Intoxication

Greg looked on as Sherlock deduced that the criminal had to be someone the victim knew personally and then talked down on Anderson who tried to make a deduction too. 'And it was so wrong as well. Why the hell did I hire him?'

Seeing Sherlock solving a case was intoxicating. The way he slowly cracked each clue until he found the killer was like a drug. Lost in the feeling of intoxication he didn't notice Anderson making to attack Sherlock until it was too late.

Seeing Anderson tackle Sherlock on the ground and start punching him, Greg was stunned momentarily before he burst into action. Pulling Anderson off of the genius, he knelt next to him and saw that his face was bloody.

Whipping out his phone, he called for an ambulance and then turned to Anderson furious beyond belief. "Don't come in tomorrow. The only way you'll come back to the force is in handcuffs. And I will do everything in my power to make this happen." Anderson paled at Greg's snarl.

Before Greg could attack him verbally even more, the ambulance finally arrived. Getting in the ambulance with the doctors, Greg stopped them before they got painkillers in his system. "Don't give him any drugs, he is a former addict and it will make him go in shock." Greg explained, making them nod.

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctors examined him and discovered that, not only did he have multiple bruises, but also a concussion and a sprained leg because of the fall.

Greg entered the room Sherlock was in and he was filled with immense guilt when he saw the pain in Sherlock's newly opened eyes. "I am sorry." Greg whispered making Sherlock look at him as if he was mad.

"What for? If it wasn't for you I would be much worse." "But if I wasn't so absorbed into what you were doing I would have stopped him much sooner." Sherlock sighed and gestured Greg to come closer. "Greg, it wasn't your fault." Sherlock said and pulled his head down to kiss him.

Letting him go, Sherlock watched amused as he was stunned into silence. "I will tone it down around you." Sherlock promised but Greg shook his head. "I am so intoxicated by you that I don't believe that it would make a difference." Greg said and bend down to kiss the detective again.
