No good deed goes unpunished


“Sherlock, have you seen my keycard?”

John was in a hurry because he was already late for work. Sherlock had done some experiment last night to prove his theory for their last case and John had decided to sit with him until it was done and he could send the solution to Lestrade at 4am. Naturally he overslept.

“Where the hell is my keycard? It was on the table last night.”

“I hid it.”

“What? Why?”

“Because you complained that I never do nice things for you.”

“So you hid my keycard?”

“Yes. You loved Easter as a kid,” Sherlock said in lieu of an explanation.

“You've got to be kidding me.“

He looked under the sofa cushions.

“Cold.”

He looked under the skull.

“Warmer.”

Since he now stood close to Sherlock, John put his hand in the pockets of in his lover’s pyjama pants. Nothing. Sherlock grinned.

“Hot.”

John hooked his forefingers in the waistband and ran them around Sherlock’s waist. His fingertips brushed the keycard right above Sherlock’s bottom, just before John suddenly realised that he was now effectively holding Sherlock in his arms. Sherlock smiled.

“I've also excused you at work. You could slowly strip me naked, have sex with me and then breakfast in bed. What do you think?”

John shook his head and laughed. “Sounds brilliant.”

Fluff. Fluff is what I need right now. Sherlock tricking John into strpping him is what I call sex-right-here :D

I'm glad to have provided fluff when it was needed! :D

I defy anyone to read this and not have a massive smile on their face by the end of it! Lovely, lovely stuff :D

It was on the table last night.
This table has such an interesting life these days. :D

Since he now stood close to Sherlock, John put his hand in the pockets of in his lover’s pyjama pants.
Well, it's the only sensible thing to do. *coughs*

“Hot.”
Oh yes, hot indeed.

John suddenly realised that he was now effectively holding Sherlock in his arms.
Sherlock is a genius and this is the proof.

“I've also excused you at work. You could slowly strip me naked, have sex with me and then breakfast in bed. What do you think?”
To think that I have to go to work tomorrow... *sighs*

Aww. Sweet and funny. I don't think that John will be able to complain Sherlock never does nice things for him now.

You forgot the full stop after "Sherlock said in lieu of an explanation", and you need a comma, not a full stop, after "You loved Easter as a kid” :-)

Awww, I had hoped the story would go in that direction. That. was super nice of Sherlock!

"“Yes. You loved Easter as a kid,” Sherlock said in lieu of an explanation."

This explanation: Cryptic to everyone else, utterly obvious to Sherlock.

May I be called in sick to work in exactly this fashion please?

Also, your insistence that you are rubbish at titles is rubbish. You are *superb* at titles.
