"REALLY SHERLOCK?! REALLY?! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU SO INSENSITIVE?!" John's voice was heard through the whole flat. 

Sherlock winced. He quickly looked at John confused. "Sorry what?" He questioned his flat mate. John's face turned red " you fucking know what I mean. BLOODY HELL SHERLOCK! TELLING MOLLY THAT HER BOYFRIEND IS HAVING AN AFFAIR?!" John yelled at Sherlock.

Sherlock stood frozen. Scared. Sad. Overwhelmed.

"I- I didn't know that was insensitive- I thought it was nice-" Sherlock spoke confused. 

John only got angrier. But soon his anger faded as he quickly realized that Sherlock was shaking a bit. His face was still blank but he was shaking. 

"Well for your information it was insensitive." John replied sternly.

Sherlocks face twisted into an uncomfortable expression before his eyes started to water. John looked at Sherlock concerned. "I- I- I'm SoRry I dIdNt mean- it-" Sherlock chocked on his own sobs.

He quickly covered his ears and turned around to hide his face from John. John sighed and paled. He had never seen Sherlock this upset.

John sighed before he shook his head took some steps forward. Before he knew it he was hugging Sherlock from the behind. 

"Sherlock I'm sorry for yelling at you.. I know it's hard for you." John's voice was sad and laced with concern.

Sherlock then spoke "no you're right- I- I should've known- but know my stupid autistic self decided to not think about it!" Sherlock was sobbing. John sighed an tightened his grip around Sherlock.

"Sherlock look at me." John ordered the younger but he just shook his head. John groaned and let go of Sherlock before grabbing his waist and turning him to look at John.

Sherlocks face flushed. "Look. It's not your fault. I know it's hard for you to know whats insensitive and what's not. And don't blame your autism. Honestly. It's no-" John was cut off by Sherlock pecking his lips.

John froze and looked at Sherlock confused as he felt the blush rise to his cheeks. Sherlock looked panicked.

"Oh-OH- John. John. John- I am so so so so sorry I- I didn't mean to- I- I panicked!" Sherlock rambled as he felt John's hands tighten around his waist. John then pressed his lips against Sherlock's and heard a squek. 

John pulled away and looked at the flushed Sherlock who had his hands to his mouth at this point and his knees were going weak.

So it was a good thing John reacted quick when Sherlock almost collapsed. John looked at Sherlock who he was holding tightly against his armpits. 

Sherlock looked at John and gave him a little smiled. John chuckled as he dragged Sherlock to the couch and let Sherlock curl up to him.

The two of them spent the rest of the day cuddling and kissing.
