Dedicating the shit out of this story to Lauryn
It's her. It's always been her. It took him a while to realise it, but now he is certain. There's just...something about her, isn't there? She just has this air about her that's absolutely captivating. Irresistible, even.
It was a sunny Tuesday morning and like usual, Sherlock decided to give Joan a puzzle to wake up to. He liked to do it to keep her on her toes and make sure she didn't slip into a false sense of security. Bright and early he crept into her bedroom as he usually did a couple times a week, puzzle and note in hand. Carefully balancing the note on her bedside table, he angled his head to the left to check she would definitely see it. This was when it happened. He looked at her beautiful, sleeping face and half smiled subconsciously. The cute button nose and full lips made her features seem evermore alluring. "She's beautiful", he struggled to keep in his head.
This was very uncharacteristic for Sherlock. He was really unsure as to what was going on, it was illogical. As he felt a swelling in his chest and a feel of electricity run through his body, he swiftly exited her room.
Shit.
Gliding down the stairs, he made his way to his favourite thinking space - the bay window. Sitting cross legged right in the middle he began to think. He retrieved a nearby notebook and a pen and began to brainstorm what these feelings could possibly mean. (Of course, in Sherlock's world nothing was ever simple). He started writing down his so-called 'symptoms': the feelings he got from simply looking at Joan, talking to her, even just texting her made him smile inwardly.
After about half an hour, he had a pretty good mind map forming with a small list along side it if possible diagnoses'. This consisted of things such as:
• a brain parasite
• a chest infection
and last on the list... • love
Slowly he began to cross things of the list. Brain parasite...no. A cheat infection...not getting the right symptoms, no. But that only leaves...love? But it can't be...can it?
