tired

John reaching for Sherlock in his sleep, throwing a leg over Sherlock’s, grinding his teeth, wrapping his arms around Sherlock’s narrow waist, pulling him back, tight against his chest, Sherlock waking up gasping for air, whispering i’m here, i’m here, i’m safe, we’re in bed, John, i’m not falling, I’m here, and John growling under his breath, right here with me, never letting go again, try to leave again, over my dead body.

See? That smile? Sherlock stops in the middle of his showing off and goes see John. According to Lestrade’s surprised face at first, this is something that’s never happened before. Sherlock misses the opportunity to find a murderer to protect the man he just met, pretends he’s in shock and goes talk with that man. This doesn’t look like a logical reaction. It looks like a human reaction. Caused by emotions… Shock? Really??

“What I loved about this scene is that you told BC that junkies in withdrawal cannot eat, but since the book calls for this to happen, he actually re-wrote some of the script to accommodate this reality, making the claim that most junkies can’t eat, but Patrick Melrose can. ”- Cheryl White (drug advisor)
