Chapter Text
Today Sherlock completed a really difficult mission with Billy. So, he was exhausted and just wanted to get home to his Liam. Thinking about Liam made him smile; how he would welcome him with one of his angelic smile which was reserved for sherlock only and call him “Sherly” with his sweet voice which always makes Sherlock weak in the knees and worship him.
As they passed through a local market he remembered that Liam wanted to eat strawberries. So, he decided to buy some strawberries to surprise Liam and maybe he would also be awarded with a kiss if he’s lucky. This thought made Sherlock grin like a happy puppy.
“Are you okay, Ponytail- senpai?” Billy asked looking creeped out by Sherlock grinning out of nowhere. “By your face I can guess you’re thinking about William-kun” he added.
“What! Why do you always assume that I’m thinking ‘bout Liam?” Sherlock asked feigning dignity that he definitely doesn’t possess. “Because you think about him all the time”, Billy deadpanned.
“Touché” Sherlock replied and went to the shop selling fresh Strawberries ignoring Billy. Seeing Sherlock ignore him made Billy grumble but he still followed after him.
“Are you buying them for William-kun?” asked Billy as he saw Sherlock carrying a bag of Strawberries and pay the Vendor.
“Can you please shut your mouth for a minute” Sherlock grumbled and kicked a rock. “Ouch! My dad just scolded me I’ll tell mom about this” Billy dramatically put a hand on his heart and said, while wiping a fake tear from his eye.
“Why do you always refer to us as your ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’?”
“Aren’t you my parents?’’ Billy asked as if it was a fact.
“We aren’t. But still why Liam is the Mom?” Sherlock asked as they walked leisurely towards their apartment in Brooklyn where Liam was probably waiting for him, just thinking about how Liam would jump into his arms once he sees Sherlock made him feel giddy.
“Well, he’s really kind and caring also sweet and is good with children, he also took care of me while I was sick like a mother would” Billy replied thoughtfully.
Hearing such sincere words from Billy surprised Sherlock but he agrees with Billy on that regard his Liam is really good with Children.
“And why am I the Dad?” Sherlock asked thinking that Billy would say something similar about him.
“Because you’re William-kun’s boyfriend so that’s technically makes you my dad it’s not like I have a choice if I did, I would want a better dad than you” Saying that Billy ran away knowing he’d be smacked in the head.
“You brat! Come here!” Sherlock yelled and chased after Billy. After sometime they reached their present resident which was chosen by Sherlock himself.
Sherlock opened the door to the apartment and called out,
“I’m hom- but he was cut off as someone pounced on him and hugged him, which made Sherlock almost fall but thankfully he was able to steady himself.
“Sherly, I missed you”, a muffled voice mumbled from his chest which was almost inaudible but Sherlock can recognize that voice anywhere it was his Liam’s sweet voice which always makes Sherlock melts.
“Woah! I was only away for like one week it’s not really that big of deal” Sherlock cooly said as if he didn’t spend every minute thinking about Liam and missed kissing him, and other things.
Then something unexpected happened, Liam grabbed Sherlock’s collar and smashed his lips onto him which made Sherlock froze for a while but as William started to withdraw from the kiss Sherlock grabbed his waist, pulling him closer and started kissing him hungrily.
They both kissed as if they hadn’t seen each other for years. Finally, William broke the kiss making Sherlock chase his lips again for another kiss but William stopped him.
Sherlock grumbled but stopped and said, “I wouldn’t mind if you welcomed me like this every day”.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself, Sherly,” William playfully said.
“Hello, did you two forgot about me I also worked hard to help ponytail-senpai to complete the mission and return as soon as possible” Billy said pointing at himself proudly.
“Thank you for your help but now you can please leave us alone” Sherlock said as he tried to make Billy leave so he can kiss his Liam to heart content without any interruption.
“Sherly, don’t be so rude Billy must be hungry after such hard mission” William sternly said, “You can eat with us Billy I already prepared dinner for the three of us”, hearing this made Sherlock grumble to himself about how Billy can take care of himself.
“It’s not like you can refuse William-kun, Can you?” Billy teasingly said as he made his way towards the kitchen to help William with setting up the table for dinner.
Sherlock clenched his jaw but that brat was right he could never refuse his Liam anything. He sighed and entered the kitchen where William was just finishing up cooking.
As he saw Liam concentrating fully on cooking an idea suddenly popped up in his head. He carefully slid behind William and hugged his waist, propping his head on his shoulder clinging to Liam like a koala.
Being hugged so suddenly surprised William but after smelling the familiar scent of cinnamon and cedar wood which used to be mixed with smell of cigarette back in London but after they started living together Sherlock quit smoking worried it’ll affect William’s health, which had made William almost cry because the man who smoked cigarette like it was water was willing to quit it just because of him.
“Sherly if you keep clinging to me like that then I won’t be able to cook”, William said as he tried to get out Sherlock’s arms but the man didn’t even budge.
“But I’m just recharging myself,” Sherlock mumbled from where his face was in William’s neck.
