"Sherlock Holmes, you are my best friend, my flat mat, and a person I can't imagine myself living without. You are smart, handsome, and a complete dick at time but you make up for it with your heart. Today is the day you came into the world and I can't be anymore grateful than I am for you being here. I hope that in the years to come that I can make you see that world is a wonderful place, that people are beautiful and fascinating, and that I'm your friend until the end of days. I will always believe in you, even when you don't believe in yourself. Happy Birthday to you, Sherlock."
Sherlock had such a happy smile on his face in the glow of the candles of his chocolate cake that had the words 'Happy Birthday Sherlock' in a blue color that matched his scarf with a fondant deer cap. John couldn't help the smile that came to his face as he raised his camera to his face and said, "Blow out the candles and make a wish!" Sherlock blew out the candles with one breath as the camera flashed, claiming the moment, and together they sat and watched the smoke as it curled into the air.
"You being Sherlock Holmes, I know you don't believe in making wishes or that that telling people them won't make them come true, but I'm curious as to what you wished for." John said, as he reached a hand out across the table and put it on top of Sherlock's.
The smile that came to Sherlock's face was remarkable as he stared down at their touching hands and looked up. With his great height, he leaned across the table, managing not even to touch the cake with his chest, John leaning closer too.
"I have everything I need, what more can I ask for?" He mumbled, pressing a sweet kiss to John's lips.
In the flat of 221B Baker Street they stayed, unknown to the world, just another part of unrecorded history. Sherlock never forgot that day or the words John had spoken as the years went by, never forgetting, never letting go of the memories. Never failing to remember how he was once alone in the world but saved by a man named John Watson, a man he had dearly loved.
Happy Birthday Benedict.
You are marvelous human being and I could not thank you more. Have a wonderful birthday.
