Unexpected Love

Chapter 8 - Cuddling and Staring

John's POV:

It had been such an awkward moment when I was lying on top of Sherlock, but it had been also so wonderful. And then came the phone call...and everything was ruined.

Only now I was becoming aware of that moment our faces were moving to each other's face, and when our faces would've been a little bit closer they would've touched each other.

Sherlock had looked at me in a way I usually looked at him, full of sympathy and.....love. Could it be....could Sherlock be in love? But....it's Sherlock and he has no human emotions...but everything points to him being in love...but it can't be.

I coulnd't think straight anymore so I just finished showering.

When I went into the living room Sherlock was sitting in his armchair, like he was always doing. I just acted like nothing happened before.

"Still no new cases?", I asked.

"No, nothing. Time for other things to do", he said, giving me a wink.

I had to swallow, but when I saw Sherlock's amused face I had to grin.

"So, you wanna do something special?", I asked.

"Not really", he said, so we spend our day playing different games which Sherlock all won. But it wasn't a surprise for me, Sherlock was just invincible, no matter what we played.

In the evening we were watching TV, but soon it got boring so we switched it off.

We were sitting on the couch, close to each other. And suddenly Sherlock rested his head on my shoulder, huddling up to me carefully.

"Um...Sherlock?", I said surprised, but he put one finger on my mouth for silencing me. I became silent, but his finger still rested on my lips. Only after a few minutes he put his hand down.

At the place where Sherlock had put his finger on my lips it was prickling, and it was a pleasant feeling.

While we were sitting on the couch for a long time, his head on my shoulder, I was wondering what Sherlock wanted to reach with his affection.

I though that Sherlock couldn't surprise me more. But I was wrong.

He cuddled up against me nearer than he already was and then he put his arms around me, hugging me. First I just did nothing, but then I put my hand on his arm and I rested my head on his head.

"Sherlock, why are you doing this?", I asked him soflty. First he didn't give me an answer, but then he released me and stood up, forcing me to do the same. Then he took my face into his hands, making me look direcly into his eyes.

"Wh..what...what are you doing?", I said, really startled, but Sherlock put me to silence with a "Shhhh"

Then he was just holding my face, looking into my eyes.

What on earth was Sherlock doing?
