Chapter 21

Uncomfortable

Disclaimer: Don't own Sherlock unfortunately :(

45 seconds.

That's how long some annoying idiot has been staring at his Molly.

"-but somehow the puncture wounds came from inside his body! Nothing pierced his skin from the outside, but it's like a snake crawled up in there and bit it's way out. Does that make any sense... This cheese is rather good... Any ideas about the ca-" She cuts herself off and frowns. "Sherlock, are you even listening to me?"

That snaps him out of the morbid thoughts he had been entertaining of breaking the man's kneecaps and possibly urinating in his soup.

"Hmm?"

"I was talking about a case!" She exclaims. There is a moment of silence before she continues. "...And cheese..." She adds somewhat awkwardly.

"Very good, Molly. Quite, quite good." His attention is back on the man that has been staring at Molly.

"Sherlock, what on earth has gotten into you? You practically dragged me here and now you're not talking to me!"

He sighs. "That man... He keeps staring at you! I want him to stop!"

Molly purses her lips for a moment, but a few seconds later a laugh escapes her closed mouth. Sherlock glares at her. "What? It's funny! You're jealous!"

"I am not!"

"You totally are!"

"I don't get jealous."

"I suppose we're about to test that, aren't we?"

His attention turns back to the man that is now making his way to their table and giving Molly a dazzling smile. "Hello, my name is Jeff." He sticks his hand out.

Molly confusedly shakes it. "Um, Molly. This is Sherlock."

"Your brother, I'm assuming?" He doesn't give her a chance to answer before continuing on. "That's nice. Listen, I was wondering if I could join you? I couldn't help but notice how fetching you are from across the-" He's interrupted by a snort from Sherlock. He raises an eyebrow at him.

"Sorry... just... fetching, really?" He snorts again.

The man rolls his eyes. "Anyway, I thought you looked lovely and I was wondering if-"

"We weren't really expecting company." Molly coughs awkwardly.

"And I'm not her bloody brother!" Sherlock growls from behind the menu.

"Well, this is uncomfortable." Jeff mutters awkwardly.

"It really is." Molly's voice is so quiet that neither men hear her. They're too busy glaring at each other.

"I didn't think there was anything going on because you refused to touch her!"

Sherlock throws down his menu and shouts out, "I touch her every bloody night!". Molly just groans into her hands. Talking about their sex life in Tesco is one thing, screaming it in Angelo's is another...

"Don't see you doing it now!" Everything that happens next, happens very fast. Sherlock jumps up from the table, shoves Jeff aside, and (somewhat) gently yanks Molly up. He (not gently at all) crashes his lips on to her's.

It's not until about thirty seconds later that he pulls away to throw an evil smirk at the gaping (attempted) homewrecker.

"I do believe that I should take my girlfriend home and touch her now." With that, he drags Molly out of Angelo's with a shout to put the bill on his tab.

~The Next Day~

"God, you were so jealous..." She mutters into his chest.

He grumbles, but wraps his arm more tightly around her waist. "Maybe just slightly. His leer was obnoxious and he knew I was your boyfriend. He was looking to start a fight that he would hopefully win."

"So it wasn't about me at all?" She feels a bit disappointed until Sherlock's next words are spoken.

"Oh no, he wanted you. He just thought he could beat me and then impress you by doing so."

"That's stupid."

"He was stupid."

End Chapter 21

A/N

Haha, sorry would've been up sooner, but it got rewritten. It started out a lot more serious and I didn't like that. I have tons and tons of serious stories and that's really not what I wanted for this one. I mean, it wasn't super dark and depressing, but I'm really aiming for comical and sometimes downright silly with this one. So, I suppose you all will learn about Anthony, the creepy new pathologist that's 6.3 and bringing Molly coffee in another one-shot that is not related to this. We're going to go Anthony-free here today :) Anyway, thanks for the review!

Band of the chapter is Bon Jovi. Did I already do them? Christ, I don't remember. Awesome songs are "Always" and "Hook Me Up"!
