Previous 221b: Coat me with your love


Today's prompt: pills

________________________________________________

A bitter pill to swallow


“How many did you take?”

“What?”

John, sprawled on the sofa like he was trying to imitate Sherlock, slowly opened one eye and looked at his lover - who had a rather insistent glare on his face.

“Pills, John. How many did you take?”

“Oh, you mean the paracetamol? I had a migraine, so I took four like I usually do.”

“It’s not para... Wait. You had a migraine? As in gone now?”

“Yes. Works every time.”

“It’s not paracetamol, John.”

“You have a halo.”

“Definitely not. Tell me how you’re feeling.”

“I’m feeling really good.”

“Mh.“

“What do you mean ‘it’s not paracetamol’? What did I take?”

“It’s an experiment.”

“That’s not an answer. What do the pills do?”

Sherlock kept silent and looked a little ashamed, which is usually not a good combination.

“Sherlock?”

Silence.

“Will there be pain?”

“No.”

“Will I get sick or unconscious?”

“No.”

“Then what?”

Silence.

“Sherlock.”

“They make you feel really good for a while, have some mild hallucinations and, um, get aroused. They obviously also get rid of a migraine.”

Twenty minutes after John experienced the third effect of the pills and got Sherlock to help with the problem (the least he could do), he was left with one question.

“Sherlock, what the hell was in those pills? I still have a boner!”

You appear to have left out the whole section regarding "helping John."

Also, John still has a boner. That's also upsetting. Frankly I am not sending you any more prompts until that army doctor finds relief and I get the details.

(Okay, I lied, I'll still prompt you but I has a boner sad. (I don't know what I mean either. (I just want to say boner like eighty times or something.)))

P.S. Adored, "You have a halo" — Sherlock would look pretty with a halo.

OMG, Atlin has a boner sad... this is an emergency!

Rally the troops - boners all round.

(Make mine a double)

Boners and halos

When you posted this I got an email with the subject 'Boners and halos'. Best subject line EVER! :D

I has a boner sad
I just had to jump around and wave my arms because I wanted to hug you so badly. I love you.

I'm sorry that I upset you. I will try to remedy that. *goes off to write a 221B about "helping John".*
