quite short ones sorry
i'm putting off coursework for this.
reviews would be lovely. any you want extended?
don't own Sherlock.
#31: Picture.
Mrs. Hudson likes her two boys upstairs. They fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Pieces which sometimes didn't show the same picture, but puzzle pieces none the less.
#32: Words.
"Maybe I don't want you to stay!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Sherlock knew he didn't mean it.
He could see John working over the emotions in his head, struggling between anger and sadness. Deciding whether he would be able to leave. And he turned on the spot, down the staircase, and out the door, before Sherlock could call his name.
#33: Apologise.
"Talk to him."
Sherlock said nothing.
"If you don't he'll never come back."
#34: Grey.
John had always felt that grey was the dullest colour. Not quite black, not quite white. The colour of depression. The colour of clouds. Then he noticed that Sherlock has grey eyes.
He doesn't feel that way anymore.
#35: Jokes
Anders doesn't like Sherlock Holmes. If he hadn't made it obvious enough, he did when he made a snide remark at John Watson, Sherlock's little pet. He hadn't been prepared for the reaction, when Sherlock's fists curled in his collar and his back was flat against the wall.
#36: Dinner
The first time Sherlock cooked for John, it didn't exactly turn out well. After many arguments about whether it was actually edible, they gave up and ordered pizza.
#37: Spontaneous
John finished stirring his tea, and turned to head back to the living room. Sherlock was stood in the doorway.
"You alright?" he asked with a concerned expression.
Sherlock took a step forward so he merely inches from John, who attempted to take a step back but found the counter pressing into the small of his back.
"Perfectly," and with the smallest movement brushed his lips over John's.
#38: Sleep
John struggles when Moriarty comes back. He doesn't want him near. He doesn't want to hurt again. He thinks that it would be nicer to sleep. Just for a little while. Just enough to be able to fight. John is so tired. All the time. And Moriarty won't let him sleep.
#39: Bruises
"Several cracked ribs, one fractured arm, and dislocated shoulder, broken leg, severe concussion, malnutrition, dehydration, suspected drug reliance, and several cuts and bruises."
"Will he live?" Sherlock's voice was barely a whisper.
The doctor smiled, "Dr. Watson should make a full recovery."
#40: Attention
Sherlock had never really felt drawn to anything. Nothing in his life had kept his attention for more than a few weeks. Nothing until John Watson.
