Title: Morning

Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Author's Notes: It struck me that this is the fifth story, but the second time that Holmes wakes Watson, and Watson doesn’t seem overly perturbed by his presence. Watson’s lack of concern for his own privacy made me wonder. Feel free to read as slash or not.



The first time I awoke with Holmes's eyes fixed on me, I was startled and shy. The second time, annoyed and gruff.

Now, I do not mind the sentinel who watches while I slumber. Perhaps because his eyes are the last I see at night, it is fitting that they are also the first I see at break of day.

I watch Watson's lips thin and forehead crease as he thinks of Beecher, wars and wounds. His gaze says he'd rather be in Portsmouth but his sigh reveals he hasn't funds for the holiday. I astonish by reading his musings in his moustache's twitch only to distract myself; to keep from supposing why Lestrade hasn't required me in some time.

Here are your completely optional prompts for NOBL. Feel free to use one, both, or neither.

A/N: I was really struck by the fact that this is the second time in as many stories that Watson wakes to find Holmes at his bedside...


This was the second time Holmes had barged into my bedroom in the early hours. Not that I begrudged him the liberty, but… perhaps there was a more practical solution.

To my pleasant surprise, Holmes was amenable. Now, if he desires to wake me, he need only reach his arm across the bed. And I fancy that he sleeps better.
