This song I think is pretty good with this couple.

Song: All the Same by Sick Puppies

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I just added this to my iPod. I think that if you listen to it, it makes sense with this couple in Holmes' point of view. This is going to be in third person though. This drabble pretty much surrounds the refrain of the song.

Enjoy! (or try to)


"Holmes, I'm going to live with Mary."

"Fine."

"…fine?"

"Fine."

Watson looked confused. He had expected that sad face to show. It was uncommon, but since Holmes had found out about his and Mary's relationship, he had been sulking a bit more than usual.

But now, there was…dare he say it, an amused look in the detective's eyes. Watson was even more confused, but he took it as a good sign. Perhaps Holmes was getting over it like he had hoped.

So, he packed up and left, saying goodbye.


Holmes chuckled to himself. He knew this story. It had happened many times in this order:

First: Watson would meet a woman. They would be closer than mere friends.

Second: The relationship would get serious, and Holmes would meet the girl.

Third: Watson would go off to live with her.

Fourth: a month at tops later, Watson would come back broken hearted for some sort of reason, Holmes would console him (as best he could; he wasn't much of a consoler) and everything would go back to normal.

All he had to do was wait. He didn't like to wait though. Without Watson in the house, it just wasn't the same…but he would have to be patient.


*3 weeks later*

The door opened. Holmes looked up from the fire, putting down his violin.

"Watson, what are you doing here? And with your luggage?"

Watson had a deep frown on his face, "Mary…I don't think she's right for me."

"Oh?"

"I felt like I had to hide a side of me from her. The one that was from the war. And…I don't like to hide half of me from someone."

Holmes chuckled. That was Watson. When he loved someone, he was loyal to them, and he would want to give everything to them. But if that wasn't what the other wanted, then it wouldn't work out. Watson was too honest and had such a guilty conscience. And in this case that conscience could only handle 3 weeks.

"Holmes…"

"Hm?"

"Will anyone ever love all of me?"

Holmes smiled a bit. "Yes. I know that someone actually."

"Really? Who?" Holmes almost laughed as he saw that Watson had already figured it out.

They kissed.

The fourth step was completed.
