And yeah, mental confusion/apathy/disorientation are some of the key symptoms of really serious hypothermia; it's not uncommon for people in the late stages of it to actually REMOVE their clothes before they die, presumably because they are so confused that they believe they are overheating rather than freezing to death. Weird, right?
OP - Jesus, that's frightening :/ But very interesting! Interesting enough that I feel only just a bit of guilt for wondering what Hypothermic!Delerius!Sherlock would be like and how John would cope with that...
There are moments when John hates Sherlock. The man is a menace to himself and everyone around him. Idiot. Bloody stupid fucking idiot! John already knew that Sherlock is mad enough to follow a car by foot, but jumping into the North Sea to get on a departing ship reaches new levels of insanity. It's March, it's dark and the water is bloody freezing
( ... )
He searches all the cupboards he can find, but there aren't more blankets. No hot water bottles either. John returns to Sherlock with a towel and wraps it around his wet hair. Then he sits besides him on the edge of the bed and starts rubbing his back through the blanket
( ... )
Sherlock's asexual so it doesn't lead to sexytiems.
Incidentally, did you know you could be delirious with Hypothermia?

Then he kisses John's shoulder, just once, firm, a swift press of closed lips. As close to an apology as Sherlock will ever get.
Wonderful. Thank you.
