This one is dedicated to my good friend, Judailuvr911!! As I recall, you like Nickelback!

Song: Savin' Me by Nickelback

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This song I think shows that Holmes is just a lonely soul in need of another to hold onto. Enter Watson! YAAAY! Sorry, I just had two cookies and a Butterfinger.

ENJOYYYYYY!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY FOR CHOCOLATE!!! XD


Sherlock Holmes wasn't one for society. The world was full of things that just didn't interest him. And most people found him irritating anyway, even when he was on a case.

He was cold and anti-social. He didn't know right from wrong at times. And he preferred to be nothing but a deducting machine, not a human being. He thought of the body as but a vessel for his vast mind. Heart, soul, feelings? You can forget it when you're with him.

So overall, he sounds like a bastard, right?

Well, to many people, he was.

All but one.

Enter Doctor John H. Watson, former war surgeon and flat mate of Holmes. He has also been the detective's lover for about 7 months now. He wasn't just everyone else. He could see past all of the heartlessness, and see a lonely man. And at times that lonely man would break out from the cage that locked him up, like that Saturday evening.

It was around 7 o'clock. Watson was waiting for Holmes to come home from his boxing match.

Finally, the door opened, and Watson turned.

"Holmes? What's wrong?" he called softly.

Holmes looked very sad. It was a terrible sight to see in those beautiful grey eyes. Watson sat him down in a chair, and asked again what was wrong.

But he got no answer. Watson's brow furrowed.

"Sherlock?" he finally whispered.

Only then did Holmes even bother to look up.

"What's wrong?"

Holmes just shook his head and let it fall onto Watson's shoulder. He then whispered,

"Just don't talk please…"

Watson obediently stayed silent. It was a good 10 minutes before Holmes finally spoke in a soft voice:

"What am I to you?"

Watson was taken by surprise by the question. "What are you to me?" he echoed.

"Yes. Just answer the question."

"Hm…" Watson tried to put it into words what he felt. "I can't really describe it…" he admitted after 5 minutes, "I just really love you."

Holmes seemed to take comfort in that thought. Watson tried to further tried to lift his sudden depression by lifting his face and giving him a soft kiss.

"Whatever happened," he breathed, "Don't let it trouble you. Because I'll still be here to love you no matter what it is."

"John…"

Another kiss.


It almost always ends with that, doesn't it? XD anyway, I don't know if that really fit with the song, but I'm listening to it while I write, and it's what my mind came up with! So review pllleeaaasseee!!
