Have some red pants fic for your monday morning:

Calendar Boy – Sherlock’s discovered some old pictures of John in red pants.

John walked in to the flat and found Sherlock with his laptop on the couch. “Nothing new?” Asked John, hanging up his coat.

Sherlock started. John recognized the guilt before the laptop was closed. In three steps he had the laptop in his hands and turned around. His eyebrows went up. “Of course you found this.”

The picture was taken maybe five years earlier. John was more fit, no scar marred his shoulder. Around his neck were his dog tags. The only other thing  he was wearing was a pair of red pants.

“Calendar shoot for charity. They decided not to use my picture.” He closed the laptop. “Is the milk spoiled again?”

“Possibly.” Sherlock wrapped his arms around his knees and watched John stalk into the kitchen.

The next morning John stepped out of the shower to find his ordinary pants had been replaced with a red pair. He shook his head but put them on, then his robe. He was aware of Sherlock watching him as he sat in his chair and picked up the paper.
