Broken Limbs for the New Year
Sherlock sat in the uncomfortable hospital chair, holding John's hand. His mind was racing and he recognized that he might still be in shock even though he'd discouraged anyone from coming near him with blankets or anything else... he didn't want to be tended to by anyone but John.
John, who would be unable to tend to him for at least a month if not longer. John, who despite misunderstanding his words and actions, had pushed him out of the way of a speeding car driven by a drunk driver.
He wished he could go back to the seconds after midnight when everyone was wishing one another a Happy New Year, this time he wouldn't try to downplay the kiss as him trying to fit in with societal conventions..... No this time he would make it obvious that it was a move. That he wanted John in his life as his best friend, partner, flatmate and lover...
Instead, John lay in a hospital bed, unconscious with a broken leg, broken hip, and a broken arm. John's eyes fluttered open and he stared at Sherlock.
Almost as if he didn't register his pain, his first question was on Sherlock's well being.
Sherlock got up and placed a chaste kiss on John's dry and chapped lips.
He tried to say what he wanted to say but his mind couldn't seem to get the words out.
The way John's hand tightened around his hand and the way his eyes lit up with happiness told him that John got the message anyways.
