The next three days went by quickly and Friday afternoon after school, Sherlock stood outside waiting for John to get his overnight bag from his locker. As soon as he approached, he took his lover's hand and smiled at him, squeezing it. "Ready?"

John squeezed Sherlock's hand, slinging his bag over the opposite shoulder. "As I'll ever be," he said. As he had said to Sherlock before, it was one step closer to finally getting Moran the punishment he deserved. He was actually very ready.

Sherlock led them to the car where Mycroft was waiting and opened the door for his fiance before stepping inside himself. He held tightly to John's hand the whole way to his house, looking over at him and smiling nervously on occasion.

When they finally arrived, they dropped John's bag off in his bedroom before walking together to his father's home office where they would be meeting with the lawyer. Sherlock opened the door and found his father sitting on his desk, talking to a woman wearing two piece suit who was sitting in one of the chairs with a briefcase by her feet. They both stood as the boys entered.

"Sherlock, John... this is Helen Rodin, she will be the attorney representing you both." Helen stood and smiled, extending her hand.

"It's nice to meet you Sherlock, and you as well John. Shall we get started?" She gestured to the table in the corner of the room.

John tried to be as reassuring for Sherlock as possible while they were in the car, smiling back and rubbing his thumb over the back of his fiance's hand. When they finally came face to face with their lawyer, John smiled at her and shook her hand, waiting for Sherlock to do the same before he gently pulled him over to the table. He sat down side by side with Sherlock, keeping a tight hold to make sure that Sherlock knew he was there for him.

"Now..." Helen said and put her briefcase on the table before taking a seat herself, "I understand that only you will be testifying, John. As much as I wish that you both were..." She glanced over at Siger who gave her a stern look, "I have been informed not to push things."

She smiled nervously and cleared her throat, "well then... We're going to go over a few questions that I expect Sebastian's lawyer will ask you and some that I myself will ask. To begin with, I would like to talk about the first incident. John... How did it all start?"

John sighed, squeezing Sherlock's hand for his own support now. "Well, it was actually the first time that we met. Sebastian had gathered the rugby team around Sherlock and by the time I got there they had already knocked him to the ground. I stepped between them and he backed off, but not before almost breaking Sherlock's nose."

"I see..." Helen took out a notebook from her briefcase and scribbled notes in it while John talked. "And did he say why they had ganged up on Sherlock?"

John thought back to that day, trying to remember what dumb excuse Sebastian had given him. "He said something like, 'Freak thinks he's better than us'. That's how he refers to Sherlock." He felt a flare of anger at the thought and squeezed Sherlock's hand again, perhaps a bit too hard.

Sherlock patted the back of John's hand soothingly and half smiled at him. Helen nodded and took more notes, "okay, now... Tell me about the events leading up to the second attack on Sherlock."

"It was the next Monday," John said, looking down at the table. "We had decided not to hide the fact that we were together, but I suppose that Sebastian didn't like that. After school, he had one of our classmates draw me away while he surrounded Sherlock with the rugby team and beat him unconscious." He took a shaky breath before continuing. "I managed to get them away and take Sherlock to the hospital."

"How did you know to come back?" Helen said, brow furrowed, "Explain how they got you away from him..." Sherlock squeezed John's hand tighter, knowing she was bound to ask that question. He hadn't really heard the details himself of what happened while John was away with Mary.

John quirked his mouth. He hadn't wanted to have to say all the details, because Sherlock didn't know what had happened, but he should have known that they were going to want to hear everything. "Sherlock and I were about to leave when a girl, Mary Morstan, came up to us and asked if she could speak to me alone. She took me around a corner and...She kissed me." He turned away, not meeting Sherlock's or Ms. Rodin's eyes. "I pushed her off, of course, and then I heard Sherlock shouting and I ran back."

Sherlock frowned, geeze... what is with these girls trying to kiss my John? he thought. Ms. Rodin nodded and took more notes, "Alright, so you were able to get Sherlock to the hospital after the attack... Now, what happened the day he came after you?"

John let out a sigh of relief when Sherlock didn't say anything or have any sort of reaction to what he had said. He pressed on, and answered the next question. "Sherlock wasn't in because he was still recovering. I was eating lunch and Sebastian came over to me with some of the boys and started to pick on me. There was a bit of back and forth and then I was on the ground with him on top of me, punching me until I blacked out." He took a few deep breaths, almost able to feel the pain again. Stay strong, John. You're doing this for both of you.

Sherlock furrowed his brow in concern and laid a hand on John's shoulder. "John? Are you alright, love?" Siger stood from where he was sitting on the desk, "We can take a break if you need to," he offered.

John shook his head. "I'm fine. I don't want to stop." He smiled at the two Holmeses and then turned back to Ms. Rodin. "Please."

