Today's prompt: cry/ crying
________________________________________________
Kiss and tell
The amount of useless information a single person can gather on a specific topic thanks to the internet is apparently infinite.
Last Saturday John came into the living room and found Sherlock sitting on the sofa, a bowl of cherries on his chest.
He stood in the door frame for a while and looked at his lover in silent amusement.
“I can see you, you know?”
“I wasn’t hiding. I just didn’t want to disturb whatever you are doing. What are you doing?”
“I am trying to tie a knot into a cherry stem with my tongue. Apparently you are a good kisser if you can do this.”
“I can tell you that you are a good kisser even without seeing if you can tie a knot into a cherry stem.”
“I researched kissing on the internet.”
Two hours later John had learned that people exchange between 10 million and 1 billion bacteria during a kiss, that a kiss can rupture your eardrum, that there are cultures where kissing is not practised, that the kama sutra lists over 30 types of kisses and that passionate kissing burns 6.4 calories a minute.
“Please stop. If I hear another disturbing fact about kissing, I will cry.”
“But it’s interesting! Did you know that there is another species that kisses with tongue? The bonobos!”
Next 221b: Do bees have knees?

AN:
Today's prompt was 'cry/ crying'.
The random facts about kissing were found here.
I do love bonobos and it was very shiny to actually end a 221B with them! :D

I mean.
Prompt was 'cry/crying' and you do this.(grins)
A.m.a.z.i.n.g = Anarion's brain.
This "I researched kissing on the internet."
My first thought was "MMMM, now we get to see Sherlock share that research with John. (Hubba Hubba)
Aaaand nope.(rats!)
What we get is Sherlock sharing *FACTS* about kissing ad nauseum.
Poor John, all that information rattled off at him.(*laughing at that*)
("The Kama Sutra lists over thirty types of kissing". Hmm? Giving you *pointed,significant look* Sherlock does like to confirm his facts.true?)
And ending on *Bonobos*(our closest kissing cousins in the animal world)
was very shiny indeed.
Thank You, Your Mischievousness for both fic and facts.
edit sorry spell check hates me *sigh*

Your comments are the best ego boost. I have a folder for commenst that I go back to whenever I feel like a suck as a writer. Yours are definitely going in there! Thank you so much for all the lovely words! <3

I always adore a willing Sherlock, a Sherlock who wants to be a better kisser or have make-up sex and so he's trying to figure out how to do that in his own ridiculous way. Adorable. Sexy. And adorable.

:D
And I like it quite a bit. If only because I can not keep enough cherries in my house to satisfy my little ones. Maybe they'd eat them slower if they tried tying the stems...
(mini-Mycroft asked for an umbrella today, really...)

*reads the 221B*
Aaaaah. I feel so much better. I needed a fix after this 221B-less week! :D
Last Saturday John came into the living room
But why is there a "sorry no porn tag" then? :D
“I researched kissing on the internet.”
A hint of lacking-of-self-confidence!Sherlock. Aww.
passionate kissing burns 6.4 calories a minute.
My favourite way of losing weight!
I like what you did with the prompt very much. It could have been something angsty, especially with the nod to Rich Brook in your title, but it's lovely and funny.
Shouldn't it be "Two hours later John had learned", since the rest is in the past? :-)

*snorts*
Also: YOU ARE BACK! *glomps*
especially with the nod to Rich Brook in your title
Wait. What? Um... *mumbles something about 'more credit than deserved'*

No no no, it's the wrong answer. The right answer is, "Oh, you mean this clever and subtle allusion to the moment in The Reichenbach Fall when Sherlock and John have just escaped from the police and John sees a copy of The Sun telling of the upcoming exposé by Kitty Riley and tells Sherlock, 'A kiss and tell. Some bloke called Rich Brook'? Yes, I totally did it on purpose because I'm so clever and subtle." That's the right answer. :D
