I think I love you.

John stares.

He stares because his brain seems to have shut down and he can't think of anything else to do but stare.

He stares with a gaping mouth and almost panicked eyes until Sherlock's grip tightens on John's upper arms and he shakes him, ever so slightly.

"John."

John blinks and shakes his head.

"That's not what you said." He sounds distant and unsure, his head turning to stare at Sherlock suspiciously from the corners of his widened eyes.

"Mmmfnnurgl?"

"John,"

"Mmmsleeping. Shhh,"

"JOHN,"

Something in John's sleep-clouded brain clicked, and his eyelids opened with a snap.

"Sherlock,"

"Yes, John?"
