No Reason Required


Sherlock had been shot during a case involving him and John having to chase after an art thief who unfortunately had been armed, unbeknownst to them.


Sherlock didn't remember much as he stirred awake,

"Errrrrr..." he grumbled causing John to sigh in relief as Mary did the same,

"You gave us a real scare there, mate" John expressed and Mary nodded in agreement,

"What happened?" Sherlock mumbled as he pressed a button making his bed rise so he was sitting up,

"You were shot. You lost a lot of blood causing you to need a blood transfusion, you've been out cold for five hours" Mary explained gently and Sherlock gave a surprised expression,

"I'm surprised they found my blood type so quickly. I have a very rare blood type" Sherlock said,

"AB negative to be precise" a voice said causing them to look to wards the door to see Molly enter,

"Hey Molls, Not surprised that you know his blood type" John teased and Molly giggled,

"Yeah well, it comes with the whole pathologist job description" she said,

"I'll get him back to baker street safely" Molly assured and John nodded,

"Thanks, Mol" he said,

"See you tomorrow, Sherlock" he said before leaving with Mary.


Molly smiled at Sherlock gently,

"How are you feeling?" she asked,

"Exhausted" he answered with a smug smile causing Molly to look curious,

"What?" she asked and he raised an eyebrow,

"Lift your right sleeve for me" he said and Molly gave him a warning look mixed with humour,

"Indulge me" he pressed and Molly rolled her eyes before pulling up her right sleeve to reveal a white square band aid on her arm with a small red dot signifying the needle prick that hid behind it,

"You gave me your blood... Why?" he asked and Molly smiled softly as she pulled her sleeve back down,

"Oh Sherlock... I really don't need a reason" she said before leaning forward and pressed a kiss to his forehead.


I hope you enjoyed this cute little one shot!
