Sherlock going to an office party at the surgery with all of John’s doctor friends there, and it’s the first time they’ve gone anywhere as a couple that isn’t with close friends, and Sherlock isn’t sure about how to behave as a couple, and he isn’t sure how much John’s told his work people about their relationship, and he doesn’t want to embarrass John, so when they walk in, he’s like two feet away and not touching him and then another doctor comes up to John and says, “John, I thought you were bringing a date, where is she?” And John very proudly takes Sherlock’s hand and says, “He’s right here. This is my boyfriend, partner…everything. This is my Sherlock.”

And all Sherlock’s insecurities melt away as John’s looking at him with affection and adoration just beaming out of his eyes, and he spends the evening just holding John’s hand and letting John be the star of the show for once.
