The Sign of Three (Sherlock x Female!Reader)

Chapter 1: Into Battle

"What did he do now?" You asked Lestrade. You were sitting in your office at Scotland Yard and Lestrade came in and told you he was going to kill Sherlock. "I was in the middle of making an arrest on those bank robbers that we've been having trouble with these past few months, and your boyfriend decided to text me and said he needed help and that it was really important and I sent maximum back up to Baker Street." Lestrade said.

"Uh-huh." You said looking at him.

"Turned out he needed help on writing a bloody best man speech for John." He said and you busted out laughing.

"It's not funny, (y/n)!" Lestrade said, angrily.

"I'm....sorry Lestrade....but... that's...hysterical!" You said in between laughs.

"Well, I'm glad you find it funny." Lestrade said as you try to calm down.

After taking a few deep breaths, you finally calm down and asked. "So what do you want me to do about it?"

Lestrade looks over at you and said.
"Well, since you are his girlfriend...I was wondering...if you could....talk to him about that. Maybe tell him don't text me unless it's an actual emergency. And if there's something like a small emergency like figuring out a speech or something, he should text you."

You slightly shake your head and said. "I'll do what I can."
Lestrade lets out a deep breath and looks relieved. "Thank you, (y/n)." He said and he leaves your office while you still chuckle at his story.

That night, you make your way to Baker Street and head up to the flat. You open the door and see Sherlock sitting in his chair, hands in the praying position in front of his mouth. You smile as you close the door behind you and set your jacket on arm of the sofa. "Evening, love." You said. Sherlock looks over at you and gives you a small smile.

"Lestrade told me what you did earlier today." You said as you walk over to him. "And he asked you to talk to me." Sherlock said. "Well, yeah....look Sherlock, when you have an emergency like that text me.." You started to say but Sherlock interrupts you. "But it was important!" He said.

"No, Sherlock, it really wasn't....well at least to Lestrade it wasn't....but....just don't do that again....I think you got Lestrade in trouble with the Chief. If you think it's an emergency, text me first and I'll tell you if it's okay for you to bother Lestrade. Okay?" You said as Sherlock rolls his eyes. You shake your head and walk over to him and kiss him on the cheek.

You the head to the bedroom to get some night clothes when Sherlock asked. "Where are you going?" You turn to face him and said. "I'm going to get some clothes and take a shower." You walk few paces to the bedroom then you turn around and smile, seductively, at him and said. "You can join me, if you want." And you turn back around towards the bedroom and you heard Sherlock get up from his chair and walking behind you.

"(y/n)." You hear Sherlock's voice say to you. You were sleeping on the bed, naked since you and Sherlock made love last night, and you kept groaning. "Five more minutes...." You mumbled.

Sherlock chuckles at this and leans down to kiss you. You, of course, kiss back and when you pull apart, you open your eyes and see Sherlock is dressed in a white shirt and black pants and wearing a camel colored dressing gown. "What's wrong, sweetheart?" You asked as you rub your eyes. "I need your help with something....get dressed, please." He said and he heads out the door. You get up out of the bed and stand up, almost falling over since your legs decided to wobble a little bit, but you regain your balance and grabbed some comfortable clothes.

Once you get dressed, You walk into the living room and see that he has set up a music player of the dining table. "I need help road testing the music I composed for Mary and John." He said and you smile at this. "Oh okay." He turns and pushes the play button on the player and a gentle waltz play's through the the speakers.
"Oh, Sherlock that sounds beautiful!" You said and Sherlock holds his hand out towards you. You take his hand and he pulls you towards him, he places his right arm around your back and you place your left hand on his shoulder and he takes your right hand in his left and the two of you start to dance in time with the music.