Helen looked back at Siger, who nodded for her to continue. She turned back to John, "Okay... Now we need to talk about the shooting. Start from the beginning. What were you doing before it happened?" Sherlock grabbed John's hand with both of his and smiled reassuringly at him.

John took a deep breath, Sherlock's support appreciated. "I had stayed over at Sherlock's and we had just woken up," he started, closing his eyes. "We were about to take a shower when Sebastian showed up. I don't even know how he got in the house, but he was holding a gun." John swallowed. It had been the worst day of his life, and it was painful to remember.

"I pushed Sherlock behind me, and Sebastian started shouting that we had ruined his life. He had been expelled and lost a scholarship because of the attack on me," he explained. "I...I tried to reason with him but...he pulled the trigger and..." John's eyes filled with tears, but he kept going. He needed to keep going. "Sherlock pushed me out of the way," he said, voice high pitched. He turned into his fiance's shoulder.

Sherlock kissed the top of John's head, "It's okay, love... It's alright," he soothed.

"I think that's enough," Siger said and crossed his arms.

"He needs to tell the rest of it. The jury will want to hear the whole story," Helen argued and turned to look at Mr. Holmes.

John let a few tears fall before pushing up to face the lawyer again. He wiped his eyes and then sniffed up a few times. "No. She's right. I have to finish." He needed to do this to make sure that Sherlock didn't have to testify too. He cleared his throat and pressed on.

"Sherlock pushed me away and got...hit instead. Sebastian ran off after that and I called for an ambulance. Luckily we made it in time and they were able to save him." John let one of his fingers trail to Sherlock's wrist, feeling his pulse, and it calmed him.

Helen finished taking notes and closed the notebook, "I think that should be enough for today. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon to run through questions the other lawyer might ask you." She stood and gathered her things together before holding her hand out towards the boys, "I look forward to helping you put this monster behind bars," she said and gave a sad smile.

After the lawyer had left and Sherlock's father went with her to walk her out, Sherlock wrapped his arms tightly around John. "Are you okay, love?" he murmured softly into his hair.

John let out a puff of breath, hugging Sherlock back and pressing his face into his fiance's neck. "Yeah...Yeah, I'm good." He inhaled deeply from his nose, breathing Sherlock in. "Actually this was good. I think I'll be able to keep my head better during the trial."

Sherlock pulled back far enough to look into John's eyes, "Tomorrow will be harder... The way the other lawyer asks the questions is never very kind. But, I'm sure father won't let Ms. Rodin get too carried away..." He was worried for his fiancé and stroked the side of his face, frowning. "I wish I wasn't such a coward and could testify... That way you wouldn't have to face this alone."

John took Sherlock's wrist in hand, holding it there so he could turn to kiss the palm of his hand. "You aren't a coward. There's nothing wrong with not wanting to talk about something that scarred you like that." He looked up at Sherlock and smiled, sliding his hand up to lace their fingers. "I'll be fine tomorrow. As long as you're there."

Sherlock smiled, "I'll be right beside you," he said softly and leaned in to kiss his fiancé on the lips. He kept it slow and loving, closing his eyes into it.

John returned the kiss with a smile. Everything would be fine. He would protect Sherlock from having to relive those memories and make sure that Moran never touched him again.

Sherlock pulled back and smiled at John, "I want to show you around the house," he said and stood, taking his fiance's hand. He led him down the hall and into a side room with a billiards table in the center of it. "This... is the game room." He pointed over to the corner, "mum insisted on installing those arcade games even though neither me or Mycroft were remotely interested."

John grinned, following Sherlock to the room and not expecting at all what he saw. There were arcade games all along the wall, the billiards table, a ping pong table, and even a big television with game consoles hooked up and a cabinet filled with games. "Sherlock...This is awesome! Why haven't you taken me in here before?" He went straight over to one of the arcade games, an older one that was one of his favourites when he was younger. "Wanna play me? Bet I can kick your scrawny little arse."

Sherlock smiled, glad to see John liked it. He walked over and stood beside the other boy at the game. "Hmm... you bet me, huh? What are the stakes, then?" He grinned and raised an eyebrow, this could definitely get interesting.

John turned to Sherlock and then gave him a sly grin. He'd meant it rhetorically, but this was fine with him. "If I win..." He looked Sherlock up and down, then leaned up to whisper in his ear. "I get to tie you up and do whatever I want with you."

Sherlock swallowed thickly and shivered, the implications of that were... fascinating. He nodded slowly, "Okay... and if I win?"

"Then you can do the same to me," John said with a wink. He then turned back to the game and started it up. It was a classic fighting game. John picked a character and then watched Sherlock with a grin.

Sherlock swallowed and then took one of the controls. He chose his character and the game began.
