Chapter Text
The house phone in library rang, you had Sherlock had been reading fantastic tales about pirates, you hopped off the couch and answered the phone.
"Hello?" You heard the familiar voices of your parents and smiled widely. "Hi mummy and dad!"
Sherlock watched as your smile slowly fade away, you just sighed softly before faking a little smile, and felt a little bad for you. Seems your parents were always canceling plans for you guys to have family time together.
"Bye, love you too...be safe." You said to your parents over the house phone before hanging up. "That's just peachy."
"Parents staying away longer." Sherlock stated as you laid on the floor, staring at the cieling with a frown, and sat next to you. "What are you going to do?"
"Like every time I'm out of school, I practically live with strangers at this point." You rolled so you were laying on your stomach and puffed your cheeks out. "I guess I'll have to just stay at my house alone, so nothing different than normal."
"Well they are highly successful adults." He shrugged as you looked at him with a pout before rolling his eyes at you. "Why don't you stay here? Mummy already enjoys having you around and we could pretend we're pirates."
"I like the sound of that!" You smiled slightly before pushing yourself into a sitting position. "Let's go ask her if that's alright."
Sherlock hopped off the couch with you in tow, hurrying down the large hallways in search of Mrs. Holmes. You both were practically attached at the hip despite your differences.
"You sure she'll be fine with me staying here?" You nervously wring your hands as you followed the slightly taller boy. "What if she isn't?"
"Oh hush, you know mummy enjoys you being here." Sherlock couldn't help but snort a little bit as you both continued to look for his mother. "I don't know what I'm going to do with you."
"I don't want to impose on her," You were slightly flustered as you followed the raven haired boy, but smiled slightly when he held your hand. "Love me as long as possible?"
It wasn't unusual for you both to hold hands or any other form of affection. That's just how you both were, it felt right to you.
"Don't be ridiculous, you're not imposing on anyone." He rolled his eyes again and gave your hand a gentle squeeze. "Always, we're friends and friends love each other."
"Alright," You knew better than to argue with Sherlock Holmes, it was pointless in fact. "I'm glad."
You just smiled slightly as you both continued to look for his mother, it took a little bit but you guys managed to find her. You just watched as Sherlock explained the situation, his mother smiling before informing you that it was fine if you stayed over.
After that you and Sherlock hurried off to his room, getting out his pirate stuff, and having a grand adventure.
Soon the day was over, both you and Sherlock were tired from all the playing/adventuring that had been done, and found yourselves in bed happily sleeping.
You both cuddling up to each other in your sleep, smiling softly as you guys dreamed of being grand pirates and sailing the seven seas.
