Just as you thought your crush didn't like you, he popped up in your room. After some advice from his mate, he went for it. Because there was something between you, but it is unspoken. For a long time.

You look at your secret crush, who is talking to Tom Hiddleston. You smile when you see him but then you realize he probably isn't in to you. You look down and think. Then you walk out of the room, causing everyone to stare but you don't care. You thought Benedict didn't look but he did. He sees your sad expression and is worried.

Tom saw how he looked at you. "Why don't you just ask her out? You have a crush on her since...?" Tom asks. Ben sighs, "Since I saw her and it isn't that simple..." he couldn't continue because Tom cut him off. "Of course it is, you ask 'Will you go out with me?'. That's it," he says. "Can you just please go to her? At least?" Tom asks with puppy eyes. Ben grins, "Okay.". "Good, because I would have gone instead."

You lock yourself up in your room. You grab your violin and begin to play. The music has much impact on your feelings. While playing tears are falling down your cheek, you just remember that Ben doesn't like you.

You look sad when you think he can't see you.

The music makes it more dramatically. You don't think when you play the violin. Suddenly you hear someone banging on the door.

"Who's there?" you stutter.
"It's me, Benedict," Benedict says softly.
"Will you let me in?" he asks.
"Why?" you ask.

"Because I'm worried," he says. You sit against the door, he sits against the door too but you don't know that.

"Why would you be worried about me?" you ask. Your head between your hands. You were still crying, don't know why he would do this.

"Make the doorway free, darling. I'm coming in," he says. You do as he says and stand up. You unlock the door and let him in. Your eyes are red and puffy from crying. He sees your state and hugs you immediately. Surprised as you were, you hugged back. It felt warm and safe. You snuggle your head in his chest as he pulls you closer to him.

"Why would you be worried about me?" you ask again, your head still buried in his chest. He pulls away to look in your E/C eyes.

"I have a very good reason for that," he whispers. Your heads are a few inches away, your heart speeds up and your pupils are dilating by seeing him. You just have to look into those beautiful orbs that called his eyes.

"What reason?" you stutter uncontrolled. Benedict holds you close. He cups your cheek and looks into your eyes. He leans over until his lips brush yours in a sweet kiss. You respond after a few seconds of shock.

You separate gasping for air. "Because I care deeply about you," Ben says. "I... I don't...-" Ben cuts you off by kissing you again. You react immediately and your lips move in sync. You wrap your arms around his neck and his hands find the way to your hips.

"Will you go out with me?" he asks. This was overwhelming you, but "Yes!" you say happily pecking his cheek.

"I'll pick you up at 8," he says with a low voice. "That sounds great," you say. He holds out his hand, waiting for you to take. You smile and take his hand. He kisses your knuckles, causing you to chuckle. Then you walk back in the living room, seeing a grinning Tom.

"I told ya, it isn't hard," he laughs. Ben punches Tom friendly on the shoulder. "Yeah, you're right, again." you chuckle at the bromance between them. You sit next to Ben he intertwines his hand with yours. You look at him and smile.

You and Wanda are standing in your bedroom. It was 7.15 P.M. and you don't know what to wear. ''I know something!'' Wanda yells and walks toward your closet. She picks out a beautiful dress, you didn't even know you had that one. ''Wow.''

You change and show it to Wanda, whose mouth is open. ''Oh my god!'' she says happily. ''You look so beautiful!'' causing you to blush. ''Thanks,'' you say. It curves your body perfectly and the color is perfect. ''May I do your makeup?" she asks. You nod and she smiles happily.

"Oh my goooooood," Wanda says and looks at you in awe. ''You look so beautiful!'' she says. You look in the mirror and you must admit, you look stunning. ''Have some fun girl!'' Wanda says and hugs you.

The bell rings and you open the door. You see Benedict in a suit with a black tie and he's holding a bunch of roses. ''Wow,'' he says and looks at you from head to toe. You slightly get red cheeks, ''You don't look bad yourself,'' you say.

''Shall we go?'' he asks and holds out his hand for you. You chuckle, nod, and accept his hand. He led you in his car and you drove away. You notice he's fidgeting with his hand. You don't know he is nervous as hell.

He stops at a parkinglot. He steps out and helps you out like a gentleman. "What a gentleman," you say, making him blush. "Do you trust me?" Ben asks and grabs your hands. "Yes, why?" you ask curiosly. "I need you to close your eyes," he says with a little smirk. "I don't feel safe with that smirk," you laugh.

You spread your arms, "Lead me the way, Cumberbatch!" You hear him chuckling and it is so adorable. You close your eyes and let Benedict lead you the way. "Keep them closed, I've to lift you." you do as he says. He lifts you easily and puts you down. While lifting you, he held a white rose in his mouth.

"Now, open your eyes," he whispers in a low voice. You shiver at his voice and open your eyes. You see candles, picnic blanket, and food. Ben gives you the rose. "Do you like it?" he asks and puts his arms around you. "Yes, it is beautiful. You shouldn't have done this," you say. "No, I wanted to," he says and pecks your cheek. You feel your cheeks redden up. "Shall we?" he asks, you nod and hook your arm into his.

He pours some wine into the glasses. "Thanks," you say. It was a nice evening but it became cold during the date. You shiver when some wind strokes your shoulders. "Are you cold?" he asks and lays his hand on your shoulder. "A little," you say. Benedict takes off his jacket and gently lays it on shoulders. "Thanks," you say and you get up. Ben looks at you in confusion. You walk in his direction and sit next to him, laying your head on his shoulder. He puts his arm around you to keep you warm and safe.

"It was a really nice evening Ben, thank you," you say and look at him. "It was very nice," he says and looks at you. "I want to say something," Ben asks nervously. His palms are sweating. "Go ahead," you say. "I... I want you to be mine," he blurts. Your eyes widen and your heartbeat speeds up. "I have always thought you didn't like me," you say and look at the trees. "What? I like you since the day I met you," he says and makes you looking in his eyes again.

"R... Really?" you ask. "Yes you silly, you're beautiful, loyal, sweet, smart, and funny. You're everything," he says and his eyes are sparkling. "Wow, that is really the sweetest thing someone has ever said to me," you say and you're blushing by his words. "I want say something too," you say and look in his beautiful eyes. "Yes?"

"I want you to be mine too," you say. His eyes are still sparkling, his lips goes from your eyes to your lips and back to your eyes. "Fuck it," he mumbles and kisses you. It was soft but with passion. You separate and you feel happy.

"I love you," Benedict says and presses his lips on yours. "I love you too," you mumble at his lips, causing him to smile.
