The Experiment
Sherlock had always been too busy to deal with his hormones and sex. They were unimportant compared to the thrill of the chase of criminals or the start of a new game! How could they compare?
He had never given much thought to it but since the game with The Woman it was all he could think of. Granted it did not appear on the outside that it occupied his mind as he was doing the same activities as before and he was the same sarcastic Sherlock. But he had started to wonder what sex felt like, all those chemical reactions mixing and reacting… There was no two ways about it; he was going to have to experiment!
His second thought was to think of whom to approach to gain answers…certainly not Mrs Hudson! John would freak out and wonder if he was right all along and that Sherlock was actually gay. And Mycroft was definitely out of the question, he teased him enough on the subject as it is! He snorted at the image of asking Mycroft for advice.
His natural choice would be The Woman but she was now on the other side of the world for her own safety. Now who was closer to home…..?
It came to him in a flash, but of course! Who else could he trust? He had worked with her for many years and he supposed it helped that she had feelings for him. The answer of course was Molly Hooper, his pathologist!
He was now inbetween cases and could dedicate abit of time to plan to get Molly to 'relieve' him of his virginity. Sherlock rolled his eyes at the thought of his university years when he got teased for not wanting to go 'get laid' like the rest of his cohort. He sat in his armchair strumming his violin as he planned.
He needed to make sure he could seduce Molly effectively without causing much emotional upheaval for her or expectation of anything permanent afterwards unless he wanted it. He raised an eyebrow at that thought.
Next Day….
He approached Molly when she was just finishing up an autopsy. "Hang on Sherlock I'm almost done with this then you can have the report!" He smirked at her and decided to regard her appearance rather than answer. Her hair was swept to the side into a braid, her make-up was minimal suggesting she woke up late and the few cat hairs on her trouser leg showed him that she fed her cat before she left for work. Overall he was pleased with her appearance and he decided that he liked her with the minimal make-up.
When she finished the report she turned to find Sherlock stood leaning against the wall watching her with a strange expression on his face. Molly unconsciously checked her hair for any out of place. "Molly I've got a request. Can you follow me to the lab?" Molly was a little surprised but only a little because this wasn't how he usually asked her to do tasks for him!
She followed him back to the laboratory and took the proffered stool across from Sherlock. Sherlock started by asking bluntly if she would like to help him get rid of his virgin status? Molly gaped at him for a few minutes before stuttering "Wha..what?" Sherlock rolled his eyes
"Don't make me repeat myself, can you help me or not? I'll find someone else if you are not up to helping me." The thought of another woman helping Sherlock rid of his virginity was what helped Molly blurt out her answer "Yes! I mean yes of course I'll help you."
Sherlock smiled "Good I'm glad you agreed! Now come round tonight to my flat, both John and Mrs Hudson are away so we will not be disturbed!" And with that he left Molly in a bewildered state.
Molly stood in shock for at least 5 minutes before sitting down in a nearby chair to think on what had just past between herself and Sherlock. He wanted to…have sex…with her….molly hooper. The woman he put down all the time, the woman who he made feel like a child with his observations.
'Fuck me…am I dreaming?' The pinch she gave herself proved that Sherlock HAD just been in her lab and propositioned her. 'No it really has happened!'
The more she thought about it, the more she felt like this was a bad idea! The rational side of her brain told her she would only end up being hurt if she went through with it as everyone knows he only uses her to get things HE wants. He would not get attached but would she be able to let go? Could she handle a one-time stand with the only man who made her heart flutter and her knees weak?
But at the same time she would not be able to live with herself if she let this opportunity go. She COULD not let another woman take her place!
'Molly Hooper, you will do this and tomorrow…..tomorrow you'll get over him!' She nodded to herself and decided to leave early as there was only paperwork to do, nothing that could not wait until tomorrow!
