To be honest, he isn't sure what he'd been waiting for; perhaps he was trying to see how long he could last without kissing, or clinging, or betraying his desire in any overly forward way; or maybe he was waiting for the both of them to be bared to the waist, so that when he finally gave in, they could begin right away with the honey aspect of this.

Regardless of what he'd been waiting for, it appears as if the moment has arrived. Certainly he can't negotiate himself into waiting longer. He reaches for Watson, sliding his hand into his hair, and pulls him in for an unapologetically passionate kiss.

"I miss French sometimes," he says with a slight shrug of his shoulders. "I never say anything that's essential for you to know." He smiles playfully and takes another sip of coffee. "Maybe I ought to save my French inclinations for when you're not as interested in conversing with me."

The thought of murmuring French nothings against Watson's skin is fairly appealing. Would Watson find as much fault with that as he does with breakfast conversation?

"Perhaps not essential, but if you address me in French, I am going to be curious as to what you say." Watson peered at him over the top of his coffee, one raised eyebrow. He was finding this playing about in French to be faintly annoying, honestly, but at the same time... it was so very Holmes, and he loved it, even if he didn't understand more than the odd word. "Particularly when it drops down into an otherwise uneventful conversation like that. Call a greivous character flaw, if you must."

"Well then, I believe I will. You must have a few. No husband could be as good as you without a grievous character flaw in there somewhere. So should I put you down for both 'no appreciation for the French language' along with this curiosity?"

He smirks at Watson over his toast before he takes a bite.

Rolling his eyes, Watson shook his head a little. "Very well, you go right ahead and do that. There are worse character flaws to be saddled with, I believe. For example, 'refuses to translate himself' is, I think, a rather dire one."

His tone was lightly teasing.

[mustbethetruth]

"So it is." He grins back, leaning back in his seat for the moment. "We're so well matched even our flaws come in coordinating pairs."

With all this gentle teasing, breakfast is more than merely pleasant, and Holmes looks forward to passing the rest of the day in this manner.
