Previous 221b: The great pretender


Today's prompt: timing

________________________________________________


Timing isn't everything (except when it is)


He started interrogating people just rescued from a hostage-taking, he praised the cleverness of the kidnapper standing next to the victim’s sister and announced the husband’s affair with the wife’s best friend right after Lestrade had told her about his death.

He was not sensitive to people’s pain or state of weakness when he was focused on finding the truth and getting to the bottom of things. It wasn’t that he didn’t care, mostly he didn’t understand. He and John had had several conversations about it and once John had realised that Sherlock often actually could not tell he stopped being angry. Most of the time it was enough for him to remind Sherlock by saying ‘Sherlock, timing!’ and Sherlock would back off a little.

Lestrade once shook his head and sadly said “Really Sherlock, you have no concept of good timing.”

That was not entirely true, only Lestrade couldn’t know that.

There was one scenario where Sherlock cared about good timing: simultaneous orgasms. He often managed to keep himself or John balancing that fine line until they would both come together. John hadn’t had as many simultaneous orgasms in his whole life than in his first year with Sherlock.

But while he has his moments (that only John benefits from), most of the time Sherlock’s timing is indeed extremely bad.

The prompt was 'timing'. ;)

So, tell me about the kinks you think this Sherlock in this verse might have! It's for science. ;)

I totally believe this! Yes, Sherlock doesn't see the placid pony in the background because right in front of him is a dancing bear! That's truly how I think his mind works...

Kinks: Someone just asked me if I'd write something regarding a tear kink. Sexual arousal when seeing tears, real or simply physical response to other-than-sadness stimuli.

I'll try it I think, but you'll likely write it way before I will! Go!
