Today's prompt: flag

________________________________________________

I hate to leave you wanting


“John? Where are you?”

“Still on my way home.”

“Why are you walking? That will take almost an hour. Take the tube. Or a cab.”

“The tube is closed down because of an accident and therefore all the cabs are taken. Not everyone is as lucky as you when it comes to flagging down a cab.”

Sherlock was silent for a moment, the only thing John could hear was his breathing.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

“I’m not as brilliant as you at deducing people, but I know when you are lying. It’s your breathing. Tell me what’s wrong.”

“I thought you’d be home sooner.”

“And...?”

“Can’t I just miss you?”

“Sherlock. You called me. You never call, except when it’s urgent. So what’s going on?”

“I thought about you...”

John made an encouraging sound.

“... and then I wanted you.”

“You wanted... oh.”

“I don’t think I can wait that much longer.”

“You don’t have to. Touch yourself. I’m going to talk to you.”

“It’s not the same.”

“Try it.”

John loved the way Sherlock’s breathing quickened when he wanted him. But soon he heard a disappointed sigh.

“This is not going to work. I need you.”

Suddenly it was very warm. John swallowed.

“I’m going to be home as soon as possible. Be warned. I might try to hijack a bus.”

Fantastic! That made me burst out laughing in an Irish garden - love it!!

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Tee-hee, that's lovely to hear! Give Stace a hug from me!

[atlinmerrick.livejournal.com]

That last line is pure gold.

Also, a Sherlock so in need specifically, totally, and utterly of *John* that he doesn't succeed in getting himself off, well then, I have only one word to say (and it starts with B):

BOOYAH!

(P.S. It's so damn American and it doesn't really translate...just think of it as an exclamation of joy.)

[anarion.livejournal.com]

And now I think I need to write a 221B with a cameo from a certain American lady shouting 'Booyah'! :D

Do it, do it, do it.
Please, please, please.(will find a way to pay you in fudge and truffles if you do.)

I know when you are lying. It’s your breathing.
I love that. John knows him inside out. (No, it's not an innuendo.)

I expected John to say, "I'm coming," and I prepared to snigger in a very mature way but of course it was an obvious trap and I should know you don't do obvious. :D

Sex on the horizon indeed. I'm sure that very soon John will make other encouraging sound[s] and Sherlock's sighs won't be disappointed anymore. Also, the title: come on, admit this is what you feel about your readers, Anarion, admit you hate when you leave us with an evil cliffhanger or screaming for a sequel. Er... Don't you? :D

I actually had him say 'I'm coming' but then I thought about the level of maturity amongst my readers and changed it. :P

Odly enough... NO. :D

It's so Sherlock to be that impatient - and needy :)
John might just do the hijaking....oh dear.
Another absolutely delightful one!!

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Yay, I'm happy you think that this is very Sherlock!

Thank you! <3

[rox712.livejournal.com]

If you hate it, then why do you do it? Goodness, I feel nearly as frustrated as Sherlock!

[anarion.livejournal.com]

I was totally confused here for a moment. I kinda panicked and thought 'Wait, were did I say anything about hating?' *facepalm*
Yes, I forgot my own title...

[bradspyjamas.livejournal.com]

Oh that is pure gold. And now I'm imagining a weird "Speed" scenario where John and Molly pilot an unstoppable red London bus down Regent Street at rush hour in order to stop Sherlock exploding!
I think I may need help :)

[anarion.livejournal.com]

OMG, that comment made my morning! *falls from chair laughing*
Speed was my favourite movie when I was younger.

[bradspyjamas.livejournal.com]

It was mine too, for a while - I had a bit of a thing for Keanu :)

[pottermalfoyyum.livejournal.com]

That is also where my thoughts went! Maybe we need to start a club?

[bradspyjamas.livejournal.com]

Definitely :)
We just need a name!

[antesqueluz.livejournal.com]

Love this! :-D

"Sherlock was silent for a moment, the only thing John could hear was his breathing."
Okay will admit, checked tags at this point.'Cause realized Sherlock called, didn't text, actually phoned John, got worried.(sigh of relief at no "anarion is evil". Might have cheered at "phone sex" and "sherlock wanking.")

Definitely cheering, with a side of awww at{fail wank?}Sherlock needing John to physically be there.

Also rather warm at thought of *Bamfy* John hijacking bus.
( is it bad I thought Dr. Who about bus-jacking before totally agreeing with the Speed comments?)

Loved this.(from flag, really ,you got this from flag?*shake head in wonder*starting to feel like bobble-head when I read your stuff.)
