I Believe In Sherlock Holmes

Explaining To John

Mel's POV
I have to explain to John. So I sat across from him and next to Sherlock. I took my coat off and put it over the back of my chair. Sherlock looked at me like I was crazy but then he noticed that I had covered it up with makeup. I sat down and looked at John.
"Okay." I said taking a really deep breath. "When I say that me and Sherlock are together, I mean that Sherlock is my *cough* boyfriend and that I am Sherlock's *cough* girlfriend. And I hope that you can accept that." When I looked at his face I saw shock and betrayal. But I also saw happiness and excitement. So you could say that he was sending mixed messages.
"Uh, okay." He said closing his eyes.
"John are you okay?" Sherlock asked him.
"Don't talk. He's counting to ten." I told him, then turned back to John.
"He seems to be counting to one hundred." He said back.
"I'm counting to ten over and over again." John said suddenly opining his eyes.
"Oh."
"So let me get this straight. You two are... together?" He asked.
"Yes." We answered.
"Okay. I can accept that." He said slowly.
I smiled and went to get something to eat.
John's POV
Oh my god! Sherlock and my bloody sister!! How the hell did that happen? Oh well as long as Sherlock doesn't hurt her and she's happy, then I am reluctantly fine with it. Mel got up to get something to eat. I turned my head to Sherlock and stared at him.
"You hurt her and you're dead Sherlock." I told him deadly serious.
"I know and I won't hurt her John. I promise." He told me back.
Mel came back over while she was waiting for her food.
"What are you two talking about?" She asked grinning while she sat back down.
"Oh nothing, just about how I accept that you and Sherlock are together." I said smiling.
She beamed at this and looked at Sherlock then back at me.
"Really?" She asked.
"Of course. As long as you're happy." I smiled at her as I said this, this made her even more happy.
"Miss Watson your chips are ready." The lady called out to her.
Mel walked back up to the counter and payed the lady and said thank you and came back with her chips. She sat back down and started to eat.
"So John Sherlock told me you have a girlfriend."
"Oh did he now?"
"Yep." She said popping the 'p'.
"Oh well her name is Gianna." *AN-I know that he didn't have a girlfriend named that I just needed one that he didn't have for latter in the story.*
"Gianna. That's a nice name. Do you love her?" She asked a small smile on her face.
"Of course I do. Why?"
"Just wondering."
Mel's POV
He over reacted when he found out about me and Sherlock kissing. So I was proving that people shouldn't over react when it's not their right. I smiled at the thought of me and Sherlock. I could tell that he was getting bored without a case to keep him occupied, I hope he finds one soon and a good one.
Once I finished eating we made our way back to the flat. While we were in the cab I thought once or twice about holding Sherlock's hand, but I knew it might embarrass him so I thought against it. Until Sherlock's hand met with mine and took it in his. I looked to him and smiled and he smiled back.
Sherlock's POV
I knew that she wanted to hold my hand. It was easy to tell, she kept fiddling with her hands as if hinting to me that she wanted to. She then sat her hand next to her. I grabbed it and she looked at me and smiled at me, and I smiled back. She looked back outside the window staring into oblivion. Explaining to John wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. I need a case, I mean I thought that telling John that me and his sister are together would be funny. I know that I love Mel, and I don't want her to get hurt again like she did last time so if I do get a case I'm just going to leave her at home.
