The Bright Spot Meme


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

The sound she makes goes through him like an extra jolt of electricity, propelling him even higher. His hips buck uselessly, reflexively, several times before the pleasure ebbs and softens.

His breathing is harsh, ragged, his skin tingling like he's getting more oxygen in his lungs somehow.

"Christ."

Sherlock's laugh comes out breathless and low, almost a pleased purr.

"I could get a notebook at the gift shop," he huffs. "How scientific of you, Molly."

That last remark is all warmth. He may not know much about being affectionate or romantic, but he knows that it's safe to be genuine with her, even if it's still difficult.

This time he nearly wheezes, the laugh picking up volume and depth. (It actually spooks Toby out of his nap in the next room.)

"Wait, not like bingo, then? Line up any five and get a prize?"

"God, that sounds like something you'd see in a tabloid headline. Uni sex bingo parties."

There's something absurd and wonderful about lying in Molly's bed, half-naked and sticky and laughing at a terrible joke they're sharing even if she's halfway across the city from him. Because even though she keeps surprising him, he knows he can trust her, that if she's playful with him there's neither malice in it nor an attempt to sort of shame him into being a version of himself she'd prefer.

Plus this is every bit as fun as shadowing a suspect through a telling deviation in their daily routine.

Sherlock rolls over to grab some tissues off of Molly's own bedside table--and though he's tempted to look in the drawer at what she may or may not have in the way of condoms (and other things), his lazy pleased mood relaxes the urge out of him. He can choose to let her surprise him again, and he wants that.

"Well, I was planning to see if you still had leftover curry in the fridge. But I can stop by in a bit, if you like, though I did want to get some stuff done between now and dinner so it doesn't distract me tomorrow."
