2nd Person's POV
"Good morning, Miss Hudson," S.S/O yawned, groggily walking downstairs as Miss Hudson prepared tea.
"Good morning, (S.S/O), there's a letter for you,"
Miss Hudson called out, giving them the letter.
"Thank you," they smiled, blinking their eyes awake and opening the letter up, seeing an invitation to a tea party at the Moriarty estate this Sunday.
Raising a brow, they flipped over the card and saw a message behind it.
Please come if you can.
-W.S/O
S.S/O let out a chuckle, putting the invitation back inside the envelope.
"What's that?" John asked as he and Sherlock walked downstairs.
"A cry for help from (W.N/N)," S.S/O smiled as they pocketed the letter, earning a groan from Sherlock.
"What's it say?" John asked, ignoring Sherlock's sour attitude.
"Well, I'm invited to a tea party this Sunday!" S.S/O excitedly announced, making John widen his eyes.
"You can't go," Sherlock abruptly said, making you scoff.
"What do you mean I can't go?" you challenged, making Sherlock glare at you.
"It means..." Sherlock grumbled, walking over to you with a frown, "...You can't go,"
S.S/O rolled their eyes as they put their hands on their hips.
"Oh, yeah? What's stopping me?"
"Okay, now..." John intervened, placing himself between you two.
"Let's just all calm down and-"
"-We're heading out to meet with Lestrade," Sherlock interrupted as he walked out without a second thought, making John sigh and whisper an apology to S.S/O as he followed the detective.
"Leave him be, dear," Miss Hudson said as she took a sip of her tea. S.S/O shook their head with a sigh as they sat next to her.
"Sometimes I really don't understand that man..." S.S/O grumbled, pouring themselves a cup.
"Well, Sherlock has never been honest with his feelings. You know that better than anyone," S.S/O lightly chuckled, taking a sip of tea.
"Just let him be. He'll come around," Miss Hudson smiled reassuringly, calming S.S/O down.
"If you say so, Miss Hudson,"
"Wow..." S.S/O breathed out, seeing the Moriarty Manor from the carriage window.
"Oh-!" they exclaimed, seeing the long line of carriages in front of them, "...Why is the air so tense...?" they thought out loud, seeing the carriage doors open simultaneously.
Furrowing their brows, S.S/O slowly opened their doors and stepped out, seeing the women almost sprinting out of the carriages.
Out of fear, S.S/O went back inside and closed the door, the large crowd of women shaking S.S/O's carriage from the sheer force.
Suddenly, everything calmed down as the woman became more friendly with a rosy atmosphere around them.
"...What the hell...?" S.S/O muttered, carefully stepping out of their carriage and walking up to the end of the reception line.
"I hope I get to talk to Lord Albert privately..."
"I heard even the helpers are quite a sight to see!"
"Lord William, please wait for me...!"
'Ah, that's why...' S.S/O nervously laughed, feeling out of place as the women continued to fawn over themselves.
'Where are they...?' S.S/O thought with their head poking around, trying to find W.S/O.
Soon enough, they see W.S/O standing with a polite smile at the reception, earning glares from the female guests here and there.
S.S/O excitedly waved their hand around, catching W.S/O's attention as they waved back happily.
"You invited Sherlock's mate?" William asked in a hushed tone as he kept his smile.
"If I have to serve women who want nothing more than for me to drop dead, I believe I would need some kind of anchor," W.S/O whispered back, smiling at the women writing their names as they glared daggers at them.
"But they shouldn't be here,"
"They are a noble nonetheless. (S.N/N) can also be a good distraction for our guests,"
"(S.N/N)?"
"Now, now, you two... Don't forget about the mission," Jack reminded as S.S/O walked up to the reception.
"Hey, (W.N/N)!" S.S/O energetically greeted as they wrote their name, "I can see why you wanted me to be here so badly," they joked, making W.S/O chuckle.
"Yes... It'll be quite the day," W.S/O replied, leading S.S/O to the rose gardens.
William inwardly sighed as he kept his composure, making Albert chuckle.
"Don't worry, William. You'll have your chance,"
S.S/O happily hummed as they tried the different treats on their table as W.S/O stood nearby, giving the illusion they were working.
"I'm surprised you agreed to the invitation. I thought you would be out with Sherlock,"
S.S/O chuckled as they shrugged their shoulders.
