I'm crying over here, but it's a beautiful sort of tears.

My favorite part (and I hate to say this because it sounds like I haven't read the whole thing, but I did! I swear!) is this: Before standing and leaving, there is another thing that catches his eye. His left hand loosens its grip around his arm, gently trails down his forearm and pauses over Sherlock’s palm. He traces the words scribbled onto Sherlock’s skin with his finger tip, his smile slowly growing as he nears the end of the sentence.

* Remember to tell John I love him

John licks his lips before bringing his thumb to his mouth, moistening it and then lowering it back to Sherlock’s hand. He rubs the ink gently, enough to smudge the words so they can’t be read. He doesn’t need or want Sherlock to say it for the first time solely because he’s written it down. Call him old fashioned, but John would rather Sherlock say it as it comes to mind, earnestly. John leans down once more to press a lighter kiss to Sherlock’s hand, pulling back when Sherlock’s hand flexes and he closes his fingers into his palm.

Call him old fashioned, but John trusts the detective to do it right. Because he loves Sherlock too.

So, so powerful. Such a wonderful little look into how I truly, truly feel John and Sherlock's relationship works. It's just perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Thanks for sharing this <3
