Words: 221
Rating: PG
Pairings : Sherlock/John (slash or friendship, depending on your goggles)
Warnings: none
Disclaimer: Not mine.
The door to Sherlock’s bedroom slams against the wall.
John stumbles over a pile of books on the floor, nearly falls onto the bed and groans.
“Sherlock, come on. Clothes!”
“Why don’t you make me?” Someone is bored. And a little rebellious.
“Really? You want to do this now?” Someone else is slightly exasperated.
“...”
“Ok. I play you for them.”
“What?” Intrigued now.
“Ever heard of strip poker?”
“Oh. Clever. What you get when you win is obvious. What happens when I win?”
“Logically I take one piece of clothing off.”
John is pretty good at poker. He wins the first game.
“Socks.”
“Boring.”
He wins the second game.
“Trousers.”
“You forgot...”
“No, I didn’t.”
Sherlock raises one eyebrow. John grins.
And then loses the third game. Sherlock beams.
“Shirt.”
John takes off his shirt.
Being topless doesn't sidetrack John at all when he has a goal. He wins the fourth game.
“Shirt.”
There are footsteps on the stairs and a voice from the kitchen. A second later Lestrade enters Sherlock's room.
“Are you read... What's going on here? John, where is your shirt?”
John grins, puts on his shirt and grabs their coats before he throws the blue scarf at Sherlock.
“Sherlock was refusing to get dressed. I played him for it. I lost once.”
“You guys are bizarre.”

atlinmerrick, who asked for a 221B with the boys playing strip poker. And while this might amaze you, I thought going for the obvious (porny) solution was boring. Shoker!I don't play poker, so I have no idea if John could be so much better than Sherlock.
Also, did you notice what piece of clothing John

Date: 2012-02-09 02:25 pm (UTC)I like how SOMEONE was bored and SOMEONE was frustrated. Toddler!Sherlock just cracks me up.
And then there's an activity page for the wee ones. "What piece of clothing did John ignore?"
The 221B pares down the action/dialogue and that really works here. Lestrade arriving at the strange scene made me giggle again esp. since any time he showed up, something weird would be going on.
My flist is slow today. I needed this.

quite deliberately. Oh well, it only remains for me to take my slash ones, then. I don't often use them, I'm not even sure they're still working. Damn.John stumbles over a pile of books on the floor, nearly falls onto the bed and groans.
“Sherlock, come on.”
I don't understand this "sorry no porn" tag. I think it's terribly hot.
A second later Lestrade enters Sherlock's room.
Lestrade is going to play too ? Whoah, it's getting hotter and hotter.
Also, did you notice what piece of clothing John forgot decided to ignore?
Yes. The garter. For socks.
Serious comment : I love it ! It's funny, smart and
pretty sexy. I strongly encourage you to carry on your conversations with Atlin, whether about kitchen furniture or board games. There's only a flaw in this fic, but, sorry, it's a huge one : the beginning is quite unrealistic. I mean, just think : Sherlock is naked and John wants him to get dressed. Read this sentence again, slowly. Come on, woman. Are you on drugs or something ?PS : I still don't know if my slash goggles are still working.

But still.

Date: 2012-02-26 09:02 pm (UTC)I think I would have made the same decision as John. If you HAVE to cover up those many, many, many centimeters of yumsome detective, at least allow yourself something to think about during the time it's covered up.
...
Oh, wait, sorry, I was thinking about those snug, tailored trousers with no pants underneath, forgot what I was doing.
Srsly, I enjoyed this and you rock, but neither of these is a surprise.
Communing with Atlin is always wise, she radiates Muse sparkles, I swear.
