Mini Crack Fill: Episode #4b anonymous August 20 2011, 02:46:54 UTC
The next morning, with only a half hour until the runway show, John gives in and accepts Sally’s offer for help. He knows that Nina was right but he can’t scrap the idea now, it’s too late. Sally gleefully stitches a sleeve on while John finishes pressing off the trousers. In between styling his model’s hair and makeup and readjusting a finicky button, Sherlock repeatedly throws nasty looks at John’s workstation. Each time John feels a shiver run up his spine, whirling around just in time to catch the back of Sherlock’s head. They have not spoken to each other since Sally swooped in.

“Your boyfriend is jealous,” Sally whispers with a grin, leaning in close and pointing to where Sherlock is now frantically tossing pairs of shoes over his shoulder-trying to find the right one for his model.

“He’s not-we-Sally, please, there are more important things right now,” John sighs, snatching away the finished blouse and handing to his model.

“Oh my god, you guys would be like the cutest couple,” the model coos as she wriggles into the blouse, careful not to dishevel her hair or smudge her makeup. “He’s like all crazy energy and you’re so sweet and calm.” She laughs loudly, bending to encircle John in a half hug just as Tim calls them to the runway.

After the runway show, John is just relieved to pass in the middle of the pack. He shuffles back to the green room with the other designers, wondering how he managed to skate by with a poorly constructed but ambitiously designed garment.

Perhaps Sherlock was right when he said they liked to play favourites. At least John, and usually his designs, was well liked by the judges. Unlike Sherlock, who constantly seems to be at odds with either Nina or Michael or both.

“So who do you think is top and bottom?” Dimmock prompts the room. The unanimous decision is that Sherlock is, much to most of their chagrin, definitely in the top.

While the judges discuss, the six designers file back into the green room. Sherlock perches on the arm of the couch next to John.

“Everyone thinks you’ll win.” John looks up, leaning his elbow on Sherlock’s thigh and grinning like a proper idiot.

“Nina said she wouldn’t change a thing.”

Sherlock wins his first challenge.

He comes strutting into the green room and John knows immediately. Bounding off the couch, John pulls Sherlock into a tight hug. Preoccupied with excitement and the warmth of Sherlock’s arms encircling his waist, John misses the ice cold, wildly possessive glare aimed directly at Sally.

“I won.”
