Hey, hoped you guys liked how I began the JohnLock:)

I really do appreciate every single one of your views, feel free to review and comment, I am starting to run out of pre-written chapters, and I'm working on another story (will share soon) so updates may slow down soon.

Chapter 6 (New Year's Eve)

For one reason and another, John had hardy seen Sherlock since the night of the party...and the kiss. Of course they saw each other in the last week of school, but he was so busy with Christmas preparations, and Sherlock was apparently on one of his projects, so they didn't see much of each other afterwards. But what worried John was what happened on the last day of school.

Sherlock came into class, looking utterly crushed, and this naturally concerned John considering he'd been happy for the previous few days. When John confronted him about it, Sherlock miserably stated "I got a call from my brother, Mycroft, my parents want me home over Christmas"

"Well, that's good isn't it?"

"Christmas in our household is never good John, but it's the first nicety they've extended to me since, you know. I can only hope that they're moving on too and accepting me and what happened"

"Exactly, and I know you're not often one for emotions Sherlock, but don't you miss them?"

"Of course I do John, but I'm just so scared. You didn't see the look of disappointment and disgust they gave me"

"If you don't go you'll never know" John persuaded, the sooner this was sorted, the sooner Sherlock would feel better, but he knew it was difficult and complicated "but if it's really getting you down then you can come to mine, Harry's bringing Clara, so you'll be more than welcome too"

"Thank you John, but I think you're right, I need to know where I stand with them" They hugged and left school feeling hopeful.

Sherlock was due back any time now, as they were meeting at John's before going to a New Year's Eve party. At precisely 8pm, there was a knock on the door and Harry yelled "John, your boyfriends here!". Sherlock then heard a rather loud "Ow, that hurt, you prick" just before John opened the door with a smiling face.

"Harry's here then"

"Didn't need your super-brain for that one." John chuckled "We best go upstairs". They both went up to John's familiar bedroom, which was relatively plain but still homely. "So how was it back home?" he asked as they sat down beside each other on his bed.

"Tedious. Christmas dinner was just one long awkward silence. They're trying, I understand that but..."

"But what?" John stroked Sherlock's hair of his face, sensing the down turn in conversation and wanting to be of some comfort.

"I'll always be a disappointment to them. For what I did and what was done to me. I'll never be as successful as them, or Mycroft"

"Sherlock, you're brilliant, and if they can't see that, then maybe you should leave them behind for good, because you're spectacular" Again, John hadn't intended to be so forward, but it just felt right.

"We should go to this thing" Sherlock said hesistantly

The party was nothing special, the usual drunken New Year's Eve mess. Sherlock was happy , he could relax and have fun with John and just be himself, which after spending time in the strict etiquette of home, was the the best feeling in the world. It was getting close to midnight and John and Sherlock were outside getting some fresh air, and they could hear the countdown beginning inside. "John, what we've had these past few months has been brilliant"

"Yeah, it has hasn't it" John agreed

"So I was hoping that you could be my midnight kiss, because I wanna spend the next year with you...so will you..be my midnight kiss?"

"Gladly"

They held each other close and as the fireworks burst in the air above them, they kissed deeply but sweetly.

"So we kissed again last night, but I'm straight"

"Correct" Sherlock agreed as he snaked his arm around John's waist

"I told you, I like you, but this is new" John explained nervously not wanting to offent Sherlock, he liked where this was going but, was worried it was too much too fast.

"Every moment is new, and an opportunity to learn. You taught me about sentiment, let me prove that. John, will you be my boyfriend?"

"Yes of course" he reinforced his statement by slowly and gently pressing their lips together "but Sherlock, can we just keep this between us for now" Sherlock understood his request, no matter how accepting the environment you're in, this can still be a hard thing to come to terms with within yourself.
