Sherlock looked up from the two syringes he had just prepped, "Do you know what you're doing"
"I know my way around needles if that what you're asking," Dean retorted, "been diagnosing and treating Sam and myself since I was six. Believe me. I got this."
Sherlock nodded, as he handed one of the needles over to Dean. He had figured out that much; he had just asked to make sure. He had set up two syringes. One for himself, and a smaller dose for Dean. He watched Dean inject himself perfect, of course, before following seconds later into the anticipated bliss.
"Damn," Dean smiled as the drugs hit his system, "that was fast"
"Intravenous injection provides the greatest intensity and most rapid onset of euphoria. The typical reaction time is between 7 and 8 seconds"
"yeah, okay WebMD"
"What?" Sherlock asked, quirking his head. Dean is like a walking talking book of references to things I do not understand – the thought flitted out of his mind before he had the chance to fully process it.
"Nothing. Just… shut up", Dean said sinking down unto the floor,
"Eloquent" Sherlock couldn't help but respond. Even with the heroin running strongly through his veins, he couldn't help but question the other man's speech.
"this is fucking marvelous"
"Indeed" Sherlock allowed, taking his usual place on the couch, hands folded beneath his chin, legs sprawled up over the armrest, eyes trained on the ceiling. He took a few calming breaths. "Indeed".
Both of them sat there. Silently. Their eyes fixed on the nothing before them. Enjoying the reprieve of the drugs and the scenarios their minds provided for them. Their bodies feeling wonderfully and incredibly numb. All outside sensors tuned out. All nagging voices silenced. All self-loathing evaporated. Just nothingness; beautiful, incredible, perfect nothingness.
For the first time since Dean could remember, he was not full of guilt, or painful memories, or hurt. Dean's last coherent thought before everything turned to swirls was this. This is awesome.
thank-you for reading. I think this will end up being 5 chapters (maybe 6). I have the end written... i just have to get us there. Reviews, comments, and criticisms are love. This is my first Sherlock story, and i've only written 3 or 4 for Supernatural, so feedback helps! 3
