"Come on Sherly, you have got to let loose- have some fun? I assure you, your books won't miss you. Besides, it's not even a school night," Bertie suggests.
"No." Sherlock knows the only reason he is being asked is for his friend.
"There'll be plenty of people there to annoy! Maybe you'll find someone who doesn't think you're a total arse," Steve chimes in, grabbing a hold of Sherlock's left arm.
"Mm, I'm sure you'll get a real kick out of seeing someone chatting me up." Sherlock replies.
"Yeah, Steve might even get a bit jealous," Bertie picks at his mate.
The three of them are walking down the street on the way from the Senior Dorms down to their first class. Sherlock is not in the least amused by the comment about Steve being jealous. Anyone with two eyes and a head could tell Steve was hiding his feelings for Holmes. Obviously, it was not mutual.
Steve coughed, "Shut it! All I am saying is that it will be good for you to get out of your head for a while," and would it be so bad if I asked you for a dance? He almost said.
"Yeah, and maybe a bit drunk or high. How vulnerable would you prefer me?" Sherlock gives a stone-cutting glare to his left.
Steve blushes, and Bertie interjects, "Hey, we just want you to have a good time tonight. All you have done since we've met you is stick your nose in books and run around chasing after lost items and the occasional mystery. Just give it all a rest for one night. I promise you will have a good time, just leave it to us!"
"Fine, if you never badger me about being boring again afterwards." Sherlock replies.
"Of course! You will not regret it!" Steve happily accepts these terms.
Just in time, the boys arrive at their class.
