Work Text:
In another life, John pushes the issue when Sherlock says he is ‘married to his work’. Asks if he’s ever considered a bit on the side.
And for the first time since they’ve met, the unflappable man... flaps. He stutters. He stumbles. Good Lord he even blushes.
Sherlocks shocked expression is priceless, so, in the candle light of the table, John smiles gently and presses his knee against the other man’s leg.
Sherlock looks at him like he’s a sexual deviant and refuses to let him move in.
