   Summary

   "If you truly adore his guts immensely, you should just sweep the other man out of the picture and make yourself his number one." The younger's naivete resurfaced with such blatant sentiment, earning a light chuckle from his math tutor.

   "You really are young.” William reminded him, seemingly tickled by Sherlock's childishness, "He means the most to me–enough reason for me to avoid doing things he would hate me for."

    

   And that led Sherlock into a trance. In this instance, he's beginning to realize that William has this unfaltering consideration towards his brother. The emotions he pours for him are perfectly authentic and pure, and full of devotion to the point he'd never contemplate about engaging in deeds Mycroft would detest. He treats him softly, dearly like a life source, brimming with reverence and love. However, Mycroft would only see him as his most trusted friend and nothing more. It…

   It hurts. Sherlock hasn't got the foggiest idea why on earth he's actually hurting on his behalf.
