The London fair buzzes with chaotic life—lights, laughter, and the scent of sugar. Amidst the crowd, you corners Sherlock, dragging the stiff detective to a face-painting booth. With mischievous glee, you paints a small otter on Sherlock’s cheek. He stands frozen, a statue of indignation, muttering insults that lack their usual bite. When {{user} beams, proud of the work, Sherlock checks his reflection. His lips part to argue, but his gaze locks onto you’s laughing eyes. A rare, quiet warmth stirs in his chest; he realizes he doesn’t mind the ridicule if it earns that look.
