Sherlock and John had started to hold hands a lot now, since their conversation at dinner with their family. They found that they both liked it a lot.

While Sherlock and John were sat eating dinner together their hands would entwine between them and they'd sometimes make patterns on each other's hands.

It had been three days since they had been boyfriends and it was a Monday morning and they were both walking hand in hand to school with their daddies, Mycroft and Harry. They had grown so used to happily walking around holding onto each other contently that they strolled into the playground and all the way into class.

The class put their coats on the pegs and sat on the carpet for the morning register.

Sherlock and John never failed to sit in the corner at the back, a bit squashed by the other children, but content to be next to their best friend, and now boyfriend.

Sherlock reached out and John grabbed his hand and they lay it between them.

As children at the age of five do, Sherlock and John shuffled around on the uncomfortable ground until they found a comfy way to sit. They both sat cross-legged with their knees touching and their hands resting between them and on their knees.

"Sherlock Holmes." Mrs Smith called out, looking up as she got to his name on the register.

"Good morning, Mrs Smith." Sherlock said.

"Now there's no need to hold John's hand in class, dear." Mrs Smith said. She had no problem with it, children were children, but she often said this to the girls, finding when people held onto each other it could cause others not to be able to walk carefully through them to get out of the bundle of children.

"But I want to hold John's hand." Sherlock frowned.

"Yes, but not in class." Mrs Smith said firmly.

"But it isn't in the rule book." John commented.

"Will you two stop misbehaving? I am your teacher and you will do as I say." Mrs Smith raised her voice.

"John and me are boyfriends now, that makes it extra important that we hold hands." Sherlock said seriously.

The class started to whisper, but Mrs Smith soon calmed them down.

"Look, boys, just let go and stop being silly." Mrs Smith instructed.

"I don't like you very much." Sherlock said.

"Well, I'd like you to go to the headmaster's office, Sherlock. It isn't nice to say things like that." Mrs Smith said.

"It's the truth!" Sherlock said and stood up, letting go of John's hand.

But John stood anyway as Sherlock went out of the classroom.

"I don't think you're very nice, Mrs Smith." John began to walk out of the classroom.

"John Watson, you come back in here now. Class is important! I will not have you both at the headmaster's door." Mrs Smith began to stand.

"Sherlock is more important to me." John said and ran out of the classroom, quickly catching up with Sherlock and grabbing hold of his familiar hand.
