    Summary

    Every now and again, in moments like these, he considers leaving them here and removing himself, as he found himself doing after Sherlock died.

    It's these 2 am times when he can't help but wonder why, even after those years, he can't let go of leaving, but finds comfort in the concept of leaving here. It chews on him, like a parasite to his neck, slowly sucking his consciousness away, leaving him to clutter himself with thoughts that do not relate to who he is or where he is.

    ---

    Six months after what John recalls as "Sherrinford", he finds himself unable to cope with living alone. He moves back into 221b with Rosie, resulting in him and Sherlock slowly falling back into a semi-domestic lifestyle. After a while, though, both men find themselves being closer than they ever could be before.
