It was the 20th of August , 12 days to the wedding . John leaned over and woke Sherlock up . 

" Sherlock , Sherlock wake up we're getting our suits fitted today "

Sherlock moved his face further into the pillow .

" Pirate " John heard him mumble. 

" No Sherlock , not pirate , suit "

Sherlock turned over and frowned at John ,  " It's my wedding too " .

John sighed , " If I let you get baggy pirate sleeves , and you promise to wear a jacket for the ceremony , will you get up ?"

Sherlock smiled and kissed John on the nose , " Of course Doctor "

" Tie or Bow tie "

Sherlock grimaced , " neither "

" Bow tie it is then" John said with a laugh . Sherlock glared once again.

" What? Bow ties are cool "

" Stop quoting the doctor , doctor"

Johns eyes widened , " you remember that, watching Dr Who with me ? 3 years ago? "

" John , I've never ever deleted a peice of information about you"

" Oh really? Favourite colour ?"

" Red"

" Favourite food?"

" Strawberry Jam"

" Favourite musician "

" I was hoping me " Sherlock turned to John with a smirk and John laughed .

They arrived at the tailors , and John led Sherlock , and Mrs Hudson , who insisted on coming , inside . 

They went to the counter ,  Sherlock dinged the bell and a blonde haired woman with a name tag that said Miranda on it  came in. 

" Hello , i'm Miranda , how may I help you ?"

" We have a fitting booked today ?" John said looking at his fiance curiously, Sherlock seemed captivated by the bell . 

" Ah , what name ?"

" Watson -Holmes " John said and smiled .

" Ok , come this way " she said and smiled . John had to pull Sherlock away from the bell. 

" I didn't know you we're attracted to shiny objects, i'll have to get you a polished peice of glass and hang it in your cage next to the plastic mirror " John muttered into Sherlocks ear. 

"John listen, when I say duck , duck "

" Wha-"

" Duck !"

John ducked down onto the floor as a man with a needle toppled over the top of him , attacked by Sherlock . "Miranda" ran out of the shop as quickly as possible. They disarmed him quickly and John knocked him out . Mrs Hudson just stood there horrified .

" What the hell just happened ?" John said , breathless. 

" I noticed the womans name tag, just applied , sloppily and quickly, she wasn't wearing the standard uniform for this shop , she didn't work here , also there is a woman tied up in the back . Recently , people have been robbing shops and also , kidnapping customers . The bell hadn't been there for long , the rest of the place was covered in dust , the bell was clean but not well used , recently put there as a signal for when a customer was in the shop to get ready for attack"

John suddenly burst out laughing, and soon after Sherlock joined in ,

" Thank god you're you Sher , oh thank god " John leaned back against the wall and Sherlock did aswell , and they realised it was like the night they first met . They smiled at eachother until they heard a cough from Mrs Hudson.

" Boys , if you can stop the bloody insane romance for one moment , there is a woman tied up in the back of the shop"

" Ah yes , i'll go...." John pointed to the back of the shop, " call Lestrade Sherlock "

John went into the back to see a terrified ,barely concious, brunette woman , in a shop uniform  tied to a chair. He got her out and checked her over , she had a serious blow to the head  . Once John had gotten her fully concious and out of  the back room, Lestrade had arrived. 

" Sherlock whats going on?"

" Serial kidnappers , took over the shop , concealing a man to attack customers . Actual shopkeeper was behind there " Sherlock said pointing to the counter . 

" Sherlock , what have I told you about going off on cases without notifying the authorities ?"

" We weren't , we're supposed to be getting our suits ..." John said whilst helping the real Miranda recover . 

" Oh, ok then , well thanks for calling us , it was this guy yeah?"

Lestrade said pointing towards the man on the floor. 

" Obviously " 

Miranda insisted she was fine and offered John and Sherlock a free suit each as a thank you for saving her life . Sherlock insisted on baggy sleeves and John rolled his eyes , then John insisted on bow ties for both , and Sherlock rolled his . By the end of the day they were both happy with what they had to wear , and walked out of the shop even more excited for the day.

Back in the flat John updated his blog , telling people about todays escopade , receiving a comment off Maude.

Sherlock and shiny objects really wouldn't go down well , he'd set fire to something for an "experiment".

 John smiled at the comment , whilst listening to Sherlock play a ridiculous peice on his violin. It wasn't even the music that was ridiculous , it was the faces he was pulling , John tried his hardest not to laugh but eventually he couldn't keep it in anymore and burst out laughing at Sherlock , who just smirked and continued playing in a relativley normal fashion , despite the fact he was upside down off the back of the sofa ....
