there was a knock on the door and mocha started barking, getting up and running to the door. john got up and went over to the door, opening it and seeing sherlock standing at the door. he moved to the side and let sherlock in then shut the door. "you look mad." john said as he walked back into the living room.

"well yeah," sherlock said as he messed around with mocha. "you left." he said and sat on the floor, tossing the tennis ball and watching mocha chase after it.

"i told you i was and you said it was fine." john said and looked at sherlock. "you were just deep in your conversation with molly and i knew i wasn't going to be a part of it, so lets not fight about this."

sherlock nodded. "prom is in seven hours." he said as he wrestled mocha for the tennis ball.

"i know." john said. "now come here so i can cuddle you because you're only here for another day." he demanded as he stretched out on the couch.

sherlock smiled and got up, toeing his shoes off as he walked over to john, laying in front of him. john wrapped a protective arm around him, holding him close as he kissed the back of his neck. they laid there until the heard the garage door open, then they both sat up.

around five is when they started to get ready for the dance. sherlock had to iron his tux a bit because it got wrinkly in his suit case and marie was not having sherlock wear a wrinkly tux. once it was iorned, sherlock was finally able to get ready, throwing their schedule off. they were late to park for photos, which made everyone mad because they all had plans and had to put them back a little.

"finally!" greg sighed as he saw sherlock and john walked over to them. "have a good shag?" he asked the couple teasingly.

"shut it, greg." john said to him. "remember what i said?" he asked him softly.

greg gulped and nodded. "yes."

"good," john grinned and patted him on the shoulder, getting in place next to him. he pulled sherlock next to him and wrapped and arm around his waist. "smile, love."

sherlock sighed and gave a weak smile for the pictures, thankful the group pictures were over very quickly and everyone left. "when do we get to leave?" sherlock asked john.

"we still have our pictures to take." john said and pulled him over to the gazebo. "and if you actually smile for them, we can go early."

"oh, alright." sherlock whined.

after the pictures, they left for dinner. they met up with molly and her date and ate at the place they were. then after that, they left for the dance. it was in a ball room at some hotel, and after a fee minutes, sherlock was done with it. john was having the time of his life though. he was dancing with his mates while sherlock sat at their table, toying with his napkin. after maybe thirty minutes john came over and sat next to sherlock.

"we can go, if you want." john said as he wiped the sweat off him with the napkin.

"no, no. i'm fine. and you're enjoying yourself quiet a lot." sherlock said and smiled, handing john his glass of punch.

john took it. "we can really go if you want. i know you're not enjoying yourself and my fun ended when  anderson came over to the group." he said the downed the punch.

"anderson is quiet the party pooper."

john chuckled softly then turned his chair and faced sherlock, putting a hand on his knee. "we don't have to stay here. we can go and do something else."

"what else is there to do? this town is a load of shit." sherlock muttered as he leaned back in his chair, looking at john.

john smiled helplessly at the boy. "we could go to the front desk and rent a room." john suggested. "raid the vending machines and rent movies."

"i don't think they'll let us."

"why not?"

"were at prom. people are leaving to go have sex. and i'm pretty sure the school told the hotel not to rent rooms to any body in tuxedos or ball gowns." he said.

"but, we have cell phones." john said and stood up. "come on." he said and held a hand out for sherlock

sherlock took his hand and stood up, then got pulled by john out to the corridor. john was smiling like and idiot as he took out his phone, dialing the hotel's number. "hello, i would like a room for the night." "yes, yes, my son is at the prom and he is offly drunk and i don't want him to drive home." "i'm sure you come from the same side then." "yes of course!" "alright, thank you." he said then hung up, grinning as he tucked his phone into the pocket inside his blazer.

"you're an idiot," sherlock laughed.

"nope. just a genius." john grinned and grabbed sherlock's hand again. he pulled him out to the lobby and told him to stand by the elevators while he got the key. after a few minutes john came back grinning from ear to ear, holding a key card to a room. "pure genius." he said to sherlock as he pushed the elevator button.

"okay, pure genius, how'd you pay for the night?" sherlock asked.

"the money sean gave me."

"he gave you enough to get a room here?" sherlock asked. he stepped into the elevator as the doors opened, john walking in with him.

"yes, he did. he thought we were going some where fancy for dinner."

