Now that they seem to have gotten past the tenuous beginning, Holmes is surprised at how comfortable this is. It isn't easy for Holmes to feel completely at ease -- that's why he has his music, and his cocaine -- but Watson generally has just seemed to... fit in Holmes's life. That's just as true here, he's happy to discover, and it feels very natural to kiss Watson just as deeply in return.

Their position on the sofa, however, could become problematic if the two of them plan on continuing their evening in this way, as Holmes suspects they do. He attempts to guide Watson down onto the sofa, positioning himself on top.

"You are very welcoming this evening," he murmurs suggestively against Watson's lips, returning his attentions to his neck, wanting to elicit another response like he just received with this action.
