"Hey y/n what's up?" Sherlock asks running over to you. Your parents had fought all last night so you had gotten no sleep. "You look like shit." He points out blatantly. "Thanks Sherl. It's fine I just pulled all nighter...for fun." You lie through your teeth. He gives you a weird look seeing through your simple lie but doesn't say anything. You look down at your watch and say "We should get to English." Just to change the subject. "Yeah sure, Mr. Simon is always a little touchy." Sherlock agrees. The two of you are best friends in senior year of high school. You're both pretty antisocial and usually just hang out at Sherlocks watching movies. He's a bit weird you would admit but not in a bad way. You had become very close but he still didn't know about your parents or anything, though he was suspicious.
      One night, your mom was out and the whole house smelled like alcohol. Your father stands in the doorway ready to hit you. You knew it wasn't really him, just the many beers and the fact that your mom wasn't here. The next day at school it was really hot but you wore a big hoodie and jeans. Sherlock finally confronted you, knowing how much you loved the warm weather and wearing summer clothes.
"Y/n what's wrong?" Sherlock says that morning.
"Nothing?" You look up, fake confusion painted across your face. He didn't fall for it.
"Ok fine, what's wrong isn't the right question but you know what I mean." He gestures to your clothing. "Sherlock Holmes you shouldn't be one to talk about clothes choice." You snap back pointing out his big black coat.
"But I don't personally enjoy the warmth and I always wear this coat.." he trails off realizing you had been trying to change the subject again. "No Y/n what's wrong you need to tell me I'm your best friend. Right?" He looked unsure for a moment but his eyes looked worried. You sighed finally caving in. You told him about you're parents and then fighting and everything. He had led you to an abandoned closet so the whole school didn't have to hear. At the end tears threatened to fall, but you didn't want to cry. Suddenly he gave you a hug, it was rare for him to show any affection so you hugged him back feeling safe for the first time in a while. Finally he speaks, "You can stay at my place, if..you want." He says still a little unsure.
"Really?"
He nods and smiles, it would be nice to have some company. You give him a smile and lean into him. "Sherlock you know I like you."
He chuckles and says "You know Y/n I think I like you too." And places a small kiss on your forehead.

A/n: whoops this kind of sucks sorry I'll try to update more but I'm getting less into Sherlock I still love it and I'll try to keep writing but I might make a doctor who book too. Would anybody read it?
