You sigh slightly as your best friend is attempting to get you to go to your exes flat "John, dear. I love you and you're my best friend but trust me when I tell you I'm not goin to that fuckin' flat, I already got enough shit goin on in my life" you smile and he looks at you
"Y/N it's been a long time since you last saw him. And what you did was a long time ago" you roll your eyes "John. Sherlock is a stubborn asshole and he doesn't let things go. I cheated on him, it was a mistake, yes. But it's still cheating. And for what? My 15 minutes of fame?" You laugh slightly and he looks at you
"Y/N he misses you. He constantly asks how you're doing, if you're still in London and if you're dating anyone" you smile softly and shake your head "I know, but you know how he'll react once I go to his flat. He'll act like the emotionless sociopath he was before we became close" he grabs your hands into his and smiles softly.
"Y/N it'll be fine. He's miserable without you, took him a while to be normal again" you laugh "normal. Funny word for him" he chuckles and looks at you "for you too" you laugh again "funny word to me too" you then sigh
Although John is like a brother to you he could be such a pain in the ass.
"If I come just this once will you drop it?" He nods "promise" you sigh then smile "looks like I have an old friend to visit"
~
You walk inside the flat, Mrs. Hudson greeted you earlier, you often came to visit her, but only when you knew Sherlock wouldn't be home.
"John, who is that with- Y/N" he breaths out and you grin "hello Sherlock. It's been a while, don't you think?" You walk over to the couch, heels clacking against the floor.
"What are you doing here- John what is she doing here?" He looks over to your best friend and he looks over to you "I convinced her to come. Sherlock you two need to talk" Sherlock huffs then looks down to you
"Well then. Talk" he sits in his chair and you look at him "well. How've you been?" You smile and set your purse on the floor.
"I've been well. And so have you, as I can see" you nod a little "I have been well. Been hanging out with Molly a lot" you smile a little and he looks at you "and Tom too?" Your smile drops and you look at him "I'm trying to make conversation, Sherlock. Can we just act civil?" You look at him and he looks at you
"I don't know, Y/N. How do you act civil with the woman who cheated on you with some big movie star?" You smile "I guess you just pretend to be nice even though it's not real. And I'm not into women" you wink and he couldn't help but crack a smile.
"But no, not in a year at least. We- I ended things. It was fun but we weren't looking for anything serious, so I thought it was best not to waste my time with someone who I couldn't fully give myself to. And you? Seeing anyone lately?" You ask and he shakes his head
"Nope" he says popping the "p", you nod a little and look at him "now, let's talk. Seriously talk. Sherlock I'm sorry for cheating. It was a basic bitch move and I regret every second of it" he huffs "did you regret it while you were fucking him?" You shake your head "Sherlock I'm trying to have a civil conversation with you, could you at least do that?" You ask raising your voice
"You cheated on me" he raises his voice and you look at him "I said I was sorry!" You yell "it doesn't change the fact that you cheated on me! You cheated on me with some actor! People don't cheat on the people they love!" He yells back, you stand up walking over to him
"That was three years ago!" You yell "leave! I didn't want you then and I don't want you now! Not since then have I thought about you!" You laugh "Sherlock, John told me you've been asking about me! You may be many things but you are not a good liar when it comes to me!" He gives you a hard glare
"Sherlock I love you. I'm in love with you and I know you're in love with me too" your hands go up but he grabs your wrists "I don't love you anymore Y/N. I don't want you anymore. You are nothing to me. You're unwanted, unlovable, clingy. It's no wonder why people don't want you around" your chest tightens at his words.
"Sherlock!" John exclaims and you shake your head "John it's fine, I'll be leaving" you grab your purse and you couldn't help but let out a choked sob "Y/N-" "don't. You've said enough" you rush out, tears falling down your cheeks.
~
"I'm sorry" John looks at you and you shake your head "it's fine, really" you smile softly and he shakes his head "it's not fine, none of this would have happened if I didn't push you to go over to Sherlock's" you force another smile "John it's alright. You made me realize how he really feels, maybe it's time for me to move on"
He looks at you "Y/N you don't just move on from the person you love, it's not as easy as it sounds" you nod a little looking at him "yeah I know. But he made it very clear he or anyone else doesn't want me" he shakes his head "Y/N anyone would be lucky to love you, Sherlock is just an annoying tit who's too stupid-"
"Got it, got it, got it. And I'm not denying that-" you hear a knock on the door "that must be Tom. On a scale of 9 to 10 how do I look?" You ask trying to lighten up the mood.
He chuckles "you look beautiful" you smile and walk over to the door and open it seeing Tom "Tom. You look handsome" you smile and he looks at you "thank you. And you look absolutely stunning" he grabs your hand giving you a twirl causing you to giggle.
"Come in" you walk in and John stands up "John" Tom gives him a polite smile "Tom" they shake hands and you smile "Tom is taking me to LA Gavroche for dinner" you smile and he nods "that's. Good. Yeah. Well, I best be off, I'll see you later" you nod and give him a friendly kiss on the cheek.
You hear knocking again and your brows furrow "thats. Weird. Molly and Greg are busy today" you walk over to the door and open it seeing a tall, curly haired detective standing in front of you "Sherlock-" he pulls you in for a kiss but you push him away.
"Sherlock!" You yell "fucked up my lipstick" Tom walks up to the both of you and his smirk fades "you made yourself very clear last week. You don't want me" you slam the door in his face not letting him talk and you see John look at you
"Told you so" you narrow your eyes "shut up" you walk over to your Murrow and touch up your makeup "did. He hurt you?" He asks and you shake your head "physically? No. Forget him ok?" You smile turning around "if only it were that easy" you think to yourself "come on. Let's go"
The rest of the night wasn't that bad, you two talked and laughed.
You care for Tom, you do. But to admit it you're still very much in love with Sherlock, although you wish you didn't.
~
You take a deep breath "you could do it, you can do this" you walk in and see Sherlock on his chair enjoying a cup of tea.
You told Tom about your feelings towards Sherlock and he understood and you two actually are remaining friends and had some coffee earlier.
"Sherlock" you look at him and he stood up "Y/N" he breaths out "don't say. Just do" you tell yourself before pulling him down for a longing kiss.
Sherlock couldn't process what was happening, so when you felt he wasn't kissing back you pulled away.
"I-I'm sorry" he looks down to you, a dark shade of pink covering his cheeks "It's fine, really" you shake your head "I shouldn't have come" you turn to leave but you feel a hand grab onto yours "no! No. It's fine" you look at him
"Did you mean what you said? About me being. Unlovable? Clingy?" You ask and Sherlock feels his heart sink, he regrets every word he said.
"No. No of course not. Y/N you were and are the most important person in my life and I love you. I'm still in love with you" his hands go up to cup your cheeks "you are?" You ask and he nods
"I am" you couldn't help but smile "well don't just stand here. Kiss me" you smile before getting on your tip toes pressing your soft lips against his slightly chapped ones.
"I love you, Y/N"
"I love you too Sherlock. Always"
