A/N: So, I don't own Sherlock or BBC or anything really, and this is the closest I'll ever get… Please review! They get fed to plot bunnies and then they multiply, so the more the better!

It had started innocently enough. Once evening when Sherlock was out of nicotine patches, he got very frustrated and couldn't think properly. John walked in and Sherlock started yelling. Starting with trivial stuff and growing until he let it slip, the true cause of his frustration: His love for John. The second the confession left his lips Sherlock froze, violin bow clattering from his hand. John was ecstatic to see an emotion other than frustration from his flat mate. They stared at each other for a good minute.

John replied, 'I love you, too, Sherlock' before walking out, leaving Sherlock staring at the door.

They were in a relationship. Sherlock Holmes and John Watson were in a relationship. They tried to keep it a secret, but there were little changes that DI Lastrade and Mrs. Hudson picked up on. Everyone already thought they were together, they simply stopped denying it. They were in a relationship. Yeah, not a physical (*Cough, cough* sexual) relationship, but it was a relationship all the same.

It wasn't perfect, It wasn't traditional, but it was theirs. And that was all they needed.

Maybe one day, they'll actually kiss.
