I am so so so so (x1000) so sorry! This month has been hectic with going to a supernatural convention, my brother got married, my grandpa died :( and work has been a killer. I kinda rushed this chapter so hopefully it isn't too bad *hides in shame* It's not edited well so any and all mistakes are mine! Hopefully you guys like it!

WARNING: eh not much of one besides kissing.

After the fight ended, Sherlock and John got back to the kitchen to finish looking into the books. Sherlock read over a few spells whilst John looked into demonic rituals. "Hey Sherlock, does this symbol ring any bells?" John asked flipping the book to show Sherlock.

"I haven't the faintest, what is it?" Sherlock asked grabbing the book and peering at the picture more closely.

"It's called a devils trap. A demon can't get out of it once put into it," John replied.

"A demon?" Sherlock asked looking up.

"Yea, here pass the book," John asked before Sherlock passed the book back to John who flipped through it. "Ah here it is. So it says that a demon can possess a person once they have escaped hell. The person then will have eyes that can turn black, some powers and are nearly impossible to kill. The way to get them back to hell is by exorcising them and then killing the vessel that it possessed."

"So do you think that maybe..."

"The killer may think that these people are demons," John finished for Sherlock.

"It's possible," Sherlock said before leaning back and putting the tips of his fingers in what John liked to call his 'thinking position'. John flipped through the book some more.

"It says here that holy water and salt are some ways to tell if someone is possessed by a demon. They will also flinch at the name of the lord in Latin."

"Wait did you say water and salt?" Sherlock asked breaking out of his trans. He went over to one of his samples and looked closely at it. "Look John, this here I think could be the holy water and salt," he said shoving the small bottle of water in his face. "The paint on her back can be something like that devils trap painted onto the ground. Thinking that these people were possessed by demons and having to kill them after he "exorcised them" or at least thought so. The only question is why does he think these people are demons?" Sherlock asked looking slightly frustrated.

"I'm not sure. These people seem to haven't done anything all that bad. I mean they haven't killed anyone as far as I know."

"Maybe it's just cause they have sinned," Sherlock said calmly.

"What do you mean sinned?"

"Well you saw Lily, she was a prostitute who stole from the people she slept with. Maybe not a huge sin but a sin none the less. Then we have Henry who stole an old ladies wallet for some money. once again, small but a sin. Maybe the killer thinks that because they sin, they must be demons. He clearly has some sort of mental disability if he thinks that people are demons. But why carve the note into the bodies I don't understand!" Sherlock yelled out in frustration.

"Look Sherlock it's late. I think you need to calm your brain a little and we can start fresh with Lestrade in the morning how does that sound?" John asked calmly.

"You know I don't sleep when on a case."

"I know but Sherlock please. You are so stressed and I want you to be able to think. I don't want you to be like you were before Sherlock we talked about this," John said looked towards John with a frown.

"Fine, but I will be up at around six then," Sherlock said with a pout and went toward their room.

"That's fine with me," John said following behind Sherlock. Both men got ready and changed into their pajamas. They went to lay down in bed, each on their sides. John looked over towards Sherlock who had his eyes open and staring at John. John smiled lightly and got closer before kissing Sherlock who eagerly kissed back.

"You need to relax more Sherlock. How about after this case, the two of us take a little vacation?" John whispered against his neck, his hands rubbing against Sherlock's back.

"That sounds like an idea I may be able to do. Where would you want to go?" Sherlock asked John.

"Mmmm how about to a beach?" John asked as he kissed along Sherlock's neck.

"Hmmm Never really been to a beach," Sherlock moaned back.

"Really? Then a beach for sure. Any one, doesn't matter to me," John said before devouring Sherlock's mouth once more. John got on top of him and straddled his waste, his hands exploring. Sherlock opened his eye in shock as John moaned above him and his hands started to go down towards his thighs. He began to panic slightly.

"John wait," he said in a slightly scared whisper. John immediately stopped.

"You okay?" he asked gently, bringing his hands up to cup his face.

"Yes just maybe we should get some rest?" Sherlock suggested lamely. He got a little nervous not knowing how John would react. He was surprised when he saw John smile at him calmly.

"Sure thing Sherlock. Good night," John said before giving him a light kiss and going to lie down.

"Night," he replied in a whisper. Sherlock felt guilty for stopping him so he went and wrapped his arms around John who eagerly snuggled into Sherlock. Sherlock noted that John fell asleep quickly and he couldn't help but think that John was far too good for him and that he needed someone that could satisfy his needs and not stop him every time they came close to having sex.

Sherlock fell into a restless sleep.

So for this story I intended for Sherlock to be OOC. I want to show that he really does care for John and is willing to do a few small things (like sleep during a case) for the man he loves(?). So he is far more cuddly and such here. I won't show that kinda stuff in public just during moments like this. Okay so some of the whole demon stuff may confuse those who don't watch supernatural so if you have any questions on anything, feel free to leave it in a review or PM me.

Please review :D
