This is truly gorgeous. There's such a sense of safety and comfort, it's a delight to read it. And kudos to John for the way he reacted :)
He’s been hesitant to question it partly because he likes that Sherlock is so comfortable with him. He likes that Sherlock trusts him, trusts that John won’t reject him, or read more into it than he means, or succumb to the social pressure that says this isn’t normal. It isn’t normal. Sherlock isn’t normal. John is beginning to realise he himself isn’t so normal, and more importantly, that he doesn’t want to be.
Brilliant, and absolutely perfect.
Thank you very much for sharing. *adds to memories*
