The suicides
The next day
John is looking for the address that Sherlock gave him yesterday, he sees a cab stopping 1 meter away from him, he steps aside, the door from the taxi opens, Sherlock comes out of the cab.
"Ah, Mr Holmes".
"Sherlock, please".
Sherlock Knocks on the door.
Mrs. Hudson opens the door.
"Sherlock! Oh I missed you, come in."
"I have just been gone for 7 hours." Sherlock says while hugging Mrs. Hudson.
John and Sherlock go inside.
They enter the room.
"What do you think?" Sherlock asks.
"Well, This could be very nice." John says while looking around.
Mrs. Hudson comes in and says: "Oh Sherlock, the mess you've made". she sighed
"What do you think, Dr Watson?
"Yeah, it looks really nice"
"There's is another bedroom upstairs, if you'll be needing two bedrooms." Mrs. Hudson said with a big smile.
Sherlock smirked.
"Of course we'll be needing two" John was a bit confused.
"Oh, Don't worry. I wont tell anyone." she said with a wink.
Sherlock was looking trough his stuff but he couldn't find anything.
"I NEED A CASE" He yelled.
She walks to the kitchen and takes the newspaper.
"What about these suicides then, Sherlock?"
"Isn't that something for you, Sherlock?"
"Three exactly the same."
"Sherlock you have to solve it or there will be more deaths"
"Yes, yes I will solve it." he said irritably. "But I have to do something first."
"He walks out of the room, asking: are you coming Dr. Watson ?"
"Oh do I have to come with you?" John asks.
"Yes, of course you have to come with me. You're not going to sit in that chair all day, are you?" Sherlock says frustrated.
"Ok, i'm coming"
John followed Sherlock all the way to the restaurant.
They go inside and sit on the table next to the window and call the waiter.
The waiter comes and asks if they want to order anything, John orders a pizza and Sherlock only orders a glass of water.
The waiter asks if they need any candles to make it more romantic.
Sherlock pretends he didn't hear that.
"Uhm, I am not his date." John says.
"The waiter nods with a smile and then walks away."
"So why are we even here?" John asks as Sherlock looks out the window.
"I'm waiting for someone." Sherlock says.
"Are you waiting for your girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend?"
"No, not really my area." Sherlock says.
"Mmm."
"Oh, right." John says.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Which is fine by the way."
"I know its fine."Sherlock says while he turns his head and looks at John.
"So you've got a boyfriend then?"
"No"
Sherlock says quickly.
"Right, okay," says John, licking his lips and looking at Sherlock's lips.
Oh they look so soft, how would it feel to touch them or kiss them.
"Oh, what am I even thinking, I don't even know this man"
The waiter comes with his pizza and Sherlocks glass of water.
"Are you sure you don't want any candles?" The waiter asks.
"No, thank y-"
"Yes that would be very nice." Sherlock interrupts john.
"Okay, then let's make it cozy." John says.
"So who are you actually waiting for?" John asks Sherlock who is still looking out the window.
Sherlock looks up to the ceiling and then to the right.
And then john realises how sharp his jawline really is.
"Holy shit, that's so sharp" He almost says out loud.
"What did you say?" Sherlock asks.
"Oh , nothing" John chuckles.
"And don't you want to eat anything? you haven't eaten all day."
"No. Food disturbs my mind." Sherlock says while John is eating his pizza.
After John ate his pizza. John asks. "Can we please go home we've been waiting here for over 3 hours? "
"I don't think the person who that may be will come."
"Yes, you're right." Sherlock says as he blows out the candles.
Then they walk back home.
When they come home, John let himself fall into the couch and Sherlock in his.
John looks at his watch and sees that it is already 2 am.
"we really need to go to sleep now." John said, yawning.
"And were can I sleep?" John asks.
"They are renovating the guest bedroom so it is a bit dusty."
"And we haven't made your bed, uhm you can sleep in my bed if you want, I have a really big bed." Sherlock said.
"Uhm isn't that a bit weird?" John said.
"Do you want to sleep or not?" Sherlock said a little angrily.
"OK it's fine." John said.
"Maybe we can put a few pillows between us so we don't roll towards each other". John says
They went upstairs. Sherlock took another pillow and blanket for John.
"Yeah, that's fine." Sherlock said as he crawled into bed.
After that they went to sleep.
At first he felt a bit uncomfortable but after a few minutes he was already in a deep sleep.
As usually Sherlock couldn't sleep, mostly he works on a case but this time he didn't, he just watches John sleep.
How his chest goes up and down.
How his hair moves every time he exhales.
After a 30 minutes he falls asleep
They slept face to face all night.
The next morning.
It's 10 a.m.
John is the first to wake up.
He opens his eyes and sees an arm on his chest.
He wants to get out of bed but then he will have to move Sherlocks arm and he doesn't want to wake him up because he is sleeping so peacefully.
So he decides to stay a little longer in bed till Sherlock wakes up.
John is just laying in his bed looking at Sherlocks arm and his beautiful hands.
"He's so attractive." He whispers.
Then he saw a vein and started to follow it, he followed it along his wrist up his arm and up to his upper body.
He sees his bare shoulder and then realises that Sherlock is not wearing any clothes. He gasped a little too loud which woke Sherlock up. John jumped out of bed and walked through the door. And went to the kitchen.
A few minutes later Sherlock walks in with a white blanket wrapped around him.
"Goodmorning." Sherlock says yawning.
"Goodmorning Sherlock, did you slept well?" John says while putting the bread on the table.
"Yes, very well"
Mrs. Hudson knocks on the door and says " who wants a cup of tea?" She asks.
"Yes please." Sherlock replies.
"And for you John?"
"No thanks." He says.
"And did you sleep well? "She asks. "I didn't saw you in the guest room yesterday"
"We slept together." Sherlock says while sipping his tea .
"Oh is that so?" Mrs. Hudson asks.
"I-I- think what he meant to say is that we just slept together in the same bed because It was already very late and my bed wasn't made, so that's why we slept in the same bed." John said tense.
Mrs. Hudson laughed a little bit and then walked away to her flat.
"And are we going to solve those suicides or not?" John asks.
"Yes of course, this is going to be fun." Sherlock said with a big smile.
"Ok let's get started."
