6 months after I moved in with Sherlock, I was coming in from a walk in the rain and started to my room to change into a dry shirt before I made myself a cuppa.
I opened the door to my room to find Sherlock sitting cross-legged on the floor. A box of old army stuff pulled from the closet, surrounded by clothes in had dislodged. He was flipping though one of my sketch books; looking at each drawing intently, gently tracing a finger down a line. There was something akin to awe on his face, wonder, like he was looking unto something extremely precious.
At least that's how I would describe it were it not Sherlock's face.
I walked almost silently, (the sight of my old stuff dredged up past habits), to where Sherlock was sitting, looking down over his shoulder to the picture he was tracing.
It was of two close army buddies, Jake and Aiden. Aiden was giving Jake a kiss on the cheek and Jake was smiling like everything was perfect in the world, the background was faded, purposefully blurry. If you look close enough you can see it filled with guns, tanks, blood and gore. I smiled down at it, remembering days vividly.
"That took hours," I commented.
He looked up at me and I saw a glimmer of respect in his eyes before it was quickly covered.
"I didn't know you drew." He replied.
"I don't anymore. I only did it to pass the time."
We both looked down at the drawing.
"They're married now, you know."
Sherlock hummed acknowledgement. Careful not to rip the page he tore it out and handed it to me.
"This is extremely good. You should continue."
I shrugged noncommittally. But the next morning on my pillow I found a new sketch book and the lingering scent of Sherlock.
I can't stop my johnlock heart! i would say I'm sorry but I'm really not.
Sorry, I know I said update every day but I can't seem to make it to the computer on weekend. I'm just super busy. So update every day except weekend and Wednesdays. (because I also can't get to a computer on Wednesdays.) But every other day I swear!
Expect I'm running low on ideas so I need prompts! Anybody reading this, even if you don't like it, just a quick one? One word? Anything? Can you tell I'm desperate?
So yeah, now that that's outa the way thanks for reading and the next one will be up tomorrow.
