Title: Lacking (Passion)

Summary: Sherlock has an affair.

'That's it, isn't it? What I've been missing. It's John. He's the key.' I stared at him, bemused by my epiphany. 'Really, how did I not notice this before? I suppose I was being stubborn. Too stuck in my ways. Well, he'll soon fix that if I'm right.'

"John."

"Ye-"

"Come here." John sighed but did as I asked, abandoning his laptop and coming to stand next to the couch. He leaned closer and watched me expectantly. I stared at him for a second or two before quickly reaching up with my right hand and grabbing the collar of his shirt, pulling him down so that we were mere inches from each other. His face turned bright pink in response to the new proximity.

A smirk tugged on my lips.

I rose on my elbow and closed the scant distance between us. He seemed to stop breathing. It was chaste kiss, short and lacking in passion, but it was a start. I let go of his shirt and let my head hit the couch again, not taking my eyes off him as I waited for a reaction.

"…What was that?" He asked, in a near whisper. The blush was receding from his cheeks already and he was staring at me in open-mouthed shock. I nearly broke the tension by laughing at him. He really did look like a fish when he gaped like that.

"Me. Kissing you. Obviously. Do try to keep up John."

"But Sherlock, you, you're married to your work..?"

"No one said I couldn't have an affair."

AN: ...I have no idea where this came from... It just kind of happened last night. About 3am. I was supposed to be sleeping but I woke up from this odd dream that I can't quite remember anymore and the idea hit me so I wrote the basics and this morning I found it and edited it.

I'm kinda shaky about writing Sherlock because his character is so... analytically centered. I mean, I work with "thinker" characters a lot but he's just on another level. So I dunno if this is good.

Probably sounds odd. Most of the fics I read on Sherlock sounded forced because he's such a difficult character to write and I imagine this has the same ring to it.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed it.
