God, I love this so much. This is perfect. Absolutely perfect. The way they talk, and don't talk, and John's shifting responses to a situation that could only really happen with Sherlock - it's all spot on. I love your Sherlock, too - he's obviously awkward and inexperienced but he's also his delightfully perceptive self, even if this is obviously not his domain. He sometimes gets portrayed as someone who has no clue whatsoever about sex and things, but that doesn't ring true to me, because he's extremely socially observant, even if he doesn't translate his observations to practice. So this feels so much more in character for him. I also love the slow progression that they go through and the references to canon.
