A drabble written for MHAW Valentine 2020. I originally posted this in a MHAW Valentine collection of its own, but have decided to move it here just to clean things up a bit.
Title – Fancy Dinner
She'd wanted to impress him, make an elaborate dinner that would show off her skills.
She was actually a very good cook.
Contrary to what the blaring alarm and smoke-filled kitchen might have indicated.
It wasn't really her fault that Molly had gotten completely distracted.
Someone (Sherlock) had shown up early, right when she should have been pulling the Beef Wellington from the oven to rest.
Someone (Sherlock) had handed her a bouquet of yellow and white daisies—her favourite flowers—and barely kept his hands to himself long enough for her to get them settled away in a vase of water.
Someone (Sherlock, again) had immediately dragged her upstairs to have his delightfully wicked way with her. She'd hardly been able to catch her breath before he'd begun to nibble at her lips and slowly tug the zipper of her dress down her back.
No one could blame her for forgetting about the oven when someone (it should be obvious by now) had been panting "Happy Valentine's Day, I love you" into her ear as he'd… been doing very distracting things that Molly didn't care to specify when she explained the entire embarrassing incident to Meena the next afternoon.
