Sherlock Holmes (

bless the hotel
They wake up again.
It's different this time. Rather than face to face, Jim's back is to Sherlock's chest, and Sherlock's arm is folded over him protectively. Suits gone, both in rumpled men's pajamas.

"Sherlock."
Quiet, murmured.
"We have got to stop meeting like this."
no subject
A little slower to rise. Nuzzling against the back of his neck.
no subject
"Shrelock."
A little more warning to his tone.
no subject
"Jim?"
no subject
Flopping onto his back with a sigh.
no subject
Shaken.
no subject
He sits up, a little abruptly.
"I'm starting to think the hotel has it in for us."
no subject
Frankly incomprehensible.
no subject
"Maybe it's a romantic at heart."
no subject
Scrubbing at his eyes.
no subject
Jim giggles, before glancing down at himself.
"The pajamas are a nice touch."
no subject
He has to correct.

Jim is sometimes very strange.
no subject
"Feeling alright?"
no subject
He admits.
"No, I feel unsteady."
no subject
Resting his chin on his palm, mocking the part of the therapist.
no subject
no subject
"Alright. I've got a proposition for you, Sherlock."
no subject
And promising nothing.
no subject
He looks- different in the pajamas somehow, all soft and cuddly, his hair unkempt from sleep. Smaller, almost. Like a real person, instead of a bomb waiting to explode.
"The times we've met before, we've complied because we were under the notion that we had to- and we might have very well been. But with a few offhand comments and a glance at a note, we can already glean the nature of the hotel. And darling, if we put our minds to it, I bet we could do a whole lot more than glean."
no subject
Obviously.
"But for what? I understand the aim, but not the proposed methodology."
no subject
Crawling forward a little, his eyes searching Sherlock's own- alight, devious, excited.
"We can tumble and open the door now, but our eyes will be open, yes? There'll be times when she'll slip- the handwritten note, that was a doozy- and we'll catch her and profile her. Sooner or later, we'll have enough information to try and mount a defense."
no subject
He proposes.
"Contrast our sexual histories and the demands made of us. Presume, for argument's sake, that every sexual interaction is orchestrated, in one way or another- understand similarities, patterns, discrepancies."
no subject
Gleeful.
"You'll have to try very, very hard, but I think it's manageable."
