Sherlock and reader

Almost lover
Fine frenzy

Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images

"Hardly anyone can understand you."
"You just don't function like others"
The small things other people didn't see, I managed to see. People feared me for being different, for being better than them

You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I got stuck in a huge, boring crowd of mundane people. They just stood or sat as the train moved.
"Boring, isn't it?" A slightly deep voice asked from behind me. The depth of the voice signified it was a male and it seems he is taller than me.

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

I turned to face this male, smiling as I did.
"Yes. Nothing fun happens," I sigh. I pointed to a woman behind him. "Her, for an example. The ticket in her hand indicates that she catches the train regularly. Her uniform has slight dirt stains on her left knee and cuffs which may have been from the fall she experienced today. She managed to clean off her right knee with water, which is still slightly damp.

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?

"Her hair is messy because she rushed it. Must mean that she was late for the train," I finished.
"Plus, she's been playing with the hem of her shirt. A nervous tick,".
"Impressive," the male smiled.

So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should've known you'd bring me heartache

"Sherlock Holmes," he held out his hand towards me and I shook it.
"(Y/n) (l/n)," I smiled. "You're the consulting detective. Aren't you?".
"What gave that away?" He asked. I pointed towards the tanned skin male behind him, reading a magazine. On the front cover was Sherlock and a smaller, blonde.

Almost lovers always do

"Who's the blonde?" I asked, curious.
"He was my companion, John Watson," Sherlock replied. "He now lives with his wife and their child, which leaves me needing a new companion,". He looked at me suspiciously.
"A consulting detective with a companion. Is this so they can pull you out of trouble?" I smirked.

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

He ignored that, and continued to look at me suspiciously.
"You managed to notice the little things that others are oblivious to. How did you manage that?" He asked.

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you'd never ever forget these images, no

"Obviously a guess," I smiled sarcastically. He slightly glared. "Ok. I guess I just saw the little things. In school I was basically the 'wallflower', as people call them,".
"And you can fight?" He asked, looking at my swollen knuckles.
"It was required. A safety precaution for the future. Very easy to learn. Now if you ask if I've used a gun, I'd give you a different answer," I shrugged.

I never want to see you unhappy

"Good. How would you like to be my companion?" He asked.
"I get to investigate murder scenes and get into dangerous situations, right?" I grinned.
"That is required, yes," he answered.
"I'm in!" With that, we both exchanged phone numbers and soon, I moved in with him.
