“It could be easily argued that I know you better than anyone else does. I am currently the only person you talk to on a regular basis, including your family, and I think you have come to understand me quite well in turn, which is more than can be said for most people.”
John stared at him. He wasn’t laughing. He didn’t look like he was expecting John to laugh.
“That’s your argument?” he said.
“You must admit that-“
“I’ve been dating people!” he snapped. “Women, Sherlock!”
John finds out that Sherlock has assumed for a while that their relationship was romantic, and feels like maybe he should have been notified about that.

Quickrec: It’s always tricky to write about these two exposing their emotions to each other, but I thought this one did a good job.
