Summary
“What happened, love?”
Sherlock tightens his hold on John and tucks himself into his neck so that John can no longer see his face. He mumbles against John’s skin and John has to listen very intently to catch what is being said.
“I wanted to make you some of those bath-bomby things you like so much. You like taking baths. It relaxes you, but you hardly ever spend money on luxury items. I thought I could make you some and then you could be relaxed without feeling guilty over a “needless” expense.”
John can feel the heat of Sherlock’s embarrassment where their skin touches. He is touched by the sentiment, but Sherlock hasn’t explained the bleach yet. So John waits.
“It didn’t go well.”
John breaks Sherlock’s hold so that he can turn and face the man. He runs his hand through Sherlock’s riotous silky black curls and is amused to find his fingers covered in gold flecks.
“You’ve got glitter in your hair, love.”
John chuckles and flutters his eyelashes against Sherlock’s temple. Sherlock relaxes into John. The man may swear he is above sentiment but John knows he has a particular weakness for butterfly kisses and soft touches.
