Previous 221b: Actions speak louder than words


Today's prompt: cousin

________________________________________________


Doppelgänger


They rarely went to family gatherings of the Holmes family, but this one they somehow could not avoid. John took it graciously but was rather bored with the whole thing until he met Sherlock’s cousin Eathelin.

She looked just like him, the eyes, the cheekbones, the dark curly hair, the tall and slender figure. John was stunned.

Mycroft introduced them and then left them to their conversation, which was lively and interesting until Sherlock came along and dragged John away.

“Would you stop lusting after my cousin please?”

“I’m not lusting. I... Sherlock, she looks almost exactly like you, you could be twins. I’m just impressed.”

“You’re not fantasizing about having sex with her?”

“Firstly, you should know by now what I look like when I fantasize about sex and secondly, I happen to like the all-male version of you. Plus she lacks all your charming personality. So no, I am not.”

“You always say I should work on my personality.”

“Would you shut up? I don’t want to have sex with your cousin. I might not want to have sex with you either if you don’t stop.”

Despite this little quarrel the day ended quite nicely. John was sitting close to Sherlock near a fireplace and they were talking to uncle Ernest while the fiery glow was reflected in John’s Brandy.



Next 221b: Mine!

This is exactly how this should have been written. There is no other way this scene could have gone, it's perfect!

"I might not want to have sex with you either if you don’t stop.”

Well we know that that's a lie, but it makes a nice threat just the same.

I've read through this again. It's just delightful.

Poor jealous Sherlock - he's such a cutie!

And I want to know what John looks like when he's fantasising about sex!

What is wrong with Eathelin? It means 'noble waterfall'. *pouts*
Ok, granted, it sounds like some kind of medicinal alcohol or something. ;)

I just want to know how long you had to search for it. Yes, the alcohol thing did cross my mind.

"It means 'noble waterfall'
As an ACD fan and having recently re-watched that episode of the series, I will now hide in my blanket-fort with alcohol. :P

Eathelin? Hoppy-toads what is with the names in the Holmes family?

“You’re not fantasizing about having sex with her?”
I love Insecure Sherlock, really I do, still want to hunt down a slap the person or persons....grrr.

John was sitting close to Sherlock near a fireplace and they were talking to uncle Ernest while the fiery glow was reflected in John’s Brandy.
Ernest? That's almost normal, did he marry into the family? The fireplace and the fiery glow reflected is a lovely image, so warming.
Caused giggles and warmed the heart. GO YOU!

“Firstly, you should know by now what I look like when I fantasize about sex...
Details, please, please, please?
