"I'm home!" Bella called out as she took off her jacket and placed it over her chair.

Sherlock came out of the kitchen with an excited look on his face as he quickly hugged her. She had gotten use to this and hugged him back just as quickly. Ever since she had told him that it was ok to hug her a week ago, he would hug her every morning before she went to work and every evening when she got back. At first he would sort of nervously walk up to her and ask like a shy little kid would, but now he was back to his old confident non-caring self and didn't bother to ask anymore.

"Great news! There was a triple homicide with a murder's calling from two other crime scenes." He said as he grabbed Bella's coat and forced her to put it back on. "Let's go, it's happened behind Speedy's Sandwich Bar and Cafe."

"What! But that's all the way across town!" She bellowed as Sherlock pushed her out the door.

"So, we can take a taxi."

"The roads have been blocked for the past three days while construction is being done on the road. It will take us all night!" She said back at him while he started to push her down the sidewalk until she finally got him to let go and she started to walk beside him.

"Then we will have to take the tube."

About a third of the way there, Sherlock noticed that a lot of the couples were cuddling next each other to keep warm from the winter cold. Sure the tube had heaters but with the doors constantly opening and closing at each stop, they didn't help much.

Sherlock turned to look at Bella and saw that her arms were crossed and her collar was popped up to stave off the cold. He saw her shiver as the doors opened and let a huge gust of cold air come in but she didn't say anything about her being cold. He considered doing the same as the many couples there were doing but thought against it considering that they weren't a couple and that she might feel awkward about doing that.

After awhile later, the doors opened again and another gust of wind came through the room, making Bella visibly shiver once more and still she said nothing.

He finally decided that she was too cold to be caring if she felt awkward or not. He wasn't going to let her get sick because of him.

Snuggling is just like a long hug right? He thought to himself as he slowly and carefully put his arm around her.

She stiffened at first at having an arm around her but relaxed when she realized that is was just Sherlock. Bella looked up at him with a grateful smile when she figured out what he was doing and wrapped her arms around his waist to snuggle in closer. In return, Sherlock held her tighter to him, liking that he could hug his best and only friend again without it being akward like he first thought it would be. They stayed like that for the rest of the ride to the crime scene.

I suck at writing the ending for these chapters. I think so at least. I feel like they end so suddenly. Anyways! This chapter was for snuggling! I think the next one might be holding hands and this story will eventually lead to love and…some other things….

FunFact: If you go on googlmaps and type in the name of the cafe that used and click street veiw for 'A', you should see a little cafe and flat area in london that looks like Sherlock's and John's flat!
