Return to Me [ Joan H. Watson and Sherlock-Alexander-Holmes

"No... I'm kidding... YES! I love you. I don't just go around saying I love you to every bloke and woman who comes my way. Don't you get that?" Sherlock said. He smiled shyly, hid a blush, then put on his unemotional mask.

"I get it." Joan pursed her lips but couldn't help but smile a moment later, "I love you too."

"I'm.... Really? You do? That's... Right good." Sherlock pursed his lips and stood at ease and pulled on his robe, realising he had only boxers on. "Don't know why I'm not wearing any trousers, Joan."

[ Didn't sherlock have on pajamas but then how is he only in his boxers? ]

Joan looked away, only looking back for a brief glance, "You wanted to take off your clothes for some reason, not sure." She shrugged.

[see... I screw details up alot... *sulks and Facepalms my desk*]

Sherlock smiled. "Brilliant deduction. I'm proud." He chuckled and layed on the couch and positively scoffed. "You still haven't hit me."

[No worries, I just wanted to check and make sure! ]

Joan shook her head, "I'm not going to hit you now." She told Sherlock firmly, giving him a pointed look, "I'll forgive for now, but on my own terms." She chuckled lightly, "Is there anything else you want to talk about, you know, since you left did anything interesting happen?"

"/Did/ anything happen?" Sherlock rushed

"With me? N-no, did anything happen with you?" Joan asked.

"Just ruefully beaten for almost four years is all." Sherlock chuckles sullenly.

"Lots and lots of beatings, being tied up, starving, all that stuff. Plus I have folowed you to be sure you stayed safe." He smiled.

(Ello?)

[sorry, this is late ]

"You followed me?" Joan asked curiously.

"Everywhere." Sherlock picked up his violin and looked at her curiously.

Sherlock furiously pace the room. He mumbled words that made no sense and looked over at Joan every once in a while. "I don't see a problem with what I did for you." His eyes glued to the floor and he looked awkwardly an let himself slump against the wall.
