Sherlock and John are already in a relationship when John gets deployed to Afghanistan

So, there have been a lot of AU stories and a lot of playing around with Sherlock's and John's timeline. There have been some that dealt specifically with them meeting each other earlier than in the show and some that goes all the way back to them meeting as children. What never gets touched on, however, is what the two of them would have been like if they had met earlier and had to deal with the separation that John's chosen career would have forced on them.
Writer-anons, please show us how they would both have reacted to John's time-consuming commitments and inevitable deployment to Afghanistan. Sexytimes may be applied as needed.

A/N: this is the first section, I'll finish with the rest soon.
John’s bag sat by the door to Sherlock’s flat. Sherlock kept looking at it as if it were possessed, or carried some bad energy. Not that he would ever believe something so nonsensical, but when it came to John’s bag it might actually be true.
“You need to get a job,” John smiled.
“Of course I won’t, what a boring idea.” Sherlock was in his usual chair not looking at John.
“You’ll be bored if you don’t. You could take that job Mycroft offered.”
“And work for him? I think not.” Sherlock was looking at the scull on the table, still refusing to meet John’s eyes

This is heartbreaking indeed. (Although since they started out using yahoo and yahoo emails are universally flagged as spam by my ISP, the thought that all Sherlock's emails had landed in John's spam-trap crossed my mind and I had to lol)

That would be so horrible! I had this happen (thankfully not with something as important) and now I religiously check my spam folders too. Though that would seem to be redundant, LOL.

First of all, let me just tell you that I literally squeed (is that even a word? lol) with glee when I saw that this had been filled. This is absolutely fantastic! And my heart got progressively more achey as I read Sherlock's messages. Oh my God, what could have happened? Poor Sherlock. I love that you've made him so devoted and literally unable to erase John from his life. Oh, let's hope John has a good explanation for it all. I'm in love with this, dear author. Thank you very much! Will now be checking obsessively for updates.
P.S. Sorry for the late response. RL has been impossibly hectic since the start of the new year and this was the first chance I had to get on the computer.

Mycroft wont let me, stopped me from getting on three boats, six trains, and four flights.
Sometimes I think you’re working with him, but then you’d have to TALK and apparently you cannot do that anymore.
I hate you both.

You’ve made this the loneliest day of the year.
If I never met you I’d never have to feel this.
I wish you were never born.

I have your picture, but I’m forgetting your smile. It doesn’t seem quite right in the photo and I don’t know why.

I don’t feel right in my own skin. I don’t know why, so I’ll just blame you.

Have you fallen in love with some woman? Is that why you don’t have the guts to ANSWER ME?
Or maybe it was a man. I know you said you don’t like men, only me, but I’m sure that’s a lie just like everything else you’ve ever said.

Did you ever love me?
I love you. Still.
I’ll always hate you for that.
