A Righteous Return - AU - Locked to seaweed_writes

[ihadabadday]

Once Upon a Time in a kingdom far away and filled with magic and dragons, there was a King and his Wizard. Together they did great things, bringing peace to the world and to its people. They were the best of friends, as close as any two men could be. Until one day the King was gravely injured defending his Wizard...

He gasped as the arrow struck his shoulder. Just between the gap in his armor. Too low to be anything but fatal. He knew that. But he was the King of England. He wielded Excalibur. He would not go down with out a fight. Of course /he/ would call him foolish for this. For defending him in this way. He was a sorcerer, a wizard, after all.

His knees gave out as the blood loss started to affect him. He barely noticed as strong arms came around him.

"It's okay." He assured the man, "You'll be okay. If... I'll return." He coughed a bit, feeling the pain. But it was all okay. His friend. His Wizard was alive. He pressed Excalibur into the man's hands.

"Return this to the Lady of the Lake. Please. It needs to be safe." He knew what would happen if it was in the wrong hands.

He didn't have much time. He knew that. He reached up and touched his Wizard's face. "Find me again." He managed before he closed his eyes, arm falling limply to his side.

The King of the Brits, of England, was gone.

John shot up in bed, gasping for breath. He pressed a hand to his face and took a deep breath. Another nightmare. So many had piled up over the years. Loosing Arthur, the two Great Wars. Even recent events were enough to make him frightened. He got out of bed and walked over to the window. After opening the blinds, he stared out at the blinking lights. Albion had changed so much in recent time. Just the past hundred years alone. He let out a sigh.

There had been one time in all these years the had started to feel Arthur return. During the second Great War... The need for him was great then than it had been years earlier during the first. He pressed a fist to the window and sighed. "Arthur, we need you..." There was the unspoken, I need you. It was always unspoken. He had never dared tell the King. He couldn't, not when he had a Queen that adored him so and who he adored in return.

He let out a long held breath and looked back out to the night sky. He didn't need this flatshare, but it was convenient to be around people again.

He had been living with Sherlock Holmes for three months now. Just long enough to know he could stand the man, but not long enough to really know how he felt about the man. Other than... Okay.

John had left Sherlock lying on the couch when he went off to work. The A&E. He loved working in emergency medicine. He could help people and keep an eye out for Arthur and the Knights.

Of course, this was the day when a psych patient broke out and started to wave a scalpel at everyone. John stepped in front of a nurse only to get stabbed in the neck. He put his hand up to press against the wound, trembling. Oh, shock. He slowly sunk to the ground as he heard his coworkers starting to swarm.

And it was about fifteen minutes later that Sherlock's mobile started going off.

He snapped back to reality and looked up. Panic was obvious on his face. Oh god. He then realized that Sherlock was here. He was here. Swallowing, he grabbed onto Sherlock and held him tightly.

"I... Morgana found me." He whispered, "She gave me a vision of your knights slain and you dying with Excalibur through your chest." He gasped.

"Oh god. I'm not strong enough to face her right now."

[seaweed_writes]

John looked positivly wrecked, and it sent a violent shiver of fear bursting through Sherlock's body. He had never, ever seen John so afraid before.

"It's just a vision." He said, wrapping his arms around John and holding him tightly, rocking very slightly back and forth. "It isn't a prediction, or a sure sign of what is to come. She is just playing on your fears."

He held his lover closer to him, running his hand through the sandy hair and gently kissing his sweaty brow. "You may not be strong enough to face her alone right now, but you are not alone. You have me. You will always have me, John. I will never leave your side. You are mine, and I am yours. Forever."

[ihadabadday]

John clung to Sherlock, taking deep breaths to calm himself down. God. He was a wreck. How could he protect Sherlock like this?

The blonde pulled back and smiled at Sherlock. He touched his cheek. "I love you."

[seaweed_writes]

"John. It's alright. You are facing a very powerful foe. You shouldn't have to face her alone, and you won't. We also have our brave Sir Galahad to help us." He saw how John was judging himself and tried his best to help calm his lover down.

"And I, you, my powerful wizard." He smirked, then kissed John full on the lips. "Whatever is coming, we face it head on, together. We are more powerful than the sum of our parts, and I know that we can defeat any foe."

[ihadabadday]

He melted at this kiss and returning of the sentiment. John smiled. "God. You're amazing." He whispered. Really couldn't help himself at all.

John wanted to touch and see all of Sherlock. Hear him gasp and beg. But no doubt his lover would say no.

[seaweed_writes]

For someone who was as verse as reading people as Sherlock was, it was easy to see the desire written all over John's face. His deep blue eyes were dark, his breath short. But he was worried that John was still too weak for anything physical.

"Lay back." Sherlock put his hand on John's chest, splaying his fingers out and gently pressing him back down towards the bed. "You need to rest. I can take care of you."

[ihadabadday]

"B... But what about you?" He asked as he allowed himself to be pushed back. John's mind was starting to bugger off as he thought about Sherlock.

Those fingers and mouth. God damn it. He was wrecked for anyone else, ever.

He shifted a bit, feeling himself grow hard.

[seaweed_writes]

Sherlock shook his head. "I already told you that you need to worry about yourself, John. Need I repeat myself again?" He chided John, but there was no venom behind it.

He pulled John's shirt off, tossing it off the bed. It gave him full access to his chest, and he took advantage of it. Sherlock leaned down and licked at John's nipple, sucking at it until it became hard, then he moved to the over one, and gave it a similar treatment.

"John." He said low, almost a growl.

[ihadabadday]

Oh god...

John dropped his head back, gasping. Christ. What was he going to do with this man. This amazing, ridiculous man. He reached out and ran a hand through those gorgeous curls.

