Silence Will Fall (BBC Sherlock Fanfiction) ✔️

Chapter 20

Irene Adler ended up going back to her flat after recieving a text from Kate stating 'i am fine and miss you'

I then lie on my couch and relax. I check my phone, to see three new texts.

Sorry couldn't answer... Being british government and all. -MH

What are these pictures? Why did you kiss my forehead?! WHAT?!- SH

You forgot something here at 221B , just found it.- John

I reply back, with a grin of course.

Oh trying to pick me up with your power I see ;) -Isis

Irene thought you deserved a gift, and you were having nightmares you loser :P -Isis

John I'll come up now ok?- Isis.

I then wear something more comfortable, and hail a taxi. I arrive and walk in quietly, the door open. I see john sitting down, drinking tea, as I hear Sherlock's footsteps walking in his bedroom. I smile at john, who offers me tea.

"No thank you, so what did I forget?" He then gives me my USB. My eyes widen, forgetting I had it.

"Where was it?"

"It was on the floor of the stairs...." I nod, and hug him.

"You possibly just saved all of england." His eyes widen, and look at the key.

"Computer codes, databases, very very bad stuff." He looks down at his feet. I then turn around and walk into sherlock's bedroom. He looks up at me and sighs.

I smile at him and sit on his bed. He looks at me through the mirror, then looks back at his reflection.

"Sherlock you're confused. What is it?" He shakes his head.

"I don't know..." A look of horror strucks across his face.

"I... Don't.....Know.." He mumbles. He then sits down on the bed, next to me. I rub his shoulder and he relaxes. He closes his eyes, leans forward onto his knees, and puts his hand in a prayer position.

"Thinking wont always help Sherlock. Actions are stronger than thoughts." He opens his eyes to look at me.

"Is something wrong with me?" I lean my head on his shoulder.

"I always think that sherlock. 'Am I broken? Am I a broken down toy?' Never Sherlock. Toys are different from every perspective. We are never truly 'broken'. We are all the same tattered toys, but are brought into different light by different perspectives." He leans his head on mine and sighs.

"Why are we close? What is this?" I laugh and shake my head, making sherlock move off my head.

"You don't want to admit it, but I'm your friend." I say in a playful sing song voice.

"No we're not." I laugh.

"Yes we are." He just looks at me and shakes his head, causing me to giggle. I stick my tongue out and he does it back.

"Oh sherlock don't do that, you look horrifying." He just rolls his eyes.

"Now, I should leave, since I came here to get something." I wave my USB key in the air. Sherlock looks at it, then back at me.

"Stay here." I shake my head.

"Sherlock, I have to go." I yawn and get up.

"Sleep here. I could tell John to sleep on the couch?" I laugh.

"No no. John deserves proper sleep." Sherlock sighs.

"Sleep in my bed." I bark out a laugh.

"Sherlock, so pushy?" He rolls his eyes, a hint of a smile on his face.

"No thanks, you should sleep well too, considering you don't ever sleep." He just sighs.

"Bye sherlock." I hug him, and he hugs me back, loosely. I look at my phone to see it's already 12 in the morning. I walk back to my apartment, and Mycroft actually comes up to me, with the sleek black car.

"Well? Are you going to sit with me or not?" I sigh and sit in the car.

"What's wrong Mycroft?" He looks at me and rubs his eyes and face.

"This Adler case. It is annoying me with the pestering of .. Well, you know who." I laugh and look at him.

"Mycroft... Are you... Annoyed at the royal family?" I start barking out laughter.

"Oh shut up!" He scowls at me. I giggle.

"The centre of the British empire? Your annoyed at them? Oh this is christmas." He rolls his eyes at me. I smile back at him.

The car stops and I sigh. I turn to mycroft.

"Bye Mycroft." I hug him and walk out.

I then collapse on the couch and fall asleep.
