Bounding though the streets John had never ran as fast in life, he couldn't even feel the pain in his leg any more The task at hand was distracting him. Rushing past people not caring what they were shouting at him, John sprinted towards Baker Street. It was the adrenaline that carried him those last few streets. He came to dead halt in front of the black shiny 221 Baker Street door.

Should he knock? Knocking is too time consuming. John twisted the brass handle to enter the building, he slammed the door behind him as he quickly jogged up those seventeen steps to the 221b. Bursting though the wooden door he found Sherlock hunched over, left sleeve pulled up with a brown belt wrapped around the top of his arm. Needle just about to puncture the vein. John rushed forward, pulling the needle from Sherlock's slim fingers. Sherlock didn't even put up a fight. John emptied the contents of the vital down the sink. He slowly turned to face Sherlock. God the man was a mess. He was dirty, unshaven and looked even skinnier. John felt a rip of guilt go straight through him.

"You promised me that you wouldn't ever do something like this again" murmured John, carefully approaching Sherlock who was still crumbled on the floor.

Sherlock simply grunted in response.

Deciding that this man needed to be taken care of and cleaned before declarations of love could be made, John hauled Sherlock up from the floor. He carried him to the bathroom and set him down on top of the closed toilet. John proceeded to turn the bath taps on creating both the right amount of warm in the water. He added a small drop of bubble liquid, while being watched by a still silent Sherlock. John then striped the other man with no objections. He then cradled Sherlock as he picked him up to place him in the bath. Sherlock just lay there spaced out. John cleaned the dirty from his body. He mentally winced every time he ran the flannel over the extreme bony parts of Sherlock's body as he knew he was to blame for this. He shaved the unkempt beard with military precision that Sherlock had grown out of laziness. Sherlock sat as John shampooed and conditioned his curly dark hair. Washing the remainder of the bubbles from Sherlock's hair, John pulled from him from the bath to dry him off. Realising that he hadn't a towel with him, John left Sherlock in the bathroom in search of one. Sherlock took this moment to look at himself in the mirror and quickly brush his teeth. Normality was quickly returning to Sherlock's body. He had no idea what had happened. It was like he was trapped in his mind almost like a type of cataplexy. John returned swiftly to wrap the material around Sherlock's body.

"Thank you, John" muttered Sherlock, avoiding eye contact with John.

John lead him into Sherlock's bedroom to sit him down on the bed. He then looked though Sherlock's drawers looking for clothes. He pulled out what looked like nightwear and helped the detective dress.

"You stay here and I'll get you some food" whispered John. Sherlock nodded as a response. As John left in search of food, Sherlock crawled under his covers and let his eyes drift close.

John returned that Sherlock had fallen asleep. The man was psychically shattered and exhausted. John took this quietness as a chance to plan what he was going to say to Sherlock when he woke up. Both men obviously had a lot to talk about with each other. John sat on the edge of the bed as he watched over Sherlock sleeping peaceful letting himself daydream.

Sherlock shifted under the covers, stretching out his long legs and arms. John gazed at Sherlock as he slowly started coming around from his nap. Sherlock glanced round the room trying to remember how he got there. His eyes settled on John.

"I guess we need to talk?" mumbled Sherlock. Sherlock could be so difficult at times, John gently smiled at this thought.

"We don't have to right now" John replied.

"I'd rather we do it now so you don't feel compelled to stay here" voiced Sherlock.

That stupid man! Once again Sherlock was totally wrong, John wasn't going to leave him without being told to.

"Sherlock I think it's obvious that we need each other in some twisted kind of way" stated John directly. Sherlock couldn't argue, John was completely right.

Sherlock wasn't one to give into emotions but in this situation maybe he could.

"John may I kiss you?" whispered Sherlock shyly.

John nodded just as Sherlock pulled himself up from the bed to step towards John. John rose and stood up straight to face the other man. John took Sherlock's face between his hands, rubbing the tips of his fingers across Sherlock's hair line. John leaned forward to brush his lips across Sherlock's. The small kiss was electrifying. Deepening the kiss Sherlock pushed as much of his body as he could against John moaning as John entwined his fingers in his curls. John dragged Sherlock back to bed tugging the covers back over the both of them. John cuddled Sherlock as he rubbed small circles into his back.

"John I think I may of fallen in love with you" declared Sherlock as he kissed John's neck.

"I'll be taking the rest of my ads down tomorrow, I'll have to find a prober job but I won't be a prostitute any more" replied John watching Sherlock intently.

"Good because I shan't be sharing you with anyone" chuckled Sherlock as he attacked John's neck with love bites.

"Before we go any further is there any thing else you want to tell me?" asked John hoping that there would be any more nasty surprises for the both of them in the future. Sherlock rolled over to face John.

"Well there is one thing. The first prostitute I used is now kind of obsessed with me. His name is Jim Moriarty and he will probably try and kill you" professed Sherlock to a slightly astonished John Watson.

In this moment curled up tightly with Sherlock in a warm bed nothing else mattered.
