BBC Sherlock One Shots

Skinny Love (Sherlock/Reader)

Sherlock was in his happy detective mode today. He had some experiments set out, and was working away. John was out for drinks with Mary, and Mrs Hudson was out getting some food in the shop across the street.
You were basically always hanging out and visiting the boys in 221b. They were your best friends! You'd known them for almost 2 years now.

You put your tea cup back in it's saucer on the table beside you, and got up from your chair to look out the window. You could hear the faint clinking of glass coming from the kitchen, where Sherlock was experimenting.
Out the window, it was cloudy and rainy, which wasn't all that bad. You loved the weather. You loved when it was cold outside and you got to be all cozy inside. The clinking stopped and you heard footsteps. You didn't bother to turn and look to see what Sherlock was doing, but you weren't even surprised when you felt his arms snake around your waist and his chin resting on your shoulder. You were expecting that any day now. You smiled widely.

'Hullo, love.' Sherlock cooed in your ear. You and Sherlock had always shared skinny love, and you both knew it. You both cared for each other immensely but would never admit it. And here you are.

'Well then. What's all this about?' you asked and turned your head to kiss his cheek. He blushed and answered.

'We both knew it was about time didn't we?'

'Good point, Sher.'

He kissed the top of your head, and now his chin was resting there.

He moved his hands down your arms to take your hands in his. He twirled you round so you were facing him, and then brought you into a tight embrace.

'My god. I'm so happy this is finally happening.' you uttered these words into his chest, then looked up into his shining blue-green eyes. He noticed the bright pink across your face. He brushed his fingers along your cheek while his other hand rested on the small of your back. He then stopped when his fingers were at your jawline, and then leant down to kiss your lips. You tugged on the ribbon on his dressing gown and deepened the kiss. His lips were soft and light. You both smiled into it, so content in your newfound love.
Then, of course John had to come bursting in the door. He wasn't in a bad mood, though. He was smiling that bright sunshiny smile of his.

'Finally, you two! I've been standing in the doorway watching for five minutes!'

You and Sherlock both pulled away, far away from each other, suppressing your laughs.

'John, I swear I will kill you, if you bring a word of this, to anyone!' Sherlock playfully yelled at John.

'Oh, well don't worry, John won't have to tell me, I already know!' Mrs Hudson came shuffling through the door.

'Oh, you're back too?!' You exclaimed sarcastically.

After a short silence you all broke out into serious laughter for what seemed like an hour. After John went to his room upstairs and Mrs Hudson went downstairs to hers, it was, sadly, your turn to leave.

'See you, Sher.' You whispered in his ear after giving him a kiss on the cheek.

'Stay.'

'What?' you asked, confused.

'I want you to stay tonight.'

'As you wish!' you said with a smirk.

You thought Sherlock was going in for yet another hug, but instead, he put a hand under your knees, and one on your back and carried you to the comfy couch. He plopped you down and accompanied you, nuzzling his nose into your neck and breathing in your scent.

'Goodnight, darling Y/N.' Sherlock said.

'Goodnight, Sher. I love you.'
This was your life now, and you wouldn't change it for the world.
