atlinmerrick.Previous 221b: Don't Lay a Finger on Him
Today's prompt: coffee
________________________________________________
Served
“Black. Two sugars.”
It always ends with that. It usually starts with “John. Coffee.” There never is a ‘please’ or a ‘if you don’t mind.’
And suddenly, enough is enough.
“Granted, I make your drinks most of the time. And your food. And I clean. And we are English. But I am not your bloody butler!”
Sherlock has the decency to look up from whatever he is doing on his laptop. But then he just quirks an eyebrow and somehow that makes everything worse.
“I am done with taking your orders. Would it kill you to say ‘please’ or ‘thank you’?”
“John...”
“No. I need some air.”
When John comes back, Sherlock is standing next to the door, a worried look on his face. John has calmed down and is about to apologise, when Sherlock presses his forehead against John’s.
“Don’t ever think that again. I don’t take you for granted. I never will.”
***
Sherlock still doesn’t say ‘please’ or ‘thank you’ when John brings him his coffee. But he kisses him. Every time. Sometimes on the lips, sometimes his hand, sometimes on his head.
John never told Sherlock (he probably knows it anyway), but whenever they are separated and John misses Sherlock, he takes coffee instead of tea.
And he takes it the way Sherlock does.
Two sugars. Black.

This is so incredibly moving and I loved how Sherlock kept being Sherlock but added something, something special, something for John.

This is so John, but gaah, DON'T!
“Don’t ever think that again. I don’t take you for granted. I never will.”
Awww. Actually John didn't say Sherlock took him for granted, but Sherlock understood what was behind his words.
Sherlock still doesn’t say ‘please’ or ‘thank you’ when John brings him his coffee. But he kisses him.
Awww again. This is SO much better. And of course it can only urge John to make more and more coffees. :D
whenever they are separated and John misses Sherlock, he takes coffee instead of tea
It reminds me of Livia's Coffee with Sugar. And reminding me of Livia's art is always a good thing!
It's a very lovely, tender and moving 221B. It's even better than angry sex! :D I also like that the last words are more or less the same than the first ones.
You forgot the "s" in ends, in It always end with that. :-)

I hope you'll forgive me for reading two interpretations into this last one... just for a bit of variety, you understand?

The first and last three words were there from the beginning, I just had to put a story in-between.
