Just those 26 moments from A to Z

F – Fragrance


Everyone in this world has his or her own type of scent whether it be like the sweet loving scent of Night Jasmine or a horrid smell of rotting eggs. Either way, each and every person owns their unique scent even if they're so robotic and mechanical like Sherlock Holmes. If one were to ask Doctor John Hamish Watson-Holmes what his husband smelled like, he would have only one answer.

"Redolent."

At this word, Sherlock looked up with a furrowed brow at his husband. "Excuse me?" He asked, watching the other with those ever changing grey-green-blue eyes. He observed him carefully before catching himself and stopping. John never enjoyed it when he deducted things from him. He kept an observant eye on his partner while he studied his current experiment. He was trying to see the chemical reaction of a hair follicle to a mixture of CO2 and C2H6O when ignited with fire.

John looked back at the curly haired detective before shaking his head with a smile. "Nothing, it was nothing." He replied, brushing it off as if it was nothing. Of course he was talking to Sherlock Holmes, the famed detective who never ever let anything past him. "John, it was not nothing. You said it because your brain is simulating one or many mental images, causing you to go into a daydream state, therefore you saying words that have come to your mind. Redolent is not a common word unless describing something of pleasant odor, and I am sure alcoholic burning hair is not a very desirable scent to many people-"

Sherlock cut off when John came over and smacked a kiss right on those thin, soft lips. The doctor pulled away satisfied with a deep breath, inhaling the other's scent. "Yup, definitely redolent." He said, nodding. "Reminiscent, yet suggestive and definitely pleasant." He said with a smile. He placed another kiss on Sherlock's forehead before grabbing his tea again, sipping away.

"What are you talking about?" A slightly confused baritone voice asked the doctor.

"The fragrance we call Sherlock Holmes."
