents headed into the living room and Benedict made them both a drink. He handed it to them and sat down. "So how are things with work, Benedict?" Her mother asked, sipping at her drink. "Is (Y/n) okay?" 

"Things are good. I finished filming the other day. (Y/n)'s great. She's still filming hers."  Benedict took a deep breathe. "Actually, I wanted to talk to you about (Y/n)." He said as they both looked up at him. "It's nothing bad; I just needed to ask you about something." (Y/n)'s parents were sat opposite Benedict and both had smiles stretched across their faces. "I was wondering how you would feel about me, asking (Y/n) to marry me." 

The smiles only seemed to get wider which Benedict had thought was impossible but apparently it was not. "We would love it!" They both said in unison before they bombarded Benedict with questions about the ring, where, and when he was going to propose. After an hour of answering their questions, and (Y/n)'s mother crying with excitement, (Y/n) came home. 

"Hey!" (Y/n) said, surprised to her parents with you. "What are you guys doing here?" She asked as she greeted them. 

"Just thought that we'd come by and see how you both were."  You mother said as (Y/n) kissed Benedict. 

When it was time for (Y/n)'s parents to leave, Benedict and (Y/n) walked with them to the driveway. Her father shook Benedict's hand and hugged him. "Have fun." He winked as (Y/n)s mother said; "Ring if you need us." Her smile once more beaming. As they pulled out of the driveway and waved at you both, (Y/n) turned to you. "What was all that about?" She asked. 

"I have no idea." Benedict smirked, wrapping his hands around her waist, and kissing her. If everything went right, they'd have a wedding to plan soon.
