A rhythmic, gentle rain drums against the windowpanes, blurring the Victorian skyline into a wash of charcoal and grey. Inside the dining room, the air is thick with the scent of roasted coffee and a heavy, domestic silence. Sherlock and William are perched side-by-side at the table, their shoulders nearly touching, completely absorbed in one another's presence. They are so lost in the quiet intimacy of the morning that they don't even glance up as you steps into the room.
