Summary
“Sherlock,” he says quietly, shifting over beneath the now-ruined quilt. “Do you want children?”
Sherlock stares at the ceiling, makes no indication that he’s heard John at all, but after a moment, he turns his head to meet John’s gaze. “Look at our lives, John. What a preposterous notion.”
John thinks for a moment, processes what Sherlock has said, and decides to push it. He doesn’t want Sherlock to settle, not ever; he deserves to be effervescently happy. John had made a very real promise to him, just hours before, that he’d be sure to be the one to make that happen for Sherlock. “Our lives are insane, yes, but you didn’t answer the question, did you?”

Proposing shouldn't be this difficult.
Written for this prompt at the kink meme: Remember that episode of Friends where Chandler is going to propose to Monica and how he pretends that he doesn't care about marriage so she'll be really surprised? How about a version of it with Sherlock and John with Sherlock being the one that wants to propose but pretends that he has no desire for it?

Summary
John is too quiet. Sherlock whisks him away to the sea.
They sit in silence for long moments, watching the sun begin its descent into the horizon as the light slowly fades to a glorious gold. Their arms brush occasionally as they sip their stout, and Sherlock feels each touch like an open flame, waiting. For what, he's not sure.

Summary
“People would talk,” he tries, repurposing an old line, a shortcut to a recurring theme in their lives.
“They do little else.” John dutifully completes the circuit with a sigh. “Sherlock,” he continues haltingly, eyes falling back to his hands as he considers his words. “Would they be wrong, though, really?”
