Sherlock had a sweet tooth, which was evident when he asked for two sugars in his black coffee, but hidden the rest of the time. And so, it was no wonder that Sherlock secretly saw John Watson as sweet. Thinking back on it, it was probably one of the aspects that drew him to the doctor, what with his sweet tooth seeking out something sweet. It all made perfect sense in his mind, and yet no sense.

Finding certain foods sweet was normal for Sherlock – even though he barely ate anything – but it was abnormal for him to find something sweet in a human being. And yet, here he was with sweet John Hamish Watson, always smiling and laughing jovially with him as if he were a child who had consumed too much sugar, like he never had with anyone before. The stranger thing was that John was acting the same, as if he found Sherlock equally as sweet, which was a far cry from the truth, which was that he was an annoying, insufferable prat.

However, if John was happy getting giddy off of the non-existent sweetness, then so be it. Who was Sherlock to argue with the doctor who reminded him of a warm, sweet black coffee with two sugars?


Author's notes: A very short one, but sweet all the same - like that small, sweet solitary biscuit left in the biscuit tin for you to savour and relish in the fact that you got the last one.
