john and sherlock being so comfortable with each other several years into their relationship that they sometimes have sex just for the purpose of relaxation and getting a good night’s sleep. sherlock climbs in bed, throws an arm over his head, and talks to john about a case while john takes off his clothes, folds them, and gets lube and a flannel. then, john gets in bed, and he and sherlock continue talking while john slides between his legs, squirts lube onto his palm, and squishes it around to warm it up. they exchange a few distracted kisses while john takes them in hand and begins to stroke, but mostly, the sex consists of a lot of heavy breathing, lip-biting, and finally a shuddery sigh at the climax. they still have romantic sex, i-love-you sex, intense, passionate, loving, i’m-mad-for-you sex, i’m-deeply-attracted-to-you sex, but sometimes the goal is an orgasm, an endorphin rush, and sleepiness, and that’s perfectly okay because they’re so in love and comfortable and secure and they don’t feel the need to prove it every second of the day.
