We both entered the cave. I a tad irritated with John. His "we must call the police nonsense". I really just wanted to find the bomb and diffuse it. Get this over with. I looked around. Nothing. It was an ordinary. Nothing changed. I looked around. Although John was equally confused. I found a small line of wires almost hidden. I followed them with my eyes. I pulled open one of the seats.
"Oh" I said. John turned and a slight gasp and a look of surprise. All of the seats were like this.
"The whole thing is the bomb. Fascinating" I muttered. John snorted and shook his head. I looked around for the detonation device. Nothing. Oh I get it. I pulled up one of the floor boards. Inside was the detonation device. 2:00 minutes and counting. Even I started freaking out.
I have been to busy destroying Moriarty to focus on any new bomb that had been released and this one was definitely new. I stared. John also stared at the bomb.
"Can you diffuse it?" John asked. I shook my head.
"I don't know." I whispered. I really had no clue.
"Well go to your mind palace." Johns words were getting more desperate. I tried desperately to think but why my mind palace.
"My mind palace?" I questioned.
"Well yeah. You have every other fact stored away in that brilliant mind of yours. Somewhere there has to be some kind "how to diffuse a bomb". " he said.
"Maybe." I said. I closed my eyes thinking. I tried to work it out. Nothing. I was coming up with nothing. Desperately I looked closer at the bomb itself. There I found the off switch.
"John I am sorry. I can't do it" he looked so distressed. My heart shrunk. This was cruel. Suddenly his face changed and he edged his way to the floor.
"Sherlock. Did you know that I had a friend that died while I was in the military. Happens all the time right. Well he was dying on my table and I worked desperately to fix him. His last words to me were ' I wish I had told him I loved him'. I really do not want to make that mistake. So Sherlock I love you. Always have. Ever since that first case when you made me forget my cane. I fell for you hard. Every time I denied my being gay it was because I knew no I know you never loved me and it was easier for me to deny it then let the truth of not being together rip me apart. Sherlock I love you so much." John said. My heart grew before feeling like it was gonna explode. I blinked.
"John before you get mad I love you to. Always have. Now the bomb has been diffused." I whispered. Instead of being mad he just laughed. I started laughing along with him.
I walked over closer to him and encircled him in my arms. Still laughing we stayed like that till Mycrofts men opened the carriage. Than we broke apart and wrapped up the rest of the case.
