"Didn't I say I was tired?" Sherlock said, not unkindly but clearly wanting John to leave. "Yes,but we need to talk. Now." John replied firmly, and Sherlock sagged visibly, upset by the prospect. "Why? You have made it very clear what you think of my feelings, and I will be moving out soon, so you needn't worry about seeing me any more. I understand your sentiments on the matter, who would ever love a sociopathic, ugly, worthless frea-"

"STOP!" John shouted. Giving into the urge, he grabbed Sherlock's hand and rubbed it soothingly, and Sherlock's head whipped round in surprise to face him. "When you died, I was broken, I missed you that I was a walking zombie, Greg and Molly tried to help but they could never succeed, not without you. And then you came back,and I was so angry at you, that you had been alive all this time, and left me to believe you dead. But when you said you loved me," at this Sherlock winced, "I just snapped, I suppose. I just was so mad at the fact that even though you loved me, you still let me believe you dead, and because... because I love and have always loved you." At this confession, Sherlock's eyes widened , and his breathing stuttered. "You...love...me?" he whispered breathlessly, a vulnerable and pleasing look on his face. It broke John's heart to see him, the ever-confident, self-assured Sherlock Holmes, meek and broken on a hospital bed. In response, he dipped his head, and his lips met Sherlock's in a gentle kiss, making Sherlock gasp in shock. John, taking advantage of this, slipped his tongue into Sherlock's mouth,, eliciting a soft moan from Sherlock. After a few more seconds, they pulled back, cheeks flushed and their chests heaving. "Wow!" they said in unison and then Sherlock laughed, a deep, warm rumble th made John's heart leap. "That was my first kiss," admitted Sherlock, ducking his head to hide his blush. "Really?" John said, astonished at the fact. Surely even Sherlock would have had a relationship by now? "No one really ever wanted to be my friend, let alone have a relationship with the freak." Sherlock said bitterly, as though afraid John would realise he made a mistake. John was horrified. "No, Sherlock, I didn't mean to upset you. Look at me," he said, pulling Sherlock's chin to face him as he saw the other man turning away in shame, "I love you Sherlock, and nothing will EVER change that. You are so beautiful -it's true, "he said when Sherlock scoffed, "please, don't doubt yourself, because you are the most beautiful person I have ever laid eyes upon, and I w and you to see that too."

"if I'm the most beautiful them I can only wonder where you've been your entire life." Sherlock replied, and John smiled, glad to see some of Sherlock's sarcasm and spirit back. "When will you realise that being different is lovely. You are positively exquisite, and I am so honoured to have been your first kiss. I. Love. You." John replied firmly, and Sherlock, overwhelmed with his love for this kind, kind man, whom ,in his eyes, he was undeserving of, he showed an unexpected bout of emotion. Unexpected, but certainly not unwelcome. Sherlock threw himself at John, having disconnected himself from the machines a while ago without anyone's notice, and hugged John with all of his little strength, as if scared he would disappear, that this was all a dream. John, understanding Sherlock's fears, shifted slightly, and pulled Sherlock into his chest, and stroking his chocolate curls until the man fell asleep. He smiled fondly, and only tightened his hold when he felt Sherlock snuggle into his chest more. "Mycroft," he called knowing that Sherlock wouldn't wake any time soon, and that the man was outside and waiting. "Yes? Can I come in now? Did you hurt him?!" was the reply, and the voice became significantly louder towards the end. "So you have a camera? You don't want to kiss this!" was the reply from John as Mycroft came in and smirked. Oh, he'd have enough blackmail to last a month, he thought.
