Today's prompt: lover/ boyfriend/ husband
________________________________________________
Come to terms
“This is John Watson, my...”
“Partner.”
He feels Sherlock bristle a little, probably remembering that time in Sebastian Wilkes’ office all that time ago. But then he nods, apparently approving of the term.
“Yes. My partner.”
***
He later addresses the topic again in a very Sherlockian way.
“I really don’t see the appeal,” he says apropos of nothing.
“Of what?”
“Calling you my boyfriend.”
“It really sounds like we are fifteen. Then what?”
“Well, you certainly are my lover.”
“Yeah, no denying that. Not sure I want you to introduce me to possible clients like that though.”
“How about ‘significant other’?”
“If we want to sound like people from a commercial with the stamp ‘politically correct’ on it...”
“I think we can agree on ‘partner’ then?”
“I think we can.”
They smile at each other and Sherlock feels something warm grow in his chest at the sudden sense of belonging.
Then Lestrade calls and there’s a case that Sherlock solves in a few hours while at the same time making case-related fun of the two men for being older.
Home again, John pulls Sherlock in for a long passionate kiss, then steps back.
“I’d love to keep this up, but I fear I’m getting old.” He grins his most mischievous grin. “Why don’t you take me to bed, toy boy?”

AN:
Today's prompt was 'Boyfriend / lover / husband (the term(s) themselves—do either use them?)'.
This is pre-marriage, so 'husband' was not on the menu yet.

I think I'm having an "Aawww" moment. Sweet and funny!
