"Right, sorry," Sherlock whispers, spooning John and kissing the nape of his neck. "Apology accepted," John whispers back, snuggling into the embrace. And soon they're asleep again.

Johnlock what’s up chatting

(My role)

(p2) and then sherlock will set up a makeshift bed for john on the sofa, making it as warm and comfortable as possible so as not to aggravate john’s shoulder, and after john is settled under the covers, sherlock will make john a cup of tea, put on a romantic comedy, and sit with him for a little while, just to keep an eye on him and keep him company until he falls asleep.

John has always had an eating disorder, but has been able to keep his problem strictly his problem. He didn’t eat much when he was invalid and when he met Sherlock, it seemed to have gone away. But things changed when Sherlock died, and when he was back and everything seemed back to normal, it really wasn’t. John’s appetite never fully came back and he struggles more often finishing his dinner without Sherlock noticing. He’s nearly collapsed from exhaustion and low blood sugar one too many times on cases that John has left early to avoid Sherlock from finding out. 

Meanwhile, Sherlock knows something isn’t as it used to be, but hasn’t been able to fully figure it out. He knows John isn’t eating much, he just doesn’t know the extent of it. In the meantime though, he leaves prepared snacks at the table while he works, and successfully sees John taking one or two bites. But neither of them say anything. 

When they retire to Sussex, John makes sure there is a big enough yard for Sherlock’s bee hives. He visits the property first and cleans up the yard, trimming down weeds and making it doable for Sherlock. When they finally move in, John already finds Sherlock outside, admiring John’s work and preparing the hives. This is when John pulls out another surprise: proper attire for Sherlock when he’s outside - two sets of them. Sherlock’s overjoyed that John finally can join him in their big yard. :)
