*sherlocks POV*

"SHERLOCK!"

I wake up suddenly, my heart racing in my chest at the sudden shouting of Tom. My body fills with rage as he's disturbed my sleep... like he has for the past 3 nights. Ever since Tom has moved in, my life has been a living hell! No wonder why Eddie threw him out!

"WHAT IS IT TOM! I SWEAR TO GOD IF IT'S THE MILK..."

Tom opens the door to my bedroom, and I sit up violently on my bed, staring at Tom with squinted eyes. He is my best friend, but he annoys the hell out of me!

"It's not the bloody milk sherlock. John is video calling you on your laptop." I throw the covers off of my lanky body and I stand up, my legs cracking as I do so. I follow Tom into the living room, where the laptop is already open and waiting with John and Mary on the screen.

"Why were you on my laptop?" I question Tom, but he just scratches his head and points his hand towards the chair of the table. I scoff at him and do as he says - sitting down on the chair.

"Sherlock!" John and Mary chime when I come into their view. My body is wrapped in my bedsheets, but they don't question it, seeing as it's quite a normal thing for me to do. They are practically my parents.

"Hi guys. Why are you Calling?" I yawn and cuddle into my white bed sheets.

"Oooooo I guess straight to the point then. It looks like sherly has been woken up, you grumpy grotts!" I roll my eyes at Mary's cuckiness as she treats me like a child. The thought momentarily crosses my mind that Mary is in fact working with Jim, and that I'll need to ask her questions about it - for John's safety of course. It's not that I don't trust Jim, it's just, I like to be thorough and draw up my own conclusions. Besides, she could be the one after him...

"Well Sherlock, it's officially been decided..." John starts, and I feel Tom run into view of the camera too, obviously wanting to hear the news.

"WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!" Mary shouts through the Web cam, interrupting John, and showing off her ring to the camera. Tom cheers and screams, just like John and Mary are doing. I just sit there, in the middle of 3 idiots, my ears being violated by screams and cheers.

"Congratulations!" I say a little too unenthusiastically, crossing my arms. I've been expecting this for a while, so I don't understand why everyone is screaming about it. It's just marriage! A piece of paper! It doesn't mean anything!

"Oh come on Sherlock! Be happy for us! Tom obviously is!" Mary coos, hugging John and grinning like an idiot. I turn around on my chair to see Tom dancing behind me, swirling his hips and cheering. I roll my eyes, sighing, and turn my attention back to the screen.

"Oh don't mind him - he's an idiot." I flick my hand in front of my face, making it clear to the newly engaged couple to dismiss his actions. He's such an idiot. An embarrassing idiot who I want to kick out of my flat right now. John and Mary laugh at my comment, and Tom finally stops his ridiculous dancing.

"Hey! I'm not an idiot!" He whines, and I roll my eyes again as he's so oblivious to how truly annoying and idiotic he is.

"Well we should be going! We've got lots of arrangements to plan!" John bounces grinning, and I turn my attention to Mary.

"Yes... lots of 'arrangements'." I squint my eyes slightly at Mary and she furrows her eyes slightly. Perhaps she suspects that I know - she is very intelligent and observant after all. John terminates the video call and my screen goes black.

"Well I'll be damned! They're finally getting married! Hopefully I'm invited." Tom walks up behind me and rests his hand on my shoulder, contemplating about the new engagement.

"Of course you'll be invited Tom. I guess they really are getting married huh." I stand up from my chair and stare into space, thinking about all of the things that could go wrong at the wedding. Mary is working for Jim. Mary would therefore invite others involved with the plan. John will be surrounded by assassins. John is marrying an assassin.

Someone could die.

Hey guys. Another filler chapter again but the story is moving along swiftly!

Hope you guys enjoyed the update!
