swissmargTitle: The Baker Street Nativity Advent Calendar (20/24)
Author:

Prompter: Self
Rating: G
Word count: Every installment has 221 words (on my computer)
Characters: John, Molly
Timeline: At the beginning of chapter 12
Disclaimer: This is a transformative work inspired by the BBC television series Sherlock, created by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, and the 2009 movie Nativity! from Mirrorball Films.
Summary: This is a series of 221b drabbles set in and around The Baker Street Nativity and will make very little sense without having read that first. These drabbles may also contain spoilers for the main story. They are not posted in any particular order, and will jump around in time. I will try to give you some idea of where each drabble fits within (or before or after) the main story in the 'Timeline' field in the header. This series has not been beta read.
"And?" Molly asked eagerly when John came over.
He leaned against the table, his arms folded. "No. I mean, we..." He exhaled heavily. "He invited me over. We had dinner, but it ... I don't think he's interested. Like that. Which is fine."
She could have screamed. Clearly, someone needed to beat some sense into them both. "He's interested. I think he just doesn't know how to go about it," she said tactfully.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, he's never dated anyone, in all the time I've known him."
"Maybe he's kept it quiet."
That really wasn't the case, but she wasn't going to argue it. "Maybe."
"It doesn't matter anyway. Like I said, if he just wants to be friends, I'm fine with that. Honoured, in fact. I have the feeling most people don't appreciate him."
"It's not that; it's that he doesn't let most people appreciate him." She should know. She'd appreciated the hell out of him for years. But she knew it wasn't just that he was gay. It wasn't even just her.
"Yeah," John said, chuckling. "I kind of get that."
Just then, Sherlock appeared in the door to the teachers' lounge, looking around. Looking for John. She nudged her chin in his direction. "There he is."
John turned around, his face pinkening in an unmistakeable blush.

Love that Molly knows Sherlock so well and is trying to help the two of them. :)
