Sherlock has every candle in the flat in the kitchen.
“You know,” John says. “The electricity is out all over the flat, not just the kitchen.”
Sherlock doesn’t look up from his experiment. “The kitchen is the most important room.”
“Is it?” asks John. “Candlelight in the bedroom could be useful.”
“You’d knock the candles over, burn the flat down,” Sherlock remarks, still not looking up. “You flail a lot during sex.”
“I don’t flail,” John sputters.
“Don’t worry,” Sherlock says. “It’s endearing.” He finally looks up and smiles.
“Come flail in the dark with me,” John suggests.
Sherlock does.

And then old horn-dog John invites Sherlock for a fumble in the dark. I love it when everything is a suggestion, we know what is going to happen, but it's not necessarily explicit.
