~John
We are at Scotland yard. We are talking about a new case. Its something that hits close to me. I write things down. Not paying attention to my surrounding. I felt someone wrap their arms around my waist. I jumped.
"Jawn," I heard Sherlock whine.
"Yes," I took a deep breath.
"What's your thoughts on this case?" He asked.
"Too soon from my opinion Sherlock," I said. Sherlock huffed and pulled me closer. I don't know what to do but I feel safe at the moment. I really never been held like this since I was a kid. I try not to give into it.
"Jawn, what's been bothering you," Sherlock whispered.
"Nothing has Sherlock," I said. He sighed. I know he doesn't believe me but I don't want him to know. I heard a big bang and I jumped into Sherlock's arms.
~Sherlock
John jumped right into my arms over a loud bang. I know John was in the army but I never saw him like this. I looked down at him. He was clinging onto me. I held him.
"Jawn," I whispered in his ear.
"Sh-Sh-Sherlock," He stuttered.
"Yes," I said softly. I looked up to see Donavan was laughing. I glared at her. This wasn't funny. I picked up Jawn and headed out of Scotland Yard. I hailed a cab. I kept Jawn close. I don't know what to do. I'm thinking of what he has. PTSD is the major thing I could think of but that doesn't sound like at home.
So yes PTSD and anxiety. Also depression. I could tell he has changed a bit in behavior from when we first met. I wish he could trust me to tell me these things. I got into the cab holding a scared Jawn. I run my fingers through his hair. I felt him relax some.
"Jawn," I whispered.
"Y-y-yeah," He whispered.
"It's ok," I said. I felt him nod into my chest. I never want to see him like this.
