Sounds familiar?

Like again...after all these years. The only difference is that he doesn't have food to put into his mouth this time, and his female co-star sitting next to him is named Olivia instead of Tilda.

Martin Freeman attends the London Premiere of "Dragonfly" at the Picturehouse Central in London.

Poco a poco ♥️ (X)

A fan met Martin last night in London's West End.

So really my first ever Tumblr post (hi there everyone 👋).

Somewhere on the way between Sherlock, Johnlock and co I stumbled and fell deep into the Freebatch well and now I'm seriously stuck down here (but I love it tbh 🙃).

I'm currently going through the stages of denial, reconsideration and pure bliss, whenever my doubts are being proven wrong by these two lovely dorks.

The excerpt above from Setlock S3 is taken from the video including the famous interaction between MF and BC being ridiculously cute together (Martin fondling invisible dirt from Ben's collar and then both of them being all lovey dovey with each other at the front door of 221b - you know what I mean...)

This scene however happens shortly before and since I haven't seen anyone ever mentioning it, I wanted to share my observation:

While taking off his coat Ben is heading towards Martin, whose arm and hand are stretched out in his direction. Getting closer Martin is fiddling with his fingers seemingly gesturing to Ben. For me it almost looks like he's initiating this move to get him to hold his hand...

Then their fingers actually touch for a brief moment and while Ben is gently slapping Martin's hand away also mouthing something to him, Martin is pulling back his hand as if he had burned it on a hot plate (aka Ben's skin *cough*).

He then puts his finger to his nose in an almost embarrassed kind of way. Meanwhile Ben is walking past by and stopping in front of Martin to almost provocatively fanning himself air with his shirt.

Now, I don't know if anyone else sees this the way I do, but for me there's so much (sexual) tension happening between them in those few seconds, that whenever I'm doubting whether Freebatch is real or not, it brings me back on track and makes me a believer.

Especially considering the scenes happening merely after, as I've already mentioned above.

I love Martin's smile here 🧡
