After immediately excusing herself to her bedroom, Molly comes out a few minutes later dressed in her favorite pair of jeans and a sweater, (Obviously trying to make up for her being more than a little over exposed beforehand), finding Sherlock exactly where she left him on the couch.
"So" she says walking around the flat, looking for her hairbrush "Why have you decided to honor me with your presence this morning?"
A short moment passes before Sherlock answers, as if he's deciding what would be the appropriate thing to say
"Oh you know" he says, trying to act as non chalant and possible "Trying to find something even slightly interesting to do and pass useless time between cases." He says matter of factly
"John says you just ditched out in the middle of breakfast" said Molly, finding her hairbrush and sitting on the opposite end of the couch from him, starting to brush her hair.
"Yes, well breakfast is boring" he replies almost as if the conversation itself was already boring him "I didn't even participate in the eating part and I'm tired of sitting through it"
"Okay..and how exactly am I supposed to help you out with that?" Molly asks, still confused by his presence. She finished brushing her hair, and had started putting it into a plait
"After spending so many days with John, not only does he become very predictable in everything he does, but also more and more unwilling to appease my need to do something to pass my time."
So basically you want me to entertain you." Molly concludes
Sherlock replies with a stiff and slightly uncomfortable nod
Molly contemplates if this would be a smart thing to agree to. She is well aware that John puts up with him more than anyone else. However, Molly came to realize quite a while ago that all the quirks and annoying habits that John had to put up with, weren't anywhere near as annoying and tedious to her.
Molly still isn't sure if it's a good idea or not, but then she glances up and takes a look at his face
The look on Sherlock's face is telling Molly that all he wants out of this situation is to be able to freely be himself in whatever scenario they are dealing with, and have someone around to accept it (whether or not they actually like it.) Even if Molly said no, he would still go off and do his thing, but its obvious that he would rather have company (or and audience, she thinks to herself)
"Sure Sherlock" she decides after a moment "Sounds good, just let me grab my jacket." As she heads for her hallway closet
An immediate smile crept onto Sherlock's face from her reply, his eyes instantly shining from satisfaction. He hops up from the couch, suddenly with just a tad more pep in his step
"However, this comes with a catch" Molly informs Sherlock as she heads towards the door
He eyes her questioningly, almost afraid to ask about the terms and conditions of the adventure, resulting in a giggle from Molly
"I haven't even eaten yet. I was just about to start breakfast when you scared the living daylights out of me!" she says giving him a smile. "If you can keep me company while I go out for breakfast, then we can do whatever you want for the rest of the day. But that means you'd actually have to sit with me the entire time and wait until I am done and ready to leave."
Sherlock thinks it over for a second. He would still end up watching someone eat breakfast, but at least it will be a new face for once. Plus, he was sure he could count on Molly to help provide with new and interesting conversations for the time being. It was one of the reasons why he had asked to spend the day with her in the first place
"Deal" He says, helping her out the door
Hi everyone! I know this chapter in unbearably short, but I promise you that I am working on it.
I hope you are enjoying the characters so far. I had decided to do Molly slightly different than other people write her as. I still want her to be intimidated by Sherlock, but also not afraid in the least to say whatever is on her mind. And I wanted to make Sherlock a little more humorous than he is portrayed as a lot of the time. So I hope that it is working out so far.
Please review if you would like, they really would help me.
Thanks for reading!
