Day 27: On one of their birthdays
John was 35 today. Even as a kid John had never made quite a big deal about birthdays. It was simply just another day to him. Of course he didn't expect Sherlock to remember his birthday, he especially didn't expect him to get him anything, and that was okay. So naturally he wasn't surprised when Sherlock didn't say a work to him before work, and gave no indication of caring in the least bit.
"John! You're home, great, come on!" Sherlock shouted jumping off the couch. John smiled, maybe he did remember? "Where are we going?" John asked. "Lestrade just phoned, new case" "Oh. Okay then let me just put the milk away." John said walking into the kitchen. "I already bought milk today." Sherlock stated, shoving his hands in his pockets and walking down stairs. John set the milk on the table and followed Sherlock out the door. "So where are we going?" he questioned.
"Out."
"Yes but where?"
"Dinner."
"I thought you said this was a case?"
"Don't be stupid John, that's part of the case."
"Oh."
"You're upset with me."
"No I'm not it's just. It's nothing forget it."
The cab pulled up to a nice looking restaurant and the boys both got out, Sherlock paying the cabbie, as they walked in they were greeted by a lady at a podium "Good evening gentlemen, name?" "Holmes. Sherlock Holmes." Sherlock replied scanning the room. "You made reservations?" John asked a tad confused. "At a place like this obviously." he replied nonchalantly as a waiter led them to a table.
"So what are we doing here?" John asked still confused.
"I told you John dinner."
"Yes but how does this have anything to do with a case?"
"Really John do try to keep up, you are aware of what day it is correct?"
"My birthday?"
"Precisely, now did you honestly think that I would forget your birthday?"
"I just didn't think you really cared."
"John don't be an idiot, you are my boyfriend correct?"
"Yes."
"Then I obviously 'care' now come on you're ruining it, lets order."
John smiled.
"So you're paying for this then? I'm not going to end up with a bill?"
"Of course not."
"This isn't some experiment is it? This isn't the whole coffee thing again is it?"
"John please."
"Okay" he laughed. "Okay, I trust you."
John and surprisingly Sherlock both ordered their food, and had a great time. Maybe he had a new reason to look forward to birthdays now.
