He prodded Sherlock with his foot. "Eat, come on, it's good!" Sherlock gave him a dubious look but did as he was told. "Do you think we should go on vacation or something? Might be nice" Was John saying he wanted to leave? For a split second Sherlock panicked.
"You want to go away..?" ...Have I done something wrong?
"Yeah, change of scenery might be nice.."
"...I expect you'd want to visit your sister too" Please don't leave.
"Yeah I haven't seen her in awhile, she wanted to come down but wasn't able too"
"I see...well.. by all means, if you feel thats best. It's getting colder here, perhaps some place warm?"...you really intend to leave don't you?
"Yeah, somewhere warmer would be good! Maybe somewhere with a beach perhaps..."
Sherlock nodded, sipping his drink and finishing his food. "Fine, go then, I don't care..". John looked confused. Did he think... oh the bloody idiot. No thats not what I meant!
"You're an idiot."
"I beg your pardon?"
"Im not going on vacation by myself, you're coming with me"
"You...what?"
John shook his head, a small smile on his lips. "Like Im leaving you alone, after all thats happened. No you are coming with me, where I can keep an eye on you". Oh..Im stupid aren't I John. I should have realised...he understood if John didn't want to be around him, especially right now, he was hardly good company.
"Oh.. you..together ?"
"Yes Sherlock, we both need some fresh air, you especially"
"Well.. I suppose...yes I'd like that, I haven't been on vacation...well in years I suppose"
"Then it's settled" John finished his meal and what Sherlock had left over. "Ill take a look on the internet when we get home, you don't mind if me visiting Harry though do you?" Sherlock shook his head, John should spend as much time with his sister as he could, Sherlock only wished he had done the same with his own sibling. Now it was too late. He'd never get that chance again.
Together they left the little restaurant.
