Chapter Seventeen
John
"So, um," John shuffled his feet awkwardly. "To be continued?"
"Of course," The words came so easily and so sincerely. He wanted to see this new life of theirs. Nothing was going to be the same.
"Just don't fall for any of those American male models."
Sherlock gave him a look.
"Right, okay." John held up his hands in surrender. I'm sorry. Any female models."
Sherlock couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle, and John practically beamed.
RETURNING
Sherlock has new clothes, more casual windbreaker thing. instead of tanning, he has freckles. John sees him from afar, doesn't recognize how healthy he looks. John sees him as a normal good-looking man waiting in a terminal. some college girls flirt with him, but he hardly acknowledges them. Each gets each other coffee (4 cups)
EPILOGUE
Sherlock
"Do you have your passport?"
"Yeah."
"Are you positive?"
"Christ, Sherlock, calm down. I've got my bloody passport."
"I'm sorry. I suppose I'm just nervous," Sherlock gave him a sly smile. John lightly elbowed him in the ribs.
"You're an arse sometimes, you know that?" John said.
"Guilty as charged," Sherlock smirked, and John rolled his eyes.
They were sitting in an airport terminal.
