A/N: So of all the random things ever, I reffed a "Rock, Paper, Scissors" Tournament sponsored by Amp (energy drink) at a bar last night. Cool thing about being a ref? Cheap liquor and free amp! Down side? Wayyy too much Amp! I was wide awake for hours and hours last night so I wrote this. :-) Enjoy!

"I was serious you know."

The voice came seemingly from nowhere at first. Then he could smell her, but not immediately see her. Holmes had been tinkering absent-mindedly with his violin when Irene Adler's voice interrupted him. Ah, there she was! Tucked in the alcove between the bookshelves.

"And what statement does your seriousness apply to?" Holmes questioned casually as he moved toward the alcove that concealed her. He futilely tried to deny acknowledging his own pleasure at her presence.

"If we trusted each other. Then we could be together Sherlock. We could travel the world in the most consistently interesting company any companion could ask for." Irene replied. Holmes approached the alcove then and found Irene's finger over his lips before he could retort.

"Before you respond I want you to remember that kiss," Irene whispered as she softly pressed her warm mouth against his. She smiled lightly against him as she felt his movements increase in urgency. Her victory was short-lived though when she felt him pull back.

"I seem to recall you drugging me immediately after suggesting I trust you!" Holmes mocked coldly. She almost broke him completely last time and he would never be in that position again. As it was, the feel of her perfect lips against his would haunt him for months to come. No, he was Sherlock Holmes and this just wasn't acceptable. The most genius detective in existence came with an ego that rivals genius.

The wall of ice that immediately separated them as he spoke left Irene momentarily paralyzed as he walked past her with purpose.

"Sherlock," Irene said softly, causing Holmes to stop in his tracks. But not to turn around.

"This is how I figured you would feel and I understand. We do have quite a history! When I told you that you would miss me, I meant it. Furthermore, I highly suspect you did. However, it pales in comparison to how much I've missed you." Irene paused to let Holmes absorb the new info.

"When I realized this I knew immediately that there would be no point in acknowledging my feelings if there was no reconcile this annoying trust issue." She smiled at Holmes and winked slyly as she finished.

"What exactly are you proposing Ms. Adler?" Holmes questioned warily.

"We're too old for these games Sherlock. The name is Irene," Adler began slowly. "And what I'm saying is that I have a plan."

A/N: This was fun to write, I'm a sucker for fluff! :-) Hope you guys like it and I almost have the 7th chapter of "Case Reopened" up! Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Reviewing!!
