The most shocking day of Greg's life started with a simple text
Hi mate you want to meet for a pint later today? -JW
Now the text itself wasn't very shocking, although he and John have met less since "the fall", in the name that became publicly known, they still met for pint every once in a while. Greg considered for a minute and decided to go, it's been too long since they went out together. He quickly replied and went on with filling the paper work he started earlier.
oOo
A few hours later after Greg finally finished with work he decided to text John checking if he wants to meet a little earlier than planned, and to head to the pub anyway, he arrived at the pub after a few minutes of walking and just as he sat down he received a text from John:
No problem, oh and try not to punch him would you? - JW
Greg read the text, confused as for the meaning of it, try not to punch who? Just as the thought crossed his mind, a figure he didn't notice coming closer said: "he meant me." Greg froze at the voice, a voice he hasn't heard in three years, and didn't think he'd ever hear again. He slowly looked up, his eyes confirming what he already knew, as he stared into the blue eyes of one very much alive Sherlock Holmes. It took everything Greg had not to punch the man in front of him and even then only the memory of John's text stopped him from killing Sherlock himself. Honestly, John was half the reason he wanted to punch the man, sure he took it hard, but not nearly as hard as John, who he thought might follow his friend at certain points of time. All this passed through Greg's mind in the short few seconds it took to give up on the punch, so instead he only asked "why? Why put us all through it all? Especially John, do you even know how hard he took it?" Greg almost regretted the last part after seeing Sherlock's face flicker with pain and regret, almost. "Yes, I know, and I wouldn't have done if I didn't have to. Moriarty threatened the three of you. John, Mrs. Hudson and you were going to die if I didn't jump, so I had to, you're the only friends I have, I couldn't let you get hurt" his words along with the sincerity in his voice and face touched Greg more the he thought they would, he decided he didn't need any farther explanation, Sherlock had a good enough reason to jump, and he came back, that's all that matters. "alright then, now why don't you invite John over, I was actually expecting that drink"
"I do have something else to tell you, and I think John better be here for that discussion" what can he be talking about? Greg decided he won't try and guess, he'll just let the evening roll as it will, after all he couldn't get too shocked after what he just found out right? That was where he was wrong.
"Text him then" Greg said "and until he comes, you can tell me who you were pissing off for the past three years."
oOo
John's mobile rang with the long awaited text:
He took it surprisingly well, I think you'd be welcome here. Now let's shock him some more - SH
John chuckled quietly, he felt rather bad for Greg, shocking him like that, but if he reacted well to Sherlock's sudden "resurrection" than how bad can it be? He waited outside the pub a little longer so Greg won't understand he was waiting there the whole time and then headed in. He walked into the pub and looked for the pair until he saw Greg waving at him. He started walking over and contemplated how badly he should shock Greg. He decided to go all the way and as soon as he arrived at the booth where they were both sitting he pulled Sherlock by the collar into a kiss. Sherlock of course reacted with enthusiasm and wrapped his hands around John's waist without a thought. The kiss lasted for about a second longer until John saw Greg's shocked face from the corner of his eye and broke the kiss laughing. Sherlock quickly joined him and they both laughed for a few minutes straight with Greg's expression fueling the laughter, when they finally calmed down enough to talk Sherlock said ×´like I said we have something else to tell you" which resulted in another fit of giggles. "Um I'll take that you two are dating now?"
Greg sounded surprisingly calm for the situation. "Yes, yes we are" John said as calmly as he could and took Sherlock's hand in his. "Well thank god, it was about time!" Greg exclaimed causing another fit of giggles.
