A/N: This is also available on tumblr in my Sherlock ficlets section, but I wanted to post it here. A number of people asked me for Sherlock and John's first night together, so here it is... Enjoy!

"That was amazing."

In the dim lighting, Sherlock's darkened eyes gleamed as his lips stretched into a lazy, satisfied smile.

"It was rather good, wasn't it?"

"Good?" John snorted. "It was bloody brilliant." He arched back into a stretch, then relaxed, grinning across the small space that separated them.

"Good god, is it always going to be like this?" he asked.

"I admit tonight was particularly exceptional. But yes, this is generally what you can expect."

John's grin widened.

"You were quite astounding, too," Sherlock said. "I admit, I'm pleasantly surprised."

John quirked an eyebrow, his grin taking on a mischievous hint.

"Lucky for you," he shot back with a chuckle.

Sherlock raised his eyebrows in reply.

"Indeed," he murmured.

John's eyes darted down questioningly.

"Finished?" he asked.

"For now, yes."

"Me, too. Why don't we get the rest boxed up to take home? That way, we'll have leftovers tomorrow for tea."
