Chapter 29: A friend's comfort

John

"I guess I won't have to tell you about that other thing. Goodbye, John."

When he'd walked away from Sherlock, he'd felt fine. But soon, his mind spun and he felt like there was a gaping hole in his chest.

He ran from the library and pushed unsuspecting students, who were walking along the halls, out of his way, not really seeing or noticing anything around him.

He slowed down when he approached his dorm and began to think. He thought of... Sherlock.

I was supposed to tell him I like him! John felt tears gather in his eyes. I was finally going to tell him I like him that way. I blew it! I fucking blew it!

He arrived at his dorm and threw himself on his bed. He felt like shit, having to go through that. Why couldn't Sherlock see?

Why can't Sherlock see I like him? John thought. He's a genius after all! He can deduce people in under two minutes, find their weaknesses and who they really like! He can see through most people, but why not me? Why can't he understand that I like him?

It would've been so much easier if I hadn't fallen for him. I wish I could just like some other guy or girl and just be friends with Sherlock. But no, John squeezed his pillow. I had to fall in love with him.

"John? John? Wake the fuck up, John!"

John opened his eyes and was caught staring face to face with Joshua, who was grinning like a mad man.

"Dude! Irene Adler is leaving! She's finally leaving for America!" Joshua said happily.

"Why so happy? She's our friend," John pushed himself up and rubbed his eyes, still feeling bad.

"Yah, but," Joshua said, "it will keep Lisa from realizing I cheated on her!"

Isn't Lisa cheating on Joshua? Oh God.

"That's good for you," John muttered.

Joshua's face fell. "But Sherlock left for Russia last night. I don't think he's coming back."

John felt his heart deflate when Joshua mentioned Sherlock.

"He... hey, John?" Joshua asked. "Are you alright?"

John took a deep breath and tried to compose himself, but with every passing moment, his thoughts only grew louder.

You missed your chance. You should've told him before he dies.

"John!" John didn't realise he was crying until Joshua wrapped his arms around him and tried to comfort him.

"I missed my chance," John sobbed. "I missed my only chance to tell him."

Joshua didn't say anything about it. He only continued to rub John's back and say comforting things to him.

After two minutes, Joshua's shirt was wet with John's tears and Joshua still held him like a mother would her child.

"He likes you too," Joshua said quietly.

John never heard his words.
