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.

Fourteen: What the Children Think

Jade beckoned her classmates closer, then confided in a stage whisper, "My brother saw Mr Watson and Mr Holmes last night, and they were kissing!"

On top of the general chorus of 'eww's, Alfie screwed up his face in disgust. "What, on the mouth?"

"Of course on the mouth, what do you think, on the knee?"

"You mean a quick one, like when you have to say hi to your gran, or with their arms round each other and really long like in the movies?"

"Really long."

There was another chorus of 'eww's.

"I'm never going to kiss anyone," Alfie vowed.

"You have to for the play," Saffron pointed out.

"Mr Watson said we don't have to."

"But Mary and Joseph got married and kissed, and we're all pretending to be Mary and Joseph, so we're supposed to," Preeti insisted.

"Do you think they're going to get married?" Bob piped up.

"Mary and Joseph?" Alfie asked.

"No, dummy, Mr Holmes and Mr Watson."

"They can't, they're two boys," Ollie objected.

"Two boys can get married," Jade said. "Didn't you see that video on YouTube where they all danced in the DIY shop?"

"Ooh yeah, that was cool!" Saffron squealed. "Maybe we can all dance so Mr Holmes can ask Mr Watson to marry him!"

The boys agreed enthusiastically: "That'd be boss!"

Alright, I knew their students were secretly Johnlock shippers :)

Of course, everyone can see it. ;)

Ooooh, I approve of those children! :D Glad they got past the "ewwwww"ing. I want to see Sherlock propose to John, too!!!

I think that kissing is always 'ew' at that age (has nothing to do with the gender of the kissers), but marriage is fine because that just means dressing up and eating cake. And dancing, of course, is always fun. :D
