[When one John Watson checks his mail today, there'll be a letter waiting for him, whose writing he may or may not recognize.

Dearest John,

I'm not very good at writing letters, but then again I would probably be even worse at this on the phone. And I'm too chicken to do it in person. I know that's my own fault and it won't look very good with everything else I'm about to say, but...it's the simple truth.

And speaking of the truth...well, I guess that's something we had trouble with, as a couple. Maybe we both loved our jobs a little bit more than each other, I don't know. But it's alright, really. I'm not mad anymore. I don't have a right to be. It was just as much my fault as anyone else's.

I'm not entirely sure why I'm writing this. I suppose I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. For everything. And that, if I'm going to put being truthful into habit, well...

I still love care about you

Brilliant!

[ To say that John was surprised by the letter from Molly would be an understatement. He was down right confused at seeing her name on the letter. Though, once he'd gone up to the flat and sat down and read it over at least four times he realized that it wasn't so confusing after all. He smiles a little at the letter before folding it up and putting it into his pocket.

The letter safely tucked away, John took off. He stopped off to get two cups of coffee, Molly's the way she likes it because he still remembers. He comes into Barts with a nervous energy about him. A few people glance his way and he's not sure if it's because he's here without Sherlock or the people sensing his nervousness. John doesn't dwell on it all that much , instead he hurries off to find Molly in her lab. He knocks once before opening the door. ]

Molly?

:D

[alldosillythngs]

[This is actually the most focused on her work Molly has ever been. She has to be, otherwise her mind will drift to thoughts of John and the letter - has he read it yet? Will he read it at all or just throw it away? Why couldn't she have found the nerve to tell him in person?

Staring at the microscope, she continues to try and hold those thoughts at bay, reaching to prepare a new slide. The knock on the door certainly makes her jump a little bit; she wasn't expecting any one else to run tests today.

And then the voice. She whips her head around, her long ponytail hitting her cheek as she stares at him.] J..John?

[How many thoughts rush through her head? How does she look? What's he doing here? God he looks good... What's he carrying?] ..Er, d-did you...get my letter?

Sorry this took so long. RL was chaos the last four days.

[hamishforaname]

[ John bites his lip and wonders if he made a mistake coming here. ]

Um...yes. I did. [ He nods and steps inside the room, letting the door swing shut. For a moment he just stands there with the two coffee cups in hand. ] I...I got us some coffee...if you've got a minute...

It's okay, been a bit hectic over here too

[alldosillythngs]

[She blinks, and it takes her a minute for the lightbulb to click on in her head. Soon, she's eagerly responding]

Oh! Oh, yes, of course! [She nods, hoping she wasn't coming off too cold or standoffish previously. She fumbles to tug her purple gloves off; the new slide can wait.] I've definitely got a minute for you.

Thanks.

[hamishforaname]

[ John smiles softly at her. He thinks she's rather cute right now actually. ]

Um...great. Here- [ He holds out the coffee. ]

:)

[alldosillythngs]

[She smiles, reaching to take the coffee from him, trying to ignore where her hand brushes his] Oh, thank you. [She's about to ask what it is, when she catches the smell of it and curiously takes a sip] Is this... it is!

..You remembered my coffee order.

[hamishforaname]

[ John tries to ignore it too. ] Welcome. [ He watches her for a moment as she realizes it's her order. Of course John remembers. ]

I may not be Sherlock Holmes but I can remember your order. [ And just about all her other favorite things. ]

[alldosillythngs]

[She smiles slowly. It's only coffee. She shouldn't be so touched by such a trivial thing. But...the fact that it IS trivial to most people is what makes it so important to her.] Sherlock would never pay attention to what I drink. He wouldn't have any use for it.

[She chuckles a little, putting on her best Sherlock imitation] 'Molly, when in the course of human history has knowing soy versus low-fat milk or how much sugar you want in your coffee ever contributed to anything intellectual? We have more important things to attend to.'

[A sheepish smile, then another sip of her coffee warms her body. This is nice. To be able to talk to John again. Maybe that's all it will end up being, just talk, but...she'd rather have him as a friend than nothing at all]

[hamishforaname]

[ John smiles back at her. John is good at remembering the little things because he knows it does make a difference. ] I thought the same things until he surprised me. He knows how I prefer my coffee and tea.

[ He grins at her imitation. ] That's a pretty good impression of him. You could do it for a living.

[ John smiles and enjoys being with Molly. ]

[alldosillythngs]

Well, you are his best mate. He's got a use for you. [She's teasing him slightly. She knows Sherlock, in his own strange way, cares about John more than he'll ever admit.]

D'you really think? People would probably pay me to stop. No one needs two Sherlocks.

[She laughs and ducks her head a little, sneaking a glance at John like she used to back when they flirted. She's not quite doing it on purpose, it's an old habit, really.]

...I've missed you, you know.

[hamishforaname]

True as that may be, Sherlock has his own strange way about him and you never know if and how much he cares about you. [ John shrugs. He learned how much Sherlock cares about him in odd strides. ]

Oh yes. You could make a good living off of that.

[ He grins, playing with his coffee cup for a few minutes. ]

...I know. I've missed you too, Molly.

[alldosillythngs]

[She lifts her head, looking at him directly, and her voice teetering on hopeful] Yeah?

[She's tempted to ask exactly how much he's missed her, but she doesn't have the nerve for that. Nervously rubbing her thumb against her coffee cup, she opts for a different question] So, what do we about it?

[hamishforaname]

[ He nods. ] Yeah...

[ Awkwardly he plays with the lid to his coffee. He's not sure what he should be doing right now or how to answer her question. ] I don't know...

[alldosillythngs]

Do you....Do you think we should do something about it? I mean... you read my letter. I meant what I said. I know I made some mistakes and blamed them on you and I'm so sorry for that...

These last few weeks have been....awful. Not talking to you, hardly seeing you. And I've, I've had all these things in my head that I want to say, and that's why I wrote you and...

..And now I'm rambling.

[hamishforaname]

I've no idea...I liked your letter. And...I also made some mistakes in our relationship, and I'm sorry for that, Molly.

[ He nods. ] ...I know what you mean. I didn't like it either but...I don't know what to do.
