Chapter Text
John sighed as he scrubbed another dish in the sink. Mariana cooked, therefore he cleaned the dishes. Sherlock was taking Archie on a walk, they all had chores, the same exact ones most days, as they catered to Sherlocks sensory needs, like not touching gross food under the hot water.
John hummed softly to himself, listening to Mariana type emails while she sat on their couch, legs tucked under her. The front door opened, a panting Sherlock and a very happy Archie spilled through. Mariana let out a laugh and John went out to see what happened.
Sherlock was standing there, face bright red and hair drenched in water.
“Mate, what happened?-“ John asked, a smile plastered onto his face despite his best efforts.
“Archie decided to chase a bird. He got out of his harness and ran into a children’s splash pad, he gave up and just sat down in the middle, so I had to go in it and get him, hence, soaked.” Sherlock sighed, unhooking Archie from his lead, who promptly jumped onto Mariana’s lap.
“Good boy Archie!” She was grinning brightly, which only got brighter when Sherlock let out an annoyed sigh as he went into his room to change, and John went back to dishes.
