oOo

Sherlock wasn't one for remembering special dates; he only remembered John's birthday, his birthday and Christmas because everyone made a big fuss over it, but he did try and usually John's smile when he thought of something made all the effort worth it.

Which was why his stomach was turning as he looked down at the invitation in his hands.

Thirty years, his parents had been married for thirty years. He could remember them going out yearly for dinner leaving Sherlock and Mycroft home, much to their childish disappointment. He could remember the light in his mother's eyes when his father would walk into the dining room that morning, kiss her cheek and wishing her a happy anniversary.

Sherlock had done none of that and John never reminded him about it either. Wasn't it normal for married couple to celebrate? Why hadn't John said anything?

'Well the first year I was studying for exams, the second you were in Ireland for a case and for our first wedding anniversary the both of us were in the middle of the same things. Honestly, I didn't think that it would be something that you were interested in,' John shrugged.

Sherlock decided then and there that they were going to do something special for their second anniversary, and it was going to be beautiful.
