I am holding a private party and require entertainment.

Music is a must. Theatre would be nice but I have low expectations from you all. Performing arts in general, really. I want class and culture.

Are we meant to be going together?

Who else would I go with?

Couple doesn't have to mean romantically linked. Just that we are paired off in the interest of social interaction.

That's fine. I was just... checking.

Didn't know if you'd already promised Evelyn and I'd be unfortunately left out of your shindig.

I had considered asking her in the absence of Philip but I thought you would disapprove.

Not disapprove, I'm not that petty.

But, ah, I am happy. That we're going together, I mean.

You were quite displeased when I suggested you see that Bela woman. I assumed it would be much the same issue. I'm glad I was right in my assumption that you would be pleased to attend with me.

You were telling me I should date Bela. And rather adamant about it, I might add. Bit different from escorting a very much taken Evelyn to a dance that you pulled together for her.

Not that we're... erm. Dating or anything officially. It's just. Different.

No, not officially. You're not gay after all.

I've never identified that way, no.

Do I confuse you or am I simply different? Or perhaps its closer to a sort of pride in ownership sort of thing.

What? "Ownership"? No.... No, nothing like that, Sherlock.

..."Ownership." Jeez...

...You want an explanation that badly?

I wouldn't say badly but I am interested to know.

And don't get tetchy over my word choice. You know what I mean.

You're... Yes, I suppose you are the exception.

But that's not to say you don't confuse me, too.

You're an exception because you're so different then anyone else I've had in my life and it shouldn't be this easy to just accept it and sometimes I can't but letting any of it go isn't an option.

[He doesn't know what the proper response to that is so it takes him a while but eventually he texts back.]

You are an exception for me as well. I'm not confused, perhaps too cognizant really, but you are forever my John regardless.

[He's surprised over the ease of the possessive term before his name--not to mention a bit giddy, which is embarrassing for a man his age--so his own response is awkward and eventual.]

Right. That's... that's good. That's great.

Uhm. So, is this party of yours formal or what?

[Sherlock accepts the change in conversation without missing a beat.]

Yes; black tie--not that I'm all that concerned with tie color or if ties are even worn but formal at any rate.

So... Would my dress uniform or a tux be more appropriate?

[...]

I don't think I've ever seen your dress uniform.

You haven't? Really?

I wouldn't mind wearing it if you don't think it'll stand out too much.

No, not at all. You've earned the right to wear it, might as well wear it proudly.

Alright then, deal. I'll wear it to this ball of yours.

I'm honestly shocked you've never gone through my box of military things before, Sherlock. Well. Maybe less shocked and more... touched, I guess.

You make it sound as though you expect I went through your things when I got bored. I hardly needed to go through your possessions to learn more about you.

Do you think the closet can get you your uniform or shall we look through the vendor stalls?

As if that'd be a gigantic leap on your part. But I appreciate it, even if it was more out of pride then respecting my space on the matter.

I'll give it a shot when I get back to my room. Might as well see if it still looks good, right?
