DO YOU SEE THIS??? HMMMMmm
Look at how gentle John is being when Sherlock is holding his hand. Look at how perfectly their hands are together. Even though in this scene, John is extremely mad at Sherlock and upset with him, just look at how relaxed his hands are, being held with such care and gentleness as if they would break at the touch of a finger. Sherlock has completely given in to John's hands, observing his arm for scars and bruises. Sherlock rests his thumb on the John's hand and John's thumb wraps around Sherlock's hand, yes of course he could very well be holding it for support but why would Sherlock need it? The way that they're holding hands just makes me feel all the feeeeeels. This scene might have a deeper meaning. Sherlock did not need to let Johns hand into his but he did and he consciously held it. Sherlock missed John so much that maybe the touch of John's warm hand would make him feel something other than pain. Sherlock needs John to feel human, to feel emotion and to calm himself down. Yes, it all could be for naught and this post very likely is useless and silly but this could have a deeper meaning. Sherlock craved John's attention and wanted him back but John didn't want to see Sherlock so Sherlock reverted to drugs, yet when he is given, what he believes, could be the only chance to know what it feels like to hold John's hand and to be in the present, with John and not in his head, to be living in this second, consciously thinking about the feeling of Johns hand. This also could just be the holding of hands for the only purpose and only meaning of --- John knowing that Sherlock is constantly addicted and Sherlock is just letting it happen, but sometimes these things could mean more, or seem to mean more and maybe weren't supposed to mean more.
Anyway thank you for taking the time to read this (for those of you that did) and please do keep in mind that I understand that this is more than likely just a scene like any other with no deep meaning but this is just what I interpreted from the scene and the way everything went down here.
Now carry on with your moving like Jagger and your bippity-boppity-booing. EDIT: THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR 1000 NOTES IT MEANS SO MUCH ❤❤ So much love for all of you x
