((That's fine. I can make some stuff up, and maybe this will just end up being a sweet, relaxing scene. My guess is that they might be needing a break anyways. I hope you feel better!!! Also, based off of your note the other day, the one case where I really wish I was a boy is with oral- it seems like that would be a lot more enjoyable with a penis))
Okay, so getting to strip Sherlock might be one of the sexiest things ever. John wasn't sure what it was, but the act of taking off Sherlock's clothes made him shiver, something about getting to reveal the marble white skin bit by bit.
He shivered even more however, when Sherlock started kissing him passionately while squeezing his ass. God, that man was a fast learned- give it another month or so and he would be able to take John apart completely just by kissing him. The shock of suddenly having Sherlock at eye level (he was currently pulling down John's pants) took John's breath away- he was able to see every speck of color in Sherlock's eyes, the browns, grays, blues, and greens that would shift and change based off his mood.
They eventually made it into the shower and John got the water at the proper temperature- he liked his showers hot, it helped ease the stiffness in his shoulder. It was particularly stiff at the moment because of the change in his sleeping position, it would take some time to adjust to having another person in his bed.
He turned around to have Sherlock staring at him like a new corpse at Bart's, which was...odd, he still had to decide whether it was a good odd or a bad odd. He tried to make a joke, and then nearly lost his balance at the shock of Sherlock asking to touch his scar.
"I don't know, it's not really something I like to be reminded of..." John said hesitantly.
"It's nothing to be ashamed of. It's a part of your past, avoiding it won't make it go away. I want all of you, no omissions," Sherlock stated in a tone that was still matter-of-fact, but surprisingly gentle for him.
John closed his eyes, "Fine, it's...fine, go ahead."
John felt a gentle touch lightly brush around the perimeter of the scar, tracing the star-shaped welt from the bullet, and then down the thinner, diagonal incision line from the removal surgery. He covered the scar thoroughly with his fingers, then poked at the muscle of John's shoulder, feeling it at different distances from the wound, and moving John's shoulder around.
Suddenly the touches change, feeling soothing rather than probing. John lets out an involuntary sigh as he feels the muscles in his shoulders rolled and pressed, slowly loosening under the pressure.
"You're very stiff," Sherlock observes, murmuring the words quietly in John's ear, "the new variable of having another person in your bed effected the normal position you sleep in, causing the state. It will take some time to acclimate to the new conditions, though you would likely be aided by more carefully positioning yourself on the other side of me when we go to sleep so that you will not roll onto this shoulder while asleep in an attempt to bring yourself closer to me for purposes of body warmth."
"That feels wonderful, I haven't had a massage in ages," John says, not really paying attention to Sherlock's babbling. He feels the tension ease away until his shoulder is more flexible and relaxed than it has been for weeks. He turns and pulls Sherlock into his arms for a soft kiss.
"Thank you. Hey, lean down a touch, let me wash your hair."
John squirts shampoo into his hands and carefully rubs it into Sherlock's hair, working his fingers through all of Sherlock's curls and gently massaging his scalp. He hears what almost sounds like a purr coming out of Sherlock.
He starts talking a bit as he scrubs the black curls, "We should get dressed a bit and eat. I can make up tea and some toast, or eggs if you prefer. I do have to go into work at 3, but maybe after I can take you out on a real date- I'm technically supposed to buy you dinner before I bed you, though you never did play by the rules. How does Angelo's sound? He'll be thrilled to finally be able to call me your date and not hear any objection."
((Hopefully this works for you. We can scrap the date idea if you want, have Sherlock get a case or something. Figured I'd give everyone a short break from passionate sex, at least long enough for you to feel better and the boys to have a shower. We should probably try to keep them clean for at least an hour or so, if only so that they don't run up a ridiculous water bill
