Sherlock tries to quantify love

[anonymous]

Sherlock isn't sure what love is. He's seen people who claimed to have killed for love etc, but he doesn't know if he can apply it to himself. He thinks he probably loves mummy and Mycroft, because they're family, but what about someone else?

He needs advice, and so asks Mrs Hudson. She patiently explains that when you love/are in love you
1. Miss this person constantly
2. Feel responsible for them
3. Sacrifice your time for this person, do things so that they feel happy
4. You're aware of their flaws but you don't mind
5. You stop being selfish

And then Sherlock realises... He already does that for someone. And he lives with him.

Bonus points: John is dating someone when Sherlock comes to his realisation

S/J happy ending would be lovely
