Summary
A dead butler, an old manor house, things that go bump in the night and a Sherlock/John romance:
For an instant Sherlock regretted that they had a train to catch, but maybe it was better that they did, safer certainly. These evenings with John were never entirely relaxing. He always had to be one step ahead, to read every flicker of expression or gesture. The causal press of hips and shoulders as they sprawled amidst a chaos of papers, maps, mobile phones and cushions seemed to pass unnoticed. A slice of pizza lifted from John’s hand produced a scowl and a half-hearted rebuke. If he had attempted to lick away the sauce that clung in tomato smears to John’s knuckles and the corner of his mouth the reaction would have been explosive though.
Outrage. Apprehension. Even embarrassment. Sherlock could imagine it all in dreary detail. John didn’t. John wasn’t.
Not gay.