Yes.

He shuddered and gave a small moan. Yes. Oh yes. "Sherlock..."

[seaweed_writes]

"Yes, John?" Sherlock asked with a smirk, knowing that it hadn't been a question. "If you have something to say, then say it now."

As he spoke he trailed his hand down John's chest, over his stomach, still mostly toned with just the tiniest hint of softness to it, and to the waistband of his trousers, where he played with the button and flies, but he didn't undo it yet.

[ihadabadday]

"Please. Anything..." he begged.

John shuddered and squirmed a bit. Fuck. He wanted and wanted. Sherlock was good. So good. He shook his head and panted. Fuck. Dear god.

[seaweed_writes]

"Anything?" Sherlock asked, almost purring. He played with John's trousers for a moment more, before he finally undid the button and flies, but he didn't pull the trousers down yet. Instead, he reached in and rubbed the palm of his hand against the tented front of John's pants.

"Hmmm. It seems like we have a bit of an issue here, don't we?" He asked with a smirk.

[ihadabadday]

John groaned when Sherlock touched him. Oh god. Maybe he was much too weak to do anything but lie here... But it felt so good.

"Sherlock... Don't stop. Please." He begged.

[seaweed_writes]

"Never." Sherlock leaned up and whispered in John's ear.

He pulled his hand out of John's trousers, but only long enough to pull them and his pants down at the same time, not all the way off his legs, but halfway down, so John was stuck where he was, totally at Sherlock's mercy.

"So many things I could do.." He purred. Lick, bite, suck, rub, jerk, or.. nothing." He teased, even though he had just said that he wouldn't stop.

"Oh, what should I do?" He put on a fake sound of despair, as if he couldn't choose, but the smile on his face showed that he knew exactly what he wanted to do to this man.

[ihadabadday]

He shivered at that single world. He knew it meant more than the sex, but oh... John swallowed and shifted. Oh he wanted and was so hard and trapped.

John whined. "Sh... Sherlock. Anything. Anything at all." He gasped.

[seaweed_writes]

His kisses we soft and gentle, starting around John's still peaked nipples and moving down the sparsely haired chest, over his stomach, and down the small trail of curly hair that led from his belly to the next of hair between his legs.

Sherlock nuzzled into it, taking in his musky scent, it was tea and antiseptic and wool sweaters and JOHN.

It was all John.

He groaned softly at the smell, unconsciously rubbing his still clothed length against the bed, rutting as he used every single one of his senses to catalog John.

[ihadabadday]

John moaned and shifted a bit. "Oh please... Do anything. Such, kiss, fuck. Anything." He gasped when his lover nuzzled.

God.

The blonde parted his lips and whined, rocking his hips up. He wanted... He wanted Sherlock.

[seaweed_writes]

"Do... anything..." He repeated. "I want to do... everything." His voice dropped on the last word.

Sherlock licked and nuzzled through the thick brown hair until he reached the base of John's cock. He licked and suckled at it, giving it enough attention to feel good, but not so much that it would give John any release.

He could tease his lover all day, Sherlock thought to himself, listen to the man beg, feel him rock and shift around. He would be happy if this was all that he ever did, bringing John all the pleasure that he could handle.. and more.

[ihadabadday]

John sobbed and shifted. Sherlock's mouth... Oh. He wanted. He needed. His mind spun with all sorts of possibilities. Yes.

He let out a breath and pushed his hips up. It was so teasing. It wasn't fair. He whimpered.

"Your mouth can do such wicked things..."

[seaweed_writes]

"Ohhhh... you have no idea...." He drew each word out exquisitely long, like a jaguar growling at its prey. If John thought this mouth was wicked now, Sherlock could show him so much more.

He dipped his head down, taking one of John's balls in his mouth. He rolled his tongue around it, not missing a single millimeter, coating it in his saliva, tasting every ridge and fold and pore. He sucked on it very lightly, just teasingly, before pulling away, and then working on the other one.

[ihadabadday]

He shouted and jerked towards that mouth. Oh god. Sherlock was going to be the death of him. Over and over. But that was okay. It was fine. It was perfect.

Yes.

He wanted that mouth on him, tormenting, teasing. John ached for it. Yes. More. He shuddered and gasped.

[seaweed_writes]

There was nothing that Sherlock loved more than to see John oh so slowly come apart under him.

His tongue moved down, down down, over his perineum, and to the tight puckered flesh between his cheeks. His eyes canted up at John- this was something that they had never done, this relationship was still so very new to both of them. He wanted to make sure that this was something that John wanted. If not, there was plenty more of him to tease and explore.

[ihadabadday]

John looked down and nodded. He wanted everything that Sherlock could give him. More. Yes. Please. He swallowed and spread his legs wider.

Have him. All of him.

The blonde was. He was wrecked. Sherlock caused it and he would just continue to unravel more and more.

[seaweed_writes]

Sherlock took a moment to grab a pillow and indicated that John should lift up his hips. He slid the pillow underneath John's hips and butt, which gave him a better angle for what he wanted to do.

And now, he had unfettered access to what he wanted. Sherlock used his hands to keep John spread while his tongue teased around his skin, at the perineum and the skin around the entrance, but not quite there yet.. almost brushing against it but not quite...

And then... just the lightest brush against the sensitive skin, almost too light to be anything, but there all the same.

[ihadabadday]

That was new. But John didn't care. It fely good. Oh god did it. That talented tongue on him. He shifted and gasped. Oh god. He was going to melt. He wouldn't be human anymore, just a sentient puddle if Sherlock kept that up.

He sobbed and shifted a bit. "Fuck. Don't you dare stop. I'll never forgive you." Perhaps John was far too coherent.
