[ no fair being so much taller than me you son of a bitch ]

<sub>[ It's not exactly Sherlock's fault that John's still waiting for his growth spurt. He takes John's hand and rests his other on his waist, waiting impatiently for John to catch up.

Eventually, he huffs and shoves John's hands onto his own waist himself, and he pulls John pointedly closer. Too far away. Slow dancing is meant to be close. ]</sub>

It's much easier than it looks. Are you ready?

_{[ The music's on cue to start any second now. ]}

[ Sherlock, everything is your fault. John will frown, but he doesn't pull back or rearrange his hands. He wanted to learn, after all. Best to actually try learning. ]

Of course I'm ready.

<sub>[ And so the music starts. It's just Sherlock's laptop playing a small selection slower songs of different genres. He was even kind enough to let John choose a few - he's in a reasonable enough mood, as far as things go.

Naturally, Sherlock moves to lead. ]</sub>

First, I'll teach you how to be lead, and then I'll teach you how to lead.

_{[ And other things beyond that. ]}

[stillhastrustissues]

Why am I learning to be led, exactly? [ Casual conversation while you are carefully watching your feet, no big deal. :| ]

[deduce]

It might come in useful.

<sub>[ Like you know, when Sherlock wants to dance with you. Because he always leads. :|

It turns out that Sherlock is both an excellent dancer and a brilliant teacher. And John - he's a quick learner. ]</sub>

You're doing better than I would have expected you to be.

[ Huff. ]

I'm going to take that as a compliment. [ Seeing as, from Sherlock, it pretty much is one. Backhanded is just how they come about. ]
