A Demon!lock Fanfic: Always At Your Service

Chapter 3

The two soon finished their meals and Sherlock walk John back to his office. "Thank you,i'll pay you back soon. I promise." The demon heaves a sigh of relief, this was definitely stalling... "You don't have to John, I have the money anyways." "

But-" he then cut himself off. "Is there something going on? You look uneasy." John notice a slight change in the other. Sherlock cursed at whoever was at the crossroad right now, they were summoning a demon and he was nearby..."I just have to pop by the toilet. Wait here please." "Oh um..sure." John nodded. "I'll be in my office." He called out as the other turn his heel and walked off.

Sherlock nods and walks away, eyes turning black in a blink before disappearing to the hallway and into space before a pindrop. Sherlock appeared in the middle of the road, facing a man. He got the deal done quickly so John wouldn't suspect too much.

John did some work while he waited for the other. He came across a link to some weird creepy occult website. "Back." The man says, opening the door to John's office and going in. "Whatever are you looking at?"

"Some nonsense." He rolled his eyes. "Demons and angels. A load of bull." The doctor then chuckled, as a man of medical science, he would not believe in such ridiculous things. "Uh huh. Load of nonsense." The demon repeats, nodding slightly an he rocked on the bed. Why wasn't Mycroft replying him anyways? Stupid brother.

"So,is there something troubling you?" John peered over and blink at the man. "No." the says quickly, "Of course not, why would that be? I'm fine, always have been fine." John frowned, obviously not buying it. "Well..i don't mean to pry but you do indeed look troubled." He got up and walk over to the bed and place their forehead together. "Hmm.."

Sherlock steeled himself, letting the other do as he pleases. "You can't go all doctor on me,John." The demon hugs the doctor around his waist. "Why not? I am however a doctor and you are in the doctor's office." He gave a smile and reach for the thermometer. "Say 'ahh'."

"Ahh..." Sherlock rolled his eyes, hand slipping under the coat to rest on the edge of John's pants. The thermometer soon beep and showed slight rise in temperature. "Getting hotter,you should keep a look out. Don't want you falling ill."

"I'm fine..." Demons don't get sick after all, their temperature always slightly higher. "You sure? Perhaps the fries? Are you getting an allergy reaction?" The doctor tilt the other's head side to side gently,giving him a more thorough check,his voice full of concern. "I'm good. really." Sherlock nods, pulling John close and onto his lap.

"When's your next patient?" John fell onto the other's lap,now straddled. " in an hour. Why?" The doctor questions. "We can have some fun?" Sherlock wonders, "Or do you have paperwork to do?" "Fun?" The other's cheek turned red. "W-we can't,it's my office. Someone may come in." Sherlock pouts, "Fine. I'll accompany you till your patient comes in." then carries John like he weighed nothing and sat down on the chair, the human on his lap.

John grip onto the man's shirt tightly,afraid to fall. Sighing in relief when they finally settled down. "Don't you have work today?" John asks. "Did it just now." The other replies, "Also Greg hasn't texted me anything yet." He sighed and lean his forehead on the taller man's chest. "Your work is so free and easy." Patting the other's back Sherlock nods, "I like it that way." It wasn't work as much as it was food to eat anyways and stupid humans to deal with. John look up at the man and stared. "I think..."

"Think what John?" he asks, blue eyes staring back instead of fully black ones. "I think i..l-..l-love you." The blonde man stuttered out. 

"Oh." Sherlock swallows, it wasn't the first time someone said that to him, he was more than a 100 and well...his looks were a plus. The only drawback was, they always left after finding out about his true self. Not left per say, he took their soul and that wasn't what he wanted with John.

"That's your reply? 'Oh'." John frowned slightly. He wasn't the kind to say such things and that respond kind of broke his heart,it wasn't what he had expected. "I mean, I care very much for you too John, you know that. But I wouldn't hold you to your word until you learn everything about me that you should know." Sherlock says. 

"What do you mean by that?" The blonde man frowned, he always knew the other was special but his senses are telling him that this time, it was a different. It was deeper. "Like?" He questions further. 

"L-like um...I can't tell you now John, perhaps tonight?" Sherlock pleaded. At least at home he could show the doctor properly, if evidence was needed. John stayed silent for a moment before giving an affirming nod. "Sure." He put arms around the detective's neck loosely.

That was one thing he loved about the human, John's undeniable trust in him. Their hour was soon up so the demon left his mate, "And about the website you saw just now, might be a good read." Sherlock says before leaving. 

John gave a slight frown. "Um..okay?" He took note of it and soon his next patient came in and he start his work once again.
