Benedict Cumberbatch Imagines

The Scienist (3)

You blinked once and felt weight being lifted off your arm. Everything surrounding you was blurry and the noises were faint. A lean figure poked half his body out of the door. "Nurse! I need a nurse," he sounded faint to you.

You moved your neck finding it was a grave mistake. Pain surged through your body. You groaned out loud and pressure was soon on your arm again. "Baby, baby. Hey, hey, hey look at me. Look at..," he began to cry as he held your face in his hands.

Everything was becoming much clearer. You recognized him and immediately felt relief. "B.. Ben," you were weak. "I'm here darling, I'm here. Don't force yourself, a nurse is on they way," he wiped away a tear and kissed your hand. "I- I don't have much time," you forced yourself to speak.

"No darling don't say that, the nurse will be here any moment," he kissed your knuckles again while leaning up against the bed. "I love you too," you weakly said with your hoarse voice. More tears were building in Ben's crimson eyes. "Thank you for brining the camera," you gradually shifted your gaze to him, "and reminding me of the good times we had." Ben tried shushing you while choking up on his tears, "Love..."

You gradually reached out to his hand and caressed it, "I will never forget the night we met." He shook his head, "No, not now, you just woke up. You can't--"

"--I love you Ben," you whispered with your last breath. The monitor showed a flatline. Ben was in shock, he didn't hear the nurse calmly entering the room. His heart was rapidly beating while yours was resting. He was oblivious of the moment the nurse ran out the door to grab more nurses and a doctor.

"Mr. Cumberbatch we'll need to step away," a nurse attempted to pick him up but he was stiff. With the help of a male nurse, they both got him up and took proceeded to take him out of the room while a doctor began giving orders. Ben became conscious of the moment and tried fighting to go by your side; it was useless.

They were able to only take him to the corner of the room. He witnessed the moment they tried to restart your heart with the electric shock. After a few attempts they stepped away from your body. "I'm so sorry Mr. Cumberbatch," the doctor moved to his side.

"No," his shaky voice said. A nurse let go of him, Ben went straight to your side and held onto your hand. "Darling.. please wake up," he croaked out. A nurse placed his hand on his shoulder, Ben only shook his head. "No, no no no no!" tears didn't stop flowing out.

"No, no no no no!" Ben screamed from the top of his lungs. "Ben! Ben wake up," you jolted his body. He abruptly sat up from his laying position, breathing heavily. "Ben what's wrong?" you worryingly said. He was out of breath, his chest heaved and there were tear stains on his cheeks.

Ben immediately hugged you, you felt his muscles lose some tension at the contact. You embraced him back, "Ben what's going on?" His face rested on the cave of your neck, "Horrible nightmare." You intertwined your fingers with his locks, "It's okay, it's over now."

His breathing pattern gradually became normal. You kissed his curls, "It's okay," you kept comforting him. Ben stayed in that position for a few minutes, enjoying every second with you. You played with one of his curls, "Now that you're awake, are you ready to leave?" Ben was enjoying your company and kept his head on your neck, "Where?" You slightly giggled, "To the dinner you promised me."

Ben sat up properly and gazed at your outfit; it was the exact same one you wore the night of the crash. His hairs stood on their end and his muscles tensed; you noticed his change, "..or we can just stay home. Ben nodded his head, "Let's just stay home, please," you could hear the fear in his voice.

"Okay," you smiled at him and intertwined your fingers with his. He laid down bringing you along with him. Ben pecked your neck with kisses to hear your voice giggle. "Let's look at your souvenirs," he said after a few minutes. "The ones you don't like?" you enquired with a chuckle.

He connected his lips with yours, "I love them. You bought them which makes them more special." You caressed his cheek, "God I love you." He nuzzled himself closer to you, "I love you more."
