miniFILL: Luv you, babe (2/2)

"I was merely ensuring that we would remain undisturbed for an extra several hours in the morning, giving us plenty of time to complete our examination of the empty room next door," Sherlock replied calmly. "I understand that such playful fondling is considered evidence of a robust sexual relationship, reinforcing our cover and underlining the need for privacy. Doing it in private would not have had the desired effect." Noticing John's expression, frozen somewhere between hilarity, humiliation and barely-contained rage, Sherlock sighed. "Your acting was...good," he conceded. "I relied on your predictably excessive blushing to add a layer of veracity to the situation." He sent a surreptitious glance at John.

John had stared at Sherlock, who was still nervously awaiting his reaction, then dissolved into helpless giggles. After a moment, Sherlock had joined in.

"John!"

John jumped, dropping the sappy smile that had unconsciously spread across his face while reminiscing. That really needed to stop. "What now, Sherlock? I have to finish unpacking the groceries before the milk goes off."

"As you haven't moved for the past 17 minutes, the milk cannot be your primary concern," Sherlock responded, striding past the kitchen fully dressed. At John's questioning look, he doubled back grinning. "Case. Female found in Bayswater. Potential cannibalism."

John abandoned the groceries, hurrying after Sherlock. "What, someone'd chewed on the body?"

"No. Basted. For roasting, I assume."

John wrinkled his nose. "Disgusting. Just let me get my coat."

"Already got it." Sherlock tossed John's jacket at him. "Wouldn't want you getting a chill, pet."

John looked upwards, begging whatever deity was bothering to listen for patience. "Just don't call me that in front of Lestrade and the rest, I'll never live it down."

"Never," Sherlock agreed, an amused glint in his eye. "Doing it in public wouldn't have the desired effect." He held the front door open, gesturing for John to go through.

"After you, babe."

I keep switching between giggling and clapping my hands like a child. This is so exactly what I asked for, thank you! I'd kiss you if I could stop grinning, anon! And if we weren't, y'know, separated by the internet and all that.
