Fics like darling you're the highlight of my life

It was later in the evening, as we sat by the fire in silent contemplation, that Holmes would remind me of it again. I was sat reading a book, which I had picked up weeks before and had not yet finished, as I so rarely found myself with enough time to read it between my practice and my adventures with Holmes. The very man in question was sitting across from me, smoke billowing from his pipe, as he regarded me with mild interest. I was staunchly ignoring his gaze, trying to focus on the words on the page and failing. With a small sigh, I placed the book aside and stood up, turning away from Holmes under the guise of stoking the fire. As I placed the fire poker back in its home, and turned around to face him, Holmes finally spoke up. “Darling, would you mind pouring me a drink?” His tone was light, and his gaze fell upon me nonchalantly, as if this were a normal request from him. Well, it was a normal request, it was the wording of it that had thrown me off. I blinked a few times, wondered if I had imagined the term of endearment, and repeated his request. Watson accidentally calls Holmes dear and Holmes finds it very amusing.
