A Johnlock fanfic in which John and Sherlock are unsure of each other and their own feelings. Will something happen to make them change their minds?

"I may have apologized for taking so long to die."

Jim Moriarty is fifteen, suffering from psychopathic behaviour since he was six-years-old. After a failed suicide attempt at his care-home in London, Jim is referred to group counselling sessions for teenagers. And that's where he meets Sebastian Moran, a seventeen-year-old with anger issues.

It’s been two years since the Reichenbach Fall, and Sherlock Holmes has decided to come back to London. He expected life to be different, but what the famous detective found out was not what he was expecting; John Watson was missing. Sherlock embarks on finding his best friend, and in doing so, reveals to himself the feelings that he trained himself to mask.

"I'm stupid," John says. "Why?" "Because I fell in love with you." "Yeah," Sherlock responds, "Definitely stupid." Set over the course of one school year in 2009, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits - Sherlock and John - smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. They struggle through identity crisis, drug addiction, and child abuse together, along with dealing with the pain of a highschool that labels them as freaks. When Sherlock meets John, they spark a love that will remind you of your first - and how hard it pulled you under.
