Chapter Ten: <3

Awesome book jacket by @Abyss-Of-Crazy

-

Sherlock was sulking. He was sat there, pushing the food he'd ordered around the plate with a fork and he had a pout of his lips. The only reply he'd give to anyone were small grunts. He even just grunted at Jim which shocked Molly and John to the point they exchanged worried looks with each other.

Jim hums at the exchange and vows that he will get the boy to cheer up.

"Hey, Sherlock, how much of London have you seen?" Jim asks, poking the boy's cheek and grinning at him.

Sherlock's eyes move to Jim and he blushes. "Not much..." He mumbles and shrugs.

"I should take you out for the day, show you the sights and all that."

Sherlock splutters, obviously shocked up the suggestions. His eyes are wide and he opens and closes his mouth a number of times before he asks. "Like... Like a date?"

Jim shrugs and gives a small chuckle. "Sure, why not?"

"Oh my God... You... How can you so casually agree?! You're Jim Moriarty!" Sherlock gasps as he say the other boy's name, as if it were only just registering in his brain that this is Jim Moriarty, he crush of the past few years, that was sitting beside him.

"Oh, am I meant to hesitate and decide whether you're worthy of my company?" Jim teases. Sherlock nods, completely serious. Jim laughs again but plays along. "All right. Uh, Sherlock... Hmm... I don't know. I mean I am Jim Moriarty, beloved by many and king of universe... I suppose, just to give you the pleasure of being able to brag about going on a date with the James Moriarty, I will agree to it being a date. Just make sure you walk a metre behind me so people don't think we're together."

Sherlock laughs, sulky aura gone. "Sorry, sorry. I can't just wipe away a few years worth of idolising you."

Instead of replying, Jim just reaches out and ruffles Sherlock's hair.

Victor gasps from across the table and leans forward. "Oh my God. Molly, John, holy shit, did you see that?! Sherlock.. Oh my fucking God.. Sherlock just let someone that isn't me ruffle his hair! I have officially been replaced. I'm going to go cry myself to sleep tonight!" He wails dramatically, making Sherlock, John and Molly laugh. Jim seemed a bit confused as to whether he was genuinely upset or not. "Sherlock! I thought we had something special."

Sherlock shrugs and looks at Jim as he speaks. "Sorry, Victor, Jim's just too sexy."

Jim laughs and flips imaginary long hair over his shoulder. Everyone chuckles, the mood a lot brighter ow one corner wasn't all gloomy thanks to Sherlock's sulking.

"Wait.." Victor says a few moments later. "Are you famous?" He asks Jim.

Sebastian snorts. "Famous for being a fairy."

"My best friend is my biggest hater. How sad is that?" Jim sniffs, pouting.

Victor raises an eyebrow and so Sherlock jumps in to explain. "Jim is a YouTuber and I'm obsessed with him."

"In the creepy smell-his-underwear way or the cute has-a-crush-on way?"

"Both." John answers before Sherlock can.

Sherlock glares and blushes brightly, ducking his head to try and hide it. Once again, they all laugh but this time Jim puts his arm around Sherlock shoulders and pulls the curled haired boy slightly towards himself.

"Hey, Sherlock, do you remember when you were lining up to see Seb and you were calling me perfect and beautiful while gushing over my accent and I was right behind you?"

Sherlock blushes brighter than before (how was that even possible?) and pinches Jim's side while hiding his face in his chest. Jim jumps at the pinch but laughs anyway.

The conversation eventually drifts from Sherlock's obvious crush on the boy he's currently cuddled against. His blush goes too but Sherlock decides to stay with his face pressed into Jim's shirt. If anyone accused him of smelling Jim than he would deny it without hesitation but everyone would probably know that Sherlock totally being a creepy little fanboy and smelling him.

Sherlock feels something brush the top of his head and he looks up with a small confused smile.

"Did.. Did you just kiss my head?" He questions in a small voice.

Jim smiles down at him and gives a small nod. Then Sherlock's blushing again and uses it as an excuse to stuff his face into Jim's shirt again.

Sherlock was rather disappointed when the time came for them all to part ways. The YouTuber's head back to the hotel but Jim makes sure to give Sherlock a heart attack before he leaves, kissing his cheek and whispering 'see you tomorrow' in his ear. Sebastian and John exchange a bro hug as well before they all part.

"Where are you staying, Victor?" John asks as they start walking.

"Well, I could go back to mine or I could stalk you lot." He shrugs.

"Stalk us." Sherlock, Molly and John reply at roughly the same time.

They all exchange smiles before they head back. They had to rather sneaky about the way got Victor up to the room. Unfortunately, they weren't in a hotel like Jim's where they'd overlook an extra person staying in the booked room. They managed to successfully get him past the woman sat behind the check in but she was much more interested in her magazine and probably didn't care anyway. 

They rented a movie and used the microwave to pop some popcorn. They melt butter on the two bowls of popcorn before settling on the two beds. Molly and John on one and Sherlock and Victor on the other. Each bed had a bowl of popcorn each and Victor had chosen to sit with Sherlock specifically because he knew that Sherlock didn't eat as much popcorn as John and Molly (although he said it was because Sherlock was the best to cuddle - which might have been true as well but it was mainly the popcorn thing). 

Half way through the movie, John's phone is launched at Sherlock's head and like the amazing friends they are, they all laugh at him as he grumbles and rubs his head, picking up the phone to see what was there. 

It was a message from Sebastian. It consisted of a phone number and the words 'give this to Sherlock before Jim crawls my face off because he realised that he one again forget to get his number.' 

Sherlock blushes and growls when Victor pokes his cheek. 

"Woah, calm down, tiger." 

"Tigers are boring. I'm just a bad-ass unicorn." Sherlock replies, poking his tongue out as Victor as he puts the number in his phone.

"Sounds like the perfect love story," Molly comments. "The Famous Fairy and the Unattractive Unicorn."

"Hey! I said bas-ass!"

"Yeah but my description used alliteration!" She resorts.

"Screw your allitera—" This time a pillow comes flying towards Sherlock, cutting him off.

"Shh." John hushes. "I'm watching a movie."

Sherlock throws the pillow back and ignores them all, sending a text to Jim instead.
