His Last Vow (Sherlock x Female!Reader)

Chapter 9: Sending Sherlock into Exile

FLASHBACK

You were walking past all the offices at Scotland Yard until you arrived to the one you needed to get to. You knock once and you hear Lestrade say. "Come in." You open the door and walked towards his desk. "Ah! (Y/N)....what do you need?" He asked.

"That case, about the teenage girl who was murdered. It was her neighbor, Mr Granger." You said.

"What?" Lestrade asked.

"He was wearing the bracelet that she was last seen wearing before she disappeared and when I asked him about the girl he kept describing her like she was angel and talked about how innocent she was. Also...." You said and you pull out a plastic bag with bloody clothes inside.

Lestrade's eyes widen at this and asked. "Where the hell did you get those?" You smirked and set the bag on his desk. "It depends.....will I get into trouble even though I solved the murder?" You asked. Lestrade sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Hmmm....interesting." said unfamiliar deep voice next to you. You turn your head and see a tall, handsome man with dark curly hair, high cheekbones and wearing a long black trench coat with the collar flipped up and a blue scarf wrapped around his neck.

The one thing you really noticed was his gray eyes, staring at you with interest. He walks up to you, taking his glove off and holds up his hand up to you. "Sherlock Holmes." He said as you take his hand and you to shake hands. "Ooohh....so you're the famous Mr Holmes that my aunt told me about." You said as you smile at him.

He looks you over and said. "You're the niece of Mrs Hudson, you are also an only child; both of your parents have passed away; you also have just gotten out of a bad relationship and what's interesting is that you have great observation skills." He said and you smile.

"That was amazing Mr Holmes!" You said.

"Please call me Sherlock." He said.

You nod and said. "And I'm sure you know my name but I'm (y/n) (l/n)." Sherlock smirks at you then turns to Lestrade.

"Lestrade, you need to put her in more cases....she's at least more competent than anybody here." He said and then he turns around and leaves the room. Lestrade chuckles and you turn to look at him.

"What?" You asked him.

"I knew he would like you and I have a feeling you like him too." Lestrade said.

You stare at him then looked towards the door that Sherlock left through and gave a small smile. "Yes....he has captured my interest." You whispered as you look at the door, curiously.

Few days later, you were walking down the streets when you see the familiar tall, curly haired man walking towards you. "Ah good, I found you. How would you feel about solving crimes with me?" He asked you, quickly.

"Seriously? Does the the great Sherlock Holmes need help?" You asked him in a teasing voice but he just rolls his eyes at you. "You are the only person that's smart enough to know what you are doing. You are also the only one I can tolerate." He said as you smile and chuckle.

"Must have been some impression I've made on you." You said and Sherlock gives you a small smirk.

"Oh, do my eyes deceive me? Did I make you smile?" You asked still in the teasing voice and you see he is getting annoyed and you laugh. "I'm just messing with you, Sherlock. And to answer your question, yes I will join you." You said Sherlock looks over at you and you see, in his eyes, there's a look of shock.

"Really?" He asked.

"Well of course! The things I've heard about you, it sounds like you make an investigation interesting. And I like interesting." You said and he smiles at you.
