Epilouge:

John sets his keys down along with the chinese takeout on the coffee table, wary from a day's work. "Sherlo-" John is viciously thrusted against the wall; in shock he's unable to defend himself. Slender fingers travel into his jacket and roams the plains of his upper body.

Sherlock goes into kiss John but it's block once the golden haired man regains composure. "Sherlock, the hell is wrong with you? I just walked in." Sherlock huffs, pulling away from John before he becomes tempered. "I'm outrageously bored, John!" He grins, amused by Sherlock's always dramatic moods "Why do you assume that everytime you're bored, we'll have sex?" John inquires, pulling the containers from the box. "Because it has worked everytime that I've tried." Sherlock winks; heat filling John's cheeks like magma.

"Don't you have a case summary to go over with Mycroft?" John reminds Sherlock. "Already met with the british government and it was the girlfriend after all. Anyway, he tried to have me knighted... again." Sherlock rolled his eyes, slightly irritated at John for killing the mood with mention of his brother but hesitates to mention this next part.

"I might have to go way to France for a week or so, Scotland yard is out of their depths. I checked to see if you could come but your schedule is packed." There was the damn silence that Sherlock wanted to avoid. They had been inseparable since that day in the hospital and, to add on, Sherlock left John once already. And almost never came back.

"Oh, uh, yeah. No problem." John coughs outs; he's never been a good actor. Sherlock can read the heartbreaking expression John so badly wants to hide. In a few graceful strides and Sherlock is infront of John, grabbing him lightly so to get his attention.

"You know I wouldn't do that to you. Not again." John smiles, reassured. He could trust Sherlock. John watches Sherlock's features for any type of deception. None was found. "Yeah, I know. I love you." John says casually, turning to the food again.

"Of course." In consulting detective speak this translates as; I love you too.

Alas, a wonderfully happy ending to the ending. I hope you enjoyed this small story in it's entirety. Please feel free to comment with ideas you might have for my next Sherlockian adventures or with critiques or whatever.

I hope to hear from you all next story!

Infinitely yours,
