Enter Password

„Oh John... Changed your password again?"

„Well, don't want to get you too bored between cases!" John smiled indulgently at Sherlock who sat on their sofa, frowning at John's laptop screen.

For the next few minutes, nothing could be heard save the cluttering of the dishes John was doing in the kitchen and the occasional typing when Sherlock tried another combination.

John was just storing away the last plate when the typing ceased and he heard a sharp intake of breath coming from his partner. Gingerly he walked towards the detective who sat on the sofa and was blinking stupidly at the keyboard.

„*********************" Enter. The laptop unlocked.

He locked the screen again and typed anew, a disbelieving expression on his face.

„*********************" Enter. The laptop unlocked again. More blinking.

John finally took a deep breath and stepped towards Sherlock. Sinking to his knees, he carefully took the laptop from Sherlock's knees and finally caught the taller man's eyes.

„John. You- you..." Sherlock started blinking again and shook his head to clear his thoughts. „You changed your password to ‚SherlockPleaseMarryMe' ?"

„Will you?"

„I... You are serious? Are you sure?"

John nodded, swallowing around the lump in his throat.

„Yes... YES! Of course I will! John!" Sherlock pulled his Doctor up into a passionate kiss. When they parted for air, the detective pulled John to his chest and whispered „John, you are brilliant."
