7 Ways to sleep

Sorry about the long break. My father decided to go batshit crazy on me and I needed recovery time. Nothing to bad just the standard yell and scream and then kick me out of the house for ten minutes before he comes to get me.

Sherlock slept in many different positions. John Watson knew them all.

John knew because he had begun sharing a bed with his boyfriend five months ago. Even before that he knew some. Sherlock always looked peaceful in his sleep. His brain was not fully off but it was a sense of relief.

The first one he ever knew about was when Sherlock would go into his mind palace, fingers in a prayer position, sat in his chair. John knew not to disturb him and went about the day. The next time he walked into the living room he found Sherlock slumped over in the chair snoring softly. Sherlock never realized that John was the one who carried him to bed.

The second time was when Sherlock collapsed on the couch and promptly fell asleep. The only problem was John was sitting in the middle of the couch at the time. In his sleep, Sherlock curled around him and John couldn't get up. They both agreed never to talk about it again.

The third time was one of the best. Sherlock had gone into his mind palace with his head on John's lap. John busied himself by watching something of his laptop and running his fingers through Sherlock's hair. Sherlock had woken up blushing and sat right up. John had apologized and Sherlock had kissed him. That was when they started dating. This way of sleeping became very common. John eventually got a sort of table so he could still type his blog. Sherlock often bashed his head on it.

The fourth one was after sex when Sherlock became a cuddly mess of limps and would curl up in John's arms. This was one of John's favourites.

The fifth was when John got home late. He would find his boyfriend curled up hugging a blanket. Usually, John would wake up the next morning to find that Sherlock had let go of the blanket and curled around him. This also happens when they go into a fight. When John woke up the next day with Sherlock holding him, all would be forgiven.

The sixth was the one that happened most often. Sherlock would curl up into a ball or around some blankets and John would sleep how he always slept, on his back. John rarely moved while Sherlock was a bed hog. They didn't share the same blanket because of this. Also because they felt different. John only needed one light blanket while Sherlock needed a number of heavy blankets. The amount depended on the heat. Sherlock was also a cuddler and needed something to hold at all times.

The seventh only happened once but it was hilarious nonetheless. John had been gone for a week, a trip to his parents. Sherlock stayed home, mainly because he was on a case. When John got home it was midnight. He found Sherlock spread across the bed asleep. John had rolled his eyes and moved him over.

John loved Sherlock and visa versa. John might not have a mind palace but he remembered every way that Sherlock slept. Because he loved everything about him.
