Cold (Whiteson)

(John's POV: )

Alice was shivering quite badly. The wind was whipping her hair back and her coat was doing nothing to protect her from the wind and low temperature combined. Sherlock was oblivious to this fact, but I was painfully aware even though she on the opposite side of the detective. The detective himself was fine, his coat being much thicker and his scarf covering the lower half of his face. Alice wrapped her coat around herself tighter, trying to trap body heat and breathing into her clenched fists. Earlier I had given her an extra coat I brought, but it wasn't helping much.

I couldn't take it any longer. I abruptly got up and moved to the other side of the shivering female.

"What're you doing?" They asked simultaneously. I ignored Sherlock and sat down next to Alice.

"You're cold," I answered.

"She's fine," Sherlock scoffed. I gave him a look.

"I'm... f-fine," Alice insisted, trying to not stutter but her quivering jaw giving her away. Sherlock rolled his eyes.

"Come 'ere," I told her. She looked at me, confused. "Come here," I repeated, pointing to my lap.

"What?" She asked a bit loudly, her jaw still quaking.

"You're obviously freezing cold. Your coat isn't thick enough and the wind isn't helping," I explained, gesturing to the respective subjects. "If you sit in my lap then we can conserve more body heat," I continued. She hesitated before complying and moving back between my legs. I put the extra coat on top of us wrapped my arms around her and rested my chin on the top of her head. I could feel her shaking. I gently grabbed her hands and began rubbing them to get them warm. She nuzzled into me a bit and I sighed happily. Sherlock looked at us, raised his eyebrows and looked back ahead of himself. I felt Alice flip him off under the coat and I chuckled.

"Middle name's Scott, if you're looking for baby names," Sherlock mocked, copying what I had said to him and Irene Adler.

"I quite like that... Scott," I said with mock thoughtfulness. It was Alice's turn to chuckle as Sherlock looked horrified. I gave Alice a quick squeeze, and I noticed that she wasn't shivering anymore.

Just a little fluffiness I came up with a bit ago. Enjoy, vote, and comment fun peoples =)
