A date less ordinary.
Today I found a nice list of unusual things you could do on a date. Since dinner and film are far too boring for our favorite couple, I'll let them try it all.
One-shots, no graphic slash just fluff and humor.
Diclaimer: Since neither Steven Moffat nor Mark Gatiss are likely to give us any romance and fluff in the series, we have to do it on our own. No money made from it and no rights violation intended.
It had been John's idea. Of course it had been. Sherlock was hardly the type for romantic candle light dinners. Besides they already had that and it didn't have even the slightest effect one would wish for in order to get romantically involved. To be fair Sherlock was hardly the type for a date at all but John wouldn't have any of it. He wanted to properly woo and being wooed and if that wouldn't happen in the usual way it would have to happen Sherlock style. Absolutely and utterly mad, that would be.
To be fair it wasn't entirely John's idea in the first place but Jenny's. Not the dating Sherlock part, of course, but the fun part. Jenny was John's long-term not-quite girlfriend between grade 10 and sometime during final exams in medical school. She was bright, funny, slightly mad and more the girl from next door kind of girl. They both somehow always wanted it to be more but somehow they always ended up with having a good laugh and an awkward not-kiss at the end of the day. That wasn't to blame on the dates they were on, of course, but maybe on the fact that neither John nor Jenny were really attracted to each other other than mentally or the fact that they had known each other for so long that it seemed the perfect moment had passed them by without either-one noticing.
This time John was quite confident it would work. Sherlock and he were terribly attracted to each other – thank God Mrs. Hudson was either slightly deaf or didn't mind the noise – and the perfect moment had already happened some weeks ago after another mad chase across London's rooftops. So what the dates would be for was to deepen the relationship they had, not so much create one.
And that's the story how John and Sherlock started going out on fun dates.
