  "Sherlock," John locked eyes with the detective,"you are bloody gorgeous."
  A very prominent blush crept up the other's neck,"I-I erm…"
  "And adorable, look at that,"He leaned forward and smiled. John knew for a fact that he was one of the few people who existed that could actually catch him off guard, and by god this had to be the best way to get those gears in the detective’s head to stop.
  Sherlock broke eye contact and tapped nervously on the table,"You're getting too direct with your flirting."
  "So you've noticed?"
  He nodded and looked around the room, still refusing to look at John,"So- uh, what,” Sherlock cleared his throat, the telltale signs of embarrassment peeking through,”what brought this up?"
  "It's just been eating me up for a bit,"He propped his head up on his hands,"And I'd… I’d like to kiss you."
  Those few words caused Sherlock's entire system to malfunction, a small sound of shock barely escaped his lips. For a moment, John found it rather endearing that his friend was an actual blushing virgin, but as soon as the spell broke, he wondered what the consultant's response would be,"Me..?"
  "Yes, you."
  "I have to confess that I do not possess much experience in this area-" 
  What had once been a quiet morning in the kitchen of 221b ultimately transformed into… this. Not that either of them were complaining, they were finally clearing the tension that held strong between them for years, however… jolting it felt.
  "You're a fast learner," His tongue swiped along his bottom lip,"I don't think it would take long for you to pick it up."
  "Is that an offer to teach me, Dr. Watson?" he whispered, not trusting himself to keep a steady stream of words in his current state. Said “state” could be summed up as "confused, turned on, and extremely giddy".
  The quiet flirt back made John more than happy,"Of course, I'll even do it for free 'cause you're being so cute about it."
  The detective huffed, crossing his arms and slumping in his seat,"I am not cute."
  "You're proving my point right now. Pouting with those sinful lips of yours."
  "I-" at this point, his mind may as well be fried because it felt absolutely useless. Not a single deduction could be made by John's smiling face, only the word 'mine' over and over,"I-I give you… permission."
  "Permission?"
  "Yes," with a bit more confidence,"I know you're a man of morals, and you wouldn't do anything without explicit consent- so I consent to you."
  John stood, making sure not to move too fast, he didn’t want to frighten Sherlock in this exposed mindset,"And you are aware that you can take that consent away at any time?"
  A slight nod,"I know."
  "Alright," He brought a hand to cup Sherlock's jaw, lifting his thumb to run across his bottom lip,"I have watched these lips for years," John dipped his head down a bit, milimetres away from Sherlock's face,"I always wondered how they would feel on mine."
  "Care to find out?" his breath ghosting along John's skin.
  "God yes."
  Sherlock closed the small gap, lips barely pressed together. It was his first time being so close to someone he loved, and understanding that this was all new to Sherlock, John let him control the pace. It was soft, tentative, tender, they reveled in the intimate contact. They had been craving this for years, and now here they were. The spark that had lingered became a roaring fire, all from a small, genuine kiss. 
  After a moment, John pulled back, realising that the detective had ceased all effort to function,”Breathe.”
  His eyes remained closed as he sucked in a lungful of air,”More please,” Sherlock blinked a few times before sending John the most desperate look he could muster.
  “How could I say no to my brilliant detective?”
