It started from scratch
Over the years all couples develop their own traditions, things that they do together and only together, rituals that make them feel their intimate connection and give comfort.
Sherlock and John have a few of those, but only one started with the words ‘That’s what you get when you sleep with someone else.’
They were in the bathroom and that was John talking, in case you were wondering, and he was talking about a medical issue. He was not talking about sexually transmitted diseases, because we all know Sherlock would not do that kind of sleeping with other people.
He did sleep with someone else though. For a case, of course. He spent a few nights among his contacts from the homeless network and what he did get (besides the information he needed) was lice.
Luckily his husband is a doctor, he didn’t panic, he didn’t find it disgusting - in fact, he might have even been a little bit amused. He bought the medicated shampoo and the comb and went to work.
After the lice were gone John continued to comb Sherlock’s hair regularly, at first to check that there was no new outbreak and then because they both enjoyed it
Sherlock was just lucky that he didn’t get pubic lice. That would’ve resulted in a serious case of blue balls.
