On the way back to the apartment, Sherlock and John avoided heavily populated areas and stuck to the side streets. They walked in silence, and exchanged glances every now and then.

Once they reached the flat, they looked around for Mrs. Hudson. They couldn't find her so they assumed that she had gone to the shops.

They walked up the stairs and opened the door, to be greeted by the one and only, Mycroft Holmes.

"Hello brother"

"Hello Mycroft" Sherlock said in his monotone voice, with a serious face.

"How are you, it must not of been easy living in the cemetery." Mycroft said with a smirk.

"You're kidding" John butted in, "he knew as well!!"

"No I didn't know until a few days ago, remember I have eyes everywhere."

"You found out a few days ago, and didn't think to tell me, do you have any idea where I was today and what my intentions were."

"I'm sorry John, I don't know."

"I was on the roof of St. Barts hospital, and I was going to jump off it."

Mycroft was silent.

"If I didn't go to Sherlock's grave, I would of been dead."

Still there was silence. John started tearing up, and he felt arms wrap around his waist. Sherlock then whispered in his ear "its okay John, I'm here."

Mycroft saw how much they meant to each other and just wished that the person that he had feelings for would treat him like that. "Well I best be off, John, Sherlock." And with that he left.

John felt his blood rise just at the mention of Mycroft's name let alone him actually being here. Sherlock noticed that he was becoming furious and pulled him into a tight embrace. "John, it's okay, just leave it, okay." No matter what John said to Mycroft, he got lost in his thoughts as he turned to mush in Sherlock's arms, he didn't want to leave them. John then spoke, "you look knackered Sherlock, why don't you go to bed." Sherlock began to walk to his room, then he stopped half way and said, "Are you going to join me john, or now that I've returned you're going to return to your bedroom upstairs." John was silent, he then took Sherlock's hand and they walked into their bedroom.
