Code Name : Chaos (A BBC Sherlock Fanfiction)

XXXI : Rebound (Sam)

I scowled as Kara triumphantly punched the air. "Checkmate ! That's what, 5 in a row ?" She said grinning. I mock pouted before smiling. I thought back to the first time I'd seen her, a day after she came back from the hospital.

"Sara ?" I yelled, stepping through the door. There was no one in sight. "Sara ?" I called again. No response. I whipped my head around as I heard a door open. Kara stood in the doorway to her bedroom, terrified. "No, No, PLEASE DON'T HURT ME." She shrieked, thinking I was here to finish the job Moriarty started. "No, Kara I'm good, I'm not here to hurt you." I began stepping forward. She sprang forwards, taking me by surprise. She dealt me a roundhouse kick to the stomach. I gave up when she punched me in the jaw, I scrambled backwards, reeling. "Look Kara, I swear I'm not working for Moriarty anymore. I know nothing can make you believe me but I'm so sorry for what I did." She said nothing, walking over to the sink. Gesturing for me to sit down, she began to gently clean my bleeding face. "I believe you." She said sincerely. I gave her a small smile.

Ever since then we'd become fast friends, bonding over our past lives. I glanced to her as she smiled victoriously. I grinned evilly before clocking her around the head with a pillow. She turned around with a scowl, before grabbing a pillow and launching herself at me. I stumbled backwards as the short but feisty brunette brought us tumbling to the ground. She landed on top of me, our bodies pressed close together. She turned red, muttered an apology, and rushed into her room, leaving me sat in the floor, staring after her in bewilderment.

Kara
I frowned. Sherlock didn't love me. What he felt for me was borderline hatred, right ? So why did I feel guilty. I sighed as the door opened and Sam walked in. "I'm sorry." I said, "I just, I just miss him." I looked away. "I had someone too you know. Her name was Elaine, she was sweet and gentle and wonderful. She was everything I wasn't. I was going to propose but, but then Moriarty found out and he, he murdered her in cold blood." His fists clenched and I rested my hand on his arm. "I am so sorry." He looked down. I hesitated before opening my mouth. "I don't have feelings for you Sam." I said, unconsciously making a decision. "Ummm...Neither do I ?" He said confused.
"Good." I Said, before pulling his lips down to mine. He flailed around for a moment, before pushing me away, holding me at arms length. "We can't do this." He said hoarsely. I smiled coyly. "Why not ? We don't have feelings for each other. We'll be each other's rebounds." I took his silence as permission for me to crash my lips to his. This time he didn't hesitate. The kiss was wild and furious as we drowned our sorrows out. We forgot all the loss and all the pain. The kiss was salty from our intermingled tears which had begun to fall at some point. "If Sherlock can move on, so can I." I thought as we fell onto the bed.

AN : Have I broken your hearts ? Don't worry though, Sherlock and Kara will end up together !! Hang in there 😘😘😘
