Reliance
Rated: G
There are many things to which I can rely on Watson to do.
I can rely on him to always remember to bring extra bullets and that our weapons have been properly cleaned and oiled. I can rely on Watson to-not exactly tidy because he is a bachelor as well, after all, but organize my things in a way that they are neither in my or anyone else’s way while still being easily locatable. I can rely on him to remain calm in the face of danger and courageous in the face of adversity (as I discovered once when a heckler sneered at my casual touches of him when I had wished to merely deduce where he had been and when I quickly pulled my hand back, he merely held it tightly within his and folded his arm around mine as he led me away from the loathsome man and continued to do so even though the man had passed well out of sight). I can rely on him to berate me to eat because on occasion I do need it and I can rely on him to protest vehemently against my use of cocaine because I need that too.
And that is one more thing I have come to rely on of Watson, to be exactly what I need. He is a business partner when I require one, a fighter when my back needs covering. He is my light when all I can see is dark. He is my morale and confidence when we have been sitting in the rain for several hours with no sign of our quarry. He is my heart when my brain is too busy to bother, his soft words either directed to our emotionally wrought clients or to me on occasion when I forget, forget that…
I can thoroughly rely on Watson to love me, though I am a despicable creature at times and merely an entertaining faculty for brilliant deduction at best.
I can thoroughly rely on Watson to find something else in my capricious soul and act as a mirror to reflect the good he finds in there by proving its existence through the utter loyalty he devotes to me.
I can thoroughly rely on John H. Watson because I love him as well.

“God, Sherlock, ahhhng-” Watson let out a half-cry of utter bliss as Sherlock slid out from him once more.
Holmes smiled, only registered by the silken soft skin of Watson’s back where the flushed column of his neck met his decidedly masculine shoulders. He canted his hips forward and let his cock slide back into the tight and unfettered heat of his companion, earning himself another breathless cry.
When Holmes’ hand snaked towards Watson’s prick, it was met with renewed hardness and fresh desire for his touch.
Holmes’ smile widened. There were things to which Watson could be thoroughly relied upon.
His stamina was one of them.
“Fuck me, Sherlock and convince me to stay or I will return to courting Mary at once,” Watson growled.
His next thrust hit his prostrate and Watson’s fingers twisted in the coverlet underneath Holmes’, anchoring him to the bed, though by this time he need not bother. Watson remained because of the seventy-three other things of which Watson could be thoroughly relied upon…
His insatiable sexual appetite was another.
