Chapter 7

John looked into the mirror , happy with what he saw . He had been working out and had gained all the muscle back that he had lost when Sherlock left . He looked ...good. The bags under his eyes had gone and his skin was brighter .

Sherlock hadn't left the flat in a fortnight . He was working on and experiment that apparently needed constant attention . They had been together nearly a month now , and only Lestrade and Mycroft knew . John had convinced Sherlock to leave the flat and come with him because tonight was the night they would tell their close friends and Johns parents . 

They were to go out to lunch with Johns mum and dad , he had to tell them he was gay , was in a relationship with a man , and he didn't know how , but if Harry could do it , so could he .

After the lunch ,they were going to go to the pub with Mike ,Molly , Lestrade and Mycroft and a few of John's army buddies . He was nervous but he knew his friends would accept him , but his parents ? They didn't speak to Harry for weeks after she told them . 

" Sherlock ?"

Sherlock poked his head in the door . 

" What ?"

" Do you have any other clothes than suits , you know , I mean , not many people wear a suit to the pub and..."

Sherlock looked at John curiously , John knew he didn't really care about al of that .

" Ok , excuses aren't working . Sherlock . W hat do you look like in jeans ?"

Sherlock chuckled , he got it .

" All right , all right , i'll wear Jeans , but you have to wear a t-shirt , not a jumper "

John looked longingly at his oatmeal jumper , but the sight of Sherlock in a pair of jeans was more tempting . 

John sighed , " fine "

Sherlock walked off and John could hear him giggleing on his way downstairs . Bloody man child . 

John picked out a pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt quickly and pulled them on .

Sherlock spent a while trying to find his jeans and slipped them on , they still fit perfectly .

Johns shirt was quite tight but it didn't look bad .

Sherlock pulled on a black t-shirt  .

John put on some black leather boots.

Sherlock wore a pair of well worn shoes . 

They both came out of their rooms at the same time , and said in unison 

" You look great "

Then they just started giggleing , John walked down the stairs and pulled Sherlock in for a kiss , 

" We've got an hour before we have to meet my parents "

" good "

Sherlock said nothing more , just pushed John against the wall and crashed his mouth against Johns .  

Mrs Hudson chose just that moment to walk in . John pulled away from Sherlock and turned towards the shocked Mrs Hudson , Sherlock just pouted and threw himself dramatically onto the sofa .

" emmmm...hi Mrs Hudson "

Mrs Hudsons face broke into a large grin , 

" I'm glad you two are finally together , it was meant to happen ... plus , your Mycroft owes me money now " she said with a wink to Sherlock and walked out .
