Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, John Watson/Mary Morstan
Prompt: starving, hysterical, naked / That itch you just can't scratch.
Summary: John must have made some answer. Certainly, his lips were moving and Sherlock was vaguely aware of sounds reaching his ears. His brain, however, thoroughly refused to cooperate, to focus on anything other than the sight laid out before him. John, his coat collar turned up against the rain, taking a long pull on the cigarette that had so recently been in Sherlock's mouth. The way his lips curled tightly around the cigarette, his cheeks hollowed ever so slightly, his eyes half-closed in an expression reminiscent of, well, other pleasures.

This was potentially problematic.

Not only does he make a reliable and relatable companion on any number of my little problems and mysteries, as well as a respectful flatmate and decent biographer, but he has saved my skin more times than I can count. So it is only natural that, when Watson requires my assistance in a similar matter, I rise to the occasion.
