John is mostly teasing Sherlock about the bullet wound near the end of it. He enjoys finding the excuse to tuck in close to Sherlock or snuggle. It's all very cozy.

However, he's starting to get a bit suspicious of Sherlock digging through his things. At first it was funny, then oddly endearing, and now just ... Odd. John's not sure what the reason is.

So he raises his eyebrows when he sees Sherlock in the closet, digging through things left over from John and Harry cleaning out their parents' home years ago.

"Sherlock."

"You played rugby?" Sherlock is sitting back on his heels, looking through photographs that don't belong to him and whose context he has no idea how to explain exactly.

He glances up at John before going in again to pull out another stack of things. Books this time.

"And why do you have such outdated medical books?" He's no closer to figuring any of this out, he's just making it more difficult for himself.

"Yes, I was an eighth man during school and played hook for my uni's rugby club."

John frowns and sips his tea as he sits on the bed to watch.

"I paid good money for those books and no one would buy them back once new editions came out. I don't know, it's nostalgic. Sherlock, what are you doing?"

New information about John is downloaded, memorized, and recorded for later. He sets the books aside at once and is just about to gather more material for his research when John asks him a question he's not willing to answer. "You went through my things. I'm looking through yours," he says.
