Nemesis

Chapter 16

Recap

Sherlock's eyes widened. "John!! You are a genius!!!!" Sherlock hugged John tightly and smiled. "You are the best kind of friend I could ask for."

"Sherlock.." John hugged him back. "Cmon we still have time to pick out a ring."

-------------------------------------------
Jim

Today was the day. Jim was going to ask today. Jim was so nervous. He wanted to do this at the pool where Jim and Sherlock officially met, but when Sherlock said he had planned a date for them...Jim decided he would go with it.

Sherlock had told him to dress up, so naturally he chose his best Westwood suit, he had to look his best! Luckily Sherlock had gone out with John for the day, which gave Jim plenty of time to ready himself.

Around six, Jim received a text from his beloved. Sherlock was in a cab outside waiting for him. Jim started to head down the stairs as John was coming up.

"Oh John! How do I look?" Jim posed at the top of the stairs and grinned.

"Isn't that what you wore the first time you two officially met?"

"Indeed it is Johnny boy."

"He will love it. Really. Now get going before he gets bored." John chuckled and let Jim pass him on the stairs.

Jim paused at the bottom of the stairs and looked back. "John..?"

"Yeah?"

"Do...do you think Sherlock and I could ever get married?"

John's eyes widened slightly at that, and he cleared his throat. "Jim I've known Sherlock for a long time now... And it he were to get married, he would definitely marry you."

Jim smiled softly and nodded. It was almost time.

-------------------------------------------
Sherlock

It was nearly impossible to keep his eyes to himself in the cab. Jim, much like Sherlock, was wearing the same thing he wore at their first real encounter.

Sherlock kept telling himself not to be nervous too, but that was seeming to be impossible too. The closer they got to their destination the more anxiety Sherlock started to feel.

What if he says no?

What if he doesn't really love me?

Am I being too pushy?

"Sherlock?" Jim held his hand. "Are you alright?"

Sherlock nodded. "I hope you like this. I wanted it to be really special."

"Everything is special with you Sherly." Jim laughed and gently kissed Sherlock's cheek. "But I am curious... Where are you taking me?"

"You'll know soon enough." Was all sherlock said.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Jim seemed to realize where they were going about five minutes before they even got there. Sherlock by now had thought up his whole little speech, but he also felt sick to his stomach. He knew it was from being nervous and that he should try to calm down but with Jim right next to him, smiling and holding his hand... It was like Sherlock was putting his life at risk.

The cab slowed to a stop and Sherlock paid the man. Jim and Sherlock got out and started walking inside.

"The pool Huh?" Jim asked.

"Is that okay?" Sherlock looked down at Jim and smiled nervously.

"It's perfect." Jim smiled back.

------------------------------------------
Jim

When Jim walked into the pool room, he wasn't expecting balloons or soft music or streamers. He definitely wasn't expecting Sherlock to pull him closer and start slow dancing with him before explaining all the decorations.

"Sherlock what is all this?" Jim looked up at the stunning blue green eyes he had come to love.

"It's Uh...its part of the surprise." Sherlock rested his forehead against Jim's.

"What surprise?"

"Well, I've been thinking, about us."

"Have you now?" Jim blushed. "What about us?"

"Well I feel like together, we are unstoppable and that without you my life would be exceptionally boring, which is why... Well.." Sherlock kneeled down and pulled a small box from his back pocket. "Would you marry me Jim Moriarty?"

Jim went silent for a long time, causing sherlock to stand up, he looked heart broken.

"Is it too soon? I should have waited.. Im so-"

"Sherlock shut up. I was going to propose to you tonight. You ruined my plan." Jim laughed and grabbed Sherlock's hands and kissed him. "Of course I want to marry you. You're my one and only Sherly and it's going to stay that way."

Sherlock had no words left to say, so they kissed.

And oh what a kiss it was.
