John woke up to the sound of the rain hitting against the rooftop. He smiled and saw Sherlock asleep next to him. He ran his fingers through Sherlock's curls then got up to make some tea. John was careful to not make too much noise as to not wake Sherlock. The second the kettle started to whistle, he ran over and took it off the stove.

John sat in his chair with a blanket over him and the fireplace lit. He was in his happy place. He picked up a book and took sips of his tea every once in awhile. When John finished chapter 16, he looked up at the clock: 9:32. Sherlock should have been up by now but he didn't think much of it. John sighed of boredom. They haven't had a case in a while and he couldn't go for a walk in the rain.

Not long later Sherlock woke up and poured a cup of tea. He saw John sitting in his chair and hugged him from behind. John smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"Morning, Love," John whispered.

"Morning." Sherlock stood up and sat in his own chair. "What are we doing today?"

"Not sure." John shrugged. A few moments passed and Sherlock started to smile. "What?" John chuckled. Without a word, Sherlock got up and went into the bedroom. John wondered if Sherlock wanted him to follow him but before he decided to get up, Sherlock came out with pillows and blankets and laid them down on the couch. John smiled and joined Sherlock on the couch. The cushion gave in and they were both perfectly molded with each other and the furniture. The blankets laid over them and trapped their body heat in.

John nearly fell asleep playing with Sherlock's curls. He loved the feeling their body heat together under the blankets. Just before John went out cold, the tv turned on, waking him instantly. Sherlock's arm was resting on John's side, holding the remote. Without saying a word, Sherlock went to the movie section and started scrolling through the titles.

"What about that one?" John stopped him when it was hovering over an old movie that neither of them had seen in a long time. Sherlock smiled and selected the movie and put the remote on the counter, reaching over John.

They both fell asleep during the movie, shifting around every once in awhile. Sherlock woke up a few hours later and watched John sleep peacefully. He never wanted to leave, this was his happy place. Not the lab, not his mind palace, this. On the couch with the best man in the world on a rainy day. John shifted his position so that his head was resting on Sherlock's chest. He woke up a few moments later and smiled.

"Hello, love." He whispered.

"Afternoon." Sherlock smiled. He pulled the cover over John's back which had been caught when he shifted over. John sighed and rested his arm over Sherlock's stomach, slowly rising and falling. They could feel each other's heartbeat sync up and their breathing follow.

"I love you," John whispered, eyes closed.

"I love you too." Sherlock gently kissed the top of his head.
