((I FEEL LIKE THIS NEEDS A LITTLE BIT OFF A PROMPT))

Prompt: Whenever John leaves Sherlock, he will go down and stay with Mrs. Hudson and vent to her about John. About his feelings for John, about how he hates when John leaves, annoying things John does, how it hurts when John goes on dates, anything he needs to get off his chest about John really. And Mrs. Hudson (my friggin hero) is parient and gives Sherlock advice or consolance. However, one day someone decides to eavesdrop...

***ITS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW MONTHS. ALSO BLESS MRS. HUDONS SOUL I LOVE HER***

TYPE: FLUFF

SHERLOCKS POV

I listened with my eyes closed as John shuffled near the door. "Alright Sherlock im off to work. Ill see you later". I gave a hum in acknowledgement and after a beat, heard the door shut. I cracked one eye and saw the door was indeed shut and I sprang up, stepping over the coffee table and into the kitchen for a cup of tea. Once made I went to the door and decended down the steps. I knocked on the door and awaited for Mrs. Hudsons door to open. Once it did I strode inside, not waiting for a welcome. "Hello again dear. John off at work again"? She asked, turning on our show, Criminal Minds.

I sighed and sat down on her couch. "Yes. I don't understand why he goes to work so much"? I complained taking a sip. "I mean, couldnt he take one day off? They dont need him all the time..." Mrs. Hudson came and sat down next to me, lightly parting my knee. "Oh dear someone needs to get money and pay the bills! Its good, and besides you cant keep him cooped up with you all the time". She smiled. I frowned "That is true".

We had a pause of silence as we watched Spencer do his amazing gift. "So, any interesting cases"? Mrs. Hudson tried. I groaned "Well we did have have an interesting one until John's half-wit nurse called and asked for a date. I honestly dont understand what he sees in her! She is so plain and not even that attractive"! I exclaimed, Mrs. Hudson rubbing my back and trying to calm me. "Dont say such nasty things-" "I am not being nasty. Im stating facts". She shook her head. "Oh well..."

I grumbled as she handed me a tiny biscuit and ate in sad silence. The time had flown by and it was already starting to get late. I stood and before I made it to the door I reluctantly turned. "Thank you Mrs. Hudson..." She was cleaning up and shrugged "Of course dear, im always here for you". I nodded and went back to my own flat. Just as I started to play my violin the door opened again and John walked in. "Hello Sherlock". He greeted. I continued to play and I heard John mumble an 'ok' and sat in his chair. After I composed a few more notes I set down my violin and went to bed...

SHERLOCKS POV

Another day wihout John. I sadly went down to Mrs. Hudson's and opened the door. She was vaccuming and listening to her heavy metal. I didnt say a word as I sadly laid down on her couch. She finally saw me and paused her music, coming over.

"Oh my what's happened"? I huffed "John's out on a date...". I heard another 'oh' before she moved my feet over and sat down. "Im here for you Sherlock..." She patted my legs kindly. I vented again. "Its that same, bloody nurse. I mean I am so much better than her. Arent I"? Mrs. Hudson smiled again. "Of course dear". I nodded.

"Yes. And I always do my best. I do everything for him. And the only reason he says no is becaus that woman has a nice smile and some bags on her chest". Mrs. Hudson let out a laugh then. I glared her down and she simmered to a giggle. "Sorry dear. Do go on"? I groaned. "And its so INFURIATING. Watching him chase after all these girls. Ive tried so hard. And he's so stupid and such an idiot that he can't piece together the facts. He's so stupid...but he is also gorgeous and amazing. So brilliant.John is so kind and sees things in people. Sees things in me. And I love him for that".

I saw Mrs. Hudson hesitate and I nodded her on. She bit her lip. "Sherlock...I think its time...I think its time to give up love". I sat up at that comment. She continued when I didnt reply. "I know you love him. And I know you cant just drop these feelings. But you have tried. And John has proved that he isnt...interested" I involentarily flinched, the comment stinging me.

She started again. "Maybe there is someone out there thats brilliant as well. It isnt the end love. I know-" "Mrs. Hudson". We both jumped and turned around. John stood at the door, looking straight at me. For the first time, I was shocked. I felt my heart rate accelerate at the idea he had been there the whole time. I tried to read his expression but I just couldn't. She squeaked out a "Yes dear"? John still didnt move his eyes from mine. "Could you leave for a momment"? She scurried out of the room with an "Oh my" and shut the door...

