12 Days of Sherlolly Drabbles
Help a Girl Out?
“So, what do you say, Sherlock? Help a girl out?”
Sherlock blinked, the sound of his name enough to draw him out of his mind palace. Molly had been filling out paperwork when he’d arrived at Barts, and he’d settled in to reorganize a few things while he waited for her to finish. She must have been talking to him for awhile though, because she was clearly expecting some sort of response from him. “Pardon?”
“Barts Christmas do? Dinner and dancing?”
He shouldn’t have been surprised, it had been obvious that Molly had a crush on him for months even though he had gone to pains to pretend not to notice. He had thought she’d given up after the coffee thing. “I’m, uh, flattered but-“
“What? Oh God, no.” Molly shook her head with a nervous giggle. “I think you misunderstood me, I was asking if you’d be willing to meet Jonathan in X-Rays. Maybe let me know if he’s got a secret wife or a boyfriend he never talks about?”
He should feel relieved, shouldn’t he? So why didn’t he? Why did he suddenly want to dig up every dirty secret this Jonathan had? “Yeah, I can do that.”
