Today's prompt: allergies

________________________________________________

Out of control


John never pressured Sherlock into doing more than kissing or touching, but Sherlock was convinced that he was growing more impatient with every passing day.

That afternoon he watched John put away the groceries and spotted condoms and John’s favourite kind of lube. John wasn’t even discreet about it.

Sherlock swallowed and made his voice sound cold when he asked, “Subtle hint, John?”

John raised his head and looked for a moment as if Sherlock had punched him.

“You know me better.”

He did.

“I will never pressure you into anything. I merely like to be prepared. To be honest though, I really don’t understand. You are not a virgin, you’ve had a number of partners. Why are you so shy? I won’t deny that I’m aching for it, aching for you. And your body wants it too, I can feel it when we’re together. So what goes on in that brilliant mind of yours that makes you draw back every time?”

“It’s different. With you. It has never been like this. I’ve never felt so out of control. It...”

“It scares you. Sherlock, I’m sorry. I’m an idiot.”

“No, you...”

“Yes. I am. We’ll take all the time you need.”

Then he grinned.

“Although I’m really looking forward to the day you’ll fuck me on this table until I’m bow-legged.”



Next 221b: Like daylight shooting stars

AN:
Today's prompt was 'allergies'.

Yeah, so this was supposed to be some crack about Sherlock having a latex allergy. But then this happened. I apologise for not exactly getting the prompt in.
Can I have a joker card or something?

Although this is a result of the prompt because my mind went ‘allergies – latex allergy – condoms – this story’.

I like the way your mind works. :)

I bet Sherlocks "shyness" will crumble a good deal after THAT statement from John.

And you can have a joker ... or rather you are allowed a second try, meaning you have to write 366 stories in total now ;)

Ehm, sorry, you were saying? My mind went blank after that last sentence. Were the hell is the "Sex on the horizon" tag?

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Haha, I was thinking about using it. But then I use 'sex on the horizon' when the sex is pratically happening right after the 221B ends. And that's not the case here. Sadly.

Edit, because I can't type...

Aww, never mind the prompt, this is lovely. It's really a beautiful concept that Sherlock is shy this time, because it means so much more than it ever did before.

And I love the way you've handled it - the way that Sherlock 'made' his voice sound cold and the gorgeous simplicity of 'He did.'

Very well done, you just get better and better :D

I like the way you show us different times of their relationship. We never know what to expect! I also very much like the characterization: Sherlock trying to sound cold to hide his vulnerability and his fear of loss of control, John being understanding and patient but also honest. And I love that Sherlock behaves this way because John is special for him.

“Although I’m really looking forward to the day you’ll fuck me on this table until I’m bow-legged.”
*chokes*
Very honest indeed. :D

*Coughs and sputters*feels rather warm*{sorry allergies :)}
Yeah, let's get my appreciation of the last line out the way first,
Horny toads and Humpy back camels *Thank you* for that pretty image.

Can't deal with the *feels* Sherlock being defensive.
"Subtle hint,John?"
Lovely,stoic John's answer('cause bet that did feel like a punch to the chest.)
"You know me better than that."

He did.

*sniffles*(allergies. yes, I do enjoy saying that :P)
Then fifteen pages of emotional subtext{how do you do that?}in
following paragraph of Lovely John and Unintentionaly vulnerable
Sherlock.(more sniffles,good kind.)

Then.that.last.line.(whew, new cure for allergies.sweat them out.yay!)
Your getting so good at this, all these peeks into various stages of the boys relationship,feeling privileged to read them.(yup)
Thank You!
