    "Well then, you have to be a good boy then," he said with a grin, trying to be careful with the bandages, but knowing the he couldn't avoid hurting him completely. He settled to be as precise and quick as possible, at least that way it would be over quickly.
    He smiled satisfied when he was done.

    "There you are... I'll clean up your face now... we don't want scars on your beautiful face now, do we?" he muttered and poured some antiseptic on a ball of cotton. "Don't know if he'll survive my revenge first..." he mumbled under his breath, trying not to think about Jim at the moment, because he knew he would freak out otherwise.

    He looked down into Sherlock's eyes when he mentioned he was important as well.
    "Am I the last one?" he asked a bit teasing, a small smile on his lips.

    "You are good at hiding the fact that you think I am important..." he said sincerely, his fingers cleaning Sherlock's right cheek delicately, and then moving to the other one. "Especially considering what you said today..."

    After a few more painful grimaces Sherlock could finally feel his torso relax a bit more. The nudging pain in his side was still extant, though it felt a bit better now it was kept in place every time he breath.

    Once more he could feel his cheeks heating up. Beautiful face? Was John just joking around or did he actually meant what he said? Nevertheless, he had said it and Sherlock had felt something when he spoke those words so in some way it must meant something.

    "John. Look. What I said earlier... I meant it." He said quietly. "But I also understand it was wrong." It was something for Sherlock to admit he had done something wrong. It even was something that he actually did something wrong. "I know expressing myself isn't my best feature but..AWCH. BE CAREFUL JOHN!" He snapped at the end as the cotton came in contact with his bruised skin.

    John frowned at the words, he wanted to protest, but he was taken aback by the clumsy apology that came after. It wasn't fair though, it really wasn't. "You meant to say that I begged you for sex like some sort of whore?" he snapped, the words still burning in his mind, even though what Sherlock was saying.

    His hand froze on the other's face when the detective yelled, an eyebrow raising in disbelief. "Aren't you just a big baby?" he muttered, and took his hand a bit away, leaning closer to blow on the cut. "I am almost done, so try to man up, will you?" he teased him softly.

    Sherlock rolled his eyes, it hurts, John always jumped to conclusions that fast. "I was defending myself. You said I was using you for sex." He snapped. "And it's true. You begged me to fuck you before." He repeated once more. "What's wrong with that?" Sherlock didn't understood. John had always told him to open up about sex, that it's not a sin. And now suddenly he seemed to change his mind about it.

    He wanted to protest, to do anything but his body just wasn't allowing him to. "If this were you you'd be in the hospital already craving for painkillers." He muttered under his breath. He couldn't help it, he wanted to sleep, rest he just wanted to feel none of the pain anymore.

    "You made it clear it was just sex when you acted as if nothing had happened the morning after we did it the first time," he protested and took in a shaky breath. "You seduced me, and I begged, but what happens in the intimacy of the bedroom is not supposed to be shouted in the middle of Covent Garden..." he added, his cheeks red.

    He rolled his eyes at the rest of Sherlock's words: "Have you ever heard me complain about my shoulder?" he asked, swallowing hard when he looked into Sherlock's eyes. They were too close. He moved to the other side of his face, starting on the last bruise that needed cleaning. "Just be patient for a second more..." he added, his voice teasing. "You wouldn't have lasted ten minutes in the war..."

    "I just did not know how to react okay? I had never done anything like it before. Books said so many different things." He flinched at the touch of his other cheek. If only he could move properly. If only he could silence John by starting to play his violin. Sherlock didn't like talking about these things. He didn't understand them. He didn't understand the way his body was responding even though his mind told him different. Betrayal, pure and utter betrayal.

    "Yea then there's your reason I'm a consulting detective and not a soldier." He pointed out. "It's okay John, you can stop now." He just wanted those stinging things away from his face. He didn't like being this helpless and dependent. "Some coffee would be marvelous if you need me awake."

    So typical Sherlock. If people got too close, he'd just send them away.

    "Ignorance cannot be used as an excuse, Sherlock... you could have talked to me about it..." he muttered, and his voice dropped lower, his tone sad. "And if you didn't think it was worth it, maybe it was because it actually was.. just sex..."

    He groaned impatient when Sherlock tried to send him away. "Will you stop struggling? I am trying to take care of you, I will give you coffee when I see it fit," he replied, taking a few plasters from his bag. He started applying them to Sherlock's face, closing the wounds as much as possible.

    "Your lip now, Sherlock... it's just a very small invisible plaster... that way you can talk and drink and eat without problems..." he said, leaning over him, "Just show me your lips, I need to be precise..."

    "It's not an excuse John. It's who am I." Sherlock wasn't using ignorance as an excuse at all, it just was the simple truth. He didn't knew what things meant or what to do so he did the obvious. Well, at least the obvious to him. "It wasn't that you were telling me how you felt either , was it?"

