Sherlock was truly excited for tonight. He and Molly were having a night in together for date night and he always looked forward to their indoor shenanigans. There was no idea in his head about what she had cooked up this time. Molly always knew what to suggest for things they both enjoyed.
His phone lit up with a video call from her. Sherlock answered to see her dressed for work.
"Molly?"
"Hey Sherlock, I'm sorry but I've just been called in and I have to do these autopsies," Molly explained.
"Why can't the other pathologist do it?" he asked.
"They're out sick, I'm afraid. I'm so so sorry to cancel, but I'll make it up to you, I promise," Molly told him. He pouted like a sad puppy dog, the light gone from his eyes.
"Alright, if anything points to foul play, let me know," he said solemnly.
"You're so cute when you pout like that," Molly told him. "I'll turn that frown upside down, I promise." He gave her a small smile.
"Have a good night," he told her.
"I'll try," she said before blowing him a kiss and hanging up.
Four hours later, his phone pinged.
I'd so much rather be home with you. MH xx
I prefer that option as well. SH
How ironic would it be to die of boredom in a morgue? MH
Really, Molly? Wow, you just said that. SH
I know. Terrible joke. But honestly, I might. MH
We can't have that, now. SH
I'd miss you too much. SH
I miss you right now. MH xx
Molly hadn't received a text back from him. By some miracle, he might've actually fallen asleep. She felt completely drained with the two autopsies finished and nothing else to do but have the bland coffee from the canteen.
Suddenly, Sherlock swept in with a smile on his face.
"What are you doing here?" Molly asked. "Oh God, there hasn't been a murder has there? I don't think I have the strength to do another autopsy."
"No," Sherlock chuckled. "No murder...unfortunately. I brought chips." He held out a takeaway bag. "I figured we could have date night here."
"In the morgue?" Molly giggled. "Well, you are full of surprises, Sherlock Holmes."
"Mm, I know," he replied playfully arrogant before kissing her softly.
