As always thank you so much for your reviews please keep them coming they mean so much to me! I am having so much fun with John and Sherlock and have a few more stories that I hope to start soon!

Sadly I still don't own Sherlock but I do own a lot of Sherlock memorabilia!
Sherlock lay in bed staring at the ceiling, he wasn't a good sleeper at the best of times but this was ridiculous. If this carried on there was no way he would be able to sleep, if it didn't stop soon he would need to do something about it.
"For God sake," he muttered as once again John's loud snoring penetrated the flat. He couldn't help wondering how such a small person could be so loud.
He quietly went into John's room noting as he suspected that he was lying on his back which made his snoring worse. This was yet another occasion he was glad John was a deep sleeper, something that also served him well during his late night or early morning experiments. He moved over to him and carefully, so not to wake him he rolled him over. He waited a few moments to see if it quietened the snoring before going back to bed.
Thanks to John's snoring now being a lot quieter as a result of his actions he was able to sleep. However he was soon woken as John's snoring once again blasted through 221B. He groaned frustratedly as he got back up heading to his bedroom.
"John, wake up," he said sharply as he shook him awake.
"What? Sherlock, what the hell are you doing? What's wrong?" he demanded.
"For a soldier your reactions are incredibly slow. Aren't soldiers meant to have a higher level of awareness incase of invasion? This is the second time I have been in your room tonight and you had no idea till I purposely woke you up," Sherlock said.
"I wasn't a soldier i was a doctor and - hang on, the second time? What the hell were and are you doing in room?"
"Trying to get you to stop snoring, it's so loud I can't sleep" Sherlock answered.
"Well this makes a change," John said with a slight smirk.
"What?"
"Now it's me keeping you awake rather than the other way round," John said.
"I don't keep you awake," Sherlock protested.
"Playing the violin or conducting experiments that result in small explosions in the middle of the night, you really think that doesn't keep me awake" John asked.
"That is nothing compared to your snoring and anyway you are a deep sleeper," Sherlock pointed out.
"Not that deep a sleeper," John snapped.
"The question remains, what are we going to do about this? There are a number of options available, you could try some of the treatments available in the chemist and if that doesn't work you can speak to a doctor about surgery. "
"I am not getting surgery just because my snoring kept you up one night," John said.
Sherlock stared at him as John stormed out his own bedroom to sleep on the couch. He shook his head not quite able to believe just how selfish he was being.
