I Noticed.
Sherlock looked around in the wide room lit up with the lights bouncing off the walls, the music booming around the room. Everybody dancing, enjoying themselves for their own reasons and to celebrate such a happy day. Sherlock seemed to come to the current moment and realised he was standing alone and still on the dance floor, slowly he made his way out of the crowd towards the coat room. Molly turned to look and saw Sherlock leaving the coat room. No she said to herself. I am not following him. She continued dancing for a couple of seconds before her legs decided she was infact going to follow him and made her excuses to her dance partner.
It was cold and the crisp spring air was blowing a steady breeze outside. The venue lit up like a tree, the lights reflecting from the beautifully styled windows showing off the budding flowers growing up alongside the walls and glass. Molly's footsteps where quick as she darted round onto the concrete path towards to exit, her heels began clicking softly as she hit the pavement, she saw Sherlocks dark figure moving towards to shadow of the trees, although dark the moon was providing a good source of light and the sky was clear. She kept walking along the pavement for a few more steps before his voice dragged her out of her trance with an incredible start.
''Molly go back inside'' Sherlock had stopped and turned to face Molly.
''Where are you going, surely you would want to sta-
''I have done what i told John i would do with a little more added in'' Molly smiled remebering the events of the evening so far '' I do not think he would notice if i left early now''
''Dont leave Sherlock''
''Why not?''
''I would notice''.
Sherlock looked up at her to see her eyes fixed on the pavement, she was shivering on the spot but there was no intention of movement in her actions. He made his way towards her, his footsteps causing her to look up into his eyes for just a split second before they darted away. Sherlock placed his coat over her shoulders pulling it round to cover her arms.
''Thankyou'' She smiled politely at him before he turned and continued to walk. Molly's smile dropped and she followed him out onto the grass verge overlooking the moonlit lake, he pace quickened and Molly had to jogg to keep him in sight.
''Sherlock Stop!''
''What Molly!'' Sherlock spun round to see Molly was not phased by his response like she had expect but in fact more expecting it. He straightened his posture and waited for her response but she said nothing. ''People have been presuming something is wrong all night, why in fact would anything be wrong it has been an evening that has gone to plan, you know i am not one for social occasions and John knows that to so if i left early i dont think my actions would be put across as offensive''
''You leave when you find yourself in an emtional situation'' Sherlock scoffed at Molly's words before realising that its what he had just done. ''Nobody said you where scared, or worried that things would change and nobody has told you anything is wrong, its what you think people are thinking of you, not the other way around, why leave in the middle of a celebration when enduring what was the hardest part of the evening?''
Sherlock looked at Molly, she was playing the the edges of his coat and biting her lip, signs of aniexty. But the silence was not out of annoyence what she had just said was true and he honestly couldnt figure out why.
''It just seemed like the right time to leave''
''What and the end of the party isnt a good time to leave'' Molly smiled at his reaction to his statement.
''Emotions are something i tend not to get involed with and that'' He said pointing at the venue with the shadows moving rapidly around the the beat of the music and the swishing lights. ''Is why''
''I would of never of guessed'' Molly replied sarcastically ''But how is the ending of a party more emotional than a wedding reception or the actual wedding?''
''Because thats happiness''
''What and leaving is sadness?''
''Its saying goodbyes yes'' It suddenly occured to Molly what Sherlock was so uncomfortable about.
''They will be back you know, its only two weeks away, they are not moving to another country'' Sherlock scoffed
''I know that Molly'' Molly moved closer to him, once next to him she turned to face the venue standing beside him.
''It wouldnt be like the goodbye you last said to him''
''I hope not'' Sherlock raised his eyebrow and turned to face her. ''Why on earth are you so concerned?''
''Its who i am i suppose'' she said shrugging her shoulders. '' It doesnt matter how many times you push me away i shall always come running back!'' Sherlock noticed Mollys disapointment in her words as she rethought of her actions over the last few years.
''Your a good friend'' He said looking directly at her. ''Thankyou'' Molly smiled before turning round to face the lake ''Yeah well at least im doing something right'' Sherlock saw her eyes fix onto the lake he turned and offered his arm.
''Care for a walk?''
Molly smiled and placed her arm in his, They wandered down the pavement which turned to gravel and along to the side of the pond. The beat of the music only just heard as the sound of crickets and wildlife took over.
''Do you ever do this?'' Molly said looking around her.
''Not really'' Sherlock replied. ''Always came across as dull, but if it means avoiding something i would rather be dull than uncomfortable'' Molly laughed pushing him gently.
''Your not as bad as people think!''
''No..Im worse'' Molly laughed once more.
It was a strange reaction, he stopped and looked at her, she turned towards to lake before facing him.
''What?'' She said looking confused
''Out of all the years i have known you i dont think i have ever made you laugh''
''You have never been normal enough to.'' Molly smiled at sherlocks half grin before carefully taking off his coat. '' You must be colder than i am'' She said looking down at the grass before meeting his eyes once more.
Sherlock watched her intently as he pulled on his coat and brought his collar up he could see she was already feeling the cold once more.
''Well i better go and join the crowd, i have left all my things in there anyway'' She smiled up intently at him before placing her hand on his shoulder and rubbing his arm softly. ''It will be fine'' Sherlock scoffed again at the sentinment before turning to look at the lake. Molly turned to leave.
''Molly'' Sherlock spoke, Molly turned around to face him, she couldnt of been halfway round before Sherlocks arm rapped around her waist and pulled her in, it was almost like it had been rehearsed as his lips found hers, the suprise of it all caused Molly to swallow her gasp before she finally realised what he was doing and moved her hands to his face and around the back of his neck joining them there. Sherlocks hands pulled her waist closer to his and used his coat to cover Mollys shivering form as he continued to manipulate her into opening her mouth for him. It was a powerful kiss, mixed with emotions and tension but Molly went along with his actions aware of how he may react when he comes back down to earth. They stood for a while sharing the same space before Molly pulled away and took a step out of his embrace.
''I have my own coat'' She said grinning softly
''I am aware'' Sherlock smiled back at her. He facial expression changed in almost an instant going back to a serious look. ''You should return to the party. They will notice your missing''
''They wont notice'' she said confidently, sherlock noticed the expression of uncertainly when her teeth met her bottom lip again.
''They will deffinatly notice.''
