Beautiful Distraction - Sherlock X Reader

Chapter 5 - Apology

Sherlock's P.O.V.:

(Y/n) was walking in front of me and John while we were exiting the building. When we got out I yelled:

"Hey, (Y/n) stop!" She turned around with an angry expression on her face.

"Nah, I don't think you want to waste your precious time on amateur like me." She said, obviously angry. She had every right to be. When I called her an amateur I've done something I've never done before - I jumped into a conclusion too fast.

"Look, I'm..." God, will I really do this? Well... I have to. I have a feeling that I have to do so.

"I'm sorry." I muttered.

"What? I haven't heard you?" I knew she heard me very well. She just wanted to irritate me. Well, it worked.

"I said that I'm sorry! Happy?" I yelled. I saw John staring at two of us with a highly amused facial expression.

I thought she will be even angrier after I yelled at her but her reaction surprised me - she smiled from ear to ear and said:

"Oh, very happy."

I barely knew her, and she was already getting on my nerves, and I think she knew that.

(Y/n)'s P.O.V.:

He was really angry right now. I wanted to irritate him because of what he said back inside - amateur. We'll see who's an amateur.

"Need anything else Mr. Holmes?" I asked.

He didn't answer me right away. He looked like he had an inner battle. He probably did.

"I..." he sighed.

"I have a case to solve, Mr. Holmes, so if you could tell me what you need this year, it would be marvellous." I grinned.

Sherlock's P.O.V.:

"Look..." I didn't want to say this. I really didn't want to, but I had to. I continued:

"You definetely are not my favourite person I've met so far..."

"Oh, I feel the same way Mr. Holmes."
I ignored her comment and continued:

"...but as much as I hate admitting it....... you're brilliant. You're very smart, unlike others from Scotland Yard, and I was actually wondering if you would like to join me and John and help us to solve this case. I could do it on my own, and let's be honest -  you could too, but it would be much faster if we worked together."

God, that was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my whole life. I apologised and asked for help within 2 minutes.

What's gotten into me?

(Y/n)'s P.O.V.:

I was shocked, and I could see John was too. I didn't know this man for long, but I knew this isn't something he does often, just by looking at his face. I didn't know what to say.

"I..."

He was right. I could solve this case by myself, and I knew he could too. But he had a point when he said that it would me quicker if we were working together.

"If you could answer this year it would be marvellous." He said imitating my voice, and I knew it was in order to irritate me, but it didn't. I couldn't help but giggle a bit.

"Yes. It would be my pleasure." I finally answered.

"Good."

We looked at each other's eyes. God, he had beautiful blue eyes. The most beautiful shade of blue I've ever seen- WAIT A SECOND! Why in the earth am I thinking about his eyes? You've got a case, girl! You have to concentrate! When I finally looked away, I saw that John was smiling.
"So, what did you have in mind, Mr. Holmes?" I asked, ignoring a stupid smirk John had on his face.

"First: stop calling me by my surname." He said and rolled his eyes. "Call me Sherlock."

"Okay."

"And speaking of the case: I need to inform an old colleague of mine that his employee has just been murdered."

"Sounds like a plan to me!" I said and called a cab. We entered in. John sat between me and Sherlock. I wish I - NO! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!! Don't you dare finish that thought! Stupid brain! I turned my head in the other direction, and tried to distract it by looking through the window.

Sherlock's P.O.V.:

I was looking through the window while we were driving, trying to figure out what the hell happened earlyer?! I mean nothing heppened but still, what happened?? One moment I just wanted to solve this case and hopefully never see (Y/n) again, and next moment I find myself not being able to take my eyes off of her. I stared at her (Y/e/c) and I got lost in them. I forgot where I was until she looked away. What happened? I wonder...NO! STOP! You have to focus on the case!

John's P.O.V.:

I couldn't believe in what have I just seen. First: Sherlock apologises and asks for help within 2 minutes. Second: ... that... whatever 'that' was. One moment they were fighting, and I seriously thought they are going to murder each other, but next moment they were staring in one another and couldn't look away. I couldn't help but think of the impossible: Sherlock falling in love. I smiled at that thought. Earlier, I wouldn't be able to imagine him falling in love, and if somebody told me:

'Hey John, guess what? Sherlock is going to fall in love one day!' I would've just laughed, told them they were ridiculous and something like that is impossible. Now, I could see him fall in love with (Y/n).

The way those two talked - finishing each other's sentences, the way their minds worked - just the same, the way they dressed - shirt, blazer, coat, scarf. Perfect.

Those two will fall in love. I know it.

A/n:

Yeah, yeah I know the ending is crappy, but it had to end there.
Anyways, thank you for reading and have a good day/night dear readers! 😄
