It hasn't been long since John had moved in with Sherlock but he had to admit despite Sherlock’s constant shenanigans the apartment was an overall nice and quiet place to stay- at least that’s what John thought before today.
“Fucking asshole! Give it back before I cut your dick off!”
That was what John had woken up to that morning. He had jerked upward in his bed half asleep and half-naked. The shouting had continued and in a sleep-deprived haze, he had stumbled out of his bed quickly making his way to sherlock and the stranger’s voice. John was worried that someone had come into their home with ill intent and was ready for the fight of his life.
Instead what he got was an annoyed-looking man standing in front of Sherlock as Sherlock hid an oddly shaped item in his hands dodging every attempt the man-made to grab the item from him. “I swear to fucking god Sherlock- “ he said lunging at the brunette before successfully tackling him to the ground. A bright smile shone on his face as he turned to run away but he didn't get far as Sherlock grabbed his ankle bringing him crashing to the wooden floors with a painful thump. Sherlock walked over the winded man before once again grabbing the piece of what John now assumed was cloth after getting a better look at it.
“I don't think so [Y/n]. You’ve been wearing it since early afternoon- yesterday. Time for a break!” John watched confused as Sherlock tried to walk away with the piece of cloth only for the man on the floor to latch onto his ankle also tripping him.
It was at this moment that John decided whatever was happening had gone on for long enough “What in God's name is happening?” he half-shouted catching both of the men's attention. “John catch!” Sherlock said throwing the cloth to John who barely managed to catch it. “Quickly go hide it while I hold him back!” Sherlock said the man struggled to stand Sherlock’s arms now clinging around him in a vice grip as he thrashed angrily. ‘Bastardddd-!” John heard as he left the room rubbing his forehead in exasperation.
