HELP ME? [ONE-SHOT]

“Please (Y/N),” Sherlock looked at you with his puppy dog eyes.

You were standing in the detective’s drawing room staring at the said person.

You’d received a text from him, asking you to come urgently to his place. You were old pals and met now and then. The urgent tone of the text scared you and you rushed to 221B….only to find the detective sprawled on his sofa, surrounded by hundreds of books.

“You called me to… help you decode this riddle about books?!” You questioned him, staring at him like he’d lost it.

“..Correct,” he said simply, gazing at you with his glasz eyes.

“That text… I THOUGHT YOU WERE..I don’t know…POSSIBLY DYING!” you roared, throwing your bag at him.

He caught it and only smiled.
“Well I am obviously not so will it be a yes or no?”

You rolled your eyes at the detective.

“I’m really tired, you know? The library is a hard place to maintain,” you retorted, throwing yourself onto the sofa, beside Sherlock.

He turned to look at you.

“I know you’re tired and you’ve had a long day. Your boss shouted at you, and you’ve cried and I’m sorry but please?”

You gawked at him.

“How did- Never mind. And how selfish of you! You know I’ve had a rough day and all you care about is that case!” you spat at him. You then turned away from him sulkily.
His nerve.

Sherlock sighed.

“I’m sorry. Come here.”

You were surprised at his words. You turned to look at him and found that he’d moved closer to you.
Without thinking you put your head onto his chest as he put his arms around you, hesitantly.
You sighed into his chest and his arms tightened around you, his chin resting on the top of your head.

“Today sucked,” you mumbled, feeling drowsy all of a sudden.

“I know. It’ll be alright,” Sherlock muttered, pulling you closer and into a comfortable position. He then kissed the top of your head, which filled you with warm goodness.

“So will you help me?” Sherlock spoke into your hair.

Only, he didn’t get a reply because you were fast asleep in the detective’s sturdy arms.
