It’s silly and stupid and John knows that as he stares at the box of Just For Men Darkest Blond H-15 on the sink. Sherlock’s never once indicated he was disappointed in any aspect of John, physical or otherwise. In fact, if asked while John wasn’t in the room, he probably couldn’t say what John’s hair color was. Not in a bad way…Sherlock remembers the important things. Things John has said. How he takes his coffee, the way he prefers brownies slightly underdone and his pasta a bit harder than al dente. That he has a slightly ticklish spot just above his right hip and that his left arm can’t bend at certain angles. But his hair color? No. Simply because it wouldn’t matter to Sherlock if John had no hair at all. But he sees it. John sees the bags and the wrinkles and the gray maybe this is a weak moment. Dark Blond. John is—was—dark blond. It’s just a tint of color, just enough to cover the gray. And he’ll feel better about himself, won’t he? John sighs, and picks up the box. “Just to cover the gray,” he murmurs to himself.
