Look at his face.. Just look at it. Sherlock is close to hyperventilating. He’s closing his eyes and taking deep breaths to calm himself down and slow his heart beat because he cannot focus when he’s nervous/frightened… He is actually having to force himself to be the brilliant Sherlock and not give in to his emotions. The reason he’s like this? Because people threatened to shoot John if he didn’t help them. Sherlock may care about Irene and Molly and Lestrade and Mrs Hudson… but he loves John. I don’t mean love in the sexual way either. I mean it in the purest, most sincere, most powerful form of love around. He’s absolutely nothing without his blogger, he may not need John to fool people into thinking he’s dead but he needs John in so many other ways and would be absolutely lost without him. (I’m sure people have said this much more articulately than me but I’m in a TALK ABOUT THINGS mood so I regret nothing for this essay-style comment)
