Thank you xDarkLightx, ValeryaPotter, Lady of the Shards and 666Neme666 for reviewing and everyone else who followed.

Timeline: Ironically enough, this would take place before "A Study in Pink".

Warning: Mention of suicide and suicidal thoughts.


"Ever thought about the relief death might bring?" Harry asked, looking at Sherlock through his eye lashes from his place against Sherlock's chest.

Sherlock's fingers that were playing with Harry's hair paused as he contemplated the question. "I think about it... I think about it whenever I get confused and bewildered look, ranging from 'are you talking English' to 'I pity you'. I think of how good it would be never having to deal with these normal, ordinary and utterly boring people again."

Shifting around till he is leaning against his hand, Harry looked directly at Sherlock, "But you won't do it. You are far too proud and confidant to end this," Harry gestured with his hand, "as means of escape." He finished with a smile, leaning over a bit to place a kiss on his forehead.

Sherlock reached up and tangled his fingers through Harry's hair and pulled him in for a proper kiss, all the while thinking of what would he do should an opportunity presents itself.
