Deductions
John usually left the deductions to Sherlock. Deductions were Sherlock's thing. He was the world's only consulting detective, after all.
But John had learned a few things while being Sherlock's right hand man. And, lately, John had been able to make some deductions of his own. And he wasn't so sure about how he felt about the conclusions he'd drawn.
He'd decided that he was going to observe Sherlock. He knew it was a dangerous pastime, but he had gotten bored at one of the crime scenes. He'd opted for observation, and, to John at least, Sherlock was by far the most interesting thing there.
Yes, Sherlock. With his height and his mind and his curly hair and his voice and just him. He looked beautiful on that crime scene.
Wait, wait, wait. Did I just call Sherlock Holmes 'beautiful'? Get it together, John!
Where were we? Oh yes! Deductions. As has been established, John made some deductions of his own.
Sherlock Holmes was in love.
John saw all the signs Sherlock had rambled on about once. Sherlock blushed frequently, smiled a bit too often, breathed rapidly, and had dilated pupils. It was the truth, John knew. Sherlock was truly in love.
The part he didn't know what to think about was the fact that Sherlock was in love with him. He knew it was true. He only blushed when John was looking at him. He smiled a bit too often only at John. He breathed rapidly only when John was particularly close. His pupils dilated only when looking at none other than Dr. John Watson. Sherlock was definitely in love with him. There was absolutely no denying it.
And the craziest part? John loved him back.
Yeah, John thought, I should definitely leave the deductions to Sherlock.