"Yeah, well... We're just giving each other some space," S.S/O replied with a sad smile, twirling a spoon in their drink.
"Is everything all right with you both?"
"Yeah, yeah! Of course! Why wouldn't we be?" S.S/O reassured as they drank their tea in one go.
W.S/O raised a brow at their behavior but didn't want to pry.
As Albert gave his speech, S.S/O noticed the tense atmosphere coming back, making them raise their cup hesitantly.
As soon as Albert ended his speech, the women quickly ran up to him, their voices slowly turning into noise.
S.S/O only put down their cup and took a sip, watching the chaos unfold.
"Give me a tour?" S.S/O suggested, making W.S/O smile and nod.
"Of course, dear guest," W.S/O winked, making S.S/O chuckle as they stood up and looped their arm around W.S/O.
"Huh..." S.S/O muttered as they and W.S/O walked along the courtyard, "Your friends sure are... charming," they complimented, remembering how the men wooed over the guests with only a few words.
"You could say that..." W.S/O sighed, weary from the day.
"I'm so worried... Love is a deadly disease, is it not?" a woman in pink with heavy makeup flirted with William, making him clearly uncomfortable.
S.S/O snorted a laugh, covering their mouth as W.S/O tightened their grip, looking away with a pout.
'Oh?' S.S/O thought mischievously, smiling at their jealous friend.
"If we don't see it, we don't have to deal with it," W.S/O whispered, pulling S.S/O in a different direction, but they had other plans.
"That's quite the problem you have there, miss!" S.S/O shouted, catching everyone's attention.
"W-What?" the woman asked, clearly annoyed with the disruption as S.S/O pulled W.S/O along to the front.
"What are you doing?" W.S/O whispered, but S.S/O only gave them a wink.
"Well, you were asking for help, right? I just thought maybe we could help," S.S/O explained with a smile, making the woman scoff while William let out a sigh of relief.
"I was asking Lord William, not you two,"
"Well, too bad," S.S/O shrugged, pushing W.S/O towards William.
"What-!" W.S/O looked back at S.S/O with wide eyes, avoiding William's gaze.
"How about it, (W.N/N)?" S.S/O urged, putting their hands on W.S/O's shoulders.
"If you had the same problem as missy over here," S.S/O looked over the woman who was scowling at them, "What would you do?"
W.S/O could only glare at their friend as their cheeks flared up.
"I would also like to hear their answer," William added with a devilish smile matching S.S/O's, earning gasps from the women while W.S/O could only scream inside.
"W-Well..." W.S/O started, their eyes glued to the ground, "...If I were to be in lo-...infatuated in someone," they corrected as S.S/O chuckled.
"...I would probably admire them from afar...And help them achieve their ideals and support them with everything I could," W.S/O's voice growing softer with each word.
"And how would you support them?" S.S/O egged on, enjoying the show too much as W.S/O glared at them while the women waited expectingly for their answer.
"Such as...Taking care of them when they forget to, and showing how much they mean to me when I can," W.S/O confessed, their face so red and warm it looked like it was steaming.
"I see... What do you think about that answer, Lord William?" S.S/O asked as they hugged W.S/O from behind.
"It's quite the touching answer," William smiled, leaning down to W.S/O's ear, lifting their chin up.
"I'm sure the person you hold dear is in love... I mean is infatuated with you just as much as you are," he whispered, earning a roar of responses from the women as S.S/O pulled W.S/O out of the crowd.
"Well then!" S.S/O grinned, looking down at a completely red W.S/O as they covered their face.
"That sure caused a stir," S.S/O chuckled breathily, tired from running away from the crowd.
"What the heck was that about!?" W.S/O shouted in embarrassment, lightly hitting S.S/O.
"Ow, ow, hey! I was just trying to help! Clearly, none of your friends wanted to,"
"But not like that! There were other ways!"
"Yeah... But this was the most fun one,"
"Ugh!" W.S/O hit them one last time before stomping off, making S.S/O follow with apologies.
"Aw, come on, (W.N/N)! I'm sorry, okay? But you have to admit, it was-"
The two stopped in their tracks, seeing Sherlock pacing by the gates with flowers in hand.
