He looked but some subconscious part of his vast mind must have prevented him from seeing. He could have seen if he wanted to, but he just didn't want to believe the truth. It was like that with Redbeard and Mary. Some part of him knew, but he didn't want to listen. It was all very irrational and didn't make sense, which was the very aspect that annoyed Sherlock beyond belief. He didn't like not knowing.
So when Doctor John Watson showed him the x-ray of a rather large tumor in his brain, he simply nodded, somehow expecting this very moment to happen exactly when it did. Knowing that he didn't know was nerve wracking, but actually knowing wasn't as reassuring as he thought it would be.
.o.O.o.
A bit of context: Taking place after Mary dies, ignoring The Final Problem and the fact that there is a there is a third Holmes. As if Moriarty were actually still alive. Miss me?

Haunted by the Past || Johnlock ✔
He was looking at Sherlock Holmes. Yet not the one he would have expected. Distinctive changeable eyes, lined by a row of long dense lashes, showed an expression of a wild animal standing in the glare of approaching headlights. Of a man driven into a corner. Simply expressed, an expression of pure horror, something you don't see on a famous consulting detective most of the time. John opened his mouth, but after a realisation that he has no idea of what he wanted to say, he closed it again. He wasn't welcomed by a mutilated, smashed face. The severed spine could be ruled out straight away, and he seemed to have all his limbs as well. He felt an endless relief when he saw solid, uninjured skin where the blood flowed the last time. Nevertheless, the scene he was offered tugged the carpet under his feet and he had to admit (if a bit grudgingly) that Mycroft was right-he did not exaggerate when warning him it might be a shock. Trigger warnings: This story contains references to violence and its description, and also deals with self-esteem issues and body image. If something triggers you, please proceed with caution or reconsider if you want to continue reading. PS: English isn't my native language and I'm a bit unsure of my style, but I hope you will like it. Enjoy the story!Complete
Love, Lies & Death ( A Sherlock Fanfiction)
"How are you dealing with your Philophobia?" Sherlock asked, completely ignoring John, who looked more confused as ever. "You haven't forgotten about that, have you?" Minerva smiled at him. Nine years ago she had met him and already knew something was special about him. His deduction skills were something she'd never seen before and yet he still remebered her fear of falling in love. "I'm doing fine, Sherlock. How about you?" Sherlock knew what she was hinting at. He had learned that Minerva was a master at reading peoples emotions within seconds. She must have seen the love in his eyes. He recalled her saying: "A look into someones eyes, for even just a second, is enough for me to know exactly what their feeling." Knowing he would lie to her, Sherlock answered: "I'm doing well." "I'm sorry, but what the bloody hell is going on?" John inquired. A little piece from my story.
