Sherlock had phoned the police and Jim took a cab home.
When the police arrived we were questioned about the body, and we also got a cab home.
Me and Sherlock didn't speak the entire ride home, he just held my hand tightly.
Finally, when we arrived by the door;before we went in he spoke.
"Y/N...?" He asked, as we stood facing each other.
"Yea?" I asked, finding it difficult to speak, as to what had just happened.
"I'm sorry you had to experience that...truly I am." He said, pulling me in for a tight hug.
"You apologize like it was you're fault." I said.
"What?" He asked.
"It's not you're fault he did that to me..." I said slowly.
"It's my fault for not keeping you safe, and for jumping to stupid conclusions so quickly." He said loudly.
"Sherlock..." I protested.
"Did he hurt you anywhere...?" He asked, pulling away, but placing his hands on my shoulders and staring at my face.
"N-No..." I said, shaking my head quickly.
"Y/N I know when you're lying..." He said, staring at me intently as I stared down at the floor.
"H-He..." I pointed to a bite mark on my neck.
Sherlock's expression hardened, as he bit his top lip with his bottom teeth, in silent anger, while staring at the mark.
"Sherlock are you okay?" I asked, hesitantly.
"Yea I'm...fine." He said slowly.
"Okay..." I said, awkwardly.
He took my hand and dragged me inside the house.
Both our parents had left a note saying they were out for dinner, and Sherlock demanded me to go change into my pajamas.
I came downstairs shortly after, to see Sherlock with a huge blanket wrapped around him.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Come here." He said, stretching his arms and the blanket out for a hug.
A blanket hug.
Just what I needed.
How does he always know?
Even though I was really sad for what had happened today, I still ran up and wrapped my arms around his waist and he wrapped his arms as well as the blanket around me.
I shut my eyes and relaxed in his arms.
"Tired, are we?" He asked.
I nodded with a sigh.
He picked me up bridal-style and carried me to the couch, taking a seat himself, then placing me on his lap, the blanket still wrapped around us.
I shut my eyes again and snuggled into him, quietly.
I felt so safe in his arms, like I had finally found somewhere I belonged. Other than the shower where I could sing my heart out.
He twirled strands of my hair around his finger, and kissed me lightly on the cheek numerous times.
And just like that,
I fell asleep.
Well...I was about to fall asleep.
Before I could drift off in the romantic moment, we heard a painful groan come from upstairs.
My eyes popped open and I looked up at Sherlock who was still twirling strands of my hair.
"Did you hear that?" I asked.
"Yes." He said, cautiously.
"Let's investigate." I said, excitedly.
"I'll investigate, you rest." He said.
"Noo...I wanna investigate too." I pouted like a kid.
He placed a quick kiss on my pouting lips.
"Is that a yes?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No. It's a fine." He said.
"Works for me." I said, and we both got up.
Screw falling asleep romantically in my love's arm's,
I'd rather go ghost hunting with him, and I knew he was getting bored of the sentimental stuff too.
