I have this head canon I can\u2019t shake, of Sherlock and John living together for a few months after John\u2019s left Mary, or she\u2019s dead, whatever, I don\u2019t care about her\u2026and they aren\u2019t together yet, John\u2019s still sleeping in his old bedroom, and they\u2019re still having a lot of like fundamental understandings about who the other one is, and one morning, John comes downstairs to Sherlock in his pyjamas all curled on the sofa binge watching The Great British Bakeoff and eating Nutella out of the jar and John\u2019s like \u201cWhat the hell are you doing?\u201d And Sherlock just kind of shrugs and offers John the jar of Nutella, and John laughs kind of perplexed, but he sits down next to him and they end up spending the entire day eating junk and yelling at the bakers and cringing every time someone screws up and Sherlock ends up admitting he\u2019s got a total crush on one of them, and they\u2019ve never ever spent a whole day like this, just being friends, no case, no drama, no adventure, no lying wife, just them. Together.<\/p>\n

And it finally dawns on John as he\u2019s watching Sherlock animatedly bemoan someone\u2019s runny treacle tart as he licks the back of a Nutella covered spoon, that Sherlock is so human, so soft and real and full of emotion, and everything changes for him, in that one small, seemingly inconsequential moment. Because that\u2019s how life happens, you know, not in these huge heart pounding monumental moments, but in these tiny moments that you never see coming.<\/p>\n

And Sherlock feels John watching him, and turns and says \u201cWhat, John?\u201d with Nutella on his mouth, and his curls all messy and unbrushed, and everything John\u2019s been holding back all these years just comes out and he leans in and kisses Sherlock so softly and gently. And Sherlock just makes this small surprised noise, but recovers quickly and kisses John back, and when John pulls away, they\u2019re both smiling at each other so tenderly and Sherlock\u2019s like, \u201cI estimated 5 hours and it only took you 4. You always surprise me, John Watson.\u201d<\/p>\n

And John\u2019s like \u201cYou little shit, this was all a trap.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Sherlock says, \u201cWorked though, didn\u2019t it?\u201d And grins and sticks the spoon in his mouth, and John just pushes him back into the sofa and that\u2019s the end of the telly and the Nutella and the clothing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
