Both of them were completely still. John could almost feel Sherlock's eyes drilling a hole in his own, and the more he tried to remain calm, the more he could feel his hands shaking. His chest could compete with Morias's drums in the deep, as he was sure anyone to a mile radius could hear his heart race as if it were trying to escape.
He exhaled slowly through his nose, narrowing his eyes. 'let's play it his way', he thought.
'Can't you deduce that ?' he asked. 'You always deduce everything. You've deduced me since I passed that bloody door at Barts.'
'Maybe, John. But as you so brilliantly pointed out, one does not answer to a question with another question'.
'Fair enough. May I just ask why, though. Why do you care ? You never care about people's feelings'
'I'm waiting, John '
'God, Sherlock, of course I do fancy you. As matter of fact, I...'
Oh god, why was it so hard to say ? John felt miserable. He felt like he was some hormone-full teenager. His face was most certainly completely pink, right now. This was stupid. He had always felt that it was easy with girls, whoever they were. Why was it so difficult this time ? Well, apart from the fact that the consulting dective was nothing like a teenage girl. Although he actually acted like one, sometimes. John smiled at this idea.
'You're gone again, John.' the clinical voice stated.
'Oh, yeah, sorry.'
Okay, be courageous. Breathe. Count 'til three. And go.
'I love you' he said timidly, his voice breaking on the last word.
'See ? That wasn't so hard, after all' he smiled. An engaging smile. Ohmygod, Sherlock was smiling, for real. Towards him. This triggered a complete chaos in John's brain. He could hear his inner voices shouting all sorts of things, from girlish squeals to injuctions to kiss the black-haired man.
He went for the last option. He climbed on his knees on the sofa, reaching out to finally gently rest his hands on Sherlock's cheeks. They where hotter than expected. Good start. He leant towards his high-functioning sociopath, and closed his eyes as he shyly lay a soft kiss on his lips.
He pulled back slowly, opening his eyes. To his surprise, Sherlock's were now closed. His arms weren't crossed anymore, he had left his hands slip on his lap, palms facing up, and was breathing heavily through his half-opened mouth.
'Are you allright, Sherlock?' John asked in a soft voice.
'Y-Yes'. His voice was husky. Eyes still closed, he bit his lip before adding 'More.'
Butterflies. Butterflies all over John's stomach. A wide smile covered his face, his eyes capturing every inch of Sherlock's features. He looked lost, demanding, and oh god so handsome. And those ebony curls... John buried his right hand in them, letting his other hand softly slip on his neck. He kissed him once again, deeper, waves of pleasure destroying his brain cells inch by inch. And suddenly, Sherlok's fists were clenched on the bottom of his jumper, just above his belt buckle. John moaned, fighting the impulse to rip both their clothes off, gathering enough courage to pull back. Their foreheads were touching, and he looked right into his high-functionning sociapth's cristal-clear eyes. 'I don't want to go too fast' he whispered.
Sherlock unfolded his legs and pulled him closer. His cheeks were burning, eyes filled with lust. He grinned. 'I know that's a lie, John. I can see you want more'.
'Well, I - '
Sherlock shushed him with a passionate kiss, dragging the doctor on top of him.
'And you don't need my permission' he added in a moan, wrapping his legs around John's waist.
So, this is the end. I don't write lemon, I leave it to your imagination. I thought this was a good place to end my story. Not too much, not another plot twist where everyone gets involved and Sherlock backpedals and John is sad and then puts himself in danger and Sherlock saves him and everything goes back to normal, and blahblahblah. None of that.
I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it, and pleaaaase review - I hate when a writer asks that, but it really is encouraging, especially on a first story -
See you soon :)
