Nothing new
"And given that you love me -"
"Ack!...What?"
" - I'd say - Hm?"
"You - I what?"
"Didn't you know already? Honestly. Do keep up, John."
"No I -...I knew. I just. Wasn't aware that you did."
"Why wouldn't I know?"
"Well. I. Never said. Yes ok I am aware that's a stupid thing to say but I've already gone and said it, so."
"Mhm. It has been abundantly clear, nevertheless."
"Yeah of course it has. I'm sure I've subconsciously changed how I get dressed in the morning or some other nonsense that told you straight away how I felt."
"Don't be ridiculous, John. You show me every day that you love me, in how you care for me. You ensure that I eat, that I rest. That I take care of myself."
"...Well. I'd do that for anyone though."
"Would you? Granted, it's been some time since I looked through your texts -"
"Sherlock!"
"- but to my knowledge you've never texted Lestrade to ask when he last ate, or slept."
"Well - I don't live with the man."
"So?"
"So...his...lifestyle choices are none of my business."
"So it's not your business if your friend takes care of himself."
"No! I - What -...Look I don't even know why we're arguing."
"Nor do I, to be honest."
"...Right. Ok. So. Yes, alright, I do love you."
"Yes. You have for some time."
"Have you known, this whole time?"
"I believe so."
"And you never said anything?"
"You seemed content."
"...Well. Yes, I am."
"So what's there to say?"
"Well - I don't know. I -...Hm."
"...Would you like me to say that I love you too?"
"I - Uh. Well. If. If you mean it. Then. Yes?"
"I do love you too, John."
"...Right. Ok."
"It doesn't change anything at all, does it."
"...No. It. It really doesn't."
"Hence why you never had to say it to me."
"Well. I'll keep showing you, though."
"And I'll keep showing you too, John. Or trying anyway, you've apparently been oblivious thus far."
"Shut up. Git."
