Today's prompt: cooking
________________________________________________
Flirting with the devil
“You can cook.“
John stared at the chaos in the kitchen that for once was not experiment but food related. Whatever Sherlock had put in the oven smelled delicious.
“Of course I can cook. It’s basic chemistry. Simple. Boring. I therefore choose to spend my time with more interesting things.”
“Mh, like fungi under the sink. Or dead sheep on the sofa.”
“That was months ago. When will you get over the sheep?”
“Probably never. As I will never get over the scorpions in my bed. Or you doing your ridiculous experiment on pickup lines with Lestrade.”
“I agree that the last one was a failure.”
“A failure... Greg nearly had a nervous breakdown when he thought you were flirting with him.”
“Just because he couldn’t handle it.”
“I don’t think anyone could handle it if you decided to flirt in earnest. It’s a disturbing thought.”
“You could.”
“Maybe. But you never actually flirted with me.”
“Do you want me to?”
“God, no.”
“God, no?”
Sherlock looked mildly put out and John tried desperately to get back on safe ground.
After a while he stopped babbling. “You enjoy seeing me squirm, don’t you?”
“Yes. Also, why would I need to flirt with you? I’m already shagging you.”
John grinned. “I always knew that there’s a hopeless romantic hiding behind that brain...”

But seriously, I want flirting. Flirting. That's tomorrow's prompt I just now decided. Sherlock. Flirting with John. In earnest. Or John flirting with Sherlock and it working.
Um, anyway, I love that John refers back to the sheep. I love the ebb and flow of these, the interweaving, the unity.
Maybe you'll write these forever, not just a year?

*goes into her thinking-cave to try to figure out HOW THE HELL Sherlock flirts*

Date: 2012-07-27 08:35 pm (UTC)And I think he'd use facts, knowledge, to do it. Even with John. Telling John amazing things he knows, not amazing things about John, but about things he think would intrigue, impress, maybe arouse John...

I hope it's not the sheep from yesterday's fic. :D
Or a dead sheep on the sofa.
Hey, hello! I was just talking about you! Would it be a sequel to yesterday's fic after all?
*reads the next lines*
No. Maybe I'm a little bit obsessed about sequels. :D
So, is Greg the devil from the title, or is it Sherlock, or John,
or the sheep,or... Also, I'm with Atlin: I WANT TO SEE SHERLOCK FLIRTING WITH JOHN!!! I mean, please, Anarion.Aaaaaand it was my last comment until August the 5th, because I'll be in a Place Where Internet Is Not. I... I'll try to survive. Three months with a 221B a day and suddenly a week without anything. I fear withdrawal. Laters! :-)
I think there's one "at the" too many in John stared at the at the chaos. ;-)

I will miss you though! *hugs*

Date: 2012-07-27 10:23 pm (UTC)Of course I want More! too, but above all: Poor Lestrade!! Scarred for life!
no subject
Date: 2012-07-27 11:33 pm (UTC)John on the other hand mmmmmh.*drools a bit* mm hmm.purrr.
Sorry? What was I saying?
Oh right, this is just so adorable with the boys snarking at each other.
And poor tramatized Lestrade, return mention of the sheep, and that emphatic "God no."*giggles*
You have quite the little universe going here and I'm joining the more! more! more! chorus 'cause you are *Awesome* and I apparently have no shame.
(offers you homemade fudge as a bribe){yup,no shame}

Date: 2012-08-06 07:23 am (UTC)Oh, look. Homemade fudge! Give it! :D
no subject
Date: 2012-07-29 11:29 am (UTC)But personally, I'm more interested in the Lestrade part...I'm naughty that way. And it'd be interesting to see what freaks Lestrade out. He doesn't seem that easily freaked.
