Author's note: I'm so chuffed in having so much interest in this new fic of mine. I'm loving every review and favourite and alert, so thank you! Keep them reviews coming and a new chapter will be along as soon as possible.

John and Sherlock had been boyfriends for two months; it was mid-August, so nearing the end of the summer holidays that they had spent at home together, when they were sat on the sofa with four parents in front of them.

"So, your birthdays are coming up. And you're big boys now, so what would you like to do?" Alan asked.

Sherlock and John looked at each other and their faces broke out into massive grins.

"A party together!" John said.

"Please!" Sherlock added.

"And if you have a joint party what would you like to do?" Kathy asked.

"I want a party in the garden, like Mycroft's." John said.

"But I don't want so many people." Sherlock said.

"Okay, so just some fun and games and dancing in the back garden. Well, we have to invite relatives; do you want any friends to come over?" Ron asked.

"I don't have any friends except John." Sherlock said.

"Alright then, John, what about you?" Julie asked.

"Well, some people are okay with me, but I don't really want them to come because they aren't proper friends." John said.

"Well that's fine." Alan smiled.

"You two run along and we'll sort everything else out." Kathy said.

John whispered something in Sherlock's ears and the little genius' eyes sparkled.

"We want to have a sleepover too!" Sherlock said with excitement.

"Alright then." Ron nodded with the rest of the adults.

Their actual birthdays were about a week before school started, on the 21st and 23rd of August, but most people they had contacted weren't free then, so they moved the party date a few days before and planned it for a Saturday and the boys were so excited that the parents found it very difficult to get them to sleep.

In the morning John didn't even eat breakfast; he ran straight out the front door and knocked on the next one.

It was answered in moments by his boyfriend and they had a big hug. It was their party day today!

It took John half an hour of him and Sherlock bouncing around, excited about their party, to realise that he was still in his pyjamas.

Luckily Julie turned up with his clothes while Alan also came around to help decorating and such.

"Okay, so your uncles, aunts, cousins and grandparents are all coming. They'll be here at about one o'clock." Kathy informed them.

At one o'clock the Watson's and the Holmes' family started arriving.

Sherlock and John were the centre of attention, John didn't mind, but Sherlock didn't like it so much. Luckily within half an hour they were left alone to play while the adults chatted by the buffet on the patio and the children ran around the garden.

"Sherlock and John seem to have gotten closer." John's grandmother pointed out.

"Oh yes, not that anyone thought it possible. They're boyfriends now." Kathy said as they watched Sherlock lead John by the hand to the sand pit.