"...We probably should head back before-" W.S/O grabbed S.S/O's arm as they walked towards the gate.
"Wait, (W.N/N)! I'm sorry, okay? I just wanted to help you and- Please don't make me do this!"
"Do what? I believe you told me everything was okay between you two,"
"I-Well, okay. Maybe I lied. Okay? (W.N/N) I beg you," S.S/O bit their lip as they stopped by the gates.
W.S/O gave Sherlock a smile while S.S/O looked away.
"Good day, Mr. Holmes," W.S/O politely greeted, pulling S.S/O closer.
"Good day..." Sherlock greeted, raising a brow as S.S/O kept looking away, making him sigh.
"Do you mind if you could-"
"-No!" S.S/O quickly grabbed S.S/O's arm, "Stay," they pleaded, making W.S/O sigh.
"Talk to him," W.S/O urged, removing their hold.
"Of course," W.S/O smiled over to Sherlock, "There is something I must take care of, so I'll be taking my leave," W.S/O curtly waved goodbye, giving S.S/O a look before walking off.
S.S/O sighed as they crossed their arms, leaning on the gate.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm taking you home," S.S/O scoffed as they turned to Sherlock.
"Says who? I'll go home in my own time, thank you very much,"
"(S.S/O)..." Sherlock groaned, rubbing his temples, "Did you forget what day it is?"
S.S/O raised a brow, "It's Sunday. What else?"
Sherlock let out a sigh, giving S.S/O a deadpan look, "It's your birthday, dumbass,"
"Ah!" S.S/O's eyes widened as realization hit them, "Oh, crap...! I completely forgot..." S.S/O muttered, resting their head on the gate while Sherlock shook his head.
"Idiot," Sherlock taunted, hitting S.S/O lightly on the head with the bouquet.
"You just got a new friend, and you go and ditch us for some tea party," he added, making S.S/O glare at him with a huff.
"Hey! If you just told me, I wouldn't have gone!"
"Then it wouldn't be a surprise, now, is it!?" S.S/O's eyes widened as Sherlock looked away with pink cheeks.
"...You planned a surprise party for me?" S.S/O asked, making Sherlock scoff and look away.
"Are you coming home or not!?" he asked in irritation as he shoved the bouquet, making S.S/O smile.
"All right, all right," they chuckled, taking the bouquet and holding it tightly.
"Thanks, Sherl..." they whispered, giving a wide smile.
Sherlock felt his heart skip as he looked away, "Don't get used to it..."
"Well, I see you two have gotten over your dispute," W.S/O teased, walking up to the two with a gift.
"It isn't much, but I hope you'll like it," they smiled as they gave it to S.S/O.
"Aww...! Thank you (W.N/N)!" S.S/O cheered as they hugged, making Sherlock roll his eyes.
"Well, I already told the others you will be going home early," W.S/O reassured as they opened the gate, "I hope you enjoy your birthday, (S.N/N),"
"Thanks, love," S.S/O gave W.S/O one last hug before walking up to Sherlock's side.
W.S/O motioned Sherlock to move closer, making the man lean.
"I hope you two enjoy the restaurant reservation," W.S/O whispered to Sherlock while S.S/O looked at them innocently.
"Good luck with the confession," W.S/O added, making Sherlock sharply exhale.
"Yeah, yeah... Thanks for the help," he whispered back, making W.S/O giggle.
"Take care!" W.S/O waved goodbye as the two left, making W.S/O smile at the sight.
"Quite rude to leave me with that crowd," William called out, startling W.S/O as their face warmed up.
"Y-Yes, well... I only did what is asked of me," they excused, about to walk away.
"Did you?" William replied, catching their wrist and making them face him, "Because what I said was the complete truth..."
W.S/O's breath hitched as they looked at William in bewilderment.
"...You did?" William nodded, cupping W.S/O's cheek.
"Every word..." he whispered, closening the gap between them as they leaned in.
"Lord William! Where are you?" women called out, making them pull away.
William let out a disgruntled sigh, making W.S/O giggle.
W.S/O quickly gave him a kiss on the cheek before walking off,
"Let's go. It'll be suspicious if we're both gone from the party," they reminded as they turned to William, their face completely flustered.
William breathed out a smile as he followed.
"Of course," he replied, placing a quick kiss on W.S/O's knuckles.
