Today's prompt: home
________________________________________________
Cling Together
He can’t go back there right now. It’s too embarrassing.
One week after John kissed him for the first time and he already messed everything up.
He’d heard it often enough from suspects: “She was getting so clingy.” – “I couldn’t go anywhere without him, it drove me insane.” – “She just wouldn’t leave me alone.”
He swore to himself that if John ever loved him back, he would never be clingy. And yet he stood there this morning and couldn’t let go.
He had been lying on the sofa when John came down. Instead of making a bee-line to the kettle, he came over to the sofa and pressed a gentle kiss on Sherlock’s lips before wandering off into the kitchen.
Sherlock couldn’t help himself, he needed more of John so he walked up from behind and embraced John, pressing his whole body against him. John made a content noise so Sherlock held on, until John started to squirm. And then squirmed some more. And said his name.
Suddenly realising what he was doing, Sherlock let go and – with a feeble excuse – dashed off.
He feels rather stupid when he goes home after a few hours walking around London to explain himself and John shakes his head, smiles gently and says that he just wanted to turn around to hug Sherlock back.
Next 221b: Keep Cool

AN:
Today's prompt was 'home'.
Trust Sherlock to get everything wrong in the beginning.
This prompt was not really accommodating, I started a few things and every single one turned into an angst fest or another take on ‘things that suddenly become meaning after Sherlock met John’ and I’ve done that a lot in the past few weeks, so I wanted something else. So I thought about someone not wanting to go home. And this happened.

I understand that but be sure nobody will hold it against you for not giving us another of these fics!
P.S. Could you please tell Sherlock that if one day John is not there when he's in the mood for clinging I volunteer. I also volunteer if John needs to cling to someone and Sherlock is busy elsewhere. I'm a very altruistic person.

You deserve it.

Date: 2012-06-23 06:18 pm (UTC)Oh yes. Let's see if I can't come up with some more over the year, shall we? :D
Or do you have some ideas you would like to see in a 221B?
no subject
Date: 2012-06-23 08:25 pm (UTC)Thank you, but I prefer to be surprised! :-) Not to mention that I'm already harassing you with my "Tell us more about this kiss!" and my "I want you to write about the proposal again!"
not to mention my very subtle allusions to your WIPs.no subject
