JohnLock: A Whole New World

John Watson walked through the store, gathering food as he did daily to make dinner for himself and Sherlock. He walked through the aisles of fresh produce, his ear caught a familiar sound drifting through the air.

“I can show you the world,
Shining, shimmering, splendid.
Tell me, princess, now when did
you last let your heart decide?”

He recognized the lyrics, where from? He thought it over and eventually came up with the answer. It was the Disney movie, Aladdin. He main character Aladdin sings this song to the Princess Jasmine. But even though he knew what the song was, he had no clue where it was coming from.

He looked around him in the aisle and walked to look around the corners but he couldn’t spot the source of the music.

He decided to just continue shopping and enjoy the music. So that’s what he did as he hummed along with the tune.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sherlock held his phone up to his face, grumpy that John hadn’t tried finding the source of the music, which was his phone. Molly had suggested Sherlock be spontaneous if he wanted John’s attention. Molly had suggested asking John to dance. And after looking through Molly’s own iPod he found a song he didn’t hate. Not that he liked children’s movies either.

So Sherlock’s plan was to get John to look into the backroom of the store and find him, then he’d ask. Why a shop you ask? Sherlock had followed John all day and figured this was the most spacious place, their apartment was too cramped and everywhere else public seemed not right.

Sherlock sighed. He peeked out the door and saw John. “PSST.” Sherlock hissed, not being particularly secretive as he tried to be all day. John looked up.

“Sherlock? What are you doing here?”

Sherlock didn’t answer but waved for John to follow him into the room.

John set down his basket of food, so people wouldn’t think he was stealing, and followed the detective.

When he walked inside the room he looked at Sherlock for an answer. “What?” Sherlock said.

“Why are you here? I’m shopping.”

“Would you care to dance?” Sherlock stated bluntly.

“Ye- wait what? Sherlock I’m shopping! Why here this place isn’t a ballroom!”

Sherlock shrugged, his intentions remained a mystery. John sensed something odd but decided to roll with it. He was too curious to do otherwise.

“I don’t what you’re up to but alright.” He shyly took Sherlock’s hand and put the other on his broad shoulders. Sherlock smirked and wrapped an arm around John’s waist, pulling him closer. John squeaked and blushed but didn’t move away.

And as they held each other close they began swaying back and forth to the sweet Disney music ~
