: “One of them kisses another man under the mistletoe at the Yard’s holiday party and the other gets jealous.” (400 words)
In the beginning, Sherlock was not sure.
But now he knows. David, the – admittedly attractive – new policeman at the Yard, is interested
in John … He sneaks around John, with a half-full glass of champagne in his hand, which he
always seems to forget completely when John returns his attention.
What clearly happens too often … Glances seem to be getting longer. Stay attached to eyes and lips. Sherlock’s
disbelief and horror grow while he’s watching the spectacle.
He is helpless. Unable, to do anything against this. And what would I do about it anyway … He does not

“Everything alright, Holmes?” Rage rises in Sherlock. “YES!” Obviously his answer is loud enough. David immediately hurries back inside. John clears his throat nervously.
“You … you did not like me kissing him, did you?” Sherlock does not answer. He feels exposed. John scratches his neck. “To be honest … I did that because I thought –
hoped – you’d become, uhm, a bit jealous.” “What?” Sherlock asks in astonishment. John swallows. “Well … sometimes I have a certain feeling … but then I
think I’m wrong and …” “You’re not wrong,” Sherlock says quickly. Can it be … “Oh.” John smiles. “Well … uhm, have you ever kissed under a
mistletoe?” “No. But it would be a pleasure for me to experience this with you for the
first time.” “Alright then, come on …”
