In the evening the teachers organised to go to a restaurant. The girls all dressed up in their best clothes and put make-up and perfume on while the boys sprayed themselves with deodorant and ran a comb through their hair.

They arrived at the nice restaurant and were led to a massive table, enough chairs for the whole group of students and teachers.

John and Sherlock sat side by side as usual with Freya and her best friend Violet on their left. But irritatingly Fran, Danielle and Abigail sat themselves on their right.

John and Sherlock had their entwined hands on the table.

An enthusiastic waiter who spoke English rather well arrived at their table and grinned at them all.

"Good evening." He said in his French accent "Welcome to France, the land of love! Tell me, before we order drinks, do we have any couples at the table tonight?" he asked.

Three couples put their hands up; Nancy and Daniel, Paul and Amy, and John and Sherlock. Well, John put his hand shyly up and eventually Sherlock followed suit.

"Ah, three couples! How lovely! And you two, what are your names?" he asked.

"I'm Nancy, and this is Daniel." Nancy giggled at the attractive French man.

"Lovely! How long have you been together?" he asked.

"Three months." Nancy said proudly.

"Brilliant! Can we see a kiss? This is the land of love!" He said with a cheeky smile.

Daniel pressed a kiss to Nancy's lips, but it ended quickly and they blushed at the cat calls and wolf whistles around the table.

"And you two, your names?" he asked.

"I'm Paul, she's Amy." Paul said.

"How long?" The French man asked.

"A week ago." Amy smiled.

"Ah, too early for a kiss? Or are you fast?" he asked.

Paul pecked Amy's cheek and small claps ran around the students.

"And you two?" He asked John and Sherlock.

"I'm John, he's called Sherlock." John answered.

"Ah, 'Sherlock', what an interesting name." The waiter said and came to stand closer to them.

Sherlock didn't take much notice of him.

"So, how long have you two been together?" he asked.

"10 years this June." John smiled.

The people in the group who were unaware of that raised their eyebrows.

"Oooh, when you were babies?" he asked.

"When we were five. But we've known each other since we were born, which was only a few days apart." John explained politely.

"Lovely! Can we see a kiss?" The man asked.

Sherlock and John looked at each other and John said "We're kind of private."

"Oh, come now. This is the land of love! Just a little kiss?" The man said with a pout.

Sherlock and John nodded at each other.

They moved forward and like two puzzle pieces, they fit together so well. Their lips met and their eyes closed and they shared a closed mouthed but loving kiss. Their hearts beat faster and when they pulled away they didn't pull away very far.

"That wasn't so bad." John whispered.

"It's never bad to kiss you, John." Sherlock said with a gentle smile.

John's smile widened "Well, I must say that I can say the same for you, love." John commented and gave Sherlock's lips one more peck before pulling away. The three girls next to them were giggling while Freya and Violet were smiling. Some people were wolf whistling and clapping.

John blushed and smiled and Sherlock squeezed his hand. Sherlock always had such control on his facial expressions, though not with John.

John and Sherlock conversed quietly with each other during dinner, occasionally talking to Freya or being asked questions about random stuff by the girls. As John ate some buttered bread and Sherlock let go of his hand to cut up some food John slipped his hand under the table and rested it on Sherlock's knee.

Sherlock looked up at John and smiled. John grinned back and went back to his bread.

When John had to remove his hand from Sherlock's knee, Sherlock slid his leg towards John and linked his foot with John's under the table. John couldn't help but smile and they carried on eating the nice food in peace and they quickly fell into their banter and light conversations.

In the evening all the kids trudged up to their hotel rooms, completely shattered from the exhausting day.

John and Sherlock managed to brush their teeth and change into their pyjamas then fall into their bed. John gave Sherlock a tired kiss and fell asleep cuddled up to Sherlock's side. Sherlock smiled fondly at his boyfriend, switched the lamp off and snuggled in closer to John, feeling comfort from the proximity and warmth.
