A few days after Christmas Julie and Kathy knocked on John's bedroom door and got a "come in" from him. They walked in and found Sherlock and John sat on the bed, Sherlock was inspecting a petri dish while John had a book on his lap.

"Yes?" John asked.

Kathy and Julie moved two stools and sat in front of their sons.

"Right, so, you have our blessing and all of that formality stuff, but we now think we should get the ball rolling with this wedding. When do you want it? Where do you want it? Who do you want there? What will you wear? What design of rings do you want? There is so much to organise!" Julie said excitedly.

"Oh, well, can I just say I've never liked churches. They seem too cold and empty and a little deathly, I mean they have beautiful structures and such, but I'm all in for one of those nice registry offices or something." John said.

"Yes, mum, Aunt Julie, I am aware and respect your religion, but I myself do not have the same beliefs as you, and I know John shares my views. So please respect us and don't fight us on this. I'd like a registry office place too." Sherlock nodded.

"Okay. Well it is your wedding, and everyone has different beliefs, it's your choice." Kathy said supportively, making Sherlock and John smile.

"And importantly, when do you want to do this? You're in your last year of sixth form; do you want to do this after sixth form is over, or sooner?" Julie asked.

"I don't want to wait too long. I don't think having it during sixth form is a good idea, but what about during a school holiday? Spring or Summer?" John queried, looking at Sherlock.

"Summer can be too hot, and it's too far away. I like Spring." Sherlock said with a smile.

"Me too. Spring term it is." John kissed Sherlock's cheek and they looked back at their mothers.

Their mums continued to chat to them about it, all four giving ideas until Sherlock said "I'm tired; I haven't slept in a few days. I think I need a shower too." and stood up.

"What were you doing last night when I was sleeping?" John frowned. Sherlock turned to face him and shrugged "Watching you sleep and making mental notes of your sleeping-habits, I like to ensure I know everything."

John sighed and said "And yes, no offence, but you do need a shower." John said.

"No offence taken, you're merely stating a fact and observing my bodily odour, why does everyone see things like that as offensive, I myself find it helpful." Sherlock frowned and got lost in his thoughts for a moment till he shook his head and said "Come join me in the shower, John." and walked out.

John blushed and looked sheepishly at his mother and the woman he felt was his auntie.

"Erm... I just need to go... do something." He stammered and practically ran to the bathroom.

"We're not stupid, but I like that John at least tried to be less obvious." Kathy sighed and the mothers went down to the living room to talk more of weddings.

John walked quickly into the bathroom, the shower was running, Sherlock's clothes were already on the floor, and he was in the shower, the glass hadn't misted up yet so John could see his fiancé clearly. The blonde man undressed and stepped into the shower.
