There`s some oral sex in this chapter, if you would rather not read that skip the second part of this chapter.
John was pinned to the spot, "Stay...and do what?" He needed clarification on this, it was driving him crazy.
Sherlock frowned in disgust, "I don`t know, this is..." The usually eloquent man looked frustrated as words failed him, "...not my area." He tried to hide his embarrassment with a display of irritation, dropping a pile of books onto the floor with a thump. "Just forget it." The taller man said going back to the laptop, the blue glare highlighting his face eerily in the softly lit living room.
"I can`t Sherlock." John said going over to stand by the dark haired man sitting at the table. "I feel like a bad person, I feel like I`m taking advantage of you."
Sherlock snorted, he hadn`t looked up from the laptop but he was only pretending to be more interested in the laptop.
"I`m serious Sherlock." John said, "You`re not feeling yourself right now, if I tried anything then..."
"Don`t belittle me like that." Sherlock snapped, and stood so he was looking down on John, their chests mere centimeters.
"Then just tell me what you want from me, so I know this is not some gross misunderstanding." John said, not giving in to Sherlock`s attempts of intimidation.
Sherlock seemed to flounder for words, obviously a bit flustered. In the end he gave up trying to speak, and decided to just show John by bending down so their lips met in a soft kiss.
John thought his heart had stopped, and as soon as he felt Sherlock`s lips moving slowly, he melted into the kiss letting his arms go around that slim masculine waist. He deepened the kiss slowly, and even the taste of tea and cigarettes was in-toxifying. When Sherlock reciprocated, his hands trailing up the doctor`s back slowly to entangle in the sandy strands at the back of John`s head, bringing with them a electrifying tingling sensation with the movement.
Sherlock seemed so shy with the intimacy, which seemed so alien considering how brazen he was usually.
Their slow kiss broke but they stayed holding each other, close enough for noses to touch. Sounding more husky than usual Sherlock said, "You`re my best friend, and I want..." The word lovers seemed alien and ill-fitting for what Sherlock was trying to express, it was a word loaded with sentiment. "I`ve always been able to divorce myself from my feelings..but since I`ve known you. I like waking up with you."
"I can do that..." John said his soft doctor`s hand coming up to stroke Sherlock`s face. "If you do the same."
The flush on Sherlock`s cheeks deepened slightly, "When I said this wasn`t my area..." He cleared his throat, "I meant I`ve...never..."
John found the taller man`s embarrassment endearing. "You mean...sex?"
Sherlock`s lips twitched. "Define sex."
"Uhhh sexual intercourse, oral, virginally or anally." John said in his professional voice.
Sherlock looked a bit uncomfortable. "Oral but..." He trailed off.
John finished for him, "Coke binge?" Sherlock nodded, but avoided eye contact still. "...for money?"
"A couple of times..." Sherlock said his lips returning to a hard line. He was waiting to be chastised by John.
"Do you not want to do any of that?" John asked instead, he tried not to imagine a strung out Sherlock, going down on men in alleyways.
"I didn`t enjoy it." Sherlock admitted, "But the circumstances are now different so I don`t know... I like waking up with you holding me." The taller man`s nose wrinkled when he realized how sappy he sounded.
"I can do that at least." John said, giving Sherlock a smile and quick peck on the lips. "I done some crazy things in med school." He told Sherlock, he wasn`t exactly a choir boy. "But I`ve not exactly had a boyfriend before either."
"Boyfriend..." Sherlock frowned as he tested out the word on his tongue. It was a whole new world of feelings and relationships he`d never given any weight to before.
"Partner, or whatever you want, there`s no pressure." John had to admit he felt too old to be a boyfriend. He broke away. "Well, I`ll be in the bottom bedroom. Goodnight." He gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, which felt silly and right at the same time and left Sherlock in the living room to get ready for bed.
John laid in bed, trying not to over think the conversation he`d had with Sherlock. Instead he thought about the feel of Sherlock`s lips and body against his. It done things to him, it was all very well being noble, but now here alone the sexual frustration was killing him.
He heard Sherlock play the violin, he was obviously thinking, so he kind of gave up on the hope that Sherlock would hop into bed with him for some sexual experimentation.
John rolled over wondering if he should take some valium, or masturbate, either one might help him sleep. He half dozed trying to relax to the soft sounds of the violin coming from the other room.
He hadn`t realized the music had stopped when the door open, and in a few moments he felt the bed depress behind him. The past month of sharing a single with Sherlock made this feel luxuriant, if not a bit lonely.
Rolling back towards Sherlock, he wordlessly took the skinny man into his arms. If Sherlock wanted to be held, he could do that, preying his body didn`t betray him, the other man was just in his briefs and he could feel the soft skin under his arms.
He was thinking how nice Sherlock smelt, when he felt Sherlock`s lips on his, in a more hungry kiss than before. That shook him from his slumber, and woke up other parts of his body. It was so not fair, Sherlock must know what this was going to do to him.
Sherlock opened his mouth, and greedily explored John`s with his tongue. With either nerves or experience their teeth clashed, but they both ignored it, hands starting to run over each other`s bodies with their hands.
When Sherlock`s large hand came into contact with his semi-erect penis, it made him moan deeply into the kiss.
The other man broke away, looking seriously into John`s eyes before disappearing down his body.
John breathed heavily as he felt his underwear being stripped, and Sherlock touch the turgid flesh before hands were replaced with a warm wet mouth.
"Sherlock..." He groaned, hands going to weave into the black curls. Any thoughts of `taking things slow` were long forgotten, and he just let Sherlock take control of him, working him quickly into a full erection.
The other man teased and sucked him, not an expert but it didn`t take long for John to feel his orgasm building. "God...Sherlock I`m going to..." He tried to warn the other man between his legs, hands going to his shoulders.
Sherlock just took him in deeper, and John couldn`t hold himself back. "Fuck..." He came hard into Sherlock`s mouth, who swallowed it, and lapped the last few dribbles.
John was out of breath, and he hadn`t really done anything. "Sorry..." He said slightly dizzy, and he felt Sherlock move back beside him. "I can, just...give me a moment..." To recover from that mind blowing orgasm.
"It`s ok." Sherlock said sitting up, and he heard the man lighting a cigarette. They were going to have to talk about smoking in bed...but not right now. "It was an experiment." He said around his cigarette, before taking a deep drag.
"Experiment?" John asked raising his eyebrows. "Experiment about what?"
"I wanted to know if it felt different." The cigarette tip glowed cherry red in the darkness.
John heart sunk a bit, "And...?"
"It felt different." Sherlock replied, John couldn`t see in the darkness, but he was sure there was smirk. "I will need to repeat though."
Finally! That was a long time coming, all that because I wanted the relationship to be believable.
What`s my play list when I`m writing? Well so far it`s been Matt Berry - Opium.

In fact the whole album`s great for those strung out late summer days.
But this chapter I changed to something a bit more upbeat, Brous - Streamers.
