Summary:

day 3 scentember prompt: rain on pavement

Notes:

v short ficlet :)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

John looks as his boyfriend sticks his head out of the window and peers down, apparently not caring of the rain pelting his inky-black curls.

Several seconds past. "Uh, Sherlock?" John says, inching closer.

"Yes, John?" Sherlock replies, not moving from his position.

"May I enquire as to what you are doing?"

"Smelling the rain and observing the droplet patterns on the pavement."

"May I ask why?"

"Because I want to."

John stares at Sherlock for a bit before deciding that that's a decent enough answer. About a minute goes by before John grudgingly asks, "Can I join you?"

In response, Sherlock shimmies over to the right and John joins him on the left. They spend a long time like that, just the two of them admiring the rain - and each other.

Notes:

hope you enjoyed!
