Sherlock - John/Sherlock
Sherlock made a point of greeting John when he returned home but he was surprised to be rebuked.
John looked exhausted with worry so Sherlock tried not to be dramatic but he rather resented sharing his self-realisation, “I appreciate cleanliness but you’ve showered the moment you get home for days. You have a certain natural musk that...”
John gaped, “Are you mad? I’ve been at work!”
When Sherlock failed to respond John looked first indignant and then some realisation struck him with affectionate surprise, “You haven’t noticed the pandemic virus that’s got half the world in lock down, have you?”

“I have been very busy on a case,” explained Sherlock as he watched John remove all of his clothing in a frankly erotic display of mechanical efficiency.
John walked immediately to the bathroom, Sherlock followed, disappointed to realise John looked leaner from working more and eating less.
“And you haven’t noticed that most of the country is working from home?”
“Explains the slow broadband.”
“That absolutely no one has come to see us in weeks?”
Sherlock had noticed that, “I rather liked it.”
John looked out of the shower and gave him the once over, “Get your kit off then.”
