As John mountaineered the stairs leading into the flat that was 221B, a sudden chill arose around him. Even though it was winter and at the time was snowing outside this type of cold was unsettling, unnecessary and strange. John knew immediately what was up.
He rushed up the stairs as best as he could before reaching the door which led to absolute chaos. The one that led to the man he knew had done something.
"Sherlock. What have you done this time?" Spoke the blond to his fellow flatmate. Even though he couldn't see him he knew the tall brunette would be able to hear him and he defiantly knew he was in as they hadn't picked up a case in weeks due to Sherlock denying them all on the basis of them being too boring.
"Experiment John." Was all the smaller man heard and instantly knew that the deep voice was coming from the kitchen, which is where he headed next rounding the corner to meet Sherlock... But not just Sherlock, but Sherlock in one of his jumpers.
John had to admit that it looked a bit tight on the man as there immediate height difference was a problem but John just had to also admit that he liked this sight. Sherlock had never borrowed his clothes before (or at least to Johns knowledge) but it was a sight he wanted to see more as the blood rushed to his cheeks in a rush.
By know Sherlock had turned to him without him noticing, staring the man down trying to decipher whether he had done anything wrong to make John suddenly freeze in the kitchen. Yet weirdly for once he didn't know, it was odd for him, Yet he bet it had something to do with feelings something he was just coming to terms with and something john had been teaching both out and in the house ; ). John snapped out of his trance with a small cough to alleviate the growing tension in the room and followed it up with "So why is it so bloody cold in here?"
"I broke the thermostat." spoke the other in reply.
"Well how did you do that?"
"As I said earlier experiment. Also its not that cold, if you were actually cold you wouldn't be standing here talking to me but would in fact be going to you room into the second draw of your draw set and getting one of your knitted jumpers to warm you up you would also have started making tea, bit not just for yourself but also me as you have grown into the habit of making 2 cups of tea ever since you moved in. You'd also be trying to convince me to come cuddle with you on the couch or do other alleviating activities, so its actually not that cold.
John stood there trying to figure out what the other meant only just pushing out the sentence, "Well I only just got in mate."
"That's true but you would have made a start"
"Sure, so will you finish your experiment now and come cuddle after I make tea and get my jumper which you seem to be enjoying whole heartedly."
"Sure." was all Sherlock said not acknowledging Johns last words as if he was so comfortable he had forgot he put it on and that made John just smile a little more on how Sherlock had now grown more comfortable around him all due to the stupid thermostat.
