Sherlock x Reader : Late Night Reading.

Request from The_Coolest_Timelord

(YN) : your name (LN) : last name (HC) : hair colour (EC): Eye colour (HL):Hair length (FHD): Favourite hot drink (YI): Your initials (MN): Middle name (FCP): Favourite Chinese food

You were sitting in 221B, with your a book in your hands. You have been sitting there since early this morning. Sherlock and John brushed past you this morning and had left to go to a new case that Lestrade had given them. You haven't finished the book yet, you were halfway through it. You had a cup of (FHD) beside you and you occasionally sipped the hot drink. Mrs Hudson occasionally walked in and refilled your mug.

You saw your phone go off

We need you for the case, please come as soon as you can - SH

You sighed and text him back

I'm busy - (YI)

What could be more important than a case? - SH

You rolled your eyes and switched your phone off, not wanting to be interrupted by Sherlock. You went back to reading your book. The whole flat was in complete utter silence, it was a change from the usual rash and brash atmosphere that John and Sherlock always created. You sighed and pushed your hair away from your face, you looked at your book and read 20-ish pages before putting your book down. You felt peckish so you walked up to the kitchen, you searched the cupboards for something but was unsuccessful.

You gulped and stared at the fridge, you feared what could be in the fridge. Last time you checked, there was a head in the fridge and many severed fingers in numerous wine glasses. You haven't used those wine glasses since.

You walked over to the fridge and reached out to grasp the handle, you gulped again and slowly opened the fridge.

Nothing...No experiments were in the fridge.

'That's a first.' You thought in your head and searched the fridge for something to eat, you found leftover chinese food from a couple of nights ago

'It'll have to do, now lets hope there isn't any experiments in the microwave.' You walked over to the microwave with the leftover (FCF) in your hands. Thankfully there were no experiments in the microwave and you put the leftover (FCF) in a bowl and put it in the microwave for a few minutes. You leaned against the bunker and waited for the microwave to 'bing'. It eventually did and you grabbed a towel and wrapped the palms of your hands with it.

You reached in with the towel wrapped around hands and grabbed the steaming bowl of (FCF). You put the bowl on the down on the bunker to let it cool. You sighed and saw your phone laying on the floor. You opened the cutlery drawer and got a knife, fork and spoon and looked around for a lap-tray. You found one and put your bowl of (FCF) on your tray and went and sat down with your food on your lap. You quietly ate the (FCF), when you had finished it you put it down beside the armchair that you were sitting on. Sherlock had recently claimed this seat as 'his' and absolutely hated anyone that dare sat in 'his' chair. But since he was out on a case with John meant you got to sit in it while he was gone. You picked up your book and started to read again, losing track of time. 

TIMEY WIMEY TIME SKIP ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No-one's POV

The front door to 221B opened and in walked Sherlock with a exhausted looking John. They walked into the living-room to find (YN) sitting in 'Sherlock's' chair. An annoyed expression graced Sherlock's face. 

"Get out of my seat, (YN)." He growled 

"Hmmm... How about? No."  (YN)  smirked at him

"(YN)." He growled in annoyance

"Yes Sherlock." (YN)  looked up from her book.

"Get out of my seat, I am not in the mood for this." He growled louder

"Technically, Mrs Hudson bought the chair and I was the one who first sat in this chair which technically makes this chair mine." (YN) smirked wider

"Its too late for this, come on get out of MY seat." He ignored (YN)'s little proclamation, (YN) picked up her phone and decided to check the time since it probably wasn't that late.

"Sherlock, its not that late its onl-" (YN)'s eyes widened when she saw the time 

2:38am

"Okay, maybe its a tiny bit late but seriously I'm busy Sherlock."

"Busy doing what?"

"Ummm." (YN) looked down, Sherlock looked at her and waited for her to give him an answer. He noticed the book by her side

"Reading, That's why you couldn't come to with us, because you were reading! You were reading some probably stupid romantic novel instead of helping us on a case!" He grew frustrated, (YN) grew annoyed and threw the closest thing to her directly at Sherlock's head which so happened to be her book

"It is not a stupid romantic novel, it is a beautiful piece of literature!" She picked up her book of the floor and slouched back into the chair. Sherlock rubbed the area where the book hit him, John laughed lightly before he walked out of the living-room and to his room. Sherlock huffed and sat down on the sofa, crossing his arms over his chest like a child. (YN) sighed and went back to reading her book

Another Timey Wimey time skip ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were still sat there in the armchair with the same book in your hands, only five pages left until you had finished the book. But sleep was taking over you, your eye-lids were heavy. Your eyes were threatening to close, Sherlock noticed this and sighed. He stood up from the sofa and took the book from your hands

"Sheeeerlock! I was reading that!" You exclaimed but you yawned lightly while saying it

"(YN), you're tired and its easy to see that." He put the book on the table

"But I only have 5 pages left." You pouted your bottom lip out

"You can finish it in the morning." He looked at you, he sighed and flung you over his shoulder

"Sherlock! Put me down." You tiredly hit his back with weakly made fists

He ignored your pleads and carried you to your room, your eyes were slowly shutting and you rested your head on his shoulder, you snuggled close. He opened the door to your room and walked over to your bed. He laid you softly down on the bed, your head gently resting on one of the pillows. Sherlock slowly pulled the duvet covers over you, you wrapped yourself in the warm duvet covers. Sherlock was sat on the end of the bed, he sat up and laid his soft hand on your cheek. He rubbed his thumb over it which made you sigh. You nuzzled into his palm. He smiled lightly, he stood up again and walked over to the bedroom door, he switched off the light. Before he left the room he said

"Goodnight (YN) dear." He closed the door, you smiled when he said that. You sighed and fell asleep. You had a small smile on your face as you fell asleep.

Sherlock's POV

I closed the door behind me, I sighed lightly and walked back up to the living-room. When I reached the living-room I saw the armchair, I smiled at it. Instead of sitting in the armchair, I sat myself on the sofa and sighed. I saw (YN)'s book lying on the table, I picked it up and looked at it. I flicked through the pages and saw something on the page before the story starts, the page with the book title printed on it.

'This book belongs to (YN) (MN) (LN)

I smiled wider and traced my fingers over where the pen graced the page. I could still smell the ink on the page. I closed the book and put it back down on the table. I sighed and rested my head against the sofa. My eyes started to close, in my mind I heard (YN) say

"Goodnight Sherlock." My eyes fully closed, I sighed as I fell into a light, quiet slumber.
