Chapter Text
John had run out of money again, having never been any good at managing it. This time though he'd actually paid bills and bought some things he needed rather than gamble it all away. Having his bank card rejected in ASDA had been the final straw. He found himself so desperate he asked Sherlock to help him out. So Sherlock took him to the bank.
"This is my friend John Watson." Sherlock said to Sebastian.
"Colleague." John had insisted, taking Sebastian's hand and shaking it firmly. Sherlock hoped the hurt hadn't shown on his face in that instant. But he could feel it chilling him to the bone. Rejection.
Later they returned to Baker Street to look up Van Coon in the phone book. Sherlock wrote the address in his note book.
"John, this thing.." Sherlock motioned to John with his hand. "Isn't working between us. It's distracting me from my work." John's mouth hung open. He hadn't been expecting that.
"What?" John said shocked. They'd only been together for a few weeks and hadn't even touched each other since the filming, save for one night cuddled up in each others arms.
"I don't love you." Sherlock said his heart breaking.
"Right." John replied forcing his emotions down inside. He wasn't gay after all, it was just hormones and crazy sex. He didn't love Sherlock Holmes.
"Come on then." Sherlock said dashing out of the door. John wiped away a tear he didn't know was there. He definitely didn't love Sherlock Holmes.
