The Marrying Type

Written for the prompt: "John casually mentions plans for the future including marriage/children/picket fences … plans that do not specifically mention Sherlock. Sherlock knows that John is quite invested in him so John cheating on him or leaving him isn't imminent. When asked, John just shrugs sheepishly and says that Sherlock isn't really the marrying type. Then John brushes it off as a slip of the tongue and that he is fine with what they have now. Sherlock wants to prove to John he really is the “marrying type” so that John will stay with him forever."

John and Sherlock have been a couple for a while, but when John says that he can’t see marrying Sherlock and that what they have is great for now, Sherlock goes into panic-mode. He’s sure this means that he’s going to lose John once more to…a wife. He does his best to prove to John that Sherlock could be the perfect husband if given a chance. Now, if he’d only clued John into what was going on.
