Sherlock stood on the roof of St. Bart's for a second time. He looked out over London, one final glance at the city he loved. This time though, there was no back up plan and he didn't need or want one.

There was no reason for a fail safe, not anymore. He reached up and touched his eyes, a smarting reminder of why. after all Sherlock had anticipated the punch. John was a man of Violence and action. What Sherlock did not predict was what john did next.

'Leave. You made me watch you die. You watched me grieve and didn't care enough to tell me you were alive. You are dead to me'

And he meant it. There was so much anger and hate in johns voice. he was trying to keep his face blank but he could see the fury and hurt in johns eyes. Sherlock could live in a world where John mourned him or even in one where John didn't believe in him. But he couldn't live in one where john hated him.

Sherlock stepped of the ledge. He closed his eyes as he felt the wind whipping around him. One last breath and...

The arms came out of nowhere, pulling him of the ledge and against another much shorter body. Sherlocks eyes shot open as he felt john burying his forehead into his back. He felt, rather than heard, johns shuddering sods. Then, a whisper, a promise of hope, that held none of the hate and anger that had been there earlier.

'Stay'
