Hello, all! This seems like it's going to be a loong story. Seeing as I fail at writing, don't mind my mistakes. Although, if there are any glaring grammatical errors, please let me know. I haven't edited this... at all.
Music I've been writing to: Bliss N Eso. Great guys. I get a lot done when I listen to him. Check them out, they're fantastic.

Alright. Enjoy. This is also a very short chapter, I promise longer ones later on. :)
"Johnnnnnnnnnnnn." Sherlock drawled, boredly. "There's nothing to doooo."
Sherlock Holmes was sprawled out on the couch of their flat, one leg over the back, one arm behind him, the rest of his limbs dumped carelessly here and there. John Watson looked over the top of his newspaper to his lump of a flatmate.
"Then find something to do. Get dressed, perhaps?" He said, smirking.
Sherlock had a tendency to only ever wear proper clothing when necessary. And considering the fact that they hadn't had a case in over two months, Sherlock tended to never wear proper clothing. Opting for things more comfortable, such as his dressing gown and a pair of boxers. Sometimes only the dressing gown. Sometimes only the boxers. Sometimes neither.
John had seen more of Sherlock in the last two months than he had ever thought, or hoped he would. Not to say that John had never seen a naked man before. Of course he had. He had been in the Army and was a doctor, for goodness sake. He'd seen his fair share of testicles, but had never been attracted to another man before. That is, until he walked in on Sherlock one day. Completely naked.
John walked inside the flat door, arms full of groceries from the shoppe down the street. He turned and nearly dropped everything he was carrying. Sherlock, it seemed, was sitting stark naked on the couch, hands steepled in his trademark thinking position, not bothering to feel ashamed or even care that everything was out in the open for everyone to see. John blushed a deep shade of fuchsia, averting his eyes and depositing his load onto thw kitchen table.
"Er. Sherlock?" He questioned, looking carefully to the left of Sherlock's head.
Sherlock looked up, as if surprised to see John standing there. Sherlock may be a genius, but he could be totally oblivious to the simplest, most obvious things.
"Oh. John. Didn't notice you." He said, shuffling through a stack of papers on the coffee table. "Did you get me more iodine?"
John gaped. He didn't seem the least bit self conscious that his.. junk... was there for him to see. Or maybe he was very very aware of it, and just had it there for John to see. Maybe he knew that John had been scanning his toned body at every chance he got... John blushed an even deeper shade of red.
"Sherlock.. would you mind getting dressed, please? Or at least putting something on?" He tossed a sheet from the laundry pile in Sherlock's general direction. Sherlock wrapped it around his waist and sat back down, pulling over his laptop.
That was the first time John had seen Sherlock totally naked. But not the last, of course. It was strange for John, being embarrassed at seeing another naked man. He should be used to it by now. Maybe it was just different because it was Sherlock and he was his flatmate and he had to see him every day. But John knew that wasn't the case.
"John?" Sherlock broke his train of thought. "What can we do today? I'm so boreddddd."
Sherlock slapped another nicotine patch on his arm, adding to the growing number covering his body. John thought that he should be a bit concerned that Sherlock might get nicotine poisoning. But then again, this was Sherlock. Maybe getting nicotine poisoning would make him less bored.
"I don't know, Sherlock. Watch some telly or something." He suggested.
Sherlock grunted, flipping on the telly compliantly, only to flop back on the couch with a halfhearted "thump." Some program was on about world dictators in history. Sherlock suddenly sat up, eyes flashing for the first time in weeks.
"John." He said, slowly. "I know what I'm going to do today. I'm going to take over the world."
