John opens his eyes and yawns a little. He shifts slightly from his uncomfortable position but freezes when he feels pain shoot up his bottom and back. He bit his lip, suddenly aware of how naked he was but the feel of the sheets. He thinks back to what happened, feeling a head ache coming on. He remembers going out drinking with Sherlock then kissing...

John gasps and his eyes shot open. He groans as the light got in his eyes, he covered them with one hand as he sat up slowly, pushing himself up with the other hand. He sat up and rubbed his his a little. He cracked them open slowly, blinking through the hang over and sunlight. He looks over, scared to what he would see. He sees a very naked Sherlock, laying on his side, facing John, eyes open. John closed his eyes again and groans softly.

"Good morning." A deep baritone voice broke the silence.

John looks over at him sheepishly. He was scared that Sherlock would reject him.

"M-morning..."

"You stuttered, meaning you're nervous or worried about something. Possibly that you want to tell me to forget what happened or possibly you are worried about me rejecting anything you say. John, obviously I will listen to what you say. We can talk this out if you would like."

John knew he shouldn't be surprised with Sherlock's reaction but of course, he was. He nodded slowly and took a deep breath." I'm sorry about this. I don't regret it though, even if you do. When you told me you're married to your work... I tried to stop myself from falling for you but I couldn't.. Even if this ruins everything... I'm in love with you..." John said softly, biting his lip.

*Sherlock pov*

Sherlock presses his lips against his companion's temple. He chuckles lightly at John's nervousness. He knew John was in love with him. His pulse, eyes, how he reacts to Sherlock's actions. It was so easy for Sherlock to see. But, Sherlock was also in love with John. He hated that he was because of the emotions be didn't understand. He sighs and pulls away.

"John... You are quite stupid."

John looks up at Sherlock, he saw the panic and hurt in his eyes.

"Don't take it that way. I love you as well John."

Sherlock saw the tension roll off of John's shoulders. He saw the smile he loves so much on the Doctors face.

Sherlock grabbed his face and pulls him in. They kissed passionately, leading into round 2.
