Notes: This is Sherlock's POV of a portion of events from drabble one

Three year old Sherlock watched the other boy, carefully, he didn't want to be caught. People found being observed, stared at, and cataloged disturbing and he didn't want the other boy to be afraid of him.

He wanted a friend, and the other boy was interesting.

He had blond hair, blue eyes, and a bright happy smile. Something about the smile made Sherlock want to smile and made him long to see the smile directed at him.

He imagined having John for a friend for a happy moment and nearly missed seeing the boy's sister take the teddy bear. She walked to quickly for him to follow.

He'd find the teddy bear, bring it back to the other boy, and maybe since he found the teddy bear they could play games. Maybe he wouldn't laugh at him like the kid's at nursery.

Sherlock grinned and turned his attention to the case of the missing bear.

Afterward, once John had been called off home, Sherlock actually came home from the park and therefore the babysitter's watch, smiling and happy.

John had played with him. They had laughed and played on the swings. Maybe he had a friend? John had said see you tomorrow...

Sherlock made plans to give his teddy to John... If he had a friend he wouldn't need the bear.
