You And I Against The World

Chapter 3: Theatrical Dodgeball

*Sherlock's POV*

My heart is going berserk. Oh my god we're kissing, this is amazing. AHHHHHH! I'm so happy! I could stay like this forever, but we had to get to class before anyone noticed we were missing. Jim must of thought the exact same thing because he broke the kiss and smiled up at me.

"We should get to class, Sherly."

"Agreed."

We both joined our class who had already started running laps to warm themselves up. We joined in and after ten minutes of running the teacher announced the sport we were going to be playing.

"Right you little eejits, we're going to be playing dodgeball!"

I could here people celebrating and making their teams whilst I just stood there waiting for everyone to be done until I get dragged into a random team. After about 7 minutes they were all done making teams, they seemed quite equal in strength, but then again I don't know how good Jim is at dodgeball, we are on the same side, I wonder if I'll have to carry my team again?

The game started and 2 people on my team and 1 on the other side had already been hit. I grab a ball and throw one at Miles and then Jim gets one and throws it at Charles. I can see him laughing his arse off and I joined in, we high five and two people on our team get downed so we start concentrating again.

Jim and I were the only two left on our team and there were still 5 on the other side. We could hear our team yelling at us to shoot, they weren't very encouraging I must say and I'm sure that Jim felt the exact same way. We could also here the other group's teammates encouraging them and saying that there was only two of us left and that it was going to be easy.
Jim and I startigically threw our balls to the players on the other team, they now had all five balls and we could hear our team yelling at us as if we were dumb... those fucking idiots.
And as we expected, they threw all five balls at once. I was prepared to sacrifice myself so that only one of us would get hit and the other could kill the others off one by one, winning us the game. But instead, Jim grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him and threw us both into a spot where they didn't throw the balls.

Now I'm blushing, and he saw it. He looks down at me with a smirk and lustful eyes, I can feel everyone looking at us, I swear that i even heard some childish 'Oooo's.

"How about we end this Sherly." He whispers into my ear and I just nod, a large grin appearing on both of our faces.

We grab a ball each, aim at someone, fire. There was only one person left, and one ball on our side. I grab the ball, aim, fire. I see the ball hit the guy and I hear cheering from my team and it sounds like I just won the world cup or the Olympics. Jim comes running to me and hugs me. Followed by John. And then being surrounded by my hole team cheering "Sherlock! Moriarty! Sherlock! Moriarty!".

It felt really awkward, but Jim made me feel alright. I just wanted to kiss him.

"Right, Sherlock and James are obviously very good players so we will have them in different teams, Miles, switch teams with Moriarty." The teacher says.

Shit. I don't want to be in the same team as Miles! And poor Jim needs to be in the same team as Charles, I'll make sure to target him.

"Don't worry I'll target him too." Jim whispered into my ear and I couldn't stop myself from doing it, I kissed him, only on his cheek though, but it definitely drew attention to the both of us.
But I don't think that I'm all to blame for all of the attention because I only kissed his cheek but he then decided to give me a proper kiss on my lips! It only lasted about 2 secondes but way to get people gossiping!

The next match started and as promised, we both targeted Charles and Miles and they were gone in a matter of seconds. The amount of people on our teams was going down quite quickly, both of us were throwing and dodging balls like pros. Until we were the last two standing. The gym fell dead silent. It was the final showdown.

"Well, well, well. Here we are. It's just you and me now Sherly!" His voice echoed through the gym and it gave me shivers, he's acting like a psychopath and I love it!

"Seems so. I guess this great game of ours is coming to an end! I just wonder who's going to win..."

After a couple of seconds just staring at eachother, we start throwing balls but we never hit our shot or get hit, our battle lasts another ten minutes before we start trying to intimidate eachother and distract one other.

"No one ever beats me. And no one ever will."

"I will."

"You've come the closest. Now you're in my way."

"Thank you."

"Didn't mean it as a complement."

"Yes you did."

"Yeah okay I did. But the flirting's over Sherlock, Daddy's had enough now~" Wait what!? Daddy!? Oh now you've gone and used feelings against me you little prick! You're not getting me that easily though...
"So take this as a friendly warning. My dear..."

. . .

"Back off."

His voice echoed through the gym and his eyes were cold and deadly. I loved everything about him right now, the way he just said two words and he shook fear into everyone listening, including the teacher. Not me, I'm just in love with this side of him, as I am with every other side of him. I've just never seen this one before and it's exciting!

"Although I have loved this, this little game of ours... It needs to end."

"Trying to be intimidating are we?"

"What can I say? It seems to be working... On every but you." He replies smirking his iconic smirk.

"Okay, if we're going to be role playing, I might as well join in..." I smile thinking of the dumbest thing that I could possibly say right now. And I start laughing as I find the perfect sentence, I calm down a bit and say the best line ever for this dodgeball quarrel.
"People have died."

"That's what people DO!"

The room fell silent, even more than before. His scream still echoing through the big gym. People's eyes were wide open, some were even taking videos of the entire thing. And me, I was just entranced by the pure and utter joy I was feeling right now.

"I will stop you."

"No you won't!" His voice was soft and happy but he looked serious yet playful. I'm just so in love with this man.
"Do you know what happens if you don't leave me alone Sherlock, to you?"

"Oh let me guess, I get 'killed'."

"Kill you? Mh, no, don't be obvious, I mean I'm gonna kill you anyway someday. I don't wanna rush it though. I'm saving it for something special. No no no no no. If you don't stop prying. I will burn you...
I will burn... the heart out of you."

"I have been reliably informed that I don't have one."

"But we both know that's not quite true..."

"What if I were to shoot you right now?"

"Well then you could cherish the look of surprise on my face." He says pulling a mocking surprised face. "Cause I'd be surprised Sherlock. Really, I would. And just a teensy bit... Disappointed." There was a moment of silence between us. "And of course, you wouldn't be able to cherish it for very long."

We stand there staring at eachother for what seems like forever, our little show seemed to of really hit our classmates. We probably shouldn't have done it in the second hour of the school day then huh...
I walk forwards and Jim does the same, both of us smiling, ball in hand. We stop a couple of inches away from eachother, Jim and I take the balls in our hands and press them into each other's chest at the same time, making the game a tie, and leaving it with a confused, and scared crowd.
