Today's prompt:
________________________________________________
Surprisingly normal
The sound originated in the living room, it erupted like an exploding bomb and spread through the flat like a tidal wave. John was standing in the kitchen and almost dropped the plate he was holding.
"Jesus freaking Christ, Sherlock! Was that necessary?"
"What? I can't help it. It's an absolutely normal bodily function."
“Normal bodily function my arse. It’s an attack on your fellow men, that’s what it is.”

Two days later Sherlock did it at a crime scene.
All the heads swung around and everybody stared at him with a mixture of shock and surprise. Anderson complained that he was contaminating his crime scene. Lestrade came over to John and asked if that was normal or some kind of weird experiment. John could only shrug.
***
Then it happened when Mycroft was ‘visiting’ and the older Holmes set down his tea cup with more force than strictly necessary and said, “Good Lord, Sherlock.”
And left fairly soon.
***
When it kept happening, John asked Sherlock to go see a specialist, because by now he had realised that Sherlock wasn’t actually doing it on purpose. Sherlock refused.
“Unnecessary. It will be over soon.”
“And you know that for a fact?”
“Yes. Please stop worrying.”
“I can’t. I don’t think this is entirely normal.”
“It’s spring, John. I am merely allergic to birch.”
