Because he loves you, idiot.
#You know #just #fucking #this kills me every time #and all I can think of Florence’s song No Light No Light #because this really is the silence in between what John thought and what he said #the silence is Sherlock #that space is Sherlock #there is an overwhelming presence of Sherlock that takes John over #and he obviously can’t bring himself to process it and act on it and say anything #even if it’s just that Sherlock is his best friend #we always talk about how Sherlock can’t deal with emotions #but it’s obvious that John can’t either #he’s brave and he’s tough and he’s a soldier #but when it comes to telling the one man who means the world to him #the truth about their friendship #their relationship#he can’t face the situation #not necessarily out of fear #or anxiety #perhaps out of doubt #doubt that Sherlock would be willing to understand #or rather would be willing to let go of his inhibitions and acknowledge a relationship not built off Sherlock having a sidekick #because John probably knows that Sherlock has never had a friend like John #and neither of them really know what to say #because even while they are so different #they are so very very alike #in the end they were both alone#both outcasts #they needed that unspoken silence
“Those things that you wanted to say… but didn’t say them.”
That was this.
Oh dear lord, right in the feels. Why do we do this (or is it just me), why do we say things we shouldn’t and not say the things we should?
