Reunited
SHERLOCK POV
Sherlock Holmes hadn't expected this, not a reunion in this way of the slightest.
He'd thought Dr. John Watson may use some of his army strength to beet Sherlock into a pulp after watching how John had been at Sherlock's graveside for the past month.
Part of him had wanted John to hate him for what Sherlock had left him like yet the rest wanted exactly this, he was very pleasantly surprised.
Sherlock had wanted to expose that he was alive to John every single day since his 'death'. But he had to wait to protect John and he had to wait to be sure. To be sure that John felt the same way he did.
Sherlock had always felt something for John since the day that they had met at St Bart's, Sherlock thought he felt pity for John because of everything he had been through and pity was something Sherlock scarcely felt for anyone, if at all.
This was different, Sherlock would have never cared about someone who had been through exactly the same as John, and he never usually cared about anyone. But Sherlock cared about John and soon became aware that John was special.
It didn't take long for Sherlock to realize but took much longer than Sherlock would have wished it to.
Sherlock started to realize that John was different than anyone he had ever met before when Sherlock took him to 221B Baker Street, he hoped John would choose to stay even before if it was only for the company.
Sherlock didn't have many, if any friends and he didn't wish to make John into one but he needed somebody to help with the flat and as Mrs Hudson had previously explained she was not his housekeeper but his land lady.
As soon as John saw the flat his face became a picture, it was full of excitement which was something that didn't seem to have been on John's face in a good while, Sherlock thought. Sherlock decided that this was due to an exciting future being laid out in front of him after the bleak and lonely one John had been left by being shot in the army while placed there as a doctor in Afghanistan.
It didn't take Sherlock long to figure out that John had been shot but finding the location was much harder than assumed as John had developed a psychosomatic limp and was actually shot in the left shoulder Sherlock was glad to have this right as he had wrongly assumed that Harry was John's brother whereas she was his alcoholic sister, Sherlock rarely got things wrong.
Sherlock immediately decided that he would take John on a case with him seeing as John was a doctor, he might be useful to have about and Sherlock felt weirdly relaxed around John.
John was extremely useful so Sherlock thought he would repay him by taking him for dinner which had a great view of the place they were to meet the serial killer on the plus side.
Angelo wrongly assumed them as a couple even bringing a little candle over for them, this strangely didn't bother Sherlock in the slightest and he had had no reason to protest. John did though stating that he was not Sherlock's 'date' but his flat mate.
John asked Sherlock later if he had a partner of any kind stating that it was fine if he was gay, Sherlock had replied by telling John he was 'married' to his work. Sherlock had wished many times afterward that he hadn't said this and had maybe asked John if he wanted to give the two of them a try.
Sherlock's own life was quickly becoming much more exciting with John around and the boring times left Sherlock shooting walls half as much as he had used to.
In the first week of knowing him Sherlock had gotten rid of John's psychosomatic limp, he had learnt almost every important thing about John and John had killed to save Sherlock's life.
