25 Days of Christmas
Johnlock Edition
Day 7
Mistletoe
Two days after the tree had gone up, John had been called into work and he had gone which left Sherlock in the flat up to his own inventions. Today was different though, he wasn't pressed with the desire to experiment, which saved the kitchen from a disastrous explosion more likely than not, and yet there were no cases to be had for him to solve from the comforts of his home or on the field. It seemed that even the villains of London were taking a short break. Which left Sherlock with doing a few things. He could sit about all day, maybe with one of his books, or he could try to surprise John. The latter was always fun but could be dangerous, whereas the former was safe but could be boring. Ah the choices he had to make.
His eyes alighted on a box of Christmas decorations that was stashed in the corner of the room and his curiosity grew. He approached it casually, flicking open the lid with feigned disinterest – despite the fact there was no one at home – and letting his gaze roam over the content. A few idle strands of light, some broken ornaments, and then some tinsel and garland. Then his eyes landed on a smaller bag in the corner and when he pulled it out he couldn't help but smirk.
He opened the bag and started to hang up the contents. Surprise John it was.
So needless to say, when John arrived home from work a couple hours later he was pleasantly surprised with a breath-stealing, soul-snatching kiss from Sherlock. When he inquired about the occasion behind it, the detective merely lifted a hand and pointed towards the ceiling. Hanging there innocently above the door was a small sprig of mistletoe. John could only smile as he pulled the detective in for another kiss, more than happy with this particular surprise.
I'm just going to say right now, I'm so sorry for the short length on this one, but I did say that there would be short chapters. Also, this one fought me at every turn. For some reason mistletoe and Johnlock just weren't lining up for me. But I hope you all still enjoy it, and thank you for all the views and follows and reviews. It really warms my heart whenever I see them in my email. :)
