Day 22: Side by Side in Battle
"John hurry up! We're losing them!" Sherlock yelled to john who had fallen greatly behind him. Determined to keep up John pushed harder matching Sherlock's pace. They rounded the corner to see the two men standing in the middle if the ally. Not running, not trying to get away just standing. Sherlock immediately stopped and put his hand out to stop John too. John nearly falling at the sudden change looked at Sherlock curiously.
"There's something wrong John. We need to get out of here, now." They both turned around and were face to face with three other men. They turned back around the other way and the two men started walking towards them. They were surrounded and outnumbered. Sherlock looked at John, John understanding the predicament they were in, nodded. He was ready to fight.
The men came after John and Sherlock all at once. Sherlock was almost graceful when he was fighting, quick moves, and calculated dodges. John was a bit out of practice but could still hold his ground. John glanced to his side for a moment to check on Sherlock, when he felt a sharp pain and fell to the ground. The last thing he remembered was hearing his name being called, and then everything went black.
John blinked eyes slowly opening them and was met with a bright light. He looked around and noticed Sherlock was sitting by his bed in a chair and was holding his hand. 'What happened?' he thought. He slowly started remembering, the fight. "God how long was I out?" He mumbled. Sherlock began to stir lifting his head up. John let out a slight gasp as soon as Sherlock looked at him. Sherlock had a black eye, and a cut down the side of his face. "Sherlock are you alright?" John questioned.
Sherlock smiled still holding Johns hand, "Well of course I'm alright, obviously. I should be asking you the same though, you are the one in a hospital." John smiled looking around. "Well I suppose I am huh?" He laughed, before his face grew serious. "Sherlock. What happened after I was knocked out?" He questioned.
"Well, it was quite harder fighting with you knocked out by my feet, but I at least managed to not get myself killed before Lestrade showed up, and then we took you to the hospital." Sherlock replied. "Oh and you've been out for 3 and a half days." he added. John paused for a second before replying. "Thank you Sherlock, really." he said looking down. Sherlock was stunned for a second, John was thanking him for saving him? It was Sherlock's fault in the first place they were in the situation.
"John no, its alright, I should have known, it was my fault we got into that fight." John looked up at Sherlock and grinned softly, gripping Sherlock's hand tighter. Sherlock had completely forgotten he had grabbed John's hand and began blushing deeply. "Its not your fault Sherlock, you couldn't have known." John said. Sherlock stood up quickly " I should have. Anyways, I'll go check you out John. Lets go home."
