Timing, John!


It’s not that John is shy about showing in public that he is with Sherlock, but that one day last March would have made him highly uncomfortable had he seen and heard what Sherlock saw and heard.

It was a fine spring day and people were sitting outside in cafés everywhere. John voiced his opinion that Sherlock was too pale and therefore they should sit outside so that he could get his daily dose of vitamin D. Sherlock tried to argue that he was always pale, even in summer, then he realised that it was one of those occasions when John’s fussing with his health was actually a declaration of love, so he said nothing and sat down.

He immediately noticed the five women at the table next to the door sticking their heads together and shooting John and him curious glances. Their excited whispers reached his sensitive ears: ‘God, he’s so pretty!’ – ‘Do you think they are...?’ – ‘So cute!’ – ‘...bet the dark one tops.’ – ‘...maybe a kiss?’

John chose that particular moment to lean over, grab Sherlock’s collar and press a gentle kiss on his lips.

It’s not that John is shy about showing in public that he is with Sherlock, but it’s probably best that he did not see the American lady fist bump the air and mouth ‘Booyah!’
