You were walking down the street back to 221B, basket full of food for Mrs Hudson, when you see Watson walking towards the door. "Hello, Watson." You greeted with a smile. Watson smiles over at you and nods. "Hello, (y/n)." He greeted. "Come to check on Holmes." You said and Watson let's out a sigh and said. "Yes. Haven't seen him since the hanging." You nod and the two of you walk inside.

"I didn't know you cooked?" Watson said as he points at the basket. You look down at it and said. "Oh, this is for Mrs Hudson."

You walk over to her door and knock on it. She opens and smiles at you. "Thank you, (y/n). That's most generous of you. I don't know what I'm going to do without you if you ever decide to leave." She said.

"It was my pleasure, Mrs Hudson." You said, with a smile.

She closes the door and you turn around to face Watson. "That does raise an important question." He said.

"What does?" You asked.

"This fellow Holmes was talking about, are you really thinking about moving in with this gentleman?" Watson asked. You let out a sigh and shrug.

"I don't know, Watson. I'm so confused. On the one hand, I want to get away from here and get on with my life and have a family. But on the other, I really like doing what I'm doing and....." You stopped yourself when Watson talks over you. "You've taking a fancy towards Holmes." He replied, arms folded across his chest. You look up at him and nod.

Watson is the only person that knew of your feelings towards the detective, and who knew that an army doctor could give out good advice on love when there for awhile he was having problems finding one. "I still think you should tell him." Watson said. You shake your head and said. "I was going to but that was until...." You started to say when suddenly you heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

You look up and see the last person you wanted to see and who you were just talking about. "Oh....hello sister, dear." Irene said as she walks down the stairs.

"What the hell are you doing here, Irene?" You asked, venomously.

"Oh, nothing happened. I'm sorry, I wish I could chat longer but I've got to dash." She said, smiling at you, and she runs out the door.

Watson looks to the door your sister departed from then looks back at you and shakes his head. The two of you walk up the stairs when Holmes walks down, putting on a coat, towards the window on the landing.

"Holmes? What are you doing?" Watson asked him.

"Nothing." Holmes replied, nonchalantly.

"Are you wearing a false...?" You started to ask but Holmes talks over you.

"A false nose? No." He said.

"Then would you mind telling me what the hell my sister was doing here?" You asked, angrily, as he opens the window and begins to climb through it.

"Holmes! Where are you going?" Watson asked him.

Holmes climbs through the window and jumps down until he hits a roof of a shed and fell through it. "(Y/N)? Watson?" You hear him call out. You growl under your breath as Watson shakes his head and closes the window and the two of you walk into the flat.

Afterwhile, Holmes comes back looking like a homless begger. "Look at you, I can't believe you ran after her like a schoolboy. Are you a masochist?" You asked him, anger bubbling in your chest. "Allow me to explain...." Holmes said as he approaches you and Watson.

"Allow me! She's the only adversary, who ever outsmarted you. Twice. Made a proper idiot out of you." Watson spat.

"Right, you've had your fun." Holmes replied.
