i love the relationship sherlock and rosie are going to have because john is always going to be rosie’s dad and you’re bound to have awkward conversations with your dad about your feelings and all that stuff as you grow older but the sentimental conversations rosie is going to have with sherlock are on a totally different level, just, i think rosie will be so much more comfortable opening up to sherlock about certain things, just imagine sherlock and 14 year-old rosie sharing a tub of strawberry ice cream in the kitchen in the evening, and sherlock knows there’s something wrong, nothing terrible, just, something happened in school around lunch time, judging by the sweatshirt rosie is wearing and she’s currently overthinking things and feeling a bit miserable, so he nudges her gently until she tells him that her best friend marissa has a boyfriend now, and it’s just… everyone has boyfriends and girfriends all of a sudden and it’s all anyone ever talks about but rosie has never been in love and she really doesn’t have a crush on anyone (apart from marissa maybe a little bit but just a tiny little bit and this makes all of this even worse) and she’s just worried that there might be something wrong with her because all of this is so alien and strange to her at the moment? and sherlock tells her that she’s being ridiculous, some people fall in love later in life and some people never fall in love at all (”look at mycroft, he was born without the sentiment part of the hippocampus region but our parents kept him anyway”) and that’s fine because you don’t need romance to be complete as a person anyway. apart from that, some people are late bloomers, and it’s pointless to beat oneself up about this at age 14,some people still haven’t figured them out at 45, and sherlock himself fell in love for the first time in his thirties, for god’s sake. and rosie eats her ice cream thoughtfully for a few minutes and then asks, “dad was the first person you ever fell in love with? really?” and sherlock says, “well, properly, yes.” and rosie eyes him and says, “you never even had a crush before?” and sherlock mumbles, “well. maybe, depends on how you define–” and rosie’s just like “come on, sherlock, tell me, it isn’t embarrassing when it’s not about dad, just tell me who your first crush was” and sherlock contemplates for exactly 15 seconds, licks his last bit of ice cream off his spoon and blushes a little and says, “pierce brosnan” and rosie laughs her ass off and feels so much better
