Author's note: So I was finally able to log onto my fanfiction account today, but there are some days that I couldn't. So hopefully, I could do it tomorrow or so. Here is the next chapter and I hope there isn't much grammar mistakes on here. If there is mistakes besides grammar, please let me know!
It was Sunday morning, and John woke up in the arms of Professor Sherlock Holmes. John tried to get up, but Professor Holmes just held him tighter. Now that John knows that he was awake, he was able to talk to him. "Professor, I need to go back to the dorm. Mike might come home soon," John explained.
Without opening his eyes, Professor Holmes replies: "You can call me 'Sherlock' when we are in a private setting like this one. And besides, you could always lie where have you been to Mike. It's only eight in the morning," as Sherlock cracked an eye open to look at the time, "go back to sleep."
John huffed, "Well, now I can't since I'm wide awake. What about you tell me the history between you and Professor Victor Trevor?" He asked. John felt Sherlock stiffen in his arms, "or what about that kiss yesterday? Why did you kiss me?" He asked.
"This is all for you, John. I kissed you because I thought you wanted it," Sherlock says.
"The kiss that I felt didn't seem like it," John said as he felt Sherlock turned in his arms and they were now both face-to-face. "There's something more to it, I just don't know it," John said confidently.
"What if there is something more to it, are we going to do something about it?" Sherlock asked with a grin as his eyes glinted.
"Do you want this to be more? I could give you more," John replies.
"It has to be secretive. Just like in your story," Sherlock replies.
John nodded, "I'm fine with that. It's more fun if it's secretive," he said with a smile.
"Mmm, go back to sleep," Sherlock says again.
"No, now I'm wide awake," John replies as he yawns and stretches.
"Johhhhn..." Sherlock whines.
John huffed, "What are you, three?" He asked.
"I can be," Sherlock said with a smirk.
John sighed, "I hate you," he muttered.
"No you don't," Sherlock replies snickering.
"I know," John said sighing and with that, the two of them kiss.
The following Monday morning found John in the computer lab in the school as he begins the next assignment for one of his classes. However, he was interrupted by none other than Mike Stamford.
"Tell me it isn't true!" Mike exclaimed horrific.
"What is?" John asked bewildered as he looked at his friend.
"Don't play dumb with me! There are rumors going around that you had been seen going into Professor Holmes flat!" Mike exclaimed.
"What! I was at home the whole entire weekend!" John lied but he was shocked.
"Look, as your friend, you have to tell me the truth: were you at our dorm the whole weekend or were you somewhere else?" Mike asked.
"I visited my sister during the weekend, Mike. I can't do that any more?" John asked lying as his sister lived near Baker Street which was really a coincidence. "Who started this rumor?" He asked.
"I'm not too sure, but it's a picture of you being seen in Baker Street. The dean and someone from Scotland Yard is having a talk with Professor Holmes right now," Mike explained.
"Mike, Harry lives near Baker Street. I thought the school knows that?" John asked.
"Did you updated your records? I thought Harry lived somewhere else before she moved there," Mike replied.
John swore, "I've been busy lately. She moved there about a year ago," he said.
"I think you should explain it to the dean then," Mike said worriedly, "I also hear that Professor Holmes might get the boot," he said.
"And I'm sure there's going to be more rumors after we leave the lab as I forgotten where we were at," John said as the students around him were listening to their conversation while working on their assignments even though they try not to show it.
"Well, come on then, John. I like Professor Holmes and I don't want a new teacher after this incident," Mike said as John quickly packs his stuff.
John burst through the dean's office as he ignored the secretary shouting at him, "Don't fire Professor Holmes, sir! There's been a misunderstanding!" He began.
"Excuse me, but who is this?" The man behind the dean asked.
"This is John Watson, the second party who is involved in this outrageous incident, Detective Inspector Lestrade," Sherlock introduced.
"Professor Holmes have been explaining to me that he had been home the whole weekend and hadn't seen you until now, is that true?" The dean asked.
"Yes sir, it is true," John said nodding as he took a seat beside Sherlock.
"Could you explain to me why this picture have been going around?" The dean asked as he showed John the picture.
"I was home the whole entire weekend, sir. However I did visited my sister on Saturday as she lives near Baker Street," John lies.
"I was able to confirm it by his brother, Mycroft Holmes, that Professor Holmes had indeed been home the whole entire weekend without any visitors. That is including his landlady, Mrs. Hudson. Can we confirm it with your sister and to anyone else?" DI Lestrade asked.
"I could call her if you want," John suggested.
"Give me her number and I will talk to her myself," DI Lestrade said. John nodded as he gave the number to him and he watches DI Lestrade leave the room for the moment to make a call.
"Sir, if I may ask, who gave you the picture?" John asked.
"Two students from Professor Holmes gave it to me. They were concerned about your safety," the dean said.
"I see, but don't you think there's a possibility that it could be photoshop? I did that once with a picture of me and my sister as I use photoshop for it and I added my parents' photo's in it with a design in the background. It was a gift for their wedding anniversary," John said smiling.
"But why would those students do that? I spoke to them and they seem to be good students," the dean said.
Just then, the door to to the office opened and they looked to see DI Lestrade coming inside. "It all checks out sir," he said as he closed the door and was now looking at the dean, "his sister confirms that John was indeed visiting her," he said.
"Now I don't know whom to believe," the dean said sighing.
"Do you want all that trouble to look for another Professor for that particular class, sir?" Professor Holmes asked.
"No and the quarter is almost done as well," the dean said unhappily as he looked at the two of them. "What class was this again?" He asked as he turned on his computer.
"Eng 508," John replies and he knew that Professor Holmes was the only one teaching it that quarter.
The dean frowned as he browsed through the online schedules and he saw that there was no other class beside Professor Holmes. "I'm in a predicament here," he said. "The only other person that I know who teaches Eng 508 is Cheryl White, but she's on paternity leave for awhile," he said.
"Sir, there's nothing going on between me and Professor Holmes," John began, "I'm straight anyway," he lies.
"What should we do sir?" DI Lestrade asked. Lestrade fully knew that Sherlock wasn't straight at all, as Mycroft and himself were dating and Mycroft tells him things.
"I won't do anything as of right now, but if I hear another incident between the two of you, I must take drastic charges, is that clear?" The dean asked as the two nodded, "DI Lestrade, please escort Professor Holmes to his class and make sure Mr. Watson here isn't anywhere near him," the dean said.
"Of course sir," DI Lestrade said nodding and with that, the two men stood up and got escorted outside with him.
"What's going on John?" Mike asked worriedly as soon as he saw them outside the office.
"Mr. Watson, go wherever you have to be right now. I must speak with Sherlock alone," DI Lestrade said.
John looked at the both of them and nodded, "Alright, I'll see you later Professor," he said and with that, he left with John.
DI Lestrade looked back at Sherlock sharply, "Tell me the truth and I want the whole truth, Sherlock. I know that you were lying in there as well as John, but I must know everything what had happened between the two of you," he hissed.
"Fine, but leave him out off it. Let's go to my office and I'm sure Mycroft would tell you anyway," Sherlock said angrily.
