But also imagining, Sherlock playing a looping piece where it could go on for a long time if he so chooses to keep it in the loop of how it was written. And Mycroft also knows the piece so if he was so inclined he could join in or carry on from where Sherlock ends.

NOW: With Sherlock playing the piece at Mycroft's home outside of London, and it has the soft effect of pulling Mycroft and Greg out of their seats, setting down wine and beer on coasters, and stepping close to each other to join hands and bodies to enjoy a little quick step. Teasing and flirting with each other. Making the other flush with pleasure and delight.

And soon it begins a bit of a trade off when Mycroft bows out after a few goes around the 'parlor', gesturing to John for the man to take his place with Greg. And John being the sweet softie he is apologizes because he still has two left feet even though Sherlock taught him how to dance.

It's here Greg concedes to being the following steps, letting John take on the only role he barely knows. But it's when they hear the piano joining Sherlock do they realize what's happening. Their date day/night, has turned into something so romantic and lighthearted. Greg even gets a little surprise when John can and does dip him a bit. Warm laughter filling the living space.

Sherlock looks to Mycroft and nods to him to go for another spin, this time with John as Greg needs to sit down for a moment and watch how their partners dance. And even though he's much taller than John they still manage to look decent. Cracking smiles and teasing at the expense of John's fumbling and occasionally having to look at his feet.

Soon enough Mycroft steps back again and goes for his wine, before settling at the Piano again, picking up the song so Sherlock can have a twirl with the pair. With John it's much the same, clumsy sort of but sweet, even with a stepped on toe. Little snorts and giggles. And then it's a toss up with Greg.

"Lead or follow, Sunshine?"

and it has Sherlock putting up his hands in the leading position, having Greg step into it easily, and slip into the count of the music, a bit more dramatic like what Mycroft and Greg were doing. Sherlock loved showing off to them, even though they're all together. Little flairs of fancy.

It's not too long that they dance together before Greg feigns the need to sit or be dizzy. But once he's down onto the sofa next to John he starts humming in time, having picked up the general melody of the song. Having played guitar when he was younger he knew what the timing was.

Mycroft stopped playing and looking to Sherlock's outstretched hand he takes it, looking to the two who are now keeping time for them. Mycroft leads this one, gentle turns but stiff and proper form as if it were a ballroom waltz.

Soon enough the look of the two dancing takes Greg and John's breath away and the song leaves quietly, the Holmes boys slowing down too and smiling at the other two. Dancing and sharing their musical prowess with each other is definitely a good date day/night
