Disclaimer: I don't own Sherlock or anything.

Author's note: Hmm, is this the chapter you have been waiting for? Maybe, let us read, shall we ;)

Julie put the radio on as they drove to the countryside. Sherlock and John sat in the back, Sherlock was reading, he luckily didn't feel sick when he read in a moving vehicle. John had his head on Sherlock's shoulder and was watching the road quietly. It wasn't that they were nervous, it was that Julie was obviously a little awkward, and that reflected on them.

"I'm bored!" Sherlock proclaimed and shut the book.

"Have you finished your book?" John asked.

"No, it was boring; much in it was irrelevant information." Sherlock explained.

"We'll be there in fifteen minutes." Julie said.

Sherlock sighed and began tapping; he was never a good traveller because he got bored quickly, especially on routes he had taken before.

John put a hand on his shaking knee and raised his head from Sherlock's shoulder "Stop tapping and shaking."

Sherlock's leg stopped shaking but he looked irritated by boredom.

"Why don't we play a game?" John suggested.

"Really, John? That is a little childish, isn't it?" Sherlock raised an eyebrow.

"Fine. Hmm, well what do you want to do?" John asked.

"I have a list in my head." Sherlock said.

"Go on then." John awaited his boyfriend's list.

"Arrive faster. Kiss you. Have you read something interesting to me. Sleep with-"John cut Sherlock off.

"Okay, well I can read to you!" he said, Julie didn't need Sherlock's detailed list.

"We don't have any interesting books in the car with us." Sherlock huffed.

John reached his hands up and tangled them in Sherlock's hair "Head massage." John stated.

Sherlock finally shut up and relaxed, he sighed and put his head closer to John and enjoyed John's massage.

"We're here!" Julie said.

The cottage was lovely, a flowery garden out the front and a small field out the back. John and Sherlock got their bags out of the boot, kissed Julie on the cheek goodbye and watched her drive off.

John put the key in the lock and felt Sherlock's presence very close behind his back. He smirked and unlocked the door.

The house was well-cared for by an elderly neighbour and was ready for immediate usage.

"Come on, let's go and put our bags away." John said as he shut the door behind them.

They climbed the stairs and came to the master bedroom.

The walls were a calm cream, the bed was big and comfortable looking, the floor was soft with a beige and warm carpet. John put his suitcase on the bed and started unpacking and putting everything in the wardrobes and desk drawers and just putting stuff where it needed to be, Sherlock watched John move around for a few moments before doing the same.

There was no rush; they had a lot of time.

They conversed lightly as they unpacked and once John finished he sat on the edge of the bed watching Sherlock unpack.

"Finished." Sherlock said and turned to look at his boyfriend.

"Tonight?" Sherlock asked.

"Tonight." John nodded with a smile and stood up. He took Sherlock's hand and pulled him downstairs "Now, come on! Let's go and have lunch!"
