Hello everyone! This is my second slash story…I'm nervous about this one because it's my first multi chapter slash story. Please review!

John POV

"Sherlock, I'm just going to say it. I've been holding this in too long to ignore it any longer."

"Okay then, say it."

I took a deep breath, readying myself. Sherlock tried to turn back to his experiment, which I had interrupted. Clearing my throat, I demanded his attention but he motioned with his hand to continue. Oh well, maybe that would make it easier.

Today was the day. I was just going to say it. Just say it, John! Quick, like ripping off a bandage. I could feel myself sweating as Sherlock's gaze bore into me. God, I was sop nervous. Just say it!

"Sherlock, I love you."

He raised his head now, but didn't look directly at me. He had no expression and clearly wasn't going to answer, so I continued.

"Don't worry about it though. Not that you would anyways, I know you aren't exactly able to feel anything. But I had to tell you. I'm sorry. I'll-"

"Don't say you are leaving, John. That's dumb."

He stood up and leaned forward slightly, pinning where I stood with his glare.

"Sherlock-"

"John, I might not love you yet but I definitely feel something. Leaving would only cause me to forget that, which isn't in the best interest for either of us. I benefit from you as you do from me. Therefore, we need each other. Now, I'm very busy, if I could just continue my experiment…" he trailed off.

I was speechless.

"Sherlock, you're going to have to explain."

This is all I have time to type for now…please enjoy. We will be getting to slash in later chapters.
