Ship: Sherlolly

A/N: Originally posted on my main Tumblr, this was inspired by a gifset about Sherlock warning Lestrade that his date wasn't the right one for him (from The Six Thatchers).


Molly stared after the heartbroken detective as he left the lab with John. "I truly feel for Greg." She turned to Sherlock, who was pulling on his Belstaff coat. "I still can't believe that you were right about Shumway's secret family!"

Sherlock gave her a mildly disappointed look. "Come on now, Molly. I'm a detective."

"But you were only messing with him when you told him that!" she retorted with a raised eyebrow.

He stood in front of her and gave her a cheeky smile. "I was still right. She wasn't the one for him." He winked at her before giving her a brief kiss on the lips.

"You don't believe in The One though, do you?"

He tilted his head in thought. "No, not really. But then again, I have you."

She slung her arms around his neck. "Are you saying that I'm The One for you?"

His smug grin turned into a tender one and he lovingly gazed down at her. "Yes, yes, I am."

She smiled brightly and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him. "I love you."

"And I love you." He slowly pulled away from her, as if he was reluctant to leave her. "I should solve this case in a few hours. See you at home?"

"Yep!"

He stole another kiss, on her cheeks this time, before running out after Lestrade and John.
