I caugh you Liam [MTP Sherliam Fanfic]

William's awakening

[]Information: I copied chapter 67 of the manga so that this chapter corresponds to the canon story. I added "romantic" touches XD that's all. As for the ending text with Sherlock and William, I wrote verbatim what they said in the manga. I hope you'll enjoy it, don't hesitate to tell me ;)[]

[Somewhere on a boat]

William POV: Where am I? My whole body hurts, and my left eye is covered with a bandage that prevents me from seeing where I am.. So I survived.. I wonder if Sherly is okay?..

William tries to get up but it is impossible for him, because his body hurts him. After a while he hears someone coming, it's not Sherlock, those footsteps don't match, they're those of a rather young boy. This boy begins to speak:

??: I wonder when he will wake up? Finally, I hope he will wake up..

Then this boy walks away from William and he seems to start peeling an apple. At that moment, he heard the sound of someone who had just suddenly got up from a bed, then he heard the voice of Sherlock saying

Sherlock: So you're safe Liam..

William preferred not to move, and to act as if nothing had happened to try to understand more about the situation. He heard the boy ask Sherlock how he was, and Sherlock completely ignored him, finally asking;

Sherlock: How is William?!

The boy preferred to ignore him and talk about those apples, which annoyed Sherlock who asked him the question again. He ends up answering that for the moment his condition was stable, and that he should get over it. Then they started talking, the boy introduced himself, his name is Henry Antrim, but the people of his country call him Billy the kid. Then he explained how they saved them and what he expected from Holmes. He also specified that he was going to take care of William. While they were talking, William didn't miss a word, he was just waiting for the moment when he was going to be alone so he could get up and get some fresh air. After that they got out of the room and left William alone. He was able to get his head straight.

William POV: Sherly.. You saved my life, thanks to you London and got rid of all this rubbish, but my brothers and my friends will always have me alive.. I will never know how to thank you..

At that moment, he felt a new sensation in his body that he had never felt before. It wasn't gratitude no.. It was something else.. something else he couldn't identify. William was wide awake but unable to get up or even move. He remained that way for several months. Yes month, William could hear but he was unable to move, see and even speak. He was in a kind of coma. During this time Sherlock and Billy were in town, doing several things. Many times William felt the presence of Sherlock sitting next to him, his head on his quilt, hoping he would wake up. He felt her body warmth, and at that moment he would have wanted to get up and hug her to thank him. Oddly that feeling of "hugging" that Sherlock had given him when they had fallen, hadn't left him. And he would have liked to do it again. One day, when he was alone, he found the strength to get up, he changed his bandages and he went to sit outside on a bench among the extended laundry. He didn't wait more than 15 minutes for Sherlock to arrive and sit down next to him. Then they started a long discussion.

Sherlock: Thank you William

William: ...I should be the one thanking you sherly. its as you said: "death is not atonement"....I'd just wanted to avert my eyes from my sins...Its a blank. I'd never even thought about it. That my story would have a continuation It's so unseemly of me Sherly. I don't know what I should do from here on. No. To be precise I must do. but as fore the right way to go about carrying out that duty. Right now, I don't have that answer.. All this time, I've never interested in myself as person.. And so when it came to my own self, all of a studen I didn't no what to do. But the one thing I knew for sure was that I enjoyed being with you.
Meeting you ad changed my world.. That day, when you'd saved me, My world became filled with color and now, everything that even someone like me had a heart that's what came to mind, this world, is truly beautiful isn' t Sherly?

At that moment William felt sadness deep inside him. He tried to hide his head with that hair so Sherlock couldn't see those tears, but he couldn't help but cry because of the emotions. could help it.

Sherlock: Liam, although you had a pas and a present, all this while you never really had a future. Ain't a blank canvas just spiffin? You can paint whatever you like. If it's an answer you've arrived at after a struggle, then no matter what it is, it'll be the right one.

Sherlock knelt down and he told liam;

Sherlock: Struggle on Liam! You've taken your first step toward living. And if you were able to take that step. Then i'm sure you can paint any kind of future.

After this discussion, Sherlock looked William in the eyes and smiled at him, he felt that strange feeling deep in his chest again. So, while Sherlock watched Will's one-eyed eye, he leaned down and hugged him. Sherlock was surprised but he didn't reject it. he whispers in the corner of her ear;

Sherlock: Don't worry. Everything will be fine now.

William didn't answer, he continued to hug him tight. So laughingly Sherlock said to him;

Sherlock: If you liked my hug that much when we fell off the pond, I could do it again for you as many times as you want Liam ♡

William: S-Sherly.. Let's go your friend Bill will be waiting for us..

And they left to start their "new life" in America, not knowing that a lot of hardship awaited them..