JOHNS POV

I walked back from Angelo's grumpy and annoyed. That was probably the worst date ive ever been on. She worked with me, what was her name...Lila, and I thought she was cute so when she asked me, I had said yes. Worst decision in my life.

Her laugh was annoying, she was actually a little rude, and turned out to be just obssessed with mine and Sherlock's fame. She went on and on about my blog, never stopping. It drove me nutty. The date was short and I quickly left, ending it early, and not daring to go home with her. I found my footsteps to be light and eager with the thought of going back to the flat and to just relax with Sherlock. A small smile played on my lips. Maybe he was still up playing the violin...Or shooting the wall.

Sherlock was never one to be read easily. I opened the door I relaxed into my own home. I went for the stairs but came to a stop once I saw Mrs. Hudson's door cracked open. I was curious and peeped inside.

"And its so INFURIATING". My curiosity perked as I leaned in more, listeneing to what Sherlock was going on about. "Watching him chase after all these girls. Ive tried so hard. And he's so stupid and such an idiot that he can't piece the facts. He's so stupid..."

My heart was now frozen. Was he talking....talking about me? "But he is also gorgeous and amazing. So brilliant. John is so kind and sees things in people. Sees things in me. And I love him for that". I had to remind myself to breathe. Hearing him say all of that was spectacular. But did I love him? And then it all came to me, clicking together. Of course I did. I always had.

In the back of my mind I knew that I did. That I do. I had lost the conversation a bit and tried to jump back in. "...its time to give up love". I finally saw Sherlocks lovely curls as he sat up, looking at Mrs. Hudson. "I know you love him. And I know you cant just drop these feelings. But you have tried. And John has proved that he isnt...interested". My heart slightly broke as I saw Sherlock flinch. No no no no I had to stop her. I do care, god I do. But my legs wouldnt budge.

"Maybe there is someone out there thats brilliant as well". Her saying that made a sudden intsense anger burst from my stomache. The thought of Sherlock finding someone else...It drove me mad. And thats what propelled me forward. "It isnt the end love. I know-" "Mrs. Hudson". I stepped into the room. They both jumped and looked at me. However I couldnt look away from Sherlock. His pupils were blown, features flushed. I didn't really here her reply. I just needed Sherlock.

"Could you leave for a momment"? I was happy to see her comply and shut the door as she left. We both stood there, the tense silence tangible. I took the first step forward. "Sherlock-" "How long were you there"? He asked still glued to the couch. I shook my head. "Enough to hear". He gulped and I took another step. He seemed like a cornered animal as he stood, pacing.

"Look John lets not speak of this again". I was gobsmacked. "What"? He ruffled his curls. "Just dont bring it up and we can go back to our old days. Isnt that what you want? Just to be friends again? So lets-" "No". I said firmly. Sherlock looked slightly annoyed now. "Dont hold a grudge John. I-". "No. I said no Sherlock. I want to talk and I dont want to go back to the way things were". He seemed suprised at that comment. I continued.

"Sherlock I heard what you said. Why didn't you tell me"? He rolled his eyes. "You think that I could just come up to you and..and say all that"? I nodded in understanding. I kept progressing forward slowly. Sherlock became anxious again and looked to the floor. "Lets drop it John". He spoke through gritted teeth. I was the one starting to get annoyed now. "NO Sherlock". My heart gave another break as an angry tear rolled down his face. "Sherlock-".
"Don't try to fix this. i know you think you can, but you can't". Sherlock spat. "SHERLOCK JUST LISTEN TO ME DAMN IT"! I exploded, fists balled.

He finally fell silent and waited for me anxiously. I sighed "Thank you". I waited for a minute picking out the words I wanted to say. I decided to just go so I did. "Sherlock I dont want to forget this". He seemed suprised but let me continue. I took another breathe. "Sherlock you're always pushing me away and not letting me speak. Never listening to anyone. But your going to listen to me. And please hear....I feel the same way".

Sherlock took a step towards me then. "W-What"? I took in his stutter and gained confidence. "I love you Sherlock Holmes". Before I knew what had happened my breathe was being taken away by Sherlock's lips. I closed my eyes and melted into him, kissing back softly. We slowly took eachothers lips in, relishing in the momment.

"Oh boys"! We wipped around to see a teary eyed Mrs. Hudson at the door. We smiled at eachother as she rushed over crying. "Oh this is FANTASTIC"! She tried to regain herself and cupped both our cheeks. "Ill go make some tea". She sighed and scurried off. We chuckled to ourselves and Sherlock pulled me in and hugged me. "I love you John Watson".
