mild-lunacy:lemmonysnippets:sherlock-undercover:His reaction is so adorable. You can see the moment his face softens in the 3rd gif.Oh my god. He doesn’t even know where he is or what’s just happened any more. He’s literally staring at the most competent and remarkable man he’s ever known. Yes, his hand is still pressed against the wound as per John’s instructions but you can not only see him going from “what the hell no” to “oh fine I’ll do it because it’s you” in the third gif. You also see him going from “I’ll do this for you” to “I’d do anything for you, you utterly remarkable human being” in the last one. The thing is, Sherlock is *studying* John. He’s got his serious, attentive face on, a little lost in his focus, except the focus is on John. Naturally, Sherlock’s version of being starry-eyed is treating John as if he’s a crime scene. He’s probably busy cataloging every tiny little thing about John’s fingers and voice and manner. If you had his inner monologue, it’d probably sound pretty normal, pretty dispassionate— or Sherlock would have noticed himself going off the rails.But he’s not. This is work— John’s work. And Sherlock is so caught up in it, he doesn’t remember that he’d been scoffing seconds before, since he’s a Consulting Detective (the Only One in the World), after all. John, too, is the only one in the world. The only John in the world. He must be studied properly.…and since John is busy being competent, he doesn’t even see Sherlock’s focus and admiration. He only sees Sherlock protesting his instruction to be nurse. John doesn’t notice that Sherlock thinks he is so remarkable and worthwhile and deserving of everything. -- source link
