-Ashley POV-
After I unpack I see Sherlock sitting on a chair going through file after file, seeming to be looking for evidence against my old orphanage. I sit next to John, who's writing on his laptop, on the couch. "Tea?" "Yes, please." He gets up to put the kettle on and I watch Sherlock. He has been through so much, being called a freak his whole life for something so wonderful. That's why he hurried his emotions, because of the bullies. Poor man denied feeling anything until John waltzed into his life. If he lost John... lord only knows what would happen. He may even commit suicide. But let's hop that never happens. John comes back with two cups of tea and hands one to me. "Thank you." "Your welcome."
I'm sipping my tea, which is quite good, when Sherlock suddenly jumps up, seeming quite frustrated. "There's no evidence! The only evidence we have is you but one testimony isn't enough even with your marks! Lestrad trusts me, he would believe me, but he wouldn't be able to warrant a search... Goddammit!" I raise an eyebrow and John just looks exasperated. "Sherlock, what about people who were adopted from the orphanage or grew old enough to leave? If we found enough people who used to live there we could get some more testimonies and get a warrant to close the place down." This makes Sherlock's face light up. "Of course! Why didn't I think of that? Your brilliant, John!" They were gazing at each other so longingly that it made me want to puke. "Oh for the love of- just kiss already! I can leave if you want!" Startled, they both chuckle before sharing a quick peck. Sherlock goes back to work, searching for people who would be able to testify for us, and I decide to go take a nap.
