Date Night - Part One

FinxRosexLupine

Main Characters: Finlay Holmes, Rose Woods, Lupine Clawe

Secondary Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Liane Felton, Francis the Butler

Setting: New York City, present day

"How do we know this won't be a complete disaster and end in a lot of devastation?"

"We don't, John. Which is why we are going to be on alert." Sherlock replied, folding up a white shirt and waistcoat into a case ready to pose as staff if needed. John sighed, wanting no part of this.

Upstairs, Fin was getting dressed for the date, with Liane sat on his bed giving advice about his attire which he was reluctantly taking on.

"Look knowing Rose it won't be something crazy, don't over do it but the shirt is a good choice over jeans and a t-shirt. At least try."

"I'm only listening to you because you happen to know more about this than me."

"You know you love me really." She grinned, flicking his blazer. Finally he was ready, dressed in a black suit, oxblood red shirt, black tie and smart black trousers. Liane pulled a face of mock surprise, grinning.

"You look lovely, I'm sure Rose will be head over heels for you."

"Good. That's the desired effect, I would hope."

The doorbell rang sharply and Francis, the butler, went to answer the door and in stepped a very nervous Rose, her hair tied back in a plaited updo, dramatic makeup and a long red dress on paired with her signature red coat and heels.

"Miss Woods, you look beautiful."

"Thanks Francis, hi Sherlock."

"Are you absolutely sure you want to do this?"

"Positive. They need to try and connect a little if Fin and I are going to continue to date."

"I just don't want you or him to get hurt."

"She knows the rules..." Rose offered, still unsure but sticking to her word.

Fin came down the stairs and his gaze landed on Rose, a smile spread across his face.

"Rose..you look beautiful."

"Thanks. You look lovely, Fin."

"The makeup is very dramatic?"

"Well, Lupine helped with it..."

Fin's smile dropped, his eyes full of concern as her hurried forward.

"Is she controlling you? Rose, are you alright?"

"Fin, tonight's date isn't...for you and I. It's for you and...her."

"What?!"

"Don't freak out! Basically, now that we are dating, Lupine has had little time to connect with you and well, I thought it would be a good idea for you to try and talk with her and spend time with her. She is part of me, technically, and this could mean she's nicer to you in future?"

"So...you haven't planned the date?"

"No. She has."

Fin stepped backwards for a second, taking a moment to process the news of learning he would be spending the night with someone who has actively tried to kill him on many occasions. Lupine was not Fin's favourite person despite her being a small part of his girlfriend Rose. He trusted her the least out of everyone he knew, any time he was forced to be in her vicinity always ended in disaster but since his girlfriend was asking so nicely and clearly this had all been planned ahead of tonight, he had no choice but to go ahead with the night.

"I'm sorry for lying Fin."

"It's fine, Rose. And you are right, maybe we would be able to spend more nights together if I can connect with..Lupine."

Rose smiled and took a moment to steady herself before letting her alter ego, the she-wolf who protected her while causing her torment internally, took control of the body.

It took a few seconds of Fin watching his girlfriend struggle as the control was relinquished and he saw those dark eyes, the slightly animal nose and the sharp teeth, highlighted by the dramatic eye makeup and lipstick on her face, the red coat giving Fin some very vivid flashbacks to darker times as a smirk spread across her face.

"Ready for our date, Holmes?"

"I am not doing this because I like you, I'm doing this because I love Rose."

"Blegh! Okay we're leaving, don't call us unless someone dies or is actively dying, let's go Holmes."

Fin gave one last pleading gaze as Lupine dragged him out of the door, watching his own brother and partner wave him off.

"You think she'll try to kill him?"

"If she does, we'll be there to stop it."

"God you need a social life Sherlock." Liane retorted, heading upstairs for the night.

Will Fin and Lupine ever get along? Found out in Part 2 - The Restaurant next!

An interesting thing seems to happen when you play Animal Crossing right after you finish seeing the latest Star Wars movie.

No. Absolutely not. I think it is a cute ship and I was there for most of TFA and then switched to Reylo the last half. I was also a StormPilot fan until FinnRose but I like them both honestly.

But... I also think it would be really nice to nodd to the original trilogy by making Finn (obviously crushing on Rey) end up as best friends and for someone to end up with the cocky pilot. Yes Damrey fans, if I can’t have reylo I am think That ship would be a nice nodd to leia and Han. Or vice versa to my stormpilots out there ;)

As it stands I think my favorite ships are:

1. Reylo

2. Finnrose (rose tells him she loves him and she is too much of a cinnamon roll for me to want to ship stormpilot more than finnrose knowing it may break her heart T-T)
