Right
A/N- So I'm starting the 30 Day OTP Challenge. Expect a chapter every day for the next month or so!
1. Holding Hands
"Sherlock, remind me again why we're posing as a couple?" John murmured, stomach churning in delight as he felt Sherlock's palm press against his. His fingertips sent off sparks of electricity, and he felt his face and neck rise in temperature.
"Because, it's a party, we're after a kidnapper, and it would be suspicious for us to go as friends." Sherlock replied, not looking at John as he scanned the perimeter. They were working on a case to find the supposed kidnapper of several teenage girls. He still didn't understand Sherlock's logic behind being a "couple" when they were just friends. And that was all they would ever be.
Maybe.
John was surprised to find that while Sherlock was looking away, there was a mild blush decorating his cheeks. Smiling hopefully, John spoke again, gathering up the courage to carry out his plan. "Well, if we're going to be a couple, we have to look like one- this isn't how couples hold hands." He twisted his wrist slightly to free himself from the other's grasp, and slid his fingers in between the gaps of Sherlock's. His blush intensified, and he avoided the taller one's intense gaze. Focusing on other things- like girls, that no longer interested him for some reason- was difficult when their hands fit like puzzle pieces.
It just feels so right.
Sherlock tried to ignore the feelings he now knew as love- no matter how hard he tried to delete the sensation, it wouldn't ever work. John and the feeling associated with him was forever implanted in his brain.
And recently, he didn't really mind all that much, especially when John corrected their hands and everything just feels so right.
