You Shield Me<\/a> –\u00a0John protecting Sherlock from thugs is nothing new. Neither is Sherlock protecting John from his nightmares.<\/p>\nteaser below the cut<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sherlock winced as the gun blast echoed in the space. He glanced over to see John had moved his gun to a different target. But the men were dropping weapons now, the wounded one holding his arm. Sherlock\u2019s phone was in his hand, already texting Lestrade. He couldn’t help but see the fear on their faces, the ice in John\u2019s eyes. They were amateurs: John was not.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook, man, we didn’t want any trouble,\u201d said one, keeping his hands up. John\u2019s gun never wavered.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police will be here shortly,\u201d said Sherlock, taking in the young man. Broken home, occasional drug use. Typical.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou all right, Sherlock?\u201d John\u2019s voice was as calm as if discussing a cup of tea.<\/p>\n
Sherlock stepped closer to him, barely brushed his hip with his hand. \u201cQuite all right.\u201d<\/p>\n
John\u2019s eyes flickered to Sherlock, tongue wetting his lips as he shifted his hold on the gun imperceptibly. Sherlock looked towards the door, small smile on his face. There was the sound of cars and he knew the police had arrived.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere are your thieves, Inspector,\u201d said Sherlock as Lestrade led the way inside. \u201cJohn shot one.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust a little,\u201d said John quickly. \u201cHe\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lestrade muttered about paperwork as John quickly slid his gun back into his jeans, covering it up with his jacket. Sherlock watched the action closely, never tired of it. More police were arriving now and they quickly slipped out the side door.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s get some dinner on the way home,\u201d said John as if he hadn’t just been staring down half a dozen armed men.<\/p>\n
Sherlock made a non-committed noise as they walked back towards the main road. He tugged John into an alley once they were far enough from the police cars and kissed him deeply. If it was up to him he\u2019d kiss John in front of the Queen and everyone, but he knew John would rather fewer people know about them. And contrary to John\u2019s belief he did listen. Sometimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
