I know you guys hate me for doing that, I'm sorry. I was just so tired!
Oh also, I just realized... Let's just say that Amy, River and Rory walked away from where the Doctor and Rose were and are now standing by the lift... Just hanging out. They're everywhere, kinda like the Greeks in Mama Mia. [=
Let's get right to it, shall we!?
"John..." Sherlock began, "You know I'm rarely ever speechless... But to hear those words from you, well it makes my mind screech to a halt." He closed his eyes, trying to find the words to explain what he was feeling.
"As you know, I've never been a sentimental person, and would even go so far as to say that besides my old dog red beard, I have never loved another creature. But it's becoming apparent to me that ever since you came limping into my life, I've found myself doing and saying a lot of things I wouldn't normally do. Things I never imagined I'd do.
"You say I turned your world upside down, but the truth is.. You changed mine. I'm not saying that this is going to be easy... I'm not going to do a 180 and ask you to marry me... I'm just saying that it is my honor to be your best friend as well... And I never thought someone would be able to put up with me the way you do. But now that I have you... No that's not right...
"Now that you're in my life, I'd like you to stay in it. If you would oblige, I'd very much like you to never leave. I don't think I could ever function properly without you again. Because truth is, you make me better. More importantly, you make me want to be better. I don't think you quite know the importance of the sincerity or the utter madness of what I'm about to say.
"But know that... When I say I love you, John Watson, I mean it. I will always mean it. Everyone knew, they always knew... That's why you almost got killed a handful of times... Because apparently the one deduction I always failed to make was about myself. I suppose I've loved you... Well since you forgot your cane and ran with me through the streets of London. I think that's when I realized that you and I were made for each other. Two men, who seek out danger, who push each other... Who ultimately, need each other."
Sherlock finished his speech, his eyes were closed the entire time. Upon opening them he saw that John had tears falling down his cheek.
"Is... That a good thing?" He asked, his pulse racing.
"Yes. Sherlock. It's a good thing." He smiled his most brilliant grin, causing Sherlock's stomach to flutter.
"Sentiment really is the strangest phenomena..." He began to say.
"Shut up." John laughed, wrapping his arms around his flatmate. Sherlock returned the embrace, burying his face in blonde and grey hair. His hands stroked lightly at the nape of John's neck. John pulled his face back and looked into the detective's eyes. They both leaned in and planted a short, sweet kiss on each others lips. Upon pulling back the detective kept his eyes closed. John laughed and Sherlock smiled, opening his eyes, they gazed at each other a moment longer before breaking apart.
"We should..." John cleared his throat, his cheeks flushing, "We should go check in on Rose and the Doctor." Sherlock nodded in agreement, still speechless.
"Well isn't that just adorable." Amy said, her, Rory and River were peeking around the corner.
"You owe me 10 quid." Rory said, "You thought it wasn't going to happen here."
"Once all your bets are settled, let's go meet up with the rest of the group, shall we?" River smiled, rounding the corner and following the two men.
Short one this time... Just wanted to give you guys some peace of mind knowing that Sherlock returned the sentiment.
