Prologue

The day's sweltering heat had taken the energy out of both Sherlock and Irene. However Sherlock knew this was no excuse for Irene's unusual behavior, he had already deduced she was attempting to hide something from him, this was made clear by her inability to maintain eye contact.

"What is it? Stop trying to hide things from me. You know who I am; it won't work." Sherlock said exasparatedly.

"You know I do not enjoy keeping secrets from you, but this is one thing I would appreciate if you would allow me to keep this to myself." Irene hesitated, expecting the worst as Sherlock cast his icy glare upon her.

"Your not a - are you?" He asked, almost failing to believe his own observations.

Irene nodded solemnly "Yes Sherlock, I am."

His suspicions confirmed, Sherlock ran home with Irene pleading him to stop behind him. On the way silently vowing never to open his heart to anybody again. The many years of childhood he had spent with Irene had been forgotten. Deleted.

A/N: This fic will be about the childhood of Sherlock and Irene and as they got their separate ways right until Reichenbach this prologue is set on their last day of Secondary School when they are 16. I am truly sorry about this story it is pretty horrendous, although I will continue to write if requested. Please review with your opinion. Chapters will be longer in future.

Thank you. :-)
