Today's prompt: tissue
________________________________________________
The issue with the tissue
He is perfectly able to go shopping. He just hates it. And since John never honestly complained about it, he doesn’t even feel bad about not doing it.
There are a few things John refuses to buy for him though, including animals (living or dead), chemicals and explosives. Luckily you can get most of these things online.
Although for a while he had to do some shopping for more mundane things himself.
When was this? It was the time it took from Sherlock realising that he was in love with John to John having an epiphany at a crime scene. Exactly 5 months, 16 days, 14 hours and 26 seconds.
What Sherlock had to buy? Tissues. Because he used them in such amounts that even John, who can be so disturbingly oblivious to things, would have noticed.
Why did Sherlock suddenly use such a conspicuous amount of tissues? Because being with John not only unfroze his heart, it also jump started his sex drive. And his body seemed to think that it needed to make up for all those years.
How did Sherlock deal with this problem, with the fact that just being around John turned him on? He wanked. And that’s where the tissues come in. Because he wanked so often, he would probably have shamed every single teenage boy.

AN:
Today's prompt was 'tissue'.
This prompt was supposed to be posted right after 'Trouble shared...'. It was written and all. *ahem*
I have no explanation other than that I was probably overwhelmed by your enthusiastic demands for a sequel. Yes, I am often chaotic and easily confused as most people who've met me will know. If you offer me a choice with more than three variables, I will most likely be overchallenged. Unless there's chocolate. Is there chocolate?
I am also easily distracted. I'm sure I had a point in the beginning that I was trying to make. Before the chocolate... *wanders off*

And how did all those tissues get binned without John taking notice? Was this a middle of the night rubbish dump? Inquiring minds need answers!
:D

Ah well. Molten core is at least appropriate. Given...things.

Ah. Do you want me to make you laugh? First I had thought he needed a lot of tissues because he horribly pined for John and believed he'd never have him and cried his eyes out every night in his solitary bed. It seemed a little OOC to me but... Well. *is mortified* You can laugh now.
*reads the AN*
I'm totally with you about chocolate, oh yes. Also, I love your "Sherlock wanking (everywhere)" tag. :D
