Johnlock Fanfic Chapter 4
The next morning, John woke up, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He went out to the breakfast table, thinking Sherlock would be there early as usual. He was not, however, and John went into Sherlock's room to see if he was still asleep. There he was, his hair scruffy from sleep. He always looked so peaceful sleeping, without any worry on his face. Sherlock's skull was sitting on the side table. Mrs. Hudson had returned it when Sherlock had come back. John was reluctant to disturb him, but he knew Sherlock would want to continue the case. He sighed and shook Sherlock on the shoulder. He rolled over, a half smile on his face.
"Morning. I made you some coffee if you want some. I'll meet you at the table in a couple of minutes." John walked out of the room, glancing back. Sherlock had fallen asleep again. "You have to wake up. There's a letter from Lestrade that came in." At that, Sherlock's eyes shot open and he got up.
John went out to the table and drank his coffee. Five minutes later, Sherlock stumbled out of his room. He plopped down precariously and picked up his coffee.
"I couldn't fall asleep last night, could you?" John inquired, glancing at the bags under Sherlock's eyes.
"No."
John grabbed Sherlock's hand. "Hey, I know you meant it. Why don't you look at Lestrade's letter?"
John passed it to Sherlock. Sherlock tore it open and read: There has been an unusual case at Scotland Yard. Come immediately. "Come on, John! We've got places to go!"
John grabbed his coat and they rushed out the door, leaving breakfast unfinished on the table. They hailed a cab and got in. "Scotland Yard, and hurry!"
