Sherlock never understood what lust,desire and dare he say it love was, until that night with John yes ok the first time he kissed him was an experiment he did turely want to know what a kiss felt like he had never done anything sexual or remotely affectionate before but he knew as long as he was around John that didnt matter.

Sherlock was in his mind palace when Mycroft text him. Sherlock looked down at the phone hoping it was a text from Lestrade there hadnt been any cases for at exactly 39 hours 21 minutes and 55 seconds and Sherlock was feeling irritable and the text from Mycroft didnt help.

Just spoke to John,

I didn't think you were capable of loving someone,

Don't hurt him Sherlock, hes only human.

MH.

Hurt John ! I would never hurt him who does Mycroft think he is !... I think I love him.. or do I love what he does to me ? no no im sure of it I love John,I love - Sherlock was cut off mid thought when John walked into the living room carrying shopping bags.

"Hey,I bought milk please try not to contaminate it with one of your experiments". John set the shopping bags down on the table and went to sit next to Sherlock.

"Is everything alright ? You look ... upset ". Sherlock glanced at John then ran his fingers through his hair.

"John do you think I am capable of hurting someone?" Sherlock looked up at John with pleading eyes. John smiled.

"Well you can throw a punch I can tell you tha-"

"No John thats not what I meant, hurt some one ...emotionally?

"Depends on who the person is really, who are you refering to?". Sherlock held Johns hand and kissed it tenderly.

"Well Mycroft just sent me a text saying 'dont hurt you', and well i'm afraid I might". John stood up and made Sherlock stand opposite him

"Do you love me ?" John was cupping Sherlocks face with both hands "If you do great we can be more than friends, but if you dont that doesnt matter I like pleasing you ...sexually".

Sherlock chuckled "I think I do, I love being around you, I love your body, I love being able to touch you, yes John im in love".

"Right then" John said "Sherlock are you a virgin?" Sherlock began to blush and started to stutter

"Yy-yes only because-"

"Thats good, Sherlock I want to take your virginity...if you want to ... that is"

'im terrible at being forward'

Sherlock smiled "Good because I cant imagine anyone else taking it"
