Summary
“Hello there, gorgeous,” John murmurs, warm and fond. “I’ve missed you.”
Sherlock reaches into the pocket of his dressing gown and pulls out his collar. The metal hardware jingles as he drops it in John’s lap and waits.
John’s fingers in his hair grow still. John picks up the collar and inhales. Exhales.
“Sweetheart. After what you’ve just been through...I don’t know if this the kind of thing we should--”
Something spikes in Sherlock’s chest. It’s hard to breathe past it.
“John,” he says, fighting hard to keep his voice even, “surely you’re not so stupid that you can’t parse the profound psychological difference between what we do and actually being forcibly imprisoned.”
