Chapter 2 :)
Disclaimer: Do. Not. Own. Sherlock.
Lestrade walked into the cafeteria, where Sherlock, John and, additionally, Molly were, 5 minutes later. He saw John clutching his stomach, laughing, with a beet-red Molly standing beside him and a Sherlock seated on one of the chairs.
A Sherlock with a shockingly bright orange blanket around his shoulders.
Lestrade approached the group, asking what had happened. John explained to him –rather, tried to inbetween hiccups of laughter- that Molly had announced something along the lines of 'I hate you' to Sherlock and proceeded to slap him on the face. Lestrade peered closely at Sherlock and could not contain his own laughter.
He certainly looked different, for lack of a better word. With the blanket unfamiliar on his shoulders, the bright orange contrasted greatly with his dark shirt, making it all too obvious to notice, even from 20 feet away. His left hand was over where Lestrade guessed must be where the slap was, and he could see a spot of red peeking out of his fingers. A very red spot of red.
"Been wanting to do that for years, but with a punch of course. But now," he turned to Molly, grinning broadly, "you have earned absolute respect from me, Dr Molly Hooper!"
"I didn't mean to say I hate him, or hit him!," she blurted out, "there was a bug on his cheek and I hate bugs and I wanted to smack it dead but it flew off when I smack the spot it was at and it just so happens to be on his cheek…" she trailed off, still red in the face.
Lestrade laughed out loud along with John and faced Sherlock. "You want to file a report on physical abuse?"
"Leave me alone," Sherlock said to him morosely, eyes slightly watery due to the painful sting on his cheek. Then added, as if the inspector could not see the blindingly obvious, "I'm in shock. Can't you see my blanket?"
The inspiration for this part came from an absolutely cute picture of a chibi Sherlock wrapped in an orange 'shock' blanket (this is also my profile pic). I hope this made you laugh! If it didn't…uh…maybe my sense of humour's not up to par with yours…
Thanks for reading; hope you enjoyed this! :DDD
