Sherlock: The Mix-Up

A knock came to the door of your flat. Must be the crew, you thought to yourself. You opened it up and there they were - Sherlock, John, Lestrade, and sadly, Donovan and Anderson. You smiled sweetly at them (yes even the last two) and motioned for them to come in. Sherlock, however, was glued to the spot, staring you up and down like you were some mythical creature. John huffed impatiently and pushed past him, smiling sweetly at you and commenting,

"You look very nice tonight (y/n). Also, thank you for letting us use your flat for the case."

"Thank you John, and of course." The others shuffled in behind him until only Sherlock was left, still standing in the doorway.

"Why are you so," he paused, taking in your appearance again, "dressed up?" he sputtered out. You looked down at your outfit - a tight black dress and heels. 

"Well I'm-"

"Who is that?" asked Sherlock angrily. He darted into the flat, and you turned around to find him nose to nose with Jake. Sherlock towered a couple inches over Jake, and look down at him menacingly. "Who are you?" he asked again, his eyebrows scrunching together in anger and his hair flopping around. Jake opened his mouth to speak , but Sherlock cut him off. "Actually I don't even care. Just get out of here before Lestrade over there arrests you." At the mention of his name, Lestrade looked up, white powder coating the corners of his mouth from the donuts he had been munching on.

"Yeah, I'm sure he will," replied Jake cheekily. He was smirking at Lestrade, and Lestrade smiled back, as if greeting an old friend. Sherlock squinted his eyes at Jake, not appreciating his sarcastic attitude. Meanwhile you were off to the side, laughing inwardly at the whole situation, and waiting to see how far it would go.

"I don't think you want to use that tone with me," threatened Sherlock, his voice growing deeper and darker. "I've killed a man."

"So have I," chuckled Jake. "It's called a video game." Donovan and Anderson chuckled, and Sherlock  glared at them, his jaw clenching. You liked this protective, jealous side of Sherlock, but you knew it was getting out of hand.

"Sherlock," you said, putting your hand gently on his arm, "stop." He turned to you, eyes suddenly a dark blue.

"(Y/n)," he said, voice breaking, "how could you?" At that point you realized it really had gone too far. He thought you were cheating on him? Despite his sociopathic tendencies, he had dug himself a place deep into your heart in the short amount of time you had known him.

You started laughing.

"Sherlock, this is Jake, my twin brother." His face exploded into a shade of tomato red. He straightened out his suit nervously, then rolled back his shoulders into a perfect posture. He attempted to smile kindly, but the grimace was rough, and it looked more like he was in pain.

"Nice to meet you," Sherlock mustered, trying to sound as nice as he could. Jake also broke into a fit of laughter at the detective, then turned to you, still laughing.

"I like him. Ready to go?" You nodded happily - it meant a lot that your brother approved, especially after this first rough encounter. "It was nice meeting you," said Jake, nodding to everyone. As he walked past Sherlock, he gave him a goofy smile and rubbed his head jokingly, messing up his hair.

"You know, I have killed actually killed a man." At that, Jake removed his hand and apologized, heading quickly out the door. Sherlock smirked triumphantly, kissed you on the cheek, and wished you on your way.