    "I'll stop struggling of you stop hurting me." He protested. "John, I'm tired." It was his best excuse.

    Sherlock murmured some blurry words, only for him to know and understand. Slightly he pouted his lips as he turned his face towards John, now becoming aware of the fact how close they were.

    John groaned in frustration at Sherlock's words: "Even now you are just tiptoeing around it, Sherlock, what am I supposed to think? What is it that you say you wanted back then? You are implying a lot but not saying anything," he protested, and grabbed his jaw to keep him in place as he inspected his lips, his eyes focusing on the cut as he placed the plaster and stuck it carefully.

    "On the first day we met, I tried to ask you out, you told me you were married to your work, I reckoned that was rejection enough..." he muttered and sighed. "And even now, it seems to me you are just being possessive because you think you own me... like some sort of pet... even you should know that the right way to have a relationship with someone is to ask them out on a date, and that never happened as far as I'm concerned."

    Sherlock frowned in disbelieve. He just explained his feelings. Or the lack of it. Or the fact he didn't knew what to feel. Anyway, he explained! John just needed to understand the fact he didn't worked the way normal people did. "But I asked you out on dates so many times." He whimpered. "You were the one blurring out to people that you weren't my date." He was hurt by the fact he had taken John out so many times and he had never considered as going out at all.

    "I was speaking metaphorically when I said that, John. I allowed you on my cases, I don't ever allow people to do so." Had John really missed all the things Sherlock had done for him in the past year? All the time he'd relied on information, on John's help. All the times they had went to a restaurant. All the times Sherlock took John with him on cases. Those were dates, right?

    John couldn't help but gape at Sherlock's words, those... he really thought that those were... dates? "You have a twisted twisted mind," he commented, and couldn't help the soft laugh that bubbled up his chest. "So it turns out I am the one playing with you? Going out on dates with you and putting out and then going on dates with other people, is that how it went in your head?"

    He frowned, becoming suddenly serious, could it be possible? Had he hurt Sherlock?
    His fingers brushed along the other's jaw. "Tell me... truthfully... what is it that you feel, Sherlock?" he whispered, his eyes stopping to meet the other's pair. "Please..."

    "I'm glad you finally understand." He whispered, a bit ashamed of his own complicated mind. It always had to make simple things so difficult. Well at least to others.

    Sherlock's heart was throbbing in his throat. John was so close and he was asking him to tell him what he felt. What did he feel? Sherlock lifted his head slowly, ignoring the pain it gave him. His lips now brushing over John, but keeping it from a kiss. "You feel that warm feeling in your chest. The weak feeling in your knees?" He asked, his voice ever so deep. "And now that shiver that runs up all the way through your spine." Sherlock now pressed his lips onto John's for a few seconds before pulling away again.

    "That's how I feel."

    (( I love you, but you are killing me here XD ))

    John looked at Sherlock confused, his own feelings jumbling up in his chest. Could he really believe this? Sherlock Holmes really fancied him? It seemed such a human thing to do, and Sherlock had never been good at that.

    His eyes closed slightly at the kiss, his heart quivering in desire he couldn't comprehend.
    "Sherlock..." he whispered, his fingertips caressing his cheek, avoiding the bruises, tracing his jaw.
    "I am so sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you..."

    He looked at him, his cheeks red. "I forced myself to get over you... I thought you would never care for me..."

    (( Killing you with Johnlock! XD ))

    Another chill ran down his spine as John touched his face. John had done so before, to get them both in the mood before heaving sex, but it never felt this tender before.

    "It's alright, John." He replied soft. If he could he'd lock the man in his arms, but it just seemed impossible at this moment. "I guess I just gave you the wrong signals." He admitted.

    "John, you are the only one I've ever cared about."

    ((argh, and you keep doing that! Why do you hate me? *crumbles*))

    John felt his eyes sting, Sherlock was baring his heart and he knew it was true, he knew everything about Sherlock and he knew he never cared for people.
    His feelings were something so precious, John was terrified of making the wrong choice.

    "What do you propose we do now, then?" He asked, his voice shaking, because his mind was still filled with Jim, but what he had done made him fill with anger and hatred.
    God, it was confusing.

    (( *holds close* Come come, you'll be okay. ))

    Sherlock smiled slightly. "I propose you go and make me a cup of coffee now." He suggested it, no matter how much he wanted and needed John to be close. If he needed to stay awake, a few cups were highly recommended.

    He'd never told anyone something like this before. And he probably never will, but he knew his chances were small. Once John came back he thanked him politely. Something he'd never do otherwise either.

    "I know Jim is still fresh in your mind. And I know you waited 15 years for him and I can hardly compare to that. But he's no good, John. He's insane."

    John sighed as he came back with the coffee, and he sat by Sherlock on the sofa. He was unsure of what to do.
    Sherlock was right, Jim was insane, no one in his right mind would beat up someone else like this, even when jealous. Not to mention Sherlock had been defenceless after John's punch.
    It had been cruel to say the least.
    But even when he told himself that, Jim's smiley face came back to him, he had felt Jim sincere under his fingers.

