________________________________________________

The lovers' dance (1/3)


“Why would you agree on coming on both of our accounts? I certainly don’t want to go.”

“It’s Molly’s and Greg’s engagement party, of course we are going. And you are going to be agreeable, nice and friendly. Or at least silent.”

“What am I supposed to do there? You know I abhor small talk, I don’t drink and I don’t mix well with strangers. What else does one do at a party?”

“Dance? Plus, there will be people you know and we don’t have to stay forever.”

“I don’t dance. I hate dancing.”

“You’ve never danced with me. It might change your mind.”

Sherlock looked at him questioningly. John huffed.

“What?”

“I’ve always assumed you’d move rather awkwardly on a dance floor.”

“It’s not about looking good, it’s about having fun. And if you do it with someone you like, it can be very sensual.”

Sherlock didn’t look convinced which gave John an idea.

“All right. I will give you a test run later and if you enjoy dancing with me then you’ll come to the party with me tonight without complaining. Deal?”

“You’re very confident of your dancing abilities.”

“Hm?”

“You took your mobile out to text Lestrade that we are coming without even waiting for my reply.”

“I am very good. But I really wouldn’t want to boast.”




Next 221b: Good things come to those who wait

Oh, I can't wait to "see" how those two dance, especially since John is so sure of success!

John is so going to show him! And yay, two more to come, can't wait! Oh and I already know I'm going to love this little dancing series.

Read Buuzzzz before and now I'm buzzing with joy.

And you are going to be agreeable, nice and friendly. Or at least silent.
Given what Sherlock can say when he opens his mouth, being silent is probably what resembles being agreeable, nice and friendly most for him. :D

“You’ve never danced with me. It might change your mind.”
Since Verity's First Night Out we all know how it ends when Sherlock and John dance together in public. It ends very well. I think I'm going to love this story. And yay for the two other parts! :D

See this is the Pavlovian conditioning. Now you promise sequels before we even ask for them. We have trained you well!

Something tells me that this should have the "sex on the horizon" tag...

It's never that easy with me. :P

Aaawww, I LOVE my OTP dancing!!! And I have utter trust in John :)

[atlinmerrick.livejournal.com]

Oooooo, I do like how certain John is.

I do suspect you're going to trick us somehow though. In the entirely good, Anarion way.

P.S. Thank you for the lovely recommendation!
