Okay, I know this is short, but really I don't know how to make this longer; the conditions I gave to discover your soul mate gives me very little room to move… ironic how your own words can turn against you -_-v
So I decided to add another condition: you don't need to lock gazes only, but joining your left hands together, the ones nearer to where your heart is. That way I can prolong this a little longer… and maybe I could do a little Mystrade one-shot telling you how they discovered that they were soul mates. Will you like that? :)
The case was finished. During the course of those days, John had marveled about his flat mate's intelligence (it was just incredible how he could deduce his whole life with a look), followed a cab through the streets of London (without having to use his cane!), had been kidnapped by Sherlock's archenemy (who turned out to be his brother), moved to Baker street and shot a cabbie to save Sherlock's life (that damnly brilliant bastard should have known better than to take that pill! He really was an idiot)
Yes, you may find all this crazy (especially the kidnapping and the shooting a cabbie part, though if you ask John about the last one he'll deny it vehemently), but while all this was happening, John had felt like if his life had a purpose again. Oh, how he had missed that rush of adrenaline he grew so accustomed, and addicted lately, in the army. He had never felt so alive since then. He needed that like a user needed his hit. And for the first time since he got shot, he had found the only person who gave it to him: Sherlock Holmes.
So, will John stay with him and never move out or find another flat mate?
The answer was pretty simple. Obvious, like Sherlock would say.
Oh God, yes.
Sherlock felt... happy. For the first time he was feeling an strange happiness which had nothing to do with The Work or the thrill of solving a case.
It was because, for the first time in his life, he had got someone who wouldn't leave him. At least, not immediately.
Sherlock was slightly impressed that the man known as John Watson had followed him without a single protest, even when he had left him in the crime scene (not that he cared about that, in fact he didn't understand why normal people found that annoying. He just knew that it had annoyed a lot the army doctor by doing that. And he still had done what Sherlock had asked once he got to the flat)
But then Sherlock had turned to be totally and fully surprised when John Watson didn't only turned down the money his brother had offered him to spy on him, but also had killed a man to "save" him (Yes, "save", because he was completely sure that he had took the right pill). It was the first time that someone had done something like that for him (and without being paid by his annoying brother), so he had felt...somewhat...thankful (something he wasn't accustomed to).
Yes, John Watson was an incredible man, someone who in the course of a few days had showed him that he couldn't deduce him completely. What at first seemed like plain, normal, boring man with sibling problems and an adrenaline addiction, only useful because of his medical knowledge (with him Sherlock wouldn't have problems with forensics anymore), turned out to be a very interesting puzzle, one he was having a hard time trying to figure out.
A week later, he gave up on the task. If he figured him out, John Watson will be one more boring person, and he would got bored of him soon, losing his first and only friend. And he would be alone again. He had thought that alone protected him, but John Watson had shown him that the pleasure of having someone to talk to, and that actually talked you back (that was the only defect of his skull), praising you for your deductions (the first one to do that, actually), was incredible.
So he came to a decision: John Watson would be the only puzzle he would never resolve. Ever.
Well, I know this haven't got much in common with the soul mate's AU thing, but I think this works somehow. Any way, now that I have given the touching condition thing, I can extend the story a lot. So tell, me, would you like anything special to happen in the next chapter? I you do, please say so! I'm open to ideas :)
Please keep sending reviews! Reviews motivate me and give me the force to continue writing ^_^
By the way, NOTE TO JAWNLAWNK: Sorry to place this here, but a reviewer called Jawnlawnk (I think it's spelled like that) had asked me to be my beta, and I would like to tell them that I would absolutely love that :) So, as he/she doesn't have an account here, please contact me (anyone in fact-if you'd read my profile you'll know that I love doing cooperative fics with anyone, as well as making friends all over the world, so if you want a chat call me XD) in espiritudelmar34 "arroba" (you know, that "a" inside of something like a circle; ffn won't let me write it) gmail . com.
To make it clear: espiritudelmar34 "arroba" gmail . com
Take out the spaces and place that a inside of a circle where it puts "arroba" and you have it. Any doubts, PM me and I'll see how I do it ok? ^_^
And finally, I'd like to thank every one who had at least read it. I've found out that people from 25 COUNTRIES HAD READ THIS FIC! Incredible for me! So thanks to everyone! :)
