"Molly Hooper," Sherlock drawled, as he swung the door open dramatically.
She looked up at him as he entered the room. "Sherlock." It wasn't surprising, he often entered her lab to use it for experiments.
"Molly" he said again. "Molly, as you know, love is a chemical defect."
"I know you think that," she replied mildly, making sure to avoid any opportunity for her to hurt her. She would not let him walk all over her again.
"I would like to conduct an experiment regarding what is widely known as love."
This took an unexpected turn. Molly was about to reply when he went on.
"I would like to test this love thing against myself and I would like to do this using you and a dinner out at a restaurant."
Molly knew that she shouldn't jump to conclusions. "So you're saying..."
"Molly Hooper, will you help me experiment on love by being the variable to test against me." He doesn't say it as a question.
Molly finally allowed herself to smile. "Is this how Sherlock Holmes asks people out on dates?"
"You could put it like that, yes."
She started to laugh. "Sherlock ''married to his work' Holmes, asking me out? Did you plan this? Did you stress over it?" She teased.
He blushed a bit, but smiled. "Stress is unnecessary and I prefer to not omit to it, or admit to it at least, but yes I discussed it with John and contemplated it deeply." He paused. "So is that a yes?"
She giggled. "It's a yes." She pranced over to him and kissed him lightly on he cheek. "I have to go home, meeting my mom at dinner tonight." She swung the door open and left the room.
Once she was gone, Sherlock raised his hand to his left cheek that she had kissed, keeping his hand there for longer than he would ever admit. He, who laughed in the face of Criminal Masterminds an danced with serial killers. The high functioning sociopath stood there, completely shocked and overjoyed, but too vexed by the whole affair to show it, stood in the middle of the morgue, with his hand to his cheek, dreaming about the woman he was almost positive he loved and how they were going out to dinner.