“If you two are done being lovey-divey, can we eat?” Billy interrupted the couple making them jump away from each other in haste.
William hurriedly took the soup he had prepared to the table but he was blushing profusely if his red ears were anything to go by.
Sherlock on the other hand shot a glare towards Billy for ruining their moment but Billy just raised both of his hands in mock surrender.
Oh! How much he wanted to smack that stupid brat but he couldn’t because Liam would surely make him sleep on the sofa and he didn’t want to sleep alone after waiting for a week to cuddle his angel. No, Thank you very much and he can smack Billy when they are alone.
“Liam I brought some strawberries for you”, Sherlock said as he started washing the strawberries he had bought making Liam turn towards him with blinding smile hearing the word ‘strawberry’.
“Really! Thank you, Sherly I was craving them”, William shot him the angelic smile Sherlock had hoped and cheered internally.
Seeing them flirt again Billy sighed and said, “Ok you lovebirds enough with your flirting I’m starving so let’s eat”.
“Sorry Billy just wait a moment and then you can eat.” William said as Sherlock brought the washed strawberries in a bowl, putting them on the table.
As the three of them settled on a small table by the window with William serving them their dinner after making Sherlock sit who insisted on not letting Liam do anything. After the food was served the three of them started eating.
“William-kun your cooking is getting better,” Billy commented as he ate, “What do mean better? This the best dish I have ever eaten in my life” Sherlock proudly said. --Hearing this William blushed,
“Sherly you don’t have to lie for my sake my cooking isn’t the best especially after the cake incident”.
“Nonsense, anyone can mistake salt for sugar and it wasn’t really that bad”, “I guess love does not only make you blind but also tasteless”, Billy remarked earning a smack on the head from Sherlock, “Ouch! What was that for?” Billy asked while rubbing his head.
“To shut your mouth before I kick your ass out of the door”, Sherlock threatened and started eating again. William who was watching couldn’t help but laugh at their bickering finding it cute. “Ok, now you two finish your food peacefully and go to sleep you both must be exhausted”.
“Yes Liam”, Yes Mom”, came the immediate reply making William chuckle at their antics.
William has told Billy so many times to not call him as ‘Mom’ but the kid just wouldn’t listen so he gave up and if he was being honest the nickname kind of grew on him so he doesn’t mind it now.
After dinner Sherlock offered to wash the dishes insisting that William should rest. This man! If he could he wouldn’t even let Liam lift his finger and will do everything by himself. Billy also bade them goodbye and left to get some rest, so William and Sherlock were left alone.
As he finished washing the last plate, Sherlock wiped his hands and walked towards his no- their bedroom he still felt giddy sharing a room with his Liam. As he entered the bedroom his eyes landed on Liam who just got out shower and was drying his blond hair which has grown longer since they started living in New York.
But what caught Sherlock’s attention was the white robe William was wearing it never failed to make him horny as his Liam looked so sexy in them and the robe had slipped from Liam’s shoulder displaying his smooth blemished neck and pale collarbones glistening due to water begging Sherlock to mark them.
“Are you just gonna stand there and stare at me Sherly”, Liam winked at him making Sherlock blushed at being caught ogling his beautiful boyfriend but can you blame him? Who wouldn’t stare at his Liam he was just too pretty to be real.
“Well, it’s your fault for looking so pretty and hot at the same time”, Sherlock smirked as he saw William blush at his complement.
Sherlock really wanted to just fuck Liam after waiting for a whole week but he was so tired that he felt he would pass out as soon as his head hit the pillow so he can only cuddle with his angel tonight and can fuck Liam senseless tomorrow as he doesn’t have any mission for two days, with this thought in mind Sherlock went towards the bed and sat down on it with his back towards the headboard.
He motioned for William to come to him which made him confuse but Liam still came closer to him and stood in front of Sherlock.
Sherlock grabbed William’s wrist and pulled him on his lap making the blond man let out a startled gasp as he fell on top of Sherlock who smirked.
“What are you doing Sherly?” Instead of answering him Sherlock buried his head in Liam’s neck, leaving soft kisses on the pale skin making Liam moan.
“I missed holding you in my arms” Sherlock softly whispered, hearing this William’s eyes softened as he wrapped his arms around Sherlock’s back enjoying his warmth. Both of them sat in silence in the same position for a while as they enjoyed holding each other.
After sometime William heard muffled snores coming from the man holding his waist tightly the sight was so adorable, looking at Sherlock sleeping so peacefully brought him so much satisfaction because Sherlock has been taking care of him like some fragile doll for past months neglecting himself which made William feel guilty for being a nuisance but Sherlock has assured him million times not to worry about him.
But how could he not? This man is the only person William has ever loved and will love forever, Sherlock was able to show William the beauty of this world and encourage him to live even if he just wanted to die to end his suffering, he also had given him a name, ‘Liam’ which only belonged to him when he had none in the past, William would never be able to repay Sherlock for all he has done for him.
William knows it wouldn’t last forever and that they eventually have to go back to London, but for now, he felt safe and protected in Sherlock’s arms and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
