Yep, I wrote another smutty fic today:

You Shield Me – John protecting Sherlock from thugs is nothing new. Neither is Sherlock protecting John from his nightmares.

Sherlock winced as the gun blast echoed in the space. He glanced over to see John had moved his gun to a different target. But the men were dropping weapons now, the wounded one holding his arm. Sherlock’s phone was in his hand, already texting Lestrade. He couldn’t help but see the fear on their faces, the ice in John’s eyes. They were amateurs: John was not.

“Look, man, we didn’t want any trouble,” said one, keeping his hands up. John’s gun never wavered.

“The police will be here shortly,” said Sherlock, taking in the young man. Broken home, occasional drug use. Typical.

“You all right, Sherlock?” John’s voice was as calm as if discussing a cup of tea.

Sherlock stepped closer to him, barely brushed his hip with his hand. “Quite all right.”

John’s eyes flickered to Sherlock, tongue wetting his lips as he shifted his hold on the gun imperceptibly. Sherlock looked towards the door, small smile on his face. There was the sound of cars and he knew the police had arrived.

“Here are your thieves, Inspector,” said Sherlock as Lestrade led the way inside. “John shot one.”

“Just a little,” said John quickly. “He’s fine.”

Lestrade muttered about paperwork as John quickly slid his gun back into his jeans, covering it up with his jacket. Sherlock watched the action closely, never tired of it. More police were arriving now and they quickly slipped out the side door.

“Let’s get some dinner on the way home,” said John as if he hadn’t just been staring down half a dozen armed men.

Sherlock made a non-committed noise as they walked back towards the main road. He tugged John into an alley once they were far enough from the police cars and kissed him deeply. If it was up to him he’d kiss John in front of the Queen and everyone, but he knew John would rather fewer people know about them. And contrary to John’s belief he did listen. Sometimes.
