Sherlock Oneshots (Mystrade/Johnlock/Mormor)

Asexuality - Johnlock

There's not many descriptions in this one, mostly just dialogue.

Basically, I'm asexual. I reckon Sherlock is as well. People may or may not agree with me on that, but yeah. I think he's asexual and gay (ace/homoromantic). Yes, there are some negative asexual stereotypes that he has. Such as he can't 'get off' in the way 'normal' people do, and so he turns to murder and crime and stuff. And the nickname 'The Virgin' is something I've been called. In his case, it's gotta be true.

He finds relationships (platonic, romantic, sexual) to be a bit dull and not useful. Obviously, there are exceptions. We can thank John and Hudders for that.

Every ace person is different, and my headcannons will most likely be different from yours. I like to think that Sherlock and John would be in an asexual relationship, so I wanted to write something that could touch on that.

John's P.O.V

After living with Sherlock for just over a year, I started to wonder what his 'deal' was. Was he into guys? Girls? Something in between? Everything? Nothing? I had no idea. It wasn't like he was trying to help me. I think he was trying to confuse me.

I couldn't help but remember what Sally told me;

"He gets off on it, ya know."

I don't think he does, actually. I don't think he gets off at all. I live with him. I think I might know him a little better, in that way.

Most people say he's a virgin, and that it's linked to how 'messed up' his brain is. Some people say he's not sexual in nature because he's probably autistic. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure that those two things aren't exactly linked.

Autism doesn't always equal not sexual.

He wasn't even diagnosed with autism (or anything for that matter), so in his case, those things couldn't be linked at all. He definitely had something that was undiagnosed. Not a lot of people understood how his brain worked. I often wondered if he even knew every in and out of his brain. I had never met someone else like that until I met him. Then I was introduced to multiple people who thought a lot like he did.

One day, I was sick of wondering. So, I just outright asked him. It was awkward, coming from me. But, I would bet anyone that he would've preferred me asking than anyone else.

"Hey, Sherlock?"

"Hm?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Of course you can, John. You can ask me anything."

Okay. Good to know.

"Uh, have you ever... been with anyone before?"

"No. Why?"

"Well, have you ever wanted to?"

"No. Why?"

"So... um... have you ever fallen in love?"

"Not that I'm aware of, no. My brother is the one with feelings, not me."

"Your brother has feelings?"

"Yes."

Okay. I'll ask about that another time.

"So, you don't have feelings, is that what you're saying?"

"I have feelings, I just don't understand them."

"Oh, okay."

"If I wanted to fall in love, however, I don't know that I could. I never have before, and most aspects to a normal relationship scare me."
