Today's prompt: winter

________________________________________________

Obedient to a fault


"John. Are you all right?"

"Apart from the fact that I can't breathe properly, I am fine."

"You say that as if it is my fault."

"You say that as if it isn't."

"I slipped."

"And decided to grab my shoulder for support but instead of steadying yourself you somehow managed to knock both of us down. And then you landed on top of me."

"You like it when I'm on top."

The weight of Sherlock’s surprisingly heavy body shifted, but did not move off. John chuckled and pushed at Sherlock without much success. Instead of moving to get up, he seemed about to settle in.

"Usually, yes. Not while we are lying in the middle of Regent's Park in a pile of snow. Get off. My butt is getting cold."

"John. Are your all right?"

"Apart from the fact that I can't breathe properly, I am fine."

"You say that as if it is my fault."

"You say that as if it isn't."

"I..."

"You just shagged me into the mattress and then collapsed on top of me."

"I merely felt the need to prove that you enjoy it immensely when I’m on top. And you told me to ‘get off’ earlier, which I thereby did. Plus, you’re warm now."

John hugged him close and laughed.

“Yeah. Especially my butt.”

Oh, I LOVE this! The dialogue had me howling on first read, but when you managed to so cleverly use the exact same phrases again I was rendered virtually speechless by dint of excessive giggling :D

It takes quite some skill to manage an effective echo in only 221 words - if I had a hat, it would be off to you, my dear!
