Sherlock grabbed the camera out of his coat pocket and set it on the table, ready to snap some incriminating pictures should Julian receive any visitors in his booth. He was still having trouble concentrating. He felt so aroused and was not accustomed to being in this state. He found himself wanting to touch John again, be near to him, he definitely wanted to kiss him again.
Sherlock turned back to John and their eyes locked, thoughts of the case in hand flying out of the proverbial window. He looked to John’s eyes, his lips and back up to his eyes again… he felt his pulse quicken once more, finding himself under the same scrutiny from his friend.
“Sherlock … I … er…” John attempted communication but seemed unable to say what he wanted to say.
Sherlock could understand that, he really didn’t know what to say either. They stared at each other awkwardly, not knowing how to proceed, until John broke the silence once more.
“Um… that was unexpected.”
“Yes” Sherlock replied simply.
John decided to make light of the situation. “You’re a lot better at kissing than you give yourself credit for you know.” He took a swig from his beer to stall the conversation.
“I really haven’t had much practice.” Sherlock replied softly. “It’s not really my area… kissing… sentiment.” He frowned as he said the last word. Sentiment certainly wasn’t something he indulged in, so what was he doing right now? All sentiment does is distract you from the case, the game. It leaves you vulnerable to other people’s emotions, makes you dependent on them. No, no, no… this wasn’t happening, this wasn’t something he would entertain.
Sherlock realised he was dangerously close to revealing his emotions to John and that would put him in a precarious situation… what if John didn’t feel the same way? Wait… what if he did? That last thought scared Sherlock. He’d never trusted anyone enough to become intimate with them.
He’d better get out of there.
Sherlock grabbed his coat and camera and stood abruptly, tying his blue scarf around his neck and made his way towards the door as quickly as he could, not daring to turn back and see the look on John’s face. He would be annoyed or hurt no doubt, but it was better this way.
John was half relieved and half hurt by his best friend’s actions. Relieved because he didn’t have to work out what he was going to say immediately. Hurt because the man he had just realised he had feelings for, was apparently so horrified by the kiss they had just shared that he felt the need to escape… at high speed.
The doctor cast his mind back to the last thing Sherlock said before he kissed him ‘Or is there a good reason all your dates leave you so quickly?’
John sighed sadly and stared at his drink… evidently there was.
