Chapter 23

Sherlocks Pov

This was not what I expected. Silence. And crying. Lots of crying. Especially John. But his tears look... Happy.

"Sherlock Holmes. I should have known you were planning something when you were planning this party" John said. I think I just looked dazed a confused. I slowly blinked because I didn't know what to say. I hadn't prepared for no answer.

Blink.

Blink blink.

I think I blinked 6 times before my eyes started to water. He was going to say no. I should have known. Great. Now I'm crying.

"Fuck!" I exclaimed loudly pulling on my hair "I should have known you wouldn't want to marry me" I cried. I cried and cried before everyone started laughing.

"What? Am I so humiliating that you have to laugh?" I said, my voice shaky with tears.

"No love" I felt Johns soothing hand on my back. "We are laughing cause you actually thought I would say no. The genius ends up being stupid" John winked. My tears of sorrow quickly turned into tears of joy as I pulled john into a quick but passionate kiss. Everyone began cheering and drinking as john and kept kissing. We soon pulled away and took our seats. Except I pulled John to sit in my lap cause you know, we are engaged. This is now socially acceptable.

After a while of excited chatter, Mycroft and Greg stood up and drunkly stumbled to each other.

"Weeelllllll...." Greg slurred. (He may have had 5-10 drinks to many) "since we all are making happy announcements, I guess we should tell you,"

"I'm DATING DI Lestrade and y'aalllllll are jealous" Mycroft interrupted. He was so very drunk. Apparently drunker then I thought cause he began snogging Greg in front of everyone. Needless to say it was a very interesting night.

Last night was somewhat of a blur. The sight in front of me now was even more interesting. Mrs Hudson had left, Molly was passed out on the couch, Greg and Mycroft we snuggling on the floor and I am cuddled up in sherlocks lap. Something happened with sherlock last night.

Sherlock.

Sheeeerrrrlock.

SHERlock

Fiancée.

Oh yaaa. He proposed to me last night. I couldn't help but beam a huge smile at the thought. While deep in thought I didn't realize sherlock had woken up and was now watching me with a grand smile on his face.

John was beautiful. Absolutely stunningly beautiful. He is and forever will be the love of my life.

"Awe thanks love, you will always be the love of my life too. And yes I know you didn't mean to say that out loud" John said with a wink as a blush furiously climbed up my neck to my cheeks.

"Just because I didn't mean to say it aloud doesn't mean I don't mean it" I said and began kissing him. We pulled away when we heard a rustling coming from the ground.

"What happened" Greg's hoarse voice materialized in the silence.

"Well Lestrade," I said with a smirk "John and I are engaged and you an my brother dear seem to be dating. Then you began snogging on my carpet"

"Shit!" Greg said loud enough to wake up Mycroft. "Myc, it seems that we were more drunk then we thought last night"

"Aw yes, it appears that way" Mycroft said, very hungover. "Well this just got awkward... I'm gonna go to work" Mycroft and Greg both got up and left, Greg almost tumbling down the stairs on the way out.

That just made life 100% better , and I could tell by the look on johns face that he agreed.
