#just the way john’s looking at him right here #that concern #sherlock would never admit to or acknowledge or even admit that he could be on the edge of falling apart #or cracking under pressure #but john knows him and he’s better at spotting those fraying edges where things are unraveling #it’s why he’ll never understand why sherlock didn’t take him with him #he would have given up everything just as sherlock did #and he would have been there to keep those fraying edges from coming completely undone and leaving sherlock dying or dead #he knows he’s never held him back and he knows he’s good for sherlock even when it comes to his work #conductor of light and all of that #so it’s got to be fucking infuriating when you’re so protective of someone it shows on your face #every fucking time you look at them #and he robs you of the chance to protect him
