The Bright Spot Meme


(Was there every a more suitable meme for dear Molly?)

punchmeitssubtext: (Not bad.)

[personal profile] punchmeitssubtext 2017-01-28 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
The sunlight is very pleasant, as is the warm weight pressing against him all along one side. He's drowsing, comfortable, the busy parts of his brain still basking in welcome rest.

So when she moves, it's something other than his brain that makes him sigh faintly and roll towards her to tuck her against him. Even if he doesn't know it on a higher, conscious level, he doesn't want her out of his reach. Not yet.
punchmeitssubtext: (Gotcha.)

It's the meow that pulls him back towards wakefulness, a sound asking to be identified. His expression sort of tips downwards for a moment as he starts sleepily assembling the context for that noise.

"Mittens," he says after a moment, his voice still thick. "Mm. Good morning. I think. Wait--yes, it's before noon, the way your window's facing."

It's not unlike an engine sputtering before turning over, the way he sort of drops bits of his thought process.

(There are messages on Molly's phone, too.

Sherlock didn't show up this morning. Has he tried to get in touch recently?

Sent: 10:32 AM

If you ever need me to talk to him about it, or punch him in the face about it, let me know. But if I'm honest, good on you.)
punchmeitssubtext: (Gotcha.)

His eyes are still closed, but he's smiling now, that slanting smile that he reserves for moments when he's well and truly pleased about something.

"Really well, thanks." Sherlock breathed in, out, and finally his eyes fluttered open. It took him a second to find a focus on her, but the pleased look didn't fade a bit. "You?"
punchmeitssubtext: (Gotcha.)

[personal profile] punchmeitssubtext 2017-01-29 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
"And after I brought you coffee, even." His smile quirks. He hadn't expected to be so calm after earlier, but he feels renewed and calm and not at all bored, which aren't generally three things that go together for him.

It's pretty brilliant.

"We'll get to do this part again later, right?"
punchmeitssubtext: (Gotcha.)

[personal profile] punchmeitssubtext 2017-01-29 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Ugh." His nose wrinkles. It doesn't chase away the grin, though. "That is a revolting word for something this enjoyable, Molly."
punchmeitssubtext: (Gotcha.)

[personal profile] punchmeitssubtext 2017-01-29 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't know. First time I've thought about it, actually." One of his hands flattens against her back, sunlight and her hair both a tangled spill over his knuckles. "I'll have to look up alternatives later and get back to you."
punchmeitssubtext: (Gotcha.)

[personal profile] punchmeitssubtext 2017-01-29 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
He captures that sigh for later, guiding it under glass in his mind like some frail insect, to be studied later with things like her laughter and the press of her lips against the corner of his mouth. It feels like an accomplishment.

Her breath tickling his throat, though, that's different. It feels... warmer, not just physically but in some other way he's having trouble classifying at the moment. His heart speeds up a little at the sensation of her face burrowing into his neck.

There's a reason he hates wearing a tie, or even keeping his shirt collar buttoned all the way. There's a reason the only scarf he owns is ridiculously expensive and softer than anything else in his possession. And abruptly he realizes having a sensitive neck is something he now has to think about in an entirely new context.

She shifts a little against him, and that extra heat suddenly makes sense, too.

"Um." He's been in more awkward situations than this, arguably, but it still makes his ears burn. "You're--welcome to ignore that."
punchmeitssubtext: (Biology doesn't lie.)

[personal profile] punchmeitssubtext 2017-01-29 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Oh, that doesn't help the situation at all. Sherlock swallows, mouth suddenly dry. He's never wanted this in reality, only sort of on principle when one of his physical needs asserts itself on occasion, but now that he thinks about it there's no one he'd rather try this with than Molly.

"More than welcome," he whispers. His body's betraying him, pupils blowing wide and pulse kicking into high speed, and there's something about this that's like being high in all the right ways.
punchmeitssubtext: (Biology doesn't lie.)

[personal profile] punchmeitssubtext 2017-01-29 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
A sigh shivers out of him. Some distant part of his mind notices that it's fascinating how his body is helping to selectively narrow his perceptions--and then that part shuts down, because there's a lot of power getting rerouted to sheer sensory and emotional intake.

He tips his head back, a thoughtless little movement, eyes closing.
punchmeitssubtext: (Down for the count.)

[personal profile] punchmeitssubtext 2017-01-29 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
She's assertive, a confidence Sherlock hadn't thought to guess her capable of, and his fingers are tingling as they slide up into her hair. He's rapidly losing his grip on self-control, unable to reach for anything like a poker face while she's tasting him like this. Again his breath shudders in, and when it escapes him this time there's sound behind it: a short, rumbling moan.

His hips lift a little, tilting towards her.
punchmeitssubtext: (Down for the count.)

[personal profile] punchmeitssubtext 2017-01-29 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. Yes. Exactly." Words are very difficult right now. The consonants run together, their rattling almost obscuring what he means, and Molly's voice is entering a range he's never heard it in before and that's so exciting he's having unprecedented levels of trouble with vocabulary retrieval. "Safest option. For now. The shirt can go, though. Any time."

Her mouth on his skin makes him aware that this is part of the function of his nerves. That he can feel and interpret pleasure from another human being. And he realizes, on some wordless level, that Molly knows her way around a living body every bit as well as a dead one.

It's a thought that knocks the breath out of him again, this time in the shape of her name.
punchmeitssubtext: (Down for the count.)

When he wakes up hard in his own bed--because of course he does, his brain might be extraordinary but it's housed in a human body--he either lets the situation deflate on its own, or he takes care of it as quickly as possible. It's always been entirely practical for him, the way hunger is, or the need for sleep when that manages to drag him down.

In Molly's bed it's different in a way he didn't think possible.

She's looking at him, taking in exactly what she's done to him and exactly what it means even as he pushes himself up and backwards to sit up for her. Molly is observing him, mentally disassembling clues and putting them back together in a proper order.

Brainy is the new sexy, Irene Adler said to him. He had no idea, he thinks, just how right she was.

"Better?"
punchmeitssubtext: (You've always counted.)

[personal profile] punchmeitssubtext 2017-01-29 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
The look she gives him is both fond and wicked, somehow, and it stays burned into the backs of his eyelids for a second when she kisses him again. People have given him all sorts of looks, and he's not so oblivious he hasn't been able to recognize other people undressing him with their eyes (which happens for a reason he's not at all sure of and only sometimes remembers to exploit), but this one registers because it's Molly. This one he'll have to make a study of.

Later, though. Right now she's unbuttoning his shirt, careful and efficient even though her eyes are closed.

She must have to undress corpses like this all the time, he thinks suddenly, and he doesn't know why that makes him even harder.
