The night was growing old and John's patience was wearing thin as Sherlock rushed around, on the brink of losing it. He took a deep sigh and stood up.

"Well I'm going to bed," He concluded, looking at Sherlock. "You should too."

"No. Staying awake until news."

"There won't be any news until midday at the earliest and besides, it's unfair keeping Evanna up."

Evanna looked up hearing her name. "I... I'm fine, by the way."

"Sherlock I am not putting up with you when you don't sleep again."

"I don't need sleep."

"Well, last time you passed out on top of a cab and I had to pull you inside so I guess you do."

Soon both Sherlock and Evanna got changed and she suddenly felt paranoid. Would it be worth taking her makeup off? She didn't really want to be seen without it; as a one off she decided to keep it on and then take it off only to reapply it the next morning. Keeping in mind what he'd said earlier about her smelling nice she subtly sprayed herself with perfume too.

Sherlock returned in his pyjamas, which was a strange sight. Usually he was smartly dressed and seeing him like this was almost laughable. He still looked attractive though and Evanna felt like it was unfair.

"This is the second time I'm staying over here," Evanna smirked, looking around. "Bit of a different context isn't it?"

"I heard you crying yourself to sleep last time." Sherlock looked over, and then down at his feet. "Sorry."

"It's fine."

"No it's not."

She sighed deeply. "Can we not do this?"

"Sorry. And I'm just double checking... you're not... expecting anything tonight, are you?"

"Um, no."

"Good, John thought that inviting you over to stay the night must lead you to think that we are going to engage in some form of intercourse."

"Oh, no, I don't really... yeah. Couldn't you tell that anyway?"

"John claims to know more about women than I do."

"Fair enough."

"Do you want to get into bed then?"

"Okay. It's a bit early, but okay."

"I doubt you'll get much sleep anyway. Sorry about this."

"I really don't mind."

"I know, just being polite."

"Are you a gentleman now?"

"Indeed." He lifted up the duvet for her and she climbed in, before he slid in from the other side. Sherlock kissed her on the forehead before rolling over and they lay with their backs nearly touching each other. "Try not to make too much noise."

"Why would I make noise?"

"Snoring, nightmares, the usual."

Evanna laughed. "I can reassure you I only snore when I've got a cold, and I probably won't have nightmares."

"Good. Sorry if I wake you up I'm going to try and think as well. Just in case anything hits me."

"It's fine."

"Don't get makeup all over my pillow cases either, I won't be happy."

"I won't. Hairspray."

"What?"

"Hairspray, you hairspray your face and it stops your makeup from coming off."

"Oh. Thanks for the tip."

"You're welcome."

"I think I'd have to break up with you if you ruined my pillows."

"Pillows are serious business for me too."

"This is quite nice actually."

"What is?"

"Sharing a bed with you." He shuffled backwards into her so their spines touched. "You're warm."

"Thank you?"

"You're welcome. It's like having a personal hot water bottle who is also great to help me think."

"I do pride myself in my body heat."

"You should."

There was silence for a few minutes and they both lay still. Sherlock's brain couldn't quite think straight and he broke the silence.

"Sorry to be a bother, but-"

"-no really it's fine. I was waiting for you to say something I was starting to feel awkward."

"Would you mind if I..."

"If you..."

"Held you?" He started to get a bit nervous. "Just to, just to see if that helps me think or anything, if you don't mind... well you don't mind but I'm trying to be polite I'm being a gentleman this is boring you have no say in the matter I do what I want I am superior here and I am going to hold you now."

"Ookay then."

Sherlock moved over and enveloped his arms around her. She felt warm and he rather liked it, though he wouldn't admit it. He held her closer and smirked to himself.

If anything, it would be a distraction but Evanna didn't need to know that.

Sorry if you were expecting something decent. I'm working on the next chapter and I'm not sure when I'll get round to finishing it and because I love you guys more than most people love their families I felt like you deserved and update, so there you go, something short and fluffy to keep you going until I next update. Though it seems like a filler there was a little thing in there that might come back later in the story so I guess leaving this part out would end up being confusing. It was a bit OOC but oh well. Be grateful! I'll try and finish the next chapter though I mean apart from wandering around the house like a burrito I don't really do much. I really am going to try and update more, pinky promise. I love you guys, MASSIVE SHOUTOUT to AlfieTimewolf, like really I had 36 minutes to wait for a bus and I was having a really rough day and then I read your review and I went all smiley and shit. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much it meant to me! And to the rest of you too! Reviews would be nice even though this wasn't really a chapter just a filler involving cuddles but yanno, I like to see if it's still generating interest. I'm gonna shut up and drink some more coffee now, I'll hopefully see you guys soon.
