John stood in front of the mirror, checking his clothes, then fixing up his hair. After a while of going through his clothes, he settled on jeans, red shirt and his black jacket. He didn't like the idea of being overdressed for his date with Sarah.
When he turned around, he almost jumped when he noticed Sherlock sitting on the bed.
"What are you doing?"
"Uh, I have a date." John responded. He glanced back to the mirror, then back to Sherlock. "No reflection." he commented.
"Apparently so." he rolled his eyes and crossed his legs, "A date?"
"Yeah, you know when two people who like each other go out together."
Sherlock let out a loud 'Oh' then smirked, "So you're going out with Dr. Sawyer tonight. Where are you taking her?"
John fiddled with the material of his shirt while pouting his lips, "Is that really any of your business?" he questioned with a small sigh, "But, if you must know, we're going for dinner and a movie."
"Mm, dull" Sherlock sighed, "Predictable."
John grabbed his coat, "Well, really you have no say in this."
Sherlock smirked as John left the room to catch a taxi to go back to the hospital. To his surprise, he found Sherlock sitting in the taxi waiting.
"Barts Hospital please." John said to the taxi driver before lowering his voice to almost a whisper, "What are you doing?"
"Observing you?"
"What, why?"
Sherlock shrugged then looked out the window. "You said it before." he finally said, "Why you? What's so special about you? What is the connection between us."
Sherlock turned his head, eyes locked with John's who still couldn't help staring at him like he wasn't real, but there was a hint of curiosity underneath.
"Just wondering though, why are you doing this?"
John raised an eyebrow, "I'm sorry? What do you mean?"
"Going on a date" Sherlock sighed, "I mean, are you trying avoid me?"
John turned away for a brief moment, biting his bottom lip before he turned back to Sherlock. "Are you gonna be around all night?" he asked, ignoring Sherlock's question.
It was completely obvious that John was trying to avoid the topic of what was happening, so Sherlock decided to play along.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world."
