Chapter 10

Disclaimer: I don't own Sherlock or anything.

Author's note: Sorry for the slight delay, I'm super busy this week and really trying to update this fic as soon as I can. Thank you for reading, reviewing, following and favouriting. I hope you enjoy this chapter and please review so I will be inspired to write more and soon! Thank you! Also, I know this is a really short chapter, but do not worry, I just needed to finish something up and the next chapter will be up later on today. I will begin writing it very soon, just for you.

At the age of ten Sherlock and John had chosen their secondary schools and were soon to be leaving their primary schools. They weren't as bothered as some of the other students because they would both be going to the same high school, which made them both very happy.

Now they were ten Sherlock and John were both in their element, completely comfortable with who they were.

John was a bit more noticeably smaller than Sherlock. He played on a Rugby team, which Sherlock came to watch when he wasn't experimenting. John had a particular interest in Biology, which Sherlock helped him learn things about because Sherlock had a particular way of helping John learn well. John also adored PE, which he was very good at and he also loved a bit of rough and tumble.

Sherlock was incredibly clever and intimidating to a lot of children at their school because of this. John was always with him though, so Sherlock didn't get into too much trouble... though they did get into a lot of trouble together, it was just not because Sherlock was rude and more because they went on little adventures that usually ended up with one of them stuck up a tree or covered in their school lunch. Sherlock refused to show off his amazing mind and observations in talent shows or treat his mind like it should be used for a game. He observed people frequently, he wasn't shy about his genius, but he would never use his intelligence like it was a circus act. John admired Sherlock greatly for this.

Their relationship hadn't changed much. They were completely and utterly in love. They spent most of their time together playing, learning and being there. In the evening they would cuddle up together and during the day they would be each other's constant company. They relied on each other a lot. They were not just boyfriends, they were best friends.

The last day of their primary school was very hectic.

Near the end of the day Sherlock leant over the table and asked John "Why are some people crying, John?"

Though Sherlock's mind was brilliant, he wasn't very good with emotions. He was good with John's feelings more than anybody else's, which was lucky, but he just didn't always understand them.

"They're crying because they've spent a long time here and with these people and now it's over, so they're sad." John explained.

"You're not sad though, John." Sherlock stated.

"No, I'm not. Why don't you deduce as to why that is?" John smiled.

"Is it for the same reason that I'm not sad?" Sherlock asked.

"Well, what's your reason?" John queried.

"Because I have you. And when we leave we will go to the same school as each other. And though you have a few friends here, neither of us made any proper friends because we have always had each other. So it's not really that sad." Sherlock explained.

John smiled and nodded.

When they left the school that had accepted them for who they were they didn't look back like all the other children. They didn't cry like the other children. They bid it a fond farewell and moved on to the next chapter in their life that they knew they would spend together for always.

Author's extra note: The next chapter will be a long one, so don't you go expecting it up immediately And it is the chapters some of us have been waiting for... it's time for high school, teenagehood and a lot of shenanigans!
