Chapter five

Sherlock stood silently at John waiting for him to say something.

"John?" he quietly whispered, moving forward slowly but john held his hands up, backing away from him.

"NO, NO, YOU DO NOT GET TO JUST COME IN AND SAY JOHN!" Sherlock was lost. John suddenly realized something,

"Sherlock can you see me?"

"I can see some detail but not fully"

"Then how have you taken cases?"

"With great difficulty"

"How did you survive?" Sherlock slowly made his way to the couch and sat down looking pleadingly up at John. John joined him sitting on the other side.

"When I burned the arsenic I have already ingested a plant from Turkey that slows your heart rate, the arsenic was no where near toxic levels"

John was speechless.

"But..but..why Sherlock? Why?" Sherlock said nothing but in a move that shocked John, wrapped his arms around him.

"Because I had to. You remember Moriarty"

"Yes" how could I forget?

"Well his right hand man, Sebastian Moran vowed revenge. I knew he was after me as soon as Moriarty died so to protect you and so I could hunt him I faked my death"

"So you have been hunting an associate of Moriarty's without full vision?"

"I had help from Mycroft"

"Of course"

Sherlock was silent.

"John I'm sorry" John wrapped an arm around Sherlock who leaned into it, John felt his heart break, how long had it been since Sherlock had experienced a friendly anything? They stayed like that, eventually Sherlock passed out, John adjusted them and joined him in sleep on the couch.

A/N OKAY THIS SHORT I KNOW BUT I WILL UPDATE AT SOME POINT I PROMISE! HOPE YOU ENJOYED THAT!
