Sherlock lay awake, watching John sleep on his side. He looked almost boyish, lines of worry and stress smoothed out and softened by the moons soft light. One small hand lay curled on the pillow, forming a loose fist. The other hand was tucked under his chin, lost in shadows. His white t-shirt rode up, exposing the soft stomach.<\/p>\n
Greg watched Mycroft sleep. It wasn\u2019t unusual for the man to show up on his doorstep late at night. More often than not Greg was awake watching late night telly.
