My NSFW request was something of John and Sherlock getting together/being together and Sherlock is quiet, or shy, and John is worried/tries to get Sherlock comfortable, or vocal.
I saw one where John and Sherlock got together drunkingly, and John moaned Mary's name somewhere at the end, and so Sherlock thought he was "filling in for Mary". So he would be quiet but still invite John for sex, and John thought they were dating for each other and was worried and wondered why Sherlock would hide under the blanket, or be quiet, or wouldn't actually touch himself.
So he would try to google or learn on how to be better at sex or other ways to get Sherlock vocal or at least more open/less shy, but couldn't figure it out. They eventually talk and John finds out it's because the first time, and they go to bed properly and start their actual relationship.
The Mary stuff made me sad, I would prefer something of John wanting to help his shy boyfriend Sherlock but without the sad misunderstanding of Mary. I really like the idea of Sherlock being shy or quiet, and John wanting to help Sherlock be more confident or loud. If you know anything like that, I'd love them.

Hi Nonny!
Oh!! Yes, I have two similar fics, and one of them is the one you're referencing:
Acceptable Behaviour by bbcatemysoul (M, 3,449 w., 1 Ch. || Fluff, Developing Relationship, Miscommunication, First Time) – Sherlock isn't really sure why John wants to shag him, but he's certain that if he's careful to behave properly about it, John can be persuaded to keep doing it. In other news, John is a good boyfriend and Sherlock is an idiot.
On the Losing Side by missselene (E, 8,210 w., 1 Ch. || Anal / Oral, First Kiss / Time, Angst, Misunderstandings, Mild Dub Con / Drunk John) – After Mary's death, John moves back into Baker Street, but is still upset at the loss of his wife and child. Eventually, he and Sherlock stumble into a sort of relationship, but it's more physical than anything and they don't talk about it. They especially don't talk during sex. If they are going to have sex, Sherlock notices the signs hours beforehand, and he prepares carefully. The lights are off, they're under the covers, he prepares himself using lots of lube so he can make it feel as much like a woman as he can, and he doesn't let himself make any noise so that, if John wishes, he can pretend that he's still with Mary.

Otherwise, you might find more fics to the genre you're looking for on my Communication list. I know I've been recced similar in the past, and would love my Lovelies to help me out again. I should really make a specific list for "Learning Together" or something, yeah. 🙃
