“Ask me, John.” Sherlock says, sounding all too serious, and John lets out a quiet laugh.
“Do we really have to?” he replies, but indulges him anyway. “Alright. First time we kissed?”
“Two month after you’ve moved back to Baker Street, 2nd of march 2016, in the afternoon, 4:56 pm to be precise,” Sherlock replies immediately. “You tasted of green tea and chocolate, and the first touch of our lips lasted 37 seconds.”
John feels his lips curl into an even wider smile, “First time you realised you loved me?”
“April 2010, you were reading a book in your chair and looked up at me, smiling,” Sherlock explains, his entire face softening as he stroke one finger along John’s jaw.
“You bloody romantic,” John smiles, leaning for a kiss before saying, “First time you realised I was in love with you?”
“February 2016,” Sherlock replies. “You stopped hiding.”
John steals another kiss from Sherlock’s lips, “I did.”
Sherlock sighs, leaning into him, “Continue.”
“Love, your memory is just fine. We don’t have to do this all the time,” John tries to reassure him.
“I can’t forget any of this, John,” Sherlock breathes out. “I can’t let it happen.”
“You won’t,” John promises. “I’ll be there to remind you. Always.”
