Overprotective

You felt your senses returning and you rolled your head around. You saw the blurry outline of a person. You blinked a few times and everything cleared up. You sighed when you saw who was there.

"Sherlock?" You asked.

He whirled around upon hearing his name.  "Oh, you're awake!" He exclaimed.

"Yah.  Umm, what happened?" You asked.

"Don't you remember?  Moriarty kidnapped you and you almost got shot!" Sherlock explained.

You squinted your eyes trying to recall the memories. You opened your eyes and gasped.

"Oh yeah!  I remember now!" You said. "Thank you." You said.

"For what?" He asked.

"Uh, for saving me!" You said laughing slightly.

"Oh!  You're welcome." He said smiling. "Do you want some tea?" He then asked.

"Yes please." You answered.

Sherlock walked into the kitchen and started to make the tea. You stood up from the couch and walked into the kitchen as well. You stood behind him and looked over his shoulder at the cups of tea. He noticed you and turned around.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you sitting down?" He asked.

"Because I was lying down for I don't even know how long and my legs aren't broken so." You said.

"But you nearly died!" He exclaimed.

"But I didn't." You responded.

Sherlock sighed and grabbed your hand. He led you back into the living g room and sat you down in his chair. You sighed frustratedly and tested your chin in your palm.
The next few days were quite similar. Sherlock wouldn't let you do anything to unless he was right there with you. At first you thought it was kind of sweet but then it got really annoying. You never said anything to him until today. It was around noon and you needed groceries.

"I'm going to the store. I'll be back in fifteen minutes." You said and grabbed your coat off the coat rack.

"Wait! Y/n, I'm coming with you!" Sherlock called rushing out of his room and into the living room.

"No! I'm going by myself." You said.

"No you're not.  I said I would come and I'm coming." He said.

"Sherlock I don't need you to follow me everywhere. It's been about a week since Moriarty kidnapped me and I'm completely fine." You said.

"But that doesn't mean he won't get you again." Sherlock said.

You sighed seeing his sad and worried expression, "Look, Sherlock. I'm a big girl. I can protect myself." You said.

"Did you protect yourself last time?" He mumbled.

"Hey, I sent you that text and without that you might never have found me." You said crossing your arms.

Sherlock sighed in defeat.  "Alright. I suppose I have been a bit overprotective." He said looking down at his feet.

"A little? Sherlock you would stand outside the bathroom door when I took a shower!" You said laughing a bit.

"Okay! A lot overprotective!" He corrected himself. "I just-I don't want to lose you." He admitted.

You walked up to him and grabbed both of his hands, "Sherlock, if there's one thing I can promise you is that I'll always be with you. In here." You said pointing to his heart.

He smiled, "And I'll always be with you." He said wrapping his arms around you.

"You won't lose me, Sherlock. I promise." You said as he stroked your hair and smiled.
