________________________________________________
I see you
John sat down at the table in the kitchen, rested both his elbows on the tabletop and carefully blew on the steaming hot liquid in the mug he was holding in his hands.
While he waited for his tea to cool down a little bit, he watched Sherlock over the rim of his mug. His friend, no, lover, John corrected himself with a smug little grin that was hidden by the mug, was reading the paper with his usual concentration. Or wasn’t he? He definitely had been staring at that exact same spot for quite a while now.
“John,” Sherlock said without looking up, “you’re looking at me again.”
“Yes.”
“Stop.”
“Why? I like looking at you.”
“It’s distracting.”
“It’s never distracted you before.”
“That was different.”
“Different? How?”
“I used to know why you looked at me. But now… I wonder what you are looking at, what you are seeing and what you are thinking about, looking at me. I try to figure out if maybe looking makes you want to do things and then I start to want things and I get distracted.”
“You lost me at the part where I want to do things to you, because, God yes, I do.”
They looked at each other, newspaper and tea forgotten, and then John licked his lips and Sherlock blushed.
