A/N: This is set in France before Sherlock met John and William in the UK. I only used google translate for the French part since I don't know French. Apologies if it's wrong ^^"

(Y/N): Your First Name
2nd Person's POV
"Yep... It's busted," Sherlock grumbled as he closed the hood, making you bite your lip.
"Oui... Oui, je comprends... Merci pour votre temps," you declined the call with a sigh, turning to Sherlock.
"The tow company said it'll take at least two hours to get here," you muttered, looking around the road.
"Maybe we can ask for help from a-AAHHH!!!" you screeched as something jumped out of the bushes, revealing a small squirrel.
"Pfft," Sherlock covered his mouth, his shoulders shaking as he turned away from you.
"Shut up! It's your fault for making me watch horror movies last night!" you punched his back repeatedly, making him laugh.
"Yes, yes... Sorry," he smiled as he rubbed your head, making you grumble.
"Then should we walk? It should be close by," Sherlock suggested, looking around the road.
You pursed your lips as you looked around, the darkness of the forest and the rustling of leaves giving you an uneasy feeling.
"D-Don't you think we should stay in the car? And you know... Not wander around like a bunch of characters in a horror movie?" you asked as Sherlock took your things from the car.
"It should be a fifteen-minute walk from here, and you said the tow company's gonna take two hours," Sherlock answered as he double-checked the car.
"Do you want to stay here for that long?" he asked, making you shake your head.
"Then let's try walking. We can always go back if you want," Sherlock locked the car, but you were still wary.
"But you can stay here while I check around," Sherlock offered as he tossed you the car keys, leaving you behind.
"H-Huh?" you fumbled the keys as you tried to catch it, "Hey! Wait for me!" you shouted, running after him.
You hugged Sherlock's arm tightly as you walked along the side of the road, watching your environment closely.
"Don't worry, (Y/N)," Sherlock reassured, ruffling your hair.
"If a bloodthirsty squirrel jumps out again, I'll protect you,"
"Oh, shut it!" you scowled, making him chuckle.
"(Y/N), we're literally in broad daylight,"
"But we're in the middle of nowhere," you countered, holding onto him tightly.
"No," Sherlock showed you his phone with a GPS, "We're not. We'll be fine," he kissed your fingertips, "Trust me," he smiled, easing your anxieties a little.
"Okay..." Sherlock muttered, raising his phone to the sky.
"Wait here. I'll be right back," Sherlock hollered as he walked off, moving his phone around.
"H-Huh? Okay..." you mumbled as you looked around, your head snapping in each direction.
You paced around the side of the road, trying to ignore your anxieties.
'Relax, (Y/N)... Sherlock will be right back and-' you saw the bushes rattle, making you freeze.
"I-It's just gonna be a squirrel again," you muttered, but you kept your eyes focused on the bushes, readying yourself to run.
"Hey-" you felt someone grab your shoulder, making you jump and scream, scaring off whatever was in the bushes.
You quickly turned around and saw it was Sherlock covering his ears.
"Sherlock!" you shouted, furrowing your brows and balling your fists.
"Don't scare me like that!" you cried, your vision growing blurry as you wiped your eyes.
"S-Sorry, I didn't mean to..." Sherlock apologized as he hugged you, rubbing your back.
"...Did you get any signal?" you asked, wiping your tears.
"Yeah... About that..." Sherlock nervously laughed, confirming your fears.
"Yep." you sighed in defeat as you hid your face in his chest, "We're lost. In the fucking woods."
