Queen & BoRhap Imagines

Written in the stars~ Ben Hardy

"Class, please welcome our new student: Y/N! She's come all the way from New York so please make her feel welcome to the school!" Mr Evans explained to the class as I stood awquardly beside him. Being new to a school is hard enough but being an American, it's even harder, especially in a British school.

Mum needed to move over here so she could start her new job. We'd been struggling over in New York so she decided England would be a better place than any to set up her new business.

"Y/N, would you like to take a seat next to Ben over there? He'll be sure to make you feel welcome!" The teacher said, pointing to a table of two at the back of the classroom. Ben greeted me with a small smile, hardly looking up from his textbook. I tried to make friendly conversation to get to know him a bit better and calm my first day nerves.

At the end of the class Mr Evans called me and Ben to his desk for a chat. He said that Ben should show me around the school so I didn't get lost and we both agreed.

"So Y/N, this is the canteen. You can grab your lunch from here if you like!" Ben explained trying to make it interesting. I couldn't help but let out a small laugh at his attempt to make a canteen exciting.

"What's so funny darling?" He asked, smiling subtly.
"Nothing, I'm just impressed at your talent for tour guiding!" I replied laughing again.
"It's my speciality! I love showing people around this shit-tip!" He announced, laughing too.

This was the beginning. The beginning of our life long friendship. We grew so close after that day and ended up spending everyday together. I helped Ben get his first proper on-screen role and after seeing the daily struggle he faced on set, I decided my place was behind the camera.

"What do you think Y/N?" Ben asked, showing me round a modern apartment he wanted to rent.
"It's your place Benny, you have to decide for yourself!" I chuckled, hugging his bicep.
"What if it wasn't mine?" He said quietly, turning to face me.
"What are you saying Ben?" I smiled, rather confused by his question.
"What if the apartment was ours? Would you live with me Y/N, please darling?" He asked, taking my hands tenderly in his and staring pleadingly into my eyes.
"I'd love to Ben!" I declared, hugging him close.

Seeing as I practically lived with Ben before, moving in with him was a breeze. There wasn't a single argument about bedrooms or which cupboards were whos. There was one problem however, Ben often had female company of an evening meaning I was forced into my bedroom to try and drown them out.

"Y/N darling, I'm going out tonight! Do you want to tag along?" Ben asked leaning against my bedroom doorframe.
"Ben as much as I'd love to I've got work to do! And plus, I don't suppose having your best friend with you will do you any favours with the ladies. Now go and have a good night and don't get into trouble!" I said, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek and walking into the kitchen.

"Y/N, please!" Ben whined, running behind me.
"Ben, I've got my course to finish!" I giggled, turning to face him.
"Y/N! I'll literally pay you to come out with me! I just want to dance with you darling!" He announced, laughing too.
"FINE!" I shouted, punching him lightly in the arm.

I decided to put on a black, mesh top with my blue denim skirt accompanied by some light, gold jewelry. I stepped out of my room to be greeted by a wide-mouthed Ben, his eyes looking me up and down hungrily. I couldn't help but feel extremely self conscious as I'd never experienced such attention from my best friend.

"U-uh, Ben. Should we go?" I stuttered, avoiding eye contact with him.
"Oh, yeah sure darling! Let's go!" He said, clearly snapping himself out of a daydream.

Soon after arriving at the club we were ushered in and pushed straight towards the bar. Ben ordered us both a drink and we tried to find somewhere that wasn't so crowded.
