âWhereâs Daddyâ little Monkey?â
Jawn looked around his blanketed space on the floorâŚhe looked to his left, then to his right, then tilted his head back to look behind him, nearly toppling over before looking back at Sherlock with wide, attentive eyes, and shrugging.
âWheeeerrrrreeeeeâs Daddyâs Monkey?â Sherlock, who had been sitting opposite of him on the other side of the blanket, got up onto all fours. âWheeeeerrrrreeeeâs Daddyâs Monkey?!â he asked again and started to sloooooooooowly crawl across the floor to Jawn, pausing every so often like a lion stalking itâs prey.
Jawn, wearing nothing but a nappy and a smile, caught onto the game quickly and grinned, his eyes crinkling at the corners, and grabbed the corner of the blanket up in his fist. The closer Sherlock came, the closer he pulled it to his face, hiding behind it.
âWheeerrrrrreeeeeâs Daddyâs Monââ Sherlock was suddenly cut short when a soft, jangly infantâs block sailed across the room and bonked him on the nose. âJawn. No-no.â
Jawn only giggled and pulled the blanket completely over his head.
Sherlock smirked and inched closer, and closer, and closerâŚuntil he was nose-to-blanket-covered-nose. âWheeeeerrrrreeeeâs Daddyâs teeny, tiny Monkey,â he sang again, barely above a whisper.
The lump underneath the blanket giggled and shrank down.
Sherlock slowly, slowly reached up, andâŚ
âŚ.grabbed! the blanket, yanking it off of Jawnâs head. âTHEREâS Daddy Monkey!!!â
Jawn squealed and wrapped his arms around Sherlockâs neck; âMe, me, me!â
Sherlock laughed and sat back on his heels, bringing Jawn with him. âYou, you, you!â he said in between noisy kisses all over each of Jawnâs cheeks and forehead before leaning back, so he could see his cheery little face. âWait a momentâŚwhoâs Monkey are you again?â
Jawn wrinkled his nose, as if to say âwho do you think youâre kidding?â âDaâ,â he said, tilting his head up for another kiss.
Sherlock chuckled, low and warm and deep, as a slow smile spread upon his lips. âYouâre brilliant,â he said, and kissed the tip of Jawnâs nose.
Jawn grinned, the tip of his tongue poking between his teeth. âDaâ,â he repeated, and giggled when Sherlock kissed him again. âDaâ.â
Another kiss, this time on his chin.
AhâŚthere was a pattern! âDaââŚDaâ-Daâ-Daâ-Daâ-Daâ!â
Sherlock laughed out loud and kissed Jawn over and over, until Jawn was giggling and squealing too hard to babble his name anymore.
âDaddyâs loves his silly Monkey.â
âDaâ.â
