Work Text:
Sherlock and John were in the kitchen on a Sunday morning, making breakfast for the family and coffee for the two of them. As John was mixing some waffle batter in a bowl, Sherlock was just staring at his husband. They have been together for many years and there has never been a day that Sherlock has never been in love with John. And even though, sometimes, Sherlock gets on John’s nerves, John will always be in love with his husband too. There was nothing that anyone could do to tear them and their family apart.
“I wonder what you would taste like naked and covered in waffle batter?” Sherlock suddenly spoke up. John smirked.
“Don’t you think syrup would be a better choice? ...Or even using honey for something like that?” John asked back.
“No. Both of them are too sticky. ...I would not mind using fruit again but I am always up for something new to try when it comes to our sex life.” Sherlock replied back.
“Honestly, I would not mind you doing such a thing to me.” John suddenly said to him. Sherlock smirked this time.
“Oh? You really would not mind me doing something like that to you again?” Sherlock asked a couple of questions again to his husband. John nodded back. He put down the bowl of waffle batter on the counter top then turned to look at Sherlock.
“I really don't mind you doing that. Not at all. I mean...it would not be the first time we have explored your food kink.” John replied back to him. Sherlock felt a bit excited.
“It has been such a while since we have talked about things like this. Quite a while in fact.” Sherlock said to John. John nodded in agreement.
“It really has been.” John said back to him. Sherlock moved a little closer to John and wrapped his arms around him as they kept on looking at each other.
“But what I miss most is having moments like this. Just the two of us. Alone.” Sherlock also said to him, too.
“Same here.” John spoke back.
“I love you, John.” Sherlock suddenly spoke to his hubby. John smiled.
“I love you, too, dear.” John said back to him.
“Are you two going to make out in there or something?” A tiny voice spoke from behind John. It was Cybil’s voice. Sherlock looked up at her. The two men were so into each other at the moment that they did not hear their daughter come out of her room and stepped near the archway that leads into the kitchen from the living room.
“No, Cybil, sweetheart. That is not what we are going to do in here.” Sherlock replied to her. Though...Sherlock was not against the idea.
“I mean...it is not like the first time I have seen you both kiss each other. And I mean really kiss each other.” Cybil spoke back to her papa. Sherlock just stood there while John looked at him with a smile on his face. Neither of her parents said anything back to her about that. Though...she is telling the truth. Cybil does not mind when her parents kiss in front of her. Actually, she thinks it is sweet.
“I am going to go potty and be right back.” Cybil told them. She turned around and headed to the bathroom. John and Sherlock looked at each other once again.
“Well...are we?” Sherlock suddenly asked John.
“Are we what exactly?” John asked back.
“Make out?” Sherlock asked as a reply to John’s question. John blushed. Sherlock chuckled.
“So cute.” Sherlock thought to himself. It seems that John did not want to make out since their daughter was now up for the day. Sherlock got an idea.
“We can just kiss if you prefer that. Does not have to go beyond that.” Sherlock suggested to him. Before Sherlock could get anj answer or even say another word to his husband, John quickly pressed his lips up against Sherlock’s. Sherlock accepted John’s kiss. He felt like he was on cloud nine right now but when it comes to John, Sherlock was always going to be on cloud nine and never coming down from it. Ever .
The two of them pulled away when they heard the bathroom door suddenly open and footsteps coming towards the kitchen once again. Both of them turned around this time to look at their child.
“By the way, what is for breakfast? I see things out on the counter.” Cybil asked and said to them. John also just remembered that he was making waffles before all of this happened. This time, John got an idea.
“Would you like to help Papa and I make waffles?” John suggested to her. Cybil’s eyes lit up. She loves helping her parents cook, no matter what time of the day it is.
“Yes, please!” Cybil happily replied to him. Cybil came into the kitchen and began to help John finish making breakfast for the three of them. Even if they have not had much of a sex life since bringing Cybil into their home and their lives, they are still very much happy with the way things are. Not just with their sex life but just in general, too.
Sherlock and John are a happy couple but with Cybil as well, they are truly one, very happy family. The three of them made somewhat of a huge mess in the kitchen while making the waffles but at least...it was fun while doing so. John, Sherlock and Cybil had flour and such all over their faces and clothes, too. Cybil looked around the kitchen and counter tops.
“Oops. I didn't mean to make a huge mess Sorry, daddy.” Cybil said to him. John shrugged.
“Do not have to apologize. We will just clean it up...after breakfast.” John said back then smiled at her. Cybil smiled back and hugged her daddy.
“I love you and Papa so much!” Cybil told them. John hugged her back.
“We love you so much, too, Cybbie.” Sherlock spoke back to her. Sherlock and John finished making the plates of waffles for all of them and sat at the table in the kitchen to eat their breakfasts. It was truly a wonderful morning on this day for the Holmes-Watson household. Though, Sherlock and John did wonder about their sex life but for now, they just wanted to focus on Cybil. They will sex again….just when is what they kept wondering about. Regardless, sex was not a huge part of their marriage but the connection that Sherlock and John have between the two of them.
And in the end, that is all that matters for the two husbands.
And their family.
The End