    "You are right... This is not something I can forgive... I am afraid I can't possibly see him again..." He whispered, he had really thought they could be happy this time around.
    What had happened to Jim?

    He took Sherlock's hand, squeezed it, he needed to forget Jim.

    Sherlock could almost hear John's thoughts. He agreed with him, though in the back of his mind he entertained the possibility of meeting up again when times were better. Sherlock figured 15 years of emotional detachment to a person weren't just brushed away with one simple kiss on the lips.

    "You deserve so much better." He said, not even referring to himself but to the fact John needed someone who wouldn't smash his best friend out of jealousy. Someone who he could feel safe around and who would protect him.

    Okay, yes, maybe he was referring to himself after all.

    Sherlock entangled his fingers with John's and he lifted up his other arm, biting away the pain. Gently he pulled John onto his bare chest, stroking his hair. He could make him forget Jim.

    --

    Jim just arrived home, still enjoying the thoughts of what had happened between John and him earlier. He took out his phone and typed a simple message on it.

    -- Text to John --
    Can't wait for that second date!

    (( Oh poor Jim! He is so oblivious!! ))

    John whimpered just slightly as Sherlock pulled him close, his hand automatically reaching out to keep himself up so not to crash the other's chest. It just wasn't the right time for that. He stayed there though, his head on Sherlock's shoulder and his arm around him.
    "You are crazy, you know... I don't want to hurt you just to get a hug..." he muttered amused, nuzzling the side of his neck.

    He tensed considerably when he heard his phone beep, somehow he knew it was Jim.
    He wondered if he would apologize.
    He sighed audibly, anger making his blood run again, how could he do this to his best friend?

    "I am sorry I hit you, Sherlock..." he whispered then, apologetic. None of this would have happened if he had kept calm. "My temper just doesn't get any better..."

    "Oh, you just told me to man up." He joked back, sipped from his coffee and went back to the same position he was in. It comforted him, made him forget about how broken his body really was.

    Sherlock heard John's phone beeping. "Hm." he just groaned, knowing it was Jim and he even had an idea what the other was writing. Something like how he enjoyed tonight, how he couldn't wait to see John again. People were so obvious when it came down to this.

    Sherlock's heart became suddenly faster as John took the blame. "John it's not your fault." He started and he swallowed loud while becoming a bit nervous. "The fire alarm in the pub. It was me. I couldn't stand to see your fingers wrap around Jim's. And I didn't want to interfere directly. I'm sorry." He said, his tone very serious.

    John couldn't help the amused smile at Sherlock's words, he relaxed against his shoulder, enjoying his familiar scent. Sherlock was easily the only important person left in his life, he owed him so much, and even though what he felt for Jim, that was something one couldn't erase.

    His head raised quickly when Sherlock confessed to pulling the fire alarm. "Ah, so you were bloody jealous. I knew it," he muttered and poked his jaw just slightly. "You are too broken down for me to be able to be angry at you... you are very lucky..." he said, and placed a kiss on the other's cheek, carefully avoiding the bruises.

    "I wasn't jealous, I was just keeping you from doing something stupid." He commented. Perhaps he was jealous, but of course he wouldn't admit that in front of his friend. Not now at least. "Oh, such a lucky cat I am." He said playfully.

    A warm feeling rushed through his body as John kissed his cheek. He'd never done anything like that before. Not like this at least. But it felt oh so good and Sherlock could easily get used to it. His hand still entangled with John's while his thump ran over the surface of his skin. What a wonderful feeling.

    Sherlock finished his coffee, though he wished the effect would kick in sooner. He still felt tired, exhausted. "Am I allowed to sleep yet?" He muttered, already resting his eyes.

    "Yes, right, just being protective, were you," he muttered, and sighed a bit, he could get used to this, Sherlock's scent, the intimacy of their home.
    It was safe, it felt safe.

    He became alert again when Sherlock mentioned sleep. "No, no, Sherlock, don't you dare," he said and looked at him with panic as he closed his eyes. No, he thought, leaning closer to the detective's ear and biting his lobe.
    That should keep him awake.

    Sherlock abruptly snapped out of falling unconscious when he felt teeth gritting into his earlobe, followed by John's hot breath against it. Even though he was already unable to move, he felt his body freeze, followed by a strange feeling in his abdomen.

    "John." He whispered. But it sounded more like a moan of his flatmate's name then anything.

    John realized what he had done a bit too late. He hadn't meant to tease, it was just the first thing that had crossed his mind.
    It was too late to turn back now though.
    "Sorry," he apologized slightly. "Maybe teasing is a good way to keep you up though," he pointed out with a grin, still talking in the other's ear.

    "You know you have to stay awake.." he added, fingertips brushing over the soft skin under Sherlock's ear.
