Chapter 11: The Double Date

Each student had a specific time for their individual lab exam and Sherlock's was on the first day. This was one of the most important finals for both of us since we were science majors. So Sherlock was in his mind palace basically all week. So I was left to twiddle my thumbs and study as well. That's what I was doing well Sherlock was in his exam, until the door was slammed open by an angry Mycroft followed by a sobbing Molly.
"What the hell!?" I exclaimed before jumping up and rushing to Molly.
"What's wrong?" I said wrapping my arms around her, "Mycroft how did you get in here the door was locked?"
"I have a master key to get into all the dorms. Where is Sherlock?"
"You what? Um he's in his lab exam, why? What's going on?"
Molly began to sob harder into my shoulder. I hated when people cried. Whenever it happened I had no choice but to comfort the person.
"She called me on her way here. Apparently her and Sherlock had an argument about a week ago and he hasn't returned any of her messages since."
"Molly, Molly, listen to me, he has been in his mind palace all week! He hasn't moved until today when he left to take the exam. He was ignoring everyone, not just you."
I thought about that statement for a moment, the man we loved was kind of an asshole.
"Really? He's been in his mind palace all week?"
"Yes, all week, so you can stop crying."
Mycroft looked around uncomfortably as Molly hugged me "Well it seems like you have this under control John. Goodbye."
Mycroft left, shutting the door behind him. 
"What was your fight about?"
"He's just been so distant lately! We hardly ever talk, only text and even then it's like he's somewhere else." She began to cry viciously again. "John, I think he's cheating on me!"
My eyes grew to the size of my face. "What! No! Of course not! He would never! That's crazy!"
Molly looked at me questionable through her tear soaked eyes.
"I spend everyday with Sherlock if he was seeing someone else I would know, and I can tell you that he is definitely not seeing another... women."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive!"
As Molly began to calm down so did I.
Then the door opened, and a familiar baritone voice flowed into the room.
"I dominated that test John and now I'm going to do the same-Molly! Hello!"
"Sherlock!" Molly screamed in my ear as she jumped up and flung herself onto my boyfriend. Sherlock laughed nervously "Molly sweetheart what are you doing here?"
"I came to make sure you still loved me and weren't having an affair!"
"You what!?"
Molly continued to hug Sherlock tight "Don't worry John he cleared everything up!"
I stood awkwardly apart from the couple but I could see Sherlock's confused expression as Molly said this.
"Darling why don't you go clean yourself up and I'll take you out to dinner and we can talk."
"Ok" she said letting going of Sherlock and wiping off her residual mascara, before leaving for the bathroom down the hall.
"What did you say?" Sherlock asked as soon as the door shut.
"I just said you didn't have another women in your life."
Sherlock chuckled "Well you didn't lie." He walked over closer to me "Thank you for taking care of her again."
"Your welcome."
He kissed be sweetly, but within seconds the kiss turned into a hungry make-out session.
"I killed that exam!" He said into my lips,
"We will have to celebrate."
I pulled on his hair making him moan with pleasure. "Molly is right down the hall."
Sherlock pulled back and shot me a smug look.
"Way to kill the mood."

Molly came back into the room, with her makeup done and her hair fixed. "You boys aren't ready yet?" she said in shock at the sight of Sherlock in jeans and an undershirt and me laying on the floor throwing a football against the wall.
"What do you mean boys, John isn't going."
"Of course he is! Apparently you've been ignoring him all week as well so he needs some social time."
Sherlock shot me a look as I caught the ball "John said I've been ignoring him all week?"
"Yes he did! So get dressed both of you!"
"Molly I'm really ok staying in."
"But John I have a surprise for you!"
I furrowed me eyebrows and sat up "What?"
"Well remember I was telling you about my friend Mary? Well I was to emotional to drive myself up so she drove me! She's been hanging out with Greg well I got things sorted, but now we are all gonna go on a double date!"
"What?!" Sherlock exclaimed. "I don't think that's a good idea Molly."
"To bad she's already getting ready, so get up you two and get dressed. I'm going to go help her." Molly left and I began to stand up.
"John what are you doing?"
"Getting ready, like Molly said to."
"You're not going. Sit back down."
"But Mary-"
"I don't care. I'm not going to watch you on a date with someone else."
"It's not a date, just a friendly dinner."
"That's not what Molly said."
"Yes, Molly. That's right, your girlfriend."
"But see I'm not attracted to Molly because I'm gay. You are bi and could very well be attracted to Mary."
"I won't be. And since your girlfriend is making me go on the outing, any argument of yours is invalid."
Sherlock glared at me as I started to get ready.
