''Y/N?'' you heard a familiar voice, waking you up from the trance.

When you turned around, you saw Thomas standing there in front of you, disappointment and sadness in his baby blue eyes.

''Thomas? What are you doing here?'' you asked, approaching him.

''I was invited here. I didn't know that you had... someone else'' he said, gesturing to Sherlock

''Oh, no. He just invited me here. We are not a thing and you know it'' you said, breaking Sherlock's heart.

''Oh, well, I hope Mr Holmes wouldn't mind if I'd steal you for a dance'' Thomas said, cheering up a little.

Holmes looked between you and Thomas for a while, then smiled.

''Not at all'' he said and reluctantly let go of your hand.

Thomas nodded and took your hand, walking away. You looked back at Holmes, who sadly winked at you, and stuffed his hands in his pockets, before turning on his heels and leave.

When you saw him leaving, you felt your heart break.

You and Thomas began to dance, but, when you looked in his eyes, you didn't feel the same attraction you felt with Holmes, you didn't see any passion in his eyes, and he isn't looking at you with the same gorgeous brown eyes. The dance felt so wrong and uncomfortable.

Sadness overtook you, and you looked away from Thomas, gazing at the floor.

Thomas stopped dancing, and left go of hand.

''Go''you heard him saying, and you look at him in astonishment.

''Wha-What?''

''Go after him. You think I didn't see the way you are looking at him? He likes you, dare say loves you. Just remember I will be waiting for you until you come back to me''

''Really?'' you asked, still not believing 

''Just go'' he said and you leaned closer to kiss his cheek.

He nodded at you, and you smiled, and took off running to Watson.

''Watson, where's Holmes?'' you asked once you reached their table.

''He went home. But why?'' he replied

''No time, Watson'' you said and ran outside, jumping in the hansom and driving home.

TIMESKIP.

You hopped out of the hansom and walked up the stairs, opening the 221B's door. You closed the door and entered on the hall, hung your coat, then walked in the kitchen.

You opened the door and found Nanny sitting at the table, reading.

''Nanny, have you seen Sherlock?"

''In the living room'' she replied, turning another page of her book.

You walked in the living room, and saw Holmes on the threshold, begging to walk to his room.

''Holmes, wait'' you said, making him stop.

''Y/N? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Thomas?'' he asked

''Yes, but he helped me understand something. And I really need to tell you'' you began.

''I love you too'' he smiled, and you felt your heart beating x 100 times faster.

''You already knew'' you smiled.

''What can I say? After all, I am the greatest detective in the world'' he said, pulling you closer towards him.

You looked up, and realized that the mistletoe was hanging above your heads.

''Well, I guess we're left in quite the predicament'' he chuckled and you cupped his cheeks, while his hands traveled to the small of your back, pulling you closer.

The two of you leaned closer, and you closed the gap between the two of you, his lips met yours, kissing you with passion, a fiery intensity, something you never felt before. You kissed him back and pushed his head towards yours, to deepen the kiss. It felt like the fire that burnt in your beings finally met, making the both of you melt under it. No sooner that it had begun, you had to break the kiss because of your lungs screaming for air. You took a deep breath, before he kissed you again, and your hands went in his hair, tugging at it a little. You hummed in the kiss, and his hands found their way to your waist, pushing you into him, his grip being a little mean.

The two of you broke the kiss, and you leaned foreheads together, smiling and heavy breathing.

''Bravo! Bravo! Finally!'' you heard a voice, and the two of you turned around.

When you did, you saw Mycroft clapping proudly for hid brother, Watson and Mary laughing and Nanny smiling, the four of them looking at the two of you.

''You saw... everything?" you asked, blushing crimson

''Absolutely everything'' Watson smirked

''Oh good lord'' you said and hid your face in Sherlock's chest.

''Come on, let's leave them alone'' Nanny said and they left for the kitchen.

After they left, you looked up at him, and he smiled and shrugged.

Later that night...

You and Sherlock were on the couch, both wrapped in a blanket.  It was so warm and comfortable, so peaceful. You leaned your head on his chest, and he kissed the top of your head.

The two of you fell asleep in the warm embrace of each other, holding tight.

The end.
