John punches...and he hugs...below appear his initial reactions to Sherlock's parents...
He found himself having to actively disengage from staring the man down as the woman swooped in to apply her red, red lipstick to Sherlock’s cheek; failing when she pulled away just short of touching any part of him.
---
She then worked her way around to patting vaguely in the direction of Sherlock’s knee, which was almost within reach since he had wedged himself into a nearby chair; she even almost succeeded in making contact with the fabric of his trousers. As he too sank into a chair, John resolved to begin hugging his friend on a daily basis; to hell with what people would say.
