Summary: And that was when John realized that Stamford hadn't told him the name of the man who had also remarked to him that he was looking for a roommate to go halves with him on rooms available for rent on Baker Street.
Author's Notes: Warnings, AU (childhood).
Sherlock briefly wondered where his step-brother John was right at that moment, as he set up everything he needed for his experiment.
Of course, that was presuming his step-brother had been one of the few to survive the disastrous battle at Maiwand. Sherlock didn't even know that, though it was quite likely that Mycroft knew. But Sherlock hadn't even cared enough to ask him about the current whereabouts of John Watson.
Sherlock pushed away all thoughts of the doctor as he began his experiment.

John followed Stamford into the lab, which was inhabited by a single person, a thin, wiry man bent over a row of test tubes.
John was struck by how familiar the man appeared to be, how much the man reminded him of his step-brother, Sherlock Holmes. And that was when John realized that Stamford hadn't told him the name of the man who had also remarked to him that he was looking for a roommate to go halves with him on rooms available for rent on Baker Street.
Any further thoughts John may have had on the matter were sent flying as the man turned to face the newcomers to gleefully inform them of his experiment's success.
"Sherlock!?" exclaimed John in surprise, even as Sherlock cried his name in twin surprise.
Stamford just looked on at the two men, a huge smirk on his face the only indication that he had known the two had known each other before he'd brought them back together.
