The room mate
Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are roommates for nearly two years now. John Watson came home from war as a wounded doctor with nothing left but his medical and military knowledge and a devastating small salary. He found many things had changed. Both his parents had died while he was gone but it didn´t really bother him. He never had a good relationship with his parents anyway. Especially with his father. His only sister Harry had started drinking again after her girlfriend had left her. John gave up on her after he tried countless times to get her clean and as the doctor that he is he couldn´t watch her destroying everything that was left of her. John was left with nobody. He started having nightmares and his injuries were getting worse every day. His shoulder ached not only in cold weather but nearly every time he moved just an inch and he started limping a view weeks after he got home. Memories of horrific scenes of the war he was not allowed to share with anybody were jumping into his vision every time he closed his eyes. Nothing really happened to him then and he unconsciously started staring at his gun whenever he opened the drawer until he met Sherlock Holmes. A sociopath with an extremely creepy ability to read somebody´s history just by watching him closely. John was fascinated by this man and after this meeting everything changed. John was in action again. Examining crime scenes and corps, running after suspects, dealing with clients and sometimes he had a reason to take his gun out of the drawer again. Sherlock was cold and estimating in the beginning but he changed in the long time they had been working together now. John was silently proud to be someone that important in the detectives life to be able to change him like that. Sherlock was still nothing like an ordinary person though. John wondered how much the consulting detective knew about his roommate and his background considering what he was able to deduce only by seeing somebody´s hands. Not to forget about his brother Microft who was literally the British government and had his eyes and ears everywhere. John thought he would never find out. He was wrong...
