I love your 5000 Miles universe so much and have to ask: did Benedict keep his mouth shut about Kate being back so the lovebirds could have Saturday all to themselves or did he let it slip?
OMG, I'm so happy you liked it <3 I just wanted to do something light and fun for Anthony's bday. I am so glad that people are excited about it. I'm considering writing either the Sunday Brunch or the Pub night with Sophie next but it's all still under planning. Is there anything you’d like to see?
Oh, yes he did, for a few reasons.
1- Anthony and Kate deserve some time together after spending so long apart and he's aware just how chaotic and insane their families are and there was a huge chance they'd show up to Anthony's house and probably spend the entire day there. They deserved some peace and quiet to enjoy themselves.
2- Anthony would definitively sneak into his flat at night and kill him in his sleep if he did let it slip and if Anthony did not do it, Kate probably would. If they did not plan his murder together. They were a surprisingly cohesive team for a couple who could not even be allowed to play Uno together. He loves his life too much, and he does not want to risk it. He’s gonna hang out with Sophie on Friday!
3- Benedict did enjoy watching the world burn and he had first-row tickets to the shit show that would be Anthony showing up with Kate on Sunday Brunch without a word. He might even innocently let out a comment about how Edwina must have known, because Kate would have told her she was home, right? A man has the right to entertain himself if the opportunity arises. And the opportunity certainly did not disappoint.
As follows, Benedict's representation of Benedict watching chaos unfold on Sunday Brunch:
