Unexpected Love

Chapter 6 - Sentiment

John's POV:

Since the night Sherlock had slept with me in my bed he came every night. And that was the reason I didn't have any nightmares anymore. Because I was still afraid of getting another nightmare, but with Sherlock sleeping in my bed I didn't get one.

Often I first noticed him the next morning, but it was a great feeling waking up in the arms of Sherlock. At some time in the morning he left my room, thinking I hadn't noticed him.

But sometimes I woke up when he slipped under the cover and put his arms around me. Then I acted as if I was sleeping, but my heart begun to beat fast. So fast that I was afraid Sherlock could hear it. But then after a while in his arms my pulse calmed down a bit adn I felt asleep fast.

One night was different. He came into my bed, as usually and again I woke up when he put his arms around me. But suddelny I had to sneeze, and now Sherlock knew I was awake. Quickly he moved away his arms, but I grabbed them and hold them tight. It was a reflex and I did it without thinking, so when I became aware of what I just had done I felt my heart racing and my hands begun to shake.

But surprisingly he took my hands and hold them, giving them a short queeze. Again I felt his arms around me, but something missed.

I was lying with my back in the direction of Sherlock, like always when he came in the nights, but I wanted to feel safe again, safe like that night.

So I made something, again without thinking. I turned around and burried my face into his chest. Sherlock was surprised, because he didn't move his arms but let them where they were before. And then, when my ear was pressed against his chest, I could hear his heart beating. But it was beating very fast, like my own heart, and this surprised me.

Sherlock didn't feel things like love, so why was his heart beating so fast?

But I forgot my thoughs when Sherlock put his arms tight around me again, pulling me as close as possible. We had never been so close to each other, and it was a great feeling, I totally sinked into it.

We layed there for a while, knewing each other was awake but saying nothing. Then I broke the silence.

"Why are you coming every night?"

"You don't like it?", he said with a bit of surprise and uncertainty in his voice. "I can leave if you want" I felt how the grasp around me slacked, so I fastly huddled up against Sherlock, comforting him with that.

"Of course I don't mind, you can stay with pleasure." When I was aware of how weird this sounded I felt blushing, but it was night so Sherlock coulnd't see it.

"Okay", was the only thing Sherlock said but I could hear him smiling.

Then again we said nothing for a while.

"You knew I was coming every night into your room?"

"Yeah sure.", I said. "And thank you for that"

"Hm..no problem", he said, and then he did something that took my breath away.

He begun to stroke my hair, genlty, but it was wonderful. Every time he touched my head it was like I was getting an electric shock, but I was really pleasant.

When I was about to fall asleep he said something which did really touch me.

"I would do anything for you for knowing you're happy."

These words loosed something inside me, warmth spread out through my whole body and now I was totally clear about my feelings.

I am in love. I am in love with Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock's POV:

This night I stayed awake for a long time, I was still surprised of what John had done. He had thanked me of sleeping with him in his bed, he knew about every time I had shared his bed and he had comforted me with cuddling up. Were these some signes of him being in love with me?

Lost in thoughts I was still stroking his hair, and every time he was breathing out I could feel his warm breath on my chest.

When I looked at John, seing how cute he was when he was sleepig suddenly I knew it.

I am in love. I am in love with John Watson.
