A/N: I cheated! Sorry (not really), I put two kisses in the one. Just think of it as one kiss. Also, as this has come up, my apologies at anyone who has been offended by any of the language used in this fic – I write as I believe the character would think, and ones mind is not censored. I myself don't use such language outside of my writing and also disagree with its use, however as it is my take on the character, I have the right to use it. Finally, if you don't like it, don't read.

It was raining. In fact, raining was an understatement. It was absolutely pouring, he was soaked through. The umbrella Sherlock was holding over them both was doing nothing. His suit was dripping of his, his hair stuck to his head. In fact, the only good thing about the rain was that no one could really tell that he was crying.
God, he sounded like a teenage girl, but rain was a bloody useful thing at a funeral.
The crowd had dissipated fairly quickly after the service; there was food and drinks at Clara's house. But John just couldn't face his sister's friends, apologising for his loss. At least Sherlock was quiet.
When John had first told Sherlock about Harry he had been working on an experiment. John was surprised when Sherlock even answered.
"Would you like me to come to the funeral?"
John supposed he did, and boy was he glad. He'd needed that support. No one had come near him. Sherlock was creepy at best, but he had assumed a look of terror for the day, for which John was grateful.
"Are you okay, John?"
Sherlock was soaked too, but he didn't seem to mind the weather, as though he was beyond it.
John didn't trust himself to speak, so he nodded.
"Do you want to go soon?"
He nodded again, but Sherlock was obviously worried, because he felt a hand on his chin, directing his face upwards.
He felt warm lips on his head forehead, and then eyes were searching his.
Another kiss, on the cheek.
"I'll go hail a taxi," Sherlock left him to stare one more time at the flowers from those who loved Harry so much.
John wiped his eyes.
"C'mon, John!"
