Sherlock softly played his violin. It was dark outside, a light flurry of snow fell down upon 221B Baker Street. John was typing at his blog and Mrs. Hudson  was vacuuming downstairs.
He looked out the window, it was a silent night which was strange for the city of London, but a nice change. Sherlock continued to play, before deciding to go out on a walk. He put his violin away in the new shiny case and pulled on his coat and started to tie his scarf.
"Where are you going?" John asked looking up from his computer.
"A walk." Sherlock answered smoothly.
"Wanna come?" Sherlock asked his boyfriend who of course kept from his seat to grab his own coat. Before leaving John pocketed a small black box and shoved it into his coat pocket before following his boyfriend out the door.
The sky was a jet black and the snow lightly fell on them. The moon shone brightly and strangely enough it was nicely silent. The both walked a slow relaxed pace and the two had their hands intertwined. They made their way to a park. They walked along the path looking around at the scenery before stopping at a bridge. The two then rested there. They looked up at the sky as the flurries fell on their faces. It was breathtaking in both the men's opinions. Suddenly a soft tune began playing from somewhere in the park. Sherlock guessed it was Mycroft's doing and looked to John.
"Care for a dance?" He asked hold out his hand for John. The doctor smiled and nodded. He took Sherlock's hand and soon they were peacefully swaying to the music. Eventually when the song came to an end and their noses and ears were a soft shade of pink they softly kissed. John smiled to himself the music was a complete surprise but made the night even better. John slipped his hand into his pocket and stepped back from Sherlock.

"Sherlock I remember our first case, "a Study in Pink" as clear as day. I remembered when you first showed your deductions and how amazed I was. How you rid me of my limp and how you brought life and excitement back to me. This past time that we spent together has never made me more happy. I hope to spend the rest of my time in the future with you as well." John toon the box out went down on one knee. Sherlock suddenly realized what was occurring and stepped back. John opened the box to reveal a shiny piece of jewelry. An offering to wed. Sherlock shock his head in disbelief before finally looking John in the eyes.
"God yes." Was all Sherlock could muster. The tall dark haired man was speechless. John got back on his feet and slipped the ring on Sherlock's finger. He then put Sherlock's face in his hand and Sherlock put his hands on the blogger's hips. They pulled each other into a loving kiss.

They returned home to 221B Baker Street. They began to undress and change into comfortable bed clothes and collapsed onto the bed. They wrapped each other in their warmth snuggling together. Soon the couple fell into a peaceful slumber.

Hope y'all are pleased with this chapter. I don't have much to say other than Mycroft would and that's all.
