Sherlock blinked once. Out of all the possible reactions he had anticipated, outrageously John had opted for the only one he hadn’t considered.
Laughter.
John Hamish Watson was laughing at him.
And it wasn’t a kind laughter. It was a loud, bellowing, almost mocking laughter. Sherlock narrowed his eyes as an emotion akin to anger rushed through him.
But he waited. Surely John had a good explanation. Relief replaced the anger. Did this mean Sherlock was wrong then? That John hadn’t grown tired of him?
But no, something was still off. What it was, he couldn’t be sure. But John had looked terrified… of him. He scowled. What was it then? What, what, what? What was missing? He closed his eyes. Mind Palace, he commanded himself.
John was still laughing to himself as Sherlock tried to piece together the puzzle in a different order. And then suddenly, it clicked.
“You have a crush on me,” he said calmly.
John stopped laughing.
