Miscalculation

by CloudyLey

Sherlock hated to admit it, but he'd miscalculated. It had been just the two of them for so long; he'd stopped worrying about John meeting someone else. He'd become careless. And then she'd come along. ... Rating may go up in future chapters ;

Prologue

Sherlock sighed. "Come here"

"Just a second" John mumbled, trying to advert the disaster his tie was turning into. "I said, come here." Sherlock insisted, underlining his words with a typical impatient hand gesture.

He looked down at John and wordlessly took the tie from his hands, flattening it before placing it surprisingly gentle around his doctor's neck. "I do believe this is the 11th time I'm showing you how to do this." He said, swiftly tying a perfect knot.

"Thanks" John nodded gratefully.

"Well I've heard that's what best men do, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes it is Sherlock." The doctor smiled, looking up at his friend, whose hands were still on his tie. He slowly tightened the knot, his icy blue eyes fixed at John's.

"You should really learn how to do that for yourself then. Now that… "

The piercing eyes softened for a moment and John saw the hint of a smile ghosting in the corners of Sherlock's mouth. And the flicker of something else hiding right behind it, something he couldn't quite place.

"Right" Sherlock blinked a couple of times and cleared his throat. Suddenly his eyes seemed to be on everything except John. He quickly stepped back. "I'll be just …outside.. if you… need me."

He'd turned and walked out the door in a couple of long, graceful steps before John could respond anything.

This is my attempt at writing a multichaptered story... So just a short one for the beginning, but there'll be more soon ;) I'd love some contructive criticism, espeacially since I'm not a native speaker. Cheers :)
