#HE WANTED TO IMPRESS HIS OLD CLASSMATES WITH HIS FRIEND #HE WANTED TO BE ALL ‘OH SEE HAHAHA I CAN MAKE FRIENDS I’M NOT A COMPLETE SOCIAL RETARD SO NYAAA #BUT THEN JOHN GOES AND RUINS IT AND THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED A BREAK IN THE LINE OF COMMUNICATION

Actually, you know who I think ruins it?  That snide classmate of Sherlock’s, implying that not only is it strange for Sherlock to have a friend but that whoever this other guy is, he must be his gay boyfriend.  And John, insecure from feeling like he has no place in the world ever since returning from war tries to give himself a little bit of credibility by stating he’s a colleague of Sherlock’s.  Also, I think subconsciously John is having a bit of an internal conflict with the whole implied-gay thing because not only is there some intrinsic homophobia in the military, but on some level he’s afraid of it making him seem weak, which is the last thing he ever wants as a perception of him.  Under-the-radar?  Sure.  But never weak.  And then he has a gay sister too, which gives him a bit of guilt for even being uncomfortable at all.  And it all just gets cocked up in miscommunications and unspoken/misspoken dialogue.

I actually like this idea, very much so.

Tagged: but don’t worry, eventually sherlock will realize he has the hots for john, as john is a person is someone he genuinely respects and sherlock can only get it up for people he respects, and john will be weirded out at first but one night they’ll get too drunk and maybe he’ll notice how nice sherlock’s shoulders look in that one shirt, and sherlock will catch john staring at him and they’ll share a long look before john shakes his head and looks away, but that seed will be planted, and months later they’ll be drunk on whiskey again (a gift from a rich client) and sherlock will be dissecting some of john’s past girlfriends, calling them all hopelessly clueless or something and john will get defensive and mention that he hasn’t only liked stupid women okay? he likes smart people too, and sherlock will insist on finding out who this is, but john will be like well this person is at least as smart as you, and sherlock will scoff, as if anyone could be as smart as him, he doesn’t believe it and john tries to change the subject but sherlock won’t drop it, so after three more shots john admits that one time, ONE TIME, he wondered what it would be like to be with sherlock, and sherlock just stares at him for a few seconds and john is uncomfortable under his gaze, and just as john gets up and starts to walk away a bit wobbly and saying ‘forget i ever said anything’ sherlock will say ‘alright let’s do it’, and john will turn around slowly and ask ‘do what exactly?’, and sherlock will say ‘have sex’ in the most matter-of-fact way, he’ll reason that they’re both curious and they’re friends right?, john nods his head slowly trying to get his cloudy brain to wrap around this concept, and sherlock continues, ‘well friends should be able to do these sorts of things for each other without it getting too complicated. and who better to have an uncomplicated relationship with than your best friend? besides one time with a guy doesn’t make you gay for life. i mean honestly john really’, and they’ll go to the bedroom taking the whiskey with them and maybe they’ll only manage some awkward frotting before john comes to quickly from all the build up and sherlock will be stuck there still hard, and he’ll turn away to go to sleep but john will notice and feel guilty and ask ‘oh wait what about you?’, but sherlock will just say ‘oh it’s nothing. nothing i haven’t dealt with before.’, and john’s eyes will go wide ‘you have?’ he asks, and sherlock responds ‘well honestly john i AM a man. i HAVE had an erection before.’, and john will be like ‘well here let me take care of it then’.
