AUTHOR'S NOTE: You can probably guess from the chapter title that this chapter is about Sherlock's mind palace...you are correct. So basically this is what Sherlock is dreaming while sleeping with John. It's from Sherlock's point of view too...ENJOY!
Sherlock's Mind Palace: It's dark outside and the only light I can see is from the street lamps outside and the cars passing by. I hear the rolling thunder off in the distance and the sound of rain pattering on the window. I turn my attention from the window's hazy glow to the clock on my bedside table: 2:02 AM. I go to turn over when I feel something beside me. I flinch as I feel immense warmth wash over my body...and I relax. I turn to see a familiar face lying beside me: John. I smile and his eyes open slowly. He gives me a lazy smile before burying his face into my chest, hugging me softly. I have no idea exactly what is going on. I'm incredibly confused until I hear John mutter something about being cold. As if it's an instinct, I wrap my arms around him and pull him impossibly closer. I feel him smiling into my shirt as his warm breath heats up my shirt. He nuzzles my chest, making me chuckle softly. His soft laughter makes me blush...again.
As we lay there, I wonder, 'If this is a dream, than I can do anything'. I nudge John gently and he groans, obviously not wanting to move. I nudge him again and he sighs loudly. I can tell I've woken him up. "I hate to wake you John but I have to ask this one question", I say in a hushed voice.
"I'm all ears Sherlock", he says, propping himself on one elbow, smiling at me.
"W-w-", I stutter before continuing,"Why are we sleeping together...in my bed?"
"Sherlock", he chuckles,"We've been sleeping together for months now. How could you forget? You're the great Sherlock Holmes", he teased me as he giggled.
"Okay but...why?", I ask, still not getting the full picture.
"We're dating silly", John chuckles before kissing my cheek.
I feel my face go from its usual color to crimson in an instant. He laughs quietly and I feel myself smiling. 'So we're dating? Have we kissed?' I ponder this for a moment. He gazes at me lovingly, his eyes searching for something and I cannot deduce what it is. He scooches closer, and I feel my heart rate begin to speed up. He smiles and I cannot help but feel like I know what's going to happen next.
As if one que to my thoughts, John moved closer once more and placed his hand on the side of my face. I swallow, trying not to show my confusion and slight fear. I study him, unable to figure out what he's about to do. 'This is a first. I am always able to deduce what's going on and now I can't...what. is. going. ON?!' But I did not have long to ruminate because the sound of John speaking brought me out of my trance. "You know you're so cute when you try and deduce", John said grinning.
I blushed once more and I knew John could see my pink cheeks because he snickered quietly. He moved his hand from my face to my neck and I felt my heart skip a beat. He inched just a little closer and I felt our noses brush up against each other. My face goes redder and redder. I can feel him smiling before he closes the gap and I nearly jump out of my skin. 'John Hamish Watson is kissing me!' My mind spun and my heart felt like it would jump out of my chest. After quickly regaining my senses, I placed my hand on his shoulder and returned the romantic gesture, not exactly sure why but it felt amazing. He broke apart, looked at me for a split second, then resumed. How long we stayed like that, I do not know. What I do know is that when we broke apart, we were both just a little winded. He smiled and I grinned. We gazed at each other before he whispered to me, "I love you Sherlock."
And then my brain exploded. My heart panged so loud I could hear it throbbing in my ears My body felt fuzzy and weird and I had no clue what to do. I must have made a face or something because John looked at me and asked,"Are you okay love?"
Without thinking, I kissed him once more, breaking away slowly and whispering, "Never better."
He smiled and hugged my torso, burying his head into my chest. I hugged him back gratefully. As I felt his breathing change, I knew he had fallen asleep. Looking at him once more, I kissed the top of his head and whispered to him in a barely audible voice, "I love you too John.'
I felt him smile into my chest and I mirrored his grin. Slowly closing my eyes, I listened to the sound of thunder rolling, rain pattering, cars quietly passing, my heart beat, and John's soft, rhythmic breathing. As my brain relaxed, I fell asleep feeling the best I've ever felt in a very long time.
