A/N: Hello! I've decided to do a Sherlock advent calendar, even though I'm four days late. Check each day for a new short story about the boys and Christmas. Some days might have two stories to make up for the days I missed. Any higher rated chapters will have a warning at the beginning. Hope you enjoy!
Holiday Movie
"I love when the holiday specials start showing on telly."
Sherlock rolls his eyes and resumes cleaning his lab equipment. "Yet another childish tradition you wish to keep, John."
"Oh, because the Holmes family was above Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer."
"Never once did my parents tell me such lies."
John laughs. "You're a stick in the mud every Christmas season and this year that is going to change."
Sherlock delicately sets down a beaker. "And how do you think that will happen?"
"We'll start with the holiday films. Elf is showing tonight and you will watch with me."
"I am not clogging my brain with something called Elf."
"Come on, it's hilarious! You'll enjoy it, I promise. It's about to start, I'll make popcorn and hot chocolate."
Sherlock shakes his head. "I won't watch it."
"Fine, you can sit in there and claim you're too whatever for holiday films, I'll be in here watching."
John wanders into the kitchen for his snacks. Sherlock watches as he boils enough water for a single, lonely mug of hot chocolate, then he watches John cover the top with mini-marshmallows. Sherlock licks his lips at the finished product.
"Say, John-" he starts.
"Only people watching Elf get hot chocolate."
With an annoyed sigh, Sherlock says, "Fine. I'll watch your stupid film."
John makes Sherlock his own mug of hot chocolate and makes a bag of popcorn, all while sporting a satisfied grin on his face.
They sit down for the movie and Sherlock is hooked about ten minutes in. In the end, he says watching holiday films wouldn't be so bad and asks what is playing on television tomorrow night.
