“Ow! Damn it!” John shifted on the doughnut cushion. It helped. Marginally.

“Need anything?” The mirth in his eyes belied Sherlock’s solicitous tone.

“A cup of tea and more painkillers,” growled John. “And the telly remote. Please.”

Sherlock brought each individually and in reverse order. “Thanks.” John began flipping through channels of useless daytime programming.

Sherlock returned with his own tea and sprawled with it on the sofa, resting the mug on his chest. “Look on bright side, John.”

“You mean if I hadn’t discovered that icy patch by the steps, Mrs. Hudson might have? I have done, thanks.” His bruised coccyx was less dire than her broken hip would have been. He would find it better consolation once his bum stopped aching. He’d not felt this pounded since... Yes, well. That had been under pleasanter circumstances.

“You have Mrs. Hudson and me at your beck and call.”

“Until you get bored,” muttered John.

Mrs. Hudson proved Sherlock’s point by appearing at the door. “Do you need anything, John? Is Sherlock taking good care of you?”

“Good enough, thanks, Mrs. Hudson.”

“Let me know if that changes, dear.” She disappeared back down the stairs.

John wiggled, winced, and whinged. “Any other bright sides?”

Sherlock smiled like a cat with cream. “Think of all the fun I shall have kissing it better.”

BWAH!

Just so long as Sherlock is gentle about his kissing! :)

[monkeybard]

I'm sure he will calculate the exact amount of pressure he can apply before things become painful. ;)

This is adorable! Good of John's behind to take one for the Baker Street Team!

[monkeybard]

He's a considerate fellow, that John, and apparently his bum is just as considerate. ;)

Oh, poor John! But it looks like Sherlock's taking care of him nicely. :)

[monkeybard]

I'm sure Sherlock will do all he can to make John's recovery bearable. ;)

In the immortal words of Dr. Freeman on M*A*S*H: "Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice: drop your pants and slide on the ice."

[monkeybard]

Ah Sidney! A wise, wise fellow, indeed. :)

*winces as the bruised tailbone*

*giggles at the 'kiss and make it better'*

Well done, you! Whump and fluff is a great way to start JWP!

[monkeybard]

Thanks! This was the balance I was shooting for. :)

"Until you get bored"
Well it's good to know that John is under no illusions then! But having a genius kissing it better well...I'm sure it compensates everything!

[monkeybard]

Yes, John is well aware of the downs and the ups of life with Sherlock.;-)

[ancalime8301]

Hahaha, aww. I have bruised that spot myself, and yes, it's an absolute pain! I didn't have anyone to kiss it better, however... ;)

[monkeybard]

Oh ouch for you! And alas for the lack of kisses. ;-)
