Very sorry for taking so long to update. I've been sick lately. I promise I will have an update within the next couple days after this one.

Sherlock moved over to me awkwardly and rested his head on my shoulder. I admit, it wasn't at all undesirable.
"John?"
"Yeah?"
"I want to kiss you but I want more. I think, John, that I love you."
My heart leapt in my chest. He leaned up to meet my lips with his but I turned away, using all my strength to do so.
"You think you love me? Or do you know you love me? Because I don't want you to love me then reject me the next day. I can't take that."
He looked at me seriously, examining my expression. Meanwhile my head felt as if it would explode. I couldn't take much more of this. Why did he always have to think of every answer? Why couldn't he just say yes or no?
Slowly, he took my head in his hands and kissed me, not allowing me to turn away.
"It took a while to realize it, but when I saw you looking away, I just couldn't allow myself to let you go to another man. I love you, John."
I took a moment to think, then realized no words were more appropriate than: "Let's go to bed"
