Today's prompt: shy

________________________________________________


Inexperienced


“Come on Sherlock, say it. It’s not that difficult. Everyone does it.”

John tried to give an encouraging smile to his lover who sat on the sofa like a petulant five-year-old.

“I don’t.”

“Yes, clearly. But you could start now.”

“I... don’t know how. It wasn’t a custom in our family.”

“You said it to me.”

“That is different. You and I are...”

John got momentarily distracted from trying to make Sherlock do what he wanted by the way Sherlock’s eyes focused on him and he thought about abandoning his little project in favour of ripping off his lover’s clothes in order to have sex with him on the sofa in the middle of the day.

Sherlock started grinning like a shark, clearly able to follow John’s thoughts.

“Sherlock. Don’t even think it.”

John was rather proud that his voice barely shook.

“You started it.”

“And I would finish it by sucking you off and then fucking you into the damned sofa if you just made the bloody call.”

Sherlock turned a pretty shade of pink and stopped breathing for a moment. John smiled triumphantly.

“Fine.” Sherlock pulled his mobile from his pocket and stabbed a number.

“Hello Brother. I need to speak to you. Please don’t interrupt, this is difficult enough. Yes, of course John made me. Anyway. Happy Birthday.”



Next 221b: Too much


------------------
AN:
The prompt was 'shy'.
Atlin wanted a story about Sherlock being shy — and not during sex.

This one is for my beta-ninja chocolamousse, because it's her birthday today. Happy Birthday, sweetie! :)
(Day 227!!!)

Dammit, Chocolamousse needs to have more birthdays!

[tracionn.livejournal.com]

Awwww. Fave all over again. It's got such a sweet atmosphere and sulking Sherlock and fondly insisting John always get to me :)

[treelight.livejournal.com]

Haha, what a nice idea! Especially since I don't like to call my brother, too, (not to speak of other relatives) for his birthday.

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Tee-hee, I'm glad you liked it! :D

"Of course John made me."

This call would have been infinitely easier for Sherlock if he'd been calling Chocola. I have it on direct authority that Sherlock has a crush on her. Then again we all do.

Also, I want to see how far down Sherlock's pretty shade of pink goes. (What?)

[chocolamousse.livejournal.com]

WHAT? SHERLOCK HAS A CRUSH ON ME AND NOBODY TOLD ME? *is ready to swim across the Channel* No, wait. It's horrible. Sherlock has a crush on me. I feel like I'm part of a het fic. *is torn between delight and horror* A het fic in which Sherlock is unfaithful to John. An inverse This Time No *feels that horror wins* Atlin, you must stop now! :D

[atlinmerrick.livejournal.com]

When you put it like that even I am a bit taken aback. But only a bit. I don't think John could be jealous of you ever, not ever. Besides, if you sidle on up to Sherlock, you can get Ravi's phone number. I suspect your conversation will go something like this...

"You think you're safe. It is an illusion, a comforting lie told to protect you. Enjoy these final moments of peace, for I have returned. To have. My. Vengeance."

[chocolamousse.livejournal.com]

So, shall we begin? Yeah. Despair and die, you scum. Also I have a celeriac.

Anyway I hope you noticed the fact that I didn't mention Ravi in my comment. I was very tempted but I didn't. Because I can show self-restraint if need be. (What?) But I can't wait to read the Minutiae chapter about the way he died after being accidentally poisoned, shot and strangled by Sherlock. (WHAT?)

[atlinmerrick.livejournal.com]

You already know this, but it bears repeated repeating: I adore you. You are consistent and funny and consistently funny and your brain is a special place and I like it very much.

[verityburns.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is bloody brilliant!!!

It's quite something to maintain this level of characterisation when you're working towards a specific line... but you make it look easy.

Fantastic job, my dear - I applaud you :D

[221b-hound.livejournal.com]

Heh heh. It's Mycroft's birthday, but Sherlock gets the present...

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Maybe it helps him to appreciate Mycroft more.

No, probably not. ;)

I love when I get a new notification for one of your stories. It always has the title and then the yummy, hilarious tags. It's like opening the stockings before the gifts. This was one of my favs.

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Aaw, what a lovely thing to say! Thank you! <3

[anarion.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :)

Also, how do you make that heart appear?

[purrculier1.livejournal.com]

I'm laughing all over myself, that was not the ending I expected from the first few lines of dialogue.(brilliant, twisty Anarion is brilliant and twisty.)
Love insecure Sherlock and dirty-thinking encouraging John.
Also Happy Birthday to Keyboard BAMF Chocolamousse.

pssst...give and an(?) encouraging... ...for am a(?) moment... and no, I don't know how I saw those with all the distracting images in this story. ;)

[chocolamousse.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I'm late!

“And I would finish it by sucking you off and then fucking you into the damned sofa if you just made the bloody call.”
Captain John Watson, aka Motivation Man.

“Hello Brother. I need to speak to you. Please don’t interrupt, this is difficult enough. Yes, of course John made me. Anyway. Happy Birthday.”
*giggles*
I can hear Sherlock saying that. It must be torture to him... And of course now you have to write the scene that follows the call. ;-)

That's a lovely gift, thank you very much! And wow, the b-word is "birthday"! :D

Speaking of beta, it's "John tried to give an encouraging smile" and "stopped breathing for a moment". :-)

[anarion.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you liked my little present! :)
*hugs*


Thank you. I should at least give you a day off on your birthday. ;)

Oh,oh,oh -- too fabulous! Love that we are so often not sure exactly what's going on until the end. :)
