"So glad you finally 'got off' with her, John," Sherlock said almost before John was all the way in the flat.

"How did you know that?"

"Would you like a detailed explanation, major points, or none at all, considering that you and I both know that I'm right?"

"Withdrawn."

"So how do you know you don't love her?

"Goddammit Sherlock!" John yelled, slamming his fist down on the counter. "God fucking dammit!" Sherlock just stood there and watched him freak out coldly. John laughed bitterly. "My flatmate is the most brilliant detective to ever live. I don't know why I try to hide anything from you. You always figure it out."

"Because it's embarrassing, most likely."

"What?" John asked.

"Human emotions such as anger, and fear, and lo-" he stopped, but quickly continued. "and so on often inevitably lead to the human emotion of embarrassment. Obviously, I've never been embarrassed, because I don't have emotions, but-"

"Oh, really?" Sherlock looked up. "What?"

"You don't have emotions?"

"Another thing I've deleted. I don't need them."

"I don't believe you."

"Then I'll prove it."

"How?"

"I'll figure something out. As you so kindly stated, I am the most brilliant detective to ever live." John took a step back, pleasantly flummoxed. "Very well then," he said. "What were you about to say?"

"But I can imagine how it feels."

"Ah." The tension in the room was suddenly very plausible. Of course, Sherlock had figured out long ago that John was in love with him, and he wasn't sure exactly how to deal with it. For one thing, he'd never had such an admirer before (other than Molly), and for another, it would be so much easier to confront John about his feelings if he wasn't 98% sure that he shared them. The silence was awkward. Finally, Sherlock cleared his throat and said, "well. I'm going to bed. Good night, John." John stared awkwardly after him as he walked confidently into his room.

So, I just finished the premiere of series 2 (please don't spoil shit in the reviews, people. I've already read enough fanfiction to know some spoilers…). It makes me kind of sad, though, because now I can't stop thinking about Irene Adler, and it's hard to get into a Johnlock frame of mind, you know? Oh, whatever. I'll get over it.

Anyway, all my readers are awesome, and I love you, and please don't hate, kay?

Love,
Allie
