I thank all of you who have left me comments on my first chapter. If you are reading this chapter, post a comment and tell me what you think! Your kind words really motivate me to want to write more :3

Holmes's POV:

My eyes widened in disbelief. "Watson is leaving Mary?" I thought. A million different feelings swarmed in my mind. I was still angry and broken inside because of Watson leaving me for that horrible woman, but I became very excited at the thought that Watson may want to spend more time with me now. Maybe even rebuild our previous relationship…

"I would like to ask you, Holmes if I may move back in with you," Watson said.

"I suppose you may." I said, careful of hiding my true emotions.

I thought I saw a slight smile come about his face when he replied, "Wonderful." He then told me that he still had to gather some of his belongings from his home with Mary. He said that he would be ready to settle at Baker Street within 2 or 3 days. He got up out of his chair to leave, and I stood to open the door for him.

When he was about to make his way down the stairs, he looked at me with a smile. He said, "Oh, how I've missed you Holmes."

I replied, "Really? I've barely noticed your absence," grinning back at him. Watson let out a slight chuckle, and left.

I went back to the living room, picked up my pipe, and sat down for some thinking. "Watson is finally mine again," was my first thought. I have my boswell back. I know that he left me for Marywhich caused me to fall apart, but I still can't shake the feeling of my attraction to Watson. Before Mary came, I loved Watson to the greatest extent that any friend could. But my love for him grew to be more than that of a friend. And when I saw Watson today, for the first time in a long time, all those feelings of love for him were enlightened. I was extremely angry and depressed because of his leaving me for Mary, but all those angry feelings began to fade when I saw him again. Maybe he is sorry for what he did, and he wants to develop a new friendship… or relationship with me again.

Although, I never told Watson of my true attraction to him in fear that he didn't feel the same way. But now that he left Mary, he had some reason to come back for me. He could have gone somewhere else, but something made him come back to living with me. He must've had a reason to want to be with me again. Maybe he feels the same way? But… I'm not sure. For he can still occasionally act like the tightly knit military doctor he was. Anything of that nature I'm speaking of in the armed forces would probably result in some form of humility or hatred… But anyway, I will have my Watson back with me again, and right now, that's all that matters.

Watson's POV:

As I hailed a cab to take me to the house Mary and I lived in for one final trip, I began to think about the way Holmes was acting towards me today. He was being very affectionate with that hug… not that I'm complaining. That hug made me think that there is still a chance that Holmes and may have a relationship together someday.

I wasn't always sure of my true feelings for Holmes. For a long time I thought of him as only my dearest friend, and nothing more than that. But then I began to realize all the little quirks about him that I loved. Like the way he becomes so determined when he is working on a case. Or that devilish look he gets in his eyes when he has a brilliant idea. I have also learned to love all his wise cracks about things he finds dull or without purpose, like Scotland Yard.

All these little things I love about Holmes have made me realize what an amazing man he is. His brilliance and intelligence blow me away. Also, his strength and fighting skills impress me very much, for he was never trained. The way that he deduces so many facts from the tiniest of details just makes me want to listen to every word he says. And even when he acts so serious, he finds the time to make a joke about something.

I just find everything about him so intriguing. He has so many skills that he has learned to utilize so well. Besides being so intelligent I do also find him very… well… handsome. But I shall never tell him any of this. He can be so difficult sometimes and he does not like discussing the concept of love or relationships. Sometimes I just wonder why he has never even attempted to have a relationship. There are plenty of women out there who are attracted to him… at least, it is obvious that Irene Adler is one of them.
