Sherlock Holmes - The Only One That Wouldn't Numb My Mind

"(M/N), I'm bored."

I sighed. Heaven forbid the mighty intellectual Sherlock be bored. Then again, last time he was bored he did shoot through the walls. Scaring poor Mrs. Hutson half to death.

I folded my paper down looking towards Sherlock who shuffled in his chair. His mind was obviously racing. It was as he's said, "a rocket tearing itself apart."

"And what would you like me to do about it Sherlock?" I asked a sarcastic smile gracing my features. Sherlock and I have been good friends for a few years now. Just before he met his- dear friend John Watson. I was about to go back to my paper when he threw a harpoon just past my head.

"Are you trying to give me and Mrs. Hutson a heart attack!?" I yelled.

"Bored." He droned. I rolled my eyes and looked back to my paper. No new murders or crimes for old Sherlock, but that'd have to wait.

"I need a case." He sighed. I sighed but then chuckled, folding my paper away and folding my hands in front of me.
I uncrossed my legs and propped myself on my elbows resting my chin upon my fingers, and smiled to Sherlock in a mocking way.

"And what would you like me to do about it? Commit a murder myself?" I asked. Obviously I was being sarcastic. But Sherlocks mind was so starved for a case the thought it over.

"Hardly. A murder committed by you? I'd solve it in ten minutes flat. Ten point three five if you had any help." He trailed. I gave a joyless chuckle.

"I see. So whatever else could you possibly what to do Sherlock?" I asked again.

"Cluedo?"

"Sherlock, John and I have told you a dozen times! The victim can't commit the crime! It's simply against the rules!" I chuckled.

"Well the rules are wrong." He argued. I just sighed and stood.

"But." He started.

"But what Mr. Holmes?" I asked, sarcasm dripping my voice once again. I walked to the mantel and leaned against it. Crossing my ankles in an attempt to look model-like for Sherlock. Even though he hardly cared. I turned the skull slightly as so it faced completely Eastward, not Northeast at 2°. Johns still trying his best to hide Sherlocks 'reserve cigarettes' but, I know Sherlock must know they're there. The slightly off direction of the skull was evident. Sherlock and I both face it East 0° each time we move it.

I heard Sherlock mumble something under his breath. Barely audible, but none the less heard.

"I'm sorry what was that?"

"Date."

I cocked a brow.

"Date?"

"Yes, date. John and Mrs. Hutson say they are quiet a bit of fun. Not that they would really know my definition of 'fun.' But it's worth a shot. And... Well, I don't know of anyone I could go on one with. At least not anyone who wouldn't numb my mind; my dear, (M/N)." He said looking up at me. My face slackened.
Was he actually asking me? (M/N) (L/N) on a date? I clamped my mouth shut and thought a moment.

"I know you fancy me (M/N). It's quite obvious. I can tell because of-"

"Yes, yes, Sherlock, you're right. But I would have never thought of the; Amazing Awe-Inspiring Sherlock Holmes, to ever propose little ol' me a date. You are correct. I do fancy you, and I know you've known for quite some time I've just been waiting for you to point it out in some; rude show off fashion." I paused and walked over to Sherlock. I pressed two fingers to his neck, counting the pulse beneath my breath as I looked into those endearing blue-green eyes, as they dilated.

I let a sly smirk grow across my features as I stood running a hand through my (messy, tidy, etc) (h/c) locks.

I sat in my previous spot in the chair across from him. He furrowed his brows slightly as I crossed one of my legs over the other, placing my hands on my kneecap. I smiled solving my little ten second case I could have solved many times before. But today was the day is finally solve it.

"And it seems; you fancy me as well Mr, Sherlock Holmes."

He gave me a smile as well.

"Like I said. The only one who wouldn't numb my mind."

A/N hello I hope you all enjoyed that little smart reader; quick one-shot. There wasn't much "romance" per-say, but- I don't know I'd maybe do a part two for this later on. But I do hope you enjoyed the little chapter I wrote you all. Please send me some requests for who you would like to see next.

Thank you loves!
