A Little Awkward
"Sherlock?" the three of them say all at once with surprised looks on their faces. Sherlock just stands there watching them and Irene is just sitting there trying not to laugh at the looks on their faces. Of course Mrs Hudson is the first to break the silence.
"Sherlock! I thought I lost you for good!" She says walking over to him and giving him a hug which he happily accepts. She's smiling much brighter than she had been in the last year.
"You didn't think you could get rid of me that easy did you?" he says in a happy tone looking at her then to John who's face is still stuck in the same surprised position. John just can't comprehend what is going on
"But, how could you?" John says standing up still staring at Sherlock while he was walking closer. "I saw you jump, you made me watch you jump off the top of Barts" he said with anger in he's tone, he hated that Sherlock made him watch him jump and fall. He was happy but also angry at his friend. He started to clench his fist in anger
"Yes and I will tell you about how I survived in good time if you can't figure it." The next thing he knows he sees john pull back his arm and then pushes his arm forward with all his force smashing into the side of Sherlock's face, missing his mouth and nose again, and him tumbling to the floor in pain. He looks up to his friend with anger and hurt in his eyes
"What did you do that for?" asked Sherlock angry and holding the side of his face. 'God he's got a strong punch' Sherlock thought to himself
"That's for all you've put me through!" said John with rage through his eyes "I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD SHERLOCK!"
"You had to believe I was or you'd be dead!" Sherlock said with just as much anger in him while he was trying to stand up
"What?" John asked confused his voice a little lighter but still anger ran through him
"If they didn't think I was dead they would have shot you, Mrs Hudson and Inspector Lestrade!" He said with his voice still high but starting to come down to his cool self again putting his mask back on "Moriarty said that if I didn't kill myself they were going to kill all of you so I had to fake my death and put you through pain to protect you"
"I could of come with you on the run" John said softer this time
"They still would have killed them" as he pointed to Lestrade and Mrs Hudson "I would not let my only friends die because I didn't do something" he said softer and sweetly showing the first bit of emotion, other than just rage, John has ever seen in him, that any of them have seen in him actually, before putting his mask back on and looking cold again. They just stood there looking at each other for a little while having a conversation through their eyes but not there words. John eventually stormed to his bedroom to cool down a bit and the inspector left still surprised at what Sherlock said, he thanked Sherlock for what he did before he left and Mrs Hudson went back down the stairs. As Sherlock lay awake on the couch he tried to deduce what the next couple of days would be like but came up blank. For the first time ever Sherlock had no idea what was happening or going to happen.
