The Ring Told Him So
John Watson cleaned and polished his wedding ring often. As he did his husband's voice on that long ago (four years) first case would echo through his mind. “State of her marriage, right there.”
When Sherlock came home and he would come home, even if he had been gone for three years and everyone believed that he was dead, but he wasn't because John would know if he were dead. He'd be able to feel it but instead every part of him insisted that Sherlock was alive. When Sherlock finally came home and put him out of his misery, he'd see the wedding ring still on it's rightful place, well taken care of but also showing signs of being worn every day and rarely taken off, and he'd know that it was all fine.
The day Sherlock came home, his husband was sleeping soundly on the couch, clutching Sherlock's favorite bathrobe. Sherlock's eyes were drawn first to how pale, thin, and worn John looked. But safe, John was safe, because Sherlock had left and allowed the danger to follow him rather than his husband.
Then they were drawn to the ring on John's hand. It was cleaned, polished, still cherished. There would be explanations, apologies, perhaps even groveling but in the end, everything would be fine. The ring told him so.
