A/N: I wrote this for this prompt on the Kink Meme: Child!Sherlock falls down and scrapes his knee, but wants to continue chasing a bully around the school yard. Child!John insists he let him but a bandage on it. It sort of ran away with itself. XD

John watched as Sherlock's hands curled into fists. He bit his lip, running over to the dark haired boy, who would one day be able to control his limbs with grace and confidence, but now at the young age of eight, they were awkward and gangly. John stood behind him, looking around him at Sebastian. The pudgy boy was laughing. "No one, not even Lessie wants to be friends with the freak!" He giggled.

Sherlock suddenly burst forward to hit Sebastian, who dodged out of the way and bolted. Sherlock fell forward, landing with a thud and skidding across the ground a little. The detective-to-be was up in a moment, about to tear after the bully, but a hand wrapped around his wrist.

"No. Come over here and sit." John gently, but firmly, led Sherlock over to the jungle gym, sitting him down on a stair and looking over his scrapes. Sherlock rolled his eyes and huffed, but humored his best friend. John pulled away from Sherlock, looking him in the eyes and saying quietly, "Sherlock, stay here. I'll be right back. Don't move." Sherlock rolled his eyes again, but stayed still as John trotted off.

John returned with his backpack, digging in it and pulling out his small first aid kit. He opened it and took out some plasters, taking Sherlock's hands and carefully applying the band aids. Sherlock held still, pouting. John ignored the pout and went on to Sherlock's knees, putting on several plasters. After he was finished he kissed all of Sherlock's wounds and pulled away, smiling. "All better."

Sherlock stood up, nodding and letting a small smile come on his face. John beamed back. Lestrade, a ten year old, came over to them, dragging a kicking Sebastian behind him. "I'll take him to a teacher," he stated, keeping a tight grip on Sebastian's shirt collar, and grimaced, "He called me 'Lessie'."

John started to giggled and Sherlock joined in. John waved at Sebastian as he was dragged off, and took Sherlock's hand, mindful of the scrapes. "I'll always be your friend," he stated, smiling at him. Sherlock smiled back and squeezed John's hand.
