A few weeks later Sherlock and John were given their London University of Science interview times. They luckily got them on the same day in the morning.

They dressed smartly and got the train to London together. Their parents had wished them lots of luck.

They entered the large and old building, it had beautiful architecture; the detail in some London buildings is astonishing.

They went to reception and were shown through to the conference room.

After they had got married all of their official paper work had been changed so their surnames were 'Watson-Holmes'.

"So, Sherlock, you'll go first, the interview is fifteen minutes. And John, you'll be straight after." The receptionist gave them a smile and left.

They sat down on the chairs outside the door. John took Sherlock's hand and said "I'm sure it'll go fine. Just... be nice and patient." John advised.

"John, I think you're more nervous than me. I'll behave well, dad gave me lots of advice this morning before we left." Sherlock reassured his husband.

"I just really want us to both get in." John said and gave Sherlock's hand a small squeeze.

"I'm almost positive that they can look past any personality faults of mine because of my genius. And they'll love you, everyone loves you, John." Sherlock said.

"Not everyone." John blushed.

"Well, many people do. You're quite likeable." Sherlock said.

John smiled at the compliment and they waited for two more minutes in a comfortable silence.

A woman popped her head out of the room "Sherlock Watson-Holmes?" she called.

She went back into the room and John gave Sherlock a quick peck on the lips.

Sherlock entered the room. The floors were wooden and his footsteps echoed as he walked. The room wasn't massive, but it wasn't 'cosy' either. There was a table with five men and women in smart suits. Some had strict faces while others had kind smiles, trying to put the interviewee at ease. The wooden table was marked with patterns and Sherlock sat down on the hard chair opposite the five.

"Good morning. 'Sherlock' is it?" the man right in the middle said with a patient smile.

"Yes, sir." Sherlock said politely.

"Right, hello, I'm Professor Charles; it's nice to meet you. So, first thing's first, why were you attracted to this university?" Charles asked.

"It's got good grades, good results, it's a nice area, good for me and my needs. And my main subjects are Science." Sherlock explained.

"Good. And, how would you describe yourself?" a woman at the end of the table asked.

"Clever. I'm a genius. If I'm interested in something then I give it my all. I'm focussed." Sherlock said with confidence.

After about ten more questions that Sherlock answered politely and confidently, they told him they'd get back to him by that evening.

"Was the man sat next to you on the bench John?" Charles asked.

"Yes, I'll send him in for you." Sherlock nodded and left.

"How did it go?" John stood up.

"Fine. It's easy. Just stay calm." Sherlock advised, kissed John's cheek, and sat back on his chair.
