Sherlock Imagines, Oneshots and Preferences

(teen!lock) School Project

Requested by Eva_Mary39
I'm so, so, soooooo sorry this took so long. I had exams and I guess I was a bit lazy to write Sherlock stuff too. I really hope you like this! Thank you so much for your request and all your positive comments that kept me going! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You waited patiently after ringing the doorbell. This was the fifth day you'd visited the Holmes household this week. Sherlock and you were partners for the upcoming science fair and had decided to do a project together. It was fair to say that the two of you had done absolutely nothing productive over the last four days. You just visited Sherlock everyday, and the two of you spent the whole afternoon goofing around, waltzing, and eating crisps, although not necessarily in that order.

Your thoughts were interrupted when the door snapped open and Mycroft poked his head out.

"Ah, at last. Had it suddenly dawned on the two of you that it's probably a bit too late to get started on that project of yours?"

You smiled. Typical Mycroft.

Someone pushed him away from the door hastily and pulled you in.

"Leave her alone, Mycroft. Come along, (Y/N)."

You quickly apologised to Mycroft as Sherlock dragged you upstairs to his room. You hopped over the huge mess of papers, paint, cardboard, and wires that laid on the floor. You two were planning to make a model of the solar system, using motors to make the planets rotate and revolve.

"I guess it's about time we got started," Sherlock said after a dramatic pause.

"Yeah, I suppose it is."

"So, I was thinking," he threw a bouncy ball at you, "you could start painting the planets, while I," he picked up a huge cardboard sheet, "paint this to look like space."

"Sure."

"Or the other way around?" He looked concerned.

"No, no, that's fine. I'm on it!" You smiled. "Also, let's add Pluto too, shall we?"

"What?! No!!"

"Why not? Sher-"

"(Y/N), Pluto was stripped of its planet status and reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. I thought you, of all people, should know that."

"Poor thing. I feel bad for Pluto. Dwarf planet and all that, why should that stop us from adding it to this project? I mean, it still exists!" You shrugged, trying to make a point.

Sherlock just shook his head in disappointment. "Do whatever you want. You'll be the one explaining to whichever teacher asks us why it's there."

You'd finished painting Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars when there was a knock on the door and Mrs. Holmes entered. "I'm going down to the store. Anything you kids want?"

"Ginger nuts." Sherlock said.

"Nothing." You smiled.

"She does, actually. I think she'll like custard creams, don't you, Mummy?"

"Custard creams for you, then (Y/N), anything else?" She smiled at you.

"Well, actually, I don't-" You began.

"-and Jammy Dodgers." Sherlock interrupted.

Mrs. Holmes left after you and Sherlock had argued about whether Jammy Dodgers or Bourbons were better, making a mental note to buy both.
