I just thought this was a cute little thing to add to the story! Other then that, enjoy and review!


He was lying on the couch with his hands covering his eyes, Alexander easily forgotten somewhere else at the moment. After Bella left for work, his head got worse and worse until finally, he had a splitting headache to where he couldn't do anything. He heard the door open and prayed that it was not Mrs. Hudson. She was a dear and kind lady but she sure could talk too much and it would only make his problem worse.

"What's wrong?" Bella asked as she closed the door behind her and placed her things down.

"Headache." He mumbled.

"Did you take anything for it?"

"Nothing is working."

"Here take these." She said as she pulled out a small bottle from her bag and handed it to him. She walked into the kitchen to get him a glass of water and when she walked over to the sink, she found their strange pet under water staring saddly at her. She sighed with a sad smile on her face at seeing the poor neglected creature. She filled a cup up with water and walked back into the living room.

After Sherlock took the pills she gave him, he lied back down in the same fashion. She looked at him for a moment, feeling sorry for him having such a bad headache. A memory from when she was little popped into her head and she got an idea.

"Move for a second." She said as she motioned for him to sit up.

"What are you doing?" He asked as he sat up. She sat down on the couch and motioned for him to lay down again in her lap. He rested his head back down and felt her hands slowly comb through his hair.

"My mum use to do this for me when I had a headache." She finally explained. He didn't complain. He just moved to lay on his side and closed his eyes. As she sat there, combing through his hair, she thought back on everything that had been going on in the last two months; the hugging, the cuddling, the holding hands, and he never admited to it but she saw that he had eaten the chocolates from Mrs. Hudson. She found it very sweet of him.

Sherlock enjoyed the attention that he was getting from Bella. It felt good to have her hands run through his hair. He would have been purring if he was a cat. His mother was always so busy and never did anything like this for him. He snuggled closer to her, long since getting over worrying if she would be uncomfortable. He felt even closer to her like this. His mind was starting to go blank, which was rare enough in it's self, and he slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Bella looked down to see that Sherlock had fallen asleep and wondered how she was going to get out of this little situation. It wouldn't be good if Mrs. Hudson came in right now. The woman already thought they were a couple, she didn't need to give her 'evidence'. They would never hear the end of it.

She sat there for quite awhile, still running her fingers through his hair, trying to find a way to get up without waking the man in her lap. Her eyes started feel heavy and slowly she followed him into the sleeping world.

Mrs. Hudson opened the door to Sherlock and Bella's flat to tell them about a nice man she met in her resturant down stairs but completely forgot about that at the sight in front of her. A smile came to her face seeing Sherlock's head in Bella's lap with her head lulled off to the side and Alexander happily sleeping on Sherlock's stomach. She gently patted the little creature on the head and quietly walking out the room, promising herself that she would bring this up later.
