The television is on, the sound turned low - just the exact volume for it to be a comfortable, comforting background noise - and Sherlock is concentrating on the email he’s writing to a potential client, but he still registers the soft sounds of the front door opening and closing. His fingers freeze on the keyboard. Mrs Hudson is at home, he knows. The only other person, apart from himself, who still has keys is John. It’s nearing midnight. John never comes so late, unless there is a case and Sherlock called him. There is only one possible explanation: something’s wrong

Oh. Sherlock remembers the times in the last few weeks (months?) when Mary deliberately avoided him. Suddenly remembered a prior engagement and ran off. He didn’t really notice it - he and Mary aren’t exactly the best of friends and they only get along because of John, so Sherlock really didn’t mind when instead of dining with John and Mary, he only dined with John. He preferred it that way (he wished it could always be that way). He didn’t care about why Mary wasn’t there if it meant he had John for himself (had the illusion of having John to himself). Mary had a reason for avoiding him, though, that was clear now: she was afraid that what John missed, Sherlock would notice

Heartbreaking, but beautiful. I am intrigued and will be waiting for the next part right here with my tent. I love Sherlock's awkwardness, but his desire to help.

Sherlock remains on the sofa, listening to John moving about upstairs, and despises himself for finding the sounds so comforting. It’s really only the little signs of John’s presence that make Baker Street feel like home, despite the fact that John has lived elsewhere for more than a year. (Sherlock only ever turns the TV on because it reminds him of when John still lived here, because he knows that John is watching the same show in his flat. He only cleans the kitchen because John liked it clean.) He cannot help it but like the fact that John is here. Maybe he’ll want to move back in again

He hears John getting up far earlier than he expected, it’s only half past five. John hasn’t slept well, or he hasn’t slept at all. Sherlock moves to the kitchen and makes another cup of tea. Then he realises that after a sleepless night John might prefer coffee, so he makes that too. He’ll drink whatever John doesn’t want. He doesn’t have any bread that isn’t mouldy, but he finds a box of cereal that John likes, and sets it on the table next to the two cups

‘Give your friend a hug,’ is one of the recommendations for socially inept teenagers Sherlock read online. He and John don’t usually hug. They touch a lot, certainly more then is common for standard British male friendships, but they don’t hug unless one of them has just escaped mortal danger. Close human contact is meant to make people feel safe. John is not in danger now, but maybe it’s time to break with tradition

D: Oh my God poor EVERYONE. Except Mary, of course. She can go die in a hole for hurting my lovely John. My poor, heartbroken John. <3 And poor Sherlock, absolutely desperate to help his friend. On the one hand, he's so smart he can use his deductive powers to tell when John wants to talk, and on the other he's so clueless he has to turn to Google for advise. Bless him. This is lovely and I can't wait for more. :)
