Previous 221b: Once upon a time


Today's prompt: John/Sleep

________________________________________________

Give it a rest


John loves sleeping. Because he had to learn to sleep anywhere and under all kinds of crazy circumstances (first when he worked as a doctor, later in the army and in Afghanistan and finally when living with Sherlock) he loves the luxury of a comfortable bed and hours upon hours of quiet.

Sometimes he takes naps in the middle of the day, just because it is warm and safe and comfortable in his bed and there is no one bleeding out, no one shooting at him and no hyperactive consulting detective begging for his attention.

Sherlock does not care for sleeping and therefore usually used to make fun of John for sleeping in the middle of the day like an old man.

One day he suddenly found himself in the living room on his own and he missed John so much that he followed him into the bedroom and sat next to him on the bed with his laptop. He tried to type quietly as to not wake John, but stopped completely when John suddenly rolled over and snuggled up against him, his face pressed against Sherlock’s hip, one arm thrown over Sherlock’s legs in a possessive manner.

When John woke, Sherlock was completely relaxed and in a quiet but content mood because he spent one hour just watching John breathe.



Next 221b: Cunning as a fox

AN:
The prompt was 'John/Sleep'.

I finally came up with a title for this series: An almost gravitational pull!
What do you guys think?
Sadly this means I now have to go back and re-tag all my entries. *argh*
