John comes downstairs only minutes later. He must have heard Sherlock leave, because he doesn’t search for him, already sure he is alone in the flat. He shuffles into the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee, in desperate need of a pick-me-up, judging by the amount of yawning going on right now.
He looks wrecked. The circles under his eyes have grown bolder, almost as dark as the coffee trickling into the pot behind him. It’s a good thing it’s Sunday.
While he waits, he spots the note from Sherlock on the kitchen table. He gives it a quick once over, nods his head and stares off into space. Biting his lip in contemplation, his fingers start to absentmindedly fiddle around with the small piece of paper.
I bet he is going over their little moment in the kitchen. He doesn’t seem upset, though. Just...thoughtful.
A few weeks back, when John tried to push for more between them, Sherlock was the one who ran off like the daft git he tends to be when it comes to emotions. So John relented. He pulled the breaks, hard stop, and has been trying his best to maintain a safe distance between them. Close, but not too close. Comfortable, but not intimate.
I’d say he succeeded only in parts, because even though there have been less touches and long looks from his side, there is simply no going back once you open yourself up to someone. Especially when that someone has somehow managed to wriggle his way into every aspect of your life. Living together, working together, spending most of their free time with each other. If it wasn’t for John’s job at the surgery, they’d barely be apart at all.
I don’t think Sherlock did it by design, though. It’s more like it happened despite his best efforts. It took him by surprise and when he noticed, it was already too late. He tried to back paddle, of course. But when John actually listened and took a step back, Sherlock started to gravitate closer. Now he is the one who lingers, the one who keeps looking a beat too long or standing a step too close.
What was that famous quote by F. Scott Fitzgerald?
“They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered.”
Except, John doesn’t know that. By forcing himself to not look, to not touch, he has completely missed Sherlock doing the exact opposite. Probably thinks he is just projecting. Daft gits, the both of them. They really do deserve each other.
