"Sorry boys! I'm soooo changeable! It is a weakness with me. But to be fair to myself, it is my only weakness. You can't be allowed to continue. You just can't. I would try to convince you. Everything I have to say has already crossed your mind." Jims voice echoed through the dark pool as his loud footsteps boomed in the abandoned stadium and walked to face Sherlock
"Probably my answer has crossed yours." Sherlock replied. Lifting Johns gun to point at Moriarty.
If I shoot him now, I will be killed by one of the other people and worse John will be killed too.
Sherlock snapped back into reality to see Jim smirking at him and then Sherlock lowered the gun to point at the bomb-laden jacket
At least this way there is still a chance that John can survive the explosion although it is unlikely that I will be able to endure the force.
John could feel his heart beating faster that it had ever done before. The same adrenalin that he had experienced while he was a soldier. Sherlock seemed to have frozen and everything was silent
'Bzz Bzz'
Sherlock flinched and hesitated before reaching to his pocket for his phone. Hand still holding the gun in the same position although shaking slightly now. Moriarty watched Sherlock's actions with a questioning expression.
'Hold on Sherlock, we are coming. You need to distract Moriarty until we arrive. Mycroft'
After reading it twice through Sherlock still didn't know what to do.
"Someone wanting to wish you farewell? Although I doubt it because everyone thinks you are at your flat, all safe" Jim made eye contact with Sherlock and cocked his head in a questioning manner.
John coughed loudly, making sure Sherlock hadn't forgotten about him. Suddenly Sherlock jerked violently
Of course… JOHN!
John knew Sherlock well enough to know that he had just come up with a solution. Before he could collect his thoughts, Sherlock had run back towards John and pushed him against the wall.
"Sherl- Sherlock what are y- you doi-" John managed to stammer before Sherlock leaned in and enveloped John's mouth in his own. He wanted to pull away but the was too shocked to move. John was still in shock when Sherlock shifted his own cheek down John's so he could reach his ear without Moriarty hearing.
"Follow my lead and everything will be ok"
Before John could reply Sherlock's lips were back against John's, pushing gently against his soft skin. The red dots were still pointing at Sherlock's back but he tried to ignore them.
Jim was still standing on the same spot, astounded by the sight and for once he didn't have any quick comebacks. Sherlock glanced over at him for a second, Jim's mouth hanging open just like he had demonstrated earlier.
He turned his attention back to John who was already gasping for air between each press of the kiss
Wow, John is really a good actor… Unless he really is-
His thought chain was stopped at the feeling of John's hands caressing up his back. Sherlock responded by placing his own long fingers on John's hips and drew him closer. John quietly moaned at the contact, pushing his hands into Sherlock's dark curls and pulled his head closer, making the kiss deeper. Gently prising Sherlock's lips open, he pushed his tongue smoothly into Sherlock's warm mouth, pulling harder at his tangled hair
'BANG! BANG!'
