'Oh, please, John, you know how badly I want it!' I cried and looked at him almost begging, well, maybe I had already passed that point. John's look didn't change. 'Oh just teach her and be done with it!' Sherlock commanded him and I nodded happily and a little satisfied. 'I can't think with her talking so much!' Sherlock complained. He had his fingers at his temples and his eyes closed, there were long stripes noticeable on his forehead, something he sometimes had when he was very frustrated or deeply thinking. 'No,' John said and he put away his newspaper. 'this language is something for the army and the army only. It's way too serious to teach at random and you will never really need it, since you're, luckily, not in the army.' His voice was at bit higher at the end of his phrase and I saw Sherlock smirk a little. I sighted.
The door opened and we all looked at it. Mrs. Hudson came in and looked at us. 'Oh dear, am I interrupting?' She asked with her sweetvoice. 'Mrs. Hudson!' I said and stood up. 'Don't you think that John should teach me Morse Code? If I want it very, very badly?' I asked her. She seemed a bit shocked by my sudden attack but then she smiled at me and put the serving tray with smoking tea on the table. 'If a lady wants something very badly, a gentleman must always give her.' I smiled back at her and turned to John again. 'See?' I said and gave Mrs. Hudson a quick hug. I whispered a soft 'thank you' and let go of her to sit next to John. 'Please... It would make me very happy.' I tried.
John still didn't move. 'Than we can communicate in codes so Sherlock can't understand us.' Sherlock opened an eye and glared at me, 'If she stops talking.'' I heard John sigh. 'Fine, I'll teach you.' After an loud and annoyed 'finally!' of Sherlock I jumped up from happiness, but then I heard the word I had feared to hear. 'But... you must pay close attention to everything I say, everything. Understood?' I nodded and placed a kiss on his cheek. 'Yes sir. So, when do we start?' I asked. 'Now.'
***
So there we were. After a long day of learning and trying to get all the letters and rules in my heard we stood in the park in the cold night. The learning was fun, John was very patient with me and when I tried to spell a word with the code and made a mistake he laughed so we laughed together. Now we were outside at place with few light, around fifty meters away from each other, both with a flashlight in the hand. I was shaking from the cold and excitement. No one could actually explain my happiness but I was filled with delight. A single peep made me look at my phone. A text from John. "ready?" It said. "Ready." Almost immediately I saw a flash of light that made the sign of beginning. After that the first simple word.
.... .. which means hi.
I smiled and gave him a word back.
.... . .-.. .-.. --- which means hello.
I waited bit and the next words came. We 'talked' a lot about everything and anything and I think I kind of got it. After an hour or so he asked me if we could go home and I answered him a 'yes of course' by code. I wanted to stand up and go to him when I saw a light appear so I stayed where I was and tried to unravel the code.
.. a short break .-.. --- ...- . a break again -.-- --- ..-
I smiled, feeling me cheeks turn bright red as I found out what he coded: 'I love you.' I walked the meters towards him and hugged him tightly. 'Well done, I think you've got it now.' John said happily. 'A good teacher has good students.' I said and kissed him. We walked to our apartment where Sherlock was sitting behind the table with his chemistry set. He looked at us with his eyes glancing at our hands intertwined. 'How did it go?' He asked. 'Good, very good. She's an excellent student.' He said with a sweet smile. I smirked, wished both of them a good night and insisted that Sherlock should clean up the table tomorrow. Sherlock kept looking at both me and John as I kissed him and walked past Sherlock's table to go to my room.
A/N
I know it's kind of crappy this time but I hope you can forgive me. I just wanted to do something with morse code because I kind of know how to use it and am so proud! Did Ilearn it because of John? Well, yes, he was the main reason...
Also, I wanted to have a little bit of Johnlock in my stories since I love them so much, Sherlolly is also nice, so is Sheriarty, but Johnlock is the best in my opinion. Again, sorry for this part but I still hope you liked it. The next part will be about Sherlock (as usual) and I hope it will be a better one... Anyway, thank you so much for reading I really appreciate it and please comment and vote, and request if you want to! I love you all! Thanks for sticking around with me!
Catch you later!
