Today's prompt: solar system

________________________________________________


Seeing stars


Void. Emptiness.

He is floating in it.

Space is huge and mostly empty. To find another planet like earth where humans live is damn near impossible. That humans manage to find someone that completes them should be equally unlikely, he thinks.

He has felt pretty much like a lone gas giant for his whole life and now he suddenly feels like he is a planet orbiting a sun.

There even are others, moons and satellites, that come by occasionally and then move away again, some more often than others.

And good God, where are all these space analogies coming from? He doesn’t even care about the solar system.

Although John managed to get him to learn about the stars and their constellations at one point by taking him out on the roof one clear summer night where he placed his hand on Sherlock’s cock and refused to move it at all unless Sherlock named the stars correctly. He pretty much shouted the last two into the dark.

But he is not on the roof now and John’s hand is not anywhere near his groin. It’s on his arm, stroking softly.

John is talking.

“Hello, love. Whatever you experimented with knocked you out cold. You fell and hit your head. You might feel a bit woozy, but you’ll be fine. Welcome back.”

Poor baby Sherlock.

Well now, I call that a successful teaching-method!
Although, one wonders if Sherlock's mastermind copes well with it, when his thought circle around in orbits when he knocked himself out :)

Naughty John! And now everytime Sherlock things about the solar system he gets an erection. Pavlov again, right?
