Sholto wasn’t the first commanding officer John had slept with… nor was he the longest standing ‘relationship’ John had had in the army. No, that honor went to one Colonel Sebastian Moran. John had lost track of Sebastian after he’d been discharged over something John still wasn’t clear on. So when he came face to face with him at the pool his surprise couldn’t have been greater.

If Sherlock or Jim either one ever picked up on the fact that John and Sebastian looked like they’d been fucked hard and used after the incident, neither ever spoke of it.

Every once in a while, Jim and Sherlock ‘lose track’ of their favorites for about six hours. It’s all either genius can do to keep from rolling his eyes and pointing out the love bite that isn’t quite covered, or poke fun at how one of them is walking. BothJim and Sherlock politely ignore that the two of them are carrying on their little affair… At least to John and Sebastian’s faces.

The texts they send one another about the ridiculous attempts to hide it are another matter entirely.
