(here’s a bit of h/c, i hope you feel better soon!) sometimes, john wakes from a nightmare and knows right away that it will be incredibly difficult to get back to sleep. for nights like these, he and sherlock have a little routine. sherlock will sit up in bed with john and help calm him down, rub a soothing hand on his back, make sure his breathing has gone back to normal. (p1)
(p2) and then sherlock will set up a makeshift bed for john on the sofa, making it as warm and comfortable as possible so as not to aggravate john’s shoulder, and after john is settled under the covers, sherlock will make john a cup of tea, put on a romantic comedy, and sit with him for a little while, just to keep an eye on him and keep him company until he falls asleep.
Thank you! 💕 this helps a little, and is so nice. I love caring Sherlock.
