“You’re dying,” Lestrade says, nonchalant, and John can’t help but blink.
“Everyone is dying,” he shoots back, watching Sherlock dance around the crime scene.
“But you…” A pause, barely there. Collecting his thoughts. “You’re dying quicker than most.”
John grits his teeth, taking a silent slow breath. “Am I?”
Sherlock lets out an ecstatic shout, clearly about to go gallivanting off any second. Lestrade places a brief hand on John’s shoulder, meeting the younger man in the eye.
“You need to let him go, John. Because he will kill you. I know you think you can change him but… you just can’t.”
A small, breathy chuckle escapes from John’s slightly parted lips.
“You don’t know him like I do, Inspector,” he says politely as he can. “There’s nothing I need to change, just a few things I need to bring out.”
And he smiles and walks away, following the mad genius detective out the door.
((This was actually meant to be Jim/John but take it any way you like.))
