Previous 221b: Anticipation

________________________________________________

The Perfect Incentive


John tried to refuse. He really did. He didn’t really care what other men did, but he wasn’t.

Oh no. Even if Sherlock asked nicely. Said ‘Please’. And ‘It’s for a case, John.’
John H. Watson was not to be persuaded.

Except of course he was.

It took Sherlock just short of forty minutes before he came up with the perfect incentive.

‘If you’re not going to do it, I will.’

The man re-entering ten minutes later was still clearly Sherlock but Lord did his face look different with make-up: kohl turning his eyes more cat-like, a smudge of colour making his lips look even more lush and his cheekbones...

It took all that John had to not just grab his partner and take him right there on the kitchen table. Or the floor. Or, really, any horizontal surface. Vertical might be fine as well.

So yes, John knew instantly that he was not going to let Sherlock walk into a gay bar like that, be there a serial killer or not.

This, by implication, meant that he himself was doing it.

Had he known that Sherlock’s reaction to John wearing make-up was going to be equally enthusiastic, he wouldn’t have bothered trying to refuse. Because that night was the night Sherlock pounded into him so hard they broke the bed.

Ha, that was excellent! I could just picture everything perfectly. Very well done!

This 221B brims with Atlin-ness. First she gives you the prompt, then there's kohl on Sherlock's face, then a broken bed... Next step: high-heel shoes. Be strong and fight, Anarion!

Don't be strong and don't fight, John!

*reads the last sentence*
Let it be quite clear that I see nothing wrong in a 221B brimming with Atlin-ness. More, please.

I think something's on the blink with the links: when you click on Previous 221b: Anticipation you end up at A wordless prayer. (Not that I'm complaining.) It's the same with The Woes of Wooing: when you click on Previous 221b: Candle you end up at Over the hills. Don't ask. :D

Thank you sweetie! All fixed now! :)

Not that I want to give things away here, but can I just say 'Way too late'? ;)

You wrote porn! And now I want an artist to draw the boys with makeup. Oh no!

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, it's almost porn. ;)

Fanart would be nice, I've never had anyone draw something for me. *schnüff*

Oh, you adorable boys. Yeah, best to keep Sherlock from looking any hotter, John. No telling what will happen.
