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!”

I love this - partly because I was afraid it was going to be angsty when I saw the title and read the first line, so there's a relief factor weighing in... despite the lack of active boners! The halo line was genius.
Wonderful. I love your humour :D
