Present Day
John sat up in bed; With the exception of the night Sherlock was rescued from Ayyad, he usually did not have trouble sleeping.
At least not in a year or so since his own set of night terrors about the war had stopped.
John exhaled deeply and dry wiped his eyes. He had a dream but could not remember what it was. It retreated when he woke. Almost, like the edges of a shadow retreats when the rising sun shines on it.
At least it was not a nightmare John acknowledged gratefully.
It was probably just his body trying to process all the current drama that had occurred recently in both his life and especially Sherlock's.
John made a decision that he would have tea.
He would be careful to avoid the more stimulation ones or he would most certainly be up the remainder of the night. John sighed again but did not bother to put on his dressing coat or slippers.
John realized that his hair was standing on end, but it did not matter. Even Sherlock should be asleep at three fifty in the morning.
Even if he was not asleep, they were roommates. They had both seen each other with their hair sticking up in strange places before.
John stopped and froze.
He thought he heard something, whispered voices coming from Sherlock's room.
"Damn it," John whispered as he quickly and quietly made his way back to his room.
He was at Sherlock door with gun drawn, ready to come into Sherlock's room in a moment.
He put his hand on the doorknob, deciding if he should slam the door in quickly, or quietly opens and hope for surprise.
He heard it then, Sherlock whispering in an angry voice, "I… said… no."
Quiet, John decided.