"little did he know, they went to mcdonalds." sherlock said in a narrator voice, getting a laugh from john.

when they got up to the room, both of them shedded their tuxs, leaving them only in their boxers as they climbed into the bed. they used sherlock's credit card to rent movies off the tv, then john put a robe on and went to the vending machines, getting all the snacks he could carry before going back to the room. he dumped the snacks on the bed then took the robe off, getting in bed with sherlock again. he sat up while sherlock laid his head in john's lap, both of them watching whatever movie they rented as they ate the snacks.

after maybe two hours, john's phone started ringing, but he ignored it then put it on do not disturb. he pushed all the empty wrappers and bags off the bed then laid down with sherlock, letting him lay his head on his chest while he played with the curls. after the movie was over, sherlock looked up at john and smiled.

"hello." john smiled back and gave sherlock a kiss.

sherlock's smile dropped and he looked at john with a serious face. "do you want to have sex?" he asked.

john's face went serious as he sat up, looking at sherlock. "i mean, it would be nice, but you're a virgin and all." he said, scratching the back of his neck.

"does it really matter about losing your virginity?" sherlock. "i honestly don't care about losing it to some one i love or some shit like that." he said then looked into his lap. "if you don't want to have sex with me that's fine, i don't care, but i just wanted to know."

john turned sherlock around and cupped his cheeks, kissing him deeply. "of course i want to have sex with you." he said softly, pecking his lips again. "i just want you to be sure."

sherlock nodded. "i am sure." he said and kissed john back.

john pulled away after a few seconds and got off the bed, going to the pile of clothes and starting to get dressed again.

"where are you going?" sherlock asked, thinking john was leaving.

"we need condoms, and lube." john said as he buttoned up his shirt again. he noticed the expression on sherlock's face and went over to him, kissing him again for reasurance. "i'm not leaving, i'll be back in twenty. tops." he said and smiled down at the boy.

"alright." sherlock said and smiled timidly up at him.

john kissed sherlock's forehead then grabbed his phone and wallet, heading out of the room. sherlock practically flopped off the bed as he dove for his phone, grabbing it then calling molly.

"hey! what happened to you and john?" she asked the second she answered. the background noise was loud and sherlock could barely hear her.

"molly, go some where quiet." sherlock said.

"mmm kay." she said. sherlock could hear her pushing through the people, excusing herself. "i'm in the loo. what's up?" she asked, slightly drunk.

"john and i got a hotel room and he left to go get condoms."

"holy shit!" molly exclaimed. "sherlock this is big." she laughed drunkily.

"i know." sherlock said a sighed. "i'm not too sure about it now."

"but you want it, right?" molly asked. sherlock could hear some other girls stumble into the loo then heared molly groan slightly, then the click of a lock on a stall. "some girls are in here."

"i can hear their drunk giggles." sherlock responded. "molly, i don't know what to do."

"well," molly blew out a stream of air as she thought. "you know how to kiss, so just kiss him. let him do the other stuff."

"what if i don't like it?"

"stop freaking yourself out!" molly said with a small laugh. "john is respectable, he will stop if you tell him to. he will be fine if you change your mind."

"thanks, molly." sherlock said and smiled to himself.

"not a problem lovebug." she said. "now go get some of that dick!" she cheered on.

"molly!" sherlock squeaked.

"i'm hanging up now." molly said then hung up quickly.

sherlock sighed and stood up, getting on the bed again. him and john were about to have sex. it's fine. they both want this.

john walked up to the chasier, getting an odd look from her as she rung his items up; a box of condoms and a jar of vasiline since he couldn't find any regualr lube. john could tell she was judging him and he got bothered by it.

"yes, i'm about to go have sex with my boyfriend." he said harshly. "and i'd appriciate it if you stopped judging me for it." he said then paid the total, grabbing his bag then walking out quickly.

he ran to the elevators so the people at the front desk wouldn't see him, then went up to the room. sherlock's eyes met his the seconded he opened the door. "i got the... stuff." john said and held the bag up slightly, closing the door.

"i've never done this before." sherlock stated, watching john toe off his shoes then set the bag on the edge of the bed.

"i know." john said as he started to unbutton his shirt again. he could see the worry in sherlock's face and he smiled comfortly at him. "it's fine, love." he said and cupped sherlock's cheeks, tilting his head up a bit more. "i'll go slow and you can back out any time you want."

sherlock put a hand over john's, leaning up and kissing him.

john kissed back, shrugging off his button down shirt, then laying sherlock back onto the bed, running a hand down his bare side gently, feeling the goosebumps form. he smiled against the kiss and slipped a finger under the hem of his boxers, tugging them down a bit.
