If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen


John woke from his nap and blinked into the dim afternoon light in the bedroom.

After a few minutes he got up and padded into the kitchen in just his boxers and his shirt to get something to drink. Sherlock was sitting at the table, doing some kind of experiment.

John got himself a glass of water and hopped onto the kitchen counter to watch Sherlock work. It was a cold autumn afternoon and rain was running down the window. Thanks to Sherlock’s experiment the kitchen was wonderfully warm though.

After a while Sherlock looked up and smiled at John. John loved those smiles because they were rare and very private. He felt something warm unfold in his stomach and licked his lips invitingly.

Sherlock blinked and his smile turned to a grin before he got up and stepped between John’s legs.

The counter was so high that Sherlock, despite being tall as he was, was suddenly a tiny bit shorter than John and the angle of their kiss was completely different.

John was still trying to decide if it was sweet or hot when Sherlock went to his toes and took control of the kiss and a wave of arousal swept through John.

Sherlock grabbed his hips and pulled him forward and John dropped his glass with a loud bang.




Next 221b: Running with scissors

The prompt was 'tall'.

What is it about Sherlock going to his toes that causes the bitey need to bite?

(The private smile ain't so bad either...)

"The counter was so high that Sherlock, despite being tall as he was, was suddenly a tiny bit shorter than John and the angle of their kiss was completely different."

What a lovely image! Warm and fuzzy feeling everywhere ^.^

Ah, the endless delights of the height difference! If you can't stand the hot, get out of this LJ. :D

And once more you proof that there isn't really a need for fanart for your stories, because you paint pictures with your words. (nevertheless I wouldn't mind a visual *g*)

Oh, you had me at 'in just his boxers' :D

Beyond that, I agree with other commentors - the counter scene is a glorious image and one which surely merits immortalisation in art and subsequent display as an Item Of Outstanding Natural Beauty...

Mine is an optimistic heart.
