Previous 221b: A magic touch


Today's prompt:

________________________________________________


Tell me true (5/?)


“Tell me about your first love.”

“Why?”

“I told you about mine.”

Sherlock looked thoughtful for a few minutes before he started speaking.

“She… I fell in love at first sight. She was wonderful. Everything I had missed.”

If John was taken aback by the fact that Sherlock was talking about a woman, he didn’t show it.

“My parents didn’t approve, of course. She was too ordinary, too dirty, too loud. Not French enough probably.”

“What was her name?”

“London.”

John didn’t laugh, didn’t scoff. He nodded and that was what made him perfect. He understood.

“What about a human one?” he asked gently, like he feared there might never have been one.

“He… I fell in love at first sight, although I didn’t know it then. He was wonderful. Everything I had missed my entire life.”

Sherlock leaned over to press a soft kiss on John’s lips.

John leaned back and grinned at him, “Would your parents approve? I’m probably too ordinary and not French enough either.”

“You excel at French kissing though.”

John laughed out loud and leaned back in to prove his worth. With his tongue. And then his hands.

30 minutes later, after Sherlock had stopped panting, he smugly finished the conversation with “For that I gladly live with the fact that you are not very bourgeois.”

Aw. That's downright soppy coming from Sherlock! He must love John very much indeed. :)

Awwaawwawwwaa, this is such a brilliant one! All the feels and all the wit - perfect :)

Awww, how sweet. Definitely another favourite!
Besides, I love London and the boys. And in both cases it was love at first sight.

So many of these are wonderful, all equal, but this, uh, this is a bit more equal than others. So elegantly done, the "She..." and the "He..." and the French and all of it. It's wonderful. I am so very much rec'ing this on Tumblr this week!

And that's one of the reasons we love John so much too. Because he helps us understand Sherlock.

Awwwwwwwww. Love it.

John didn’t laugh, didn’t scoff. He nodded and that was what made him perfect. He understood.
Aww. Did I ever tell you I adore your John?

“What about a human one?” he asked gently, like he feared there might never have been one.
What do you mean, feared? *clings to her head-canon*

“He… I fell in love at first sight, although I didn’t know it then. He was wonderful. Everything I had missed my entire life.”
Sherlock leaned over to press a soft kiss on John’s lips.
*sighs happily* Did I ever tell you I adore your fluff?

I love this one. I love the fact that John is Sherlock's first love, the way Sherlock talks about London, the atmosphere of intimacy and tenderness, and honestly it's hard not to love a fic whose tags are "fluff", "kissing", "love" and "sex". :D

Nevertheless, I'm sorry but I think Sherlock's parents were right. I think he should look for someone a bit more French. *tries to look innocent *
