Fill: Safe 1/3

[snowishness]

John cannot fathom how Sherlock is getting enough sleep to continue to function, or whatever passes for functioning in Sherlock's world. John knows he himself would do better if he didn't wear himself into a state of exhaustion every evening; unfortunately his nightmares make anything else impossible. John doesn't know if Sherlock has nightmares of his own, but every time a nightmare wakes him John can hear Sherlock, still moving, still wearing a hole in the floor with the strength of his thoughts

The next time a nightmare wakes him, John thinks he could easily fall back to sleep, but he can hear Sherlock pacing and can't help but think that Sherlock wanted him as an observer for his sleepwalking

The next time that John wakes to find Sherlock in his room Sherlock's eyes are alert, darting over every detail of John's room. John wonders what he sees.

"You're sure I come here?"

"Positive," John says.

Sherlock leaves without saying anything further, after one last glance around John's room.

"I need your help," Sherlock says the next morning.

"Yes?" John says. He knows far better than to agree without hearing the proposition.

"I need you to sleep in my bed tonight."

John considers. "And where would you sleep?" John isn't sure if he'd rather Sherlock sleep in the bed with him or somewhere else.

"Either the sofa or your own bedroom. I don't want to intrude."

John can't help but be amused at the thought of him sleeping in Sherlock's bed while Sherlock sleeps on the couch. "You can sleep in my bed, it's fine." It's more than fine, actually. "Why are we doing this?"

Sherlock just grins fiercely, challenging John to try to wheedle an answer out of him. John doesn't think he'd be very successful.

John lies in Sherlock
