Sherlock followed the instructions on the letter to the word. He went about a few streets down from 221b and made a left. There was a tall building opposite him and it looked abandoned so he assumed that this was the right place.He went inside and looked around. He heard footsteps behind him and turned around to see who it was

"Holmes"
"Moriarty. Long time...
"No see"
"What do you want?"
"I see you got my letter"
"Your letter?"
"Yes"
"So how did you find out?"
"A little birdy told me"
"Irene"
"She betrayed you Holmes"
"Against her will?"
"More than likely"
"What do you want?"
"I want you to not get involved with my next plan i want you to keep away from me or else"
"What?"
"I will tell your inspector Lestrade and i will make sure that Dr. Watson is the one who they kill so that you will suffer"

Holmes knew by looking into that man eyes that he was serious about it. He couldn't let him hurt John

"So do we have a deal?"
"Yes"
"Give my regards to Dr Watson"

Over the next few months Holmes never told Watson what happened and told him it was a prank made by some kid. Moriarty's plan continued to shatter London. He had blocked off the medicine supplies, He tainted the water and he has started to cause a world war. Holmes knew that he had to sit by and watch this happen. He loved London and he loved to keep people safe but not as much as he loved Watson

"How was work?"
"Terrible"
"How so?"
"I am running out of the drugs and i cannot give people what they need. I seem to have failed every single person in London and there is nothing i can do about it"
"It's not your fault. It's Moriarty's fault. He's the one who has been stopping the supplies it had nothing to do with you"
"I know but i feel helpless"
"I know...I know how you feel"
"Why didn't you stop him?"
"What?"
"Lestrade came round and asked you to help but you declined, why?"
"I felt that after our last encounter i shouldn't be getting involved with Moriarty again who knows what could have happened this time"
"I suppose but..."
"John are you in?"
"In here Mary"
"Why is she here?"
"I forgot we had a date planned this afternoon sorry i was meant to tell you about it"
"Before or after the actual date?"
"John sorry i'm late it's just that ever since war had started breaking out the traffic has been terrible and try not to step out of the house unless absolutely unnecessary"
"I understand"
"You always do"

Mary then leaned in and planted a kiss on John's lips. Holmes then proceeded to move to the other side of the room. John looked over to Holmes who had his back to them. Holmes kept thinking about how he gave up the whole of London for that one man and he was sitting there kissing someone who isn't him. He felt hurt

"Mary why don't you go and try to get us a cab and i will be done in five minutes"
"Okay don't be too long"

Watson watched her leave and then proceeded to make his way over to Holmes

"Holmes? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine Watson"
"Holmes. Please"
"I'm..It's just seeing with Mary i feel upset. I feel that i should be one sitting there with you and going out on dates with you. I should be the one getting the cab and sitting there snuggled up beside you. You have no idea how that makes feel Watson and to think i gave up the whole of Lon...."
"What?"
"Nothing. I have to go"
"Holmes please"

Holmes ran upstairs and went into his bedroom and shut the door and locked it

"Holmes please. Talk to me. What did you mean? Holmes?"

Holmes was on the other side on the door leaning against in while sitting on the floor. He heard Watson go back downstairs

"It meant that I gave up the whole of London to save you..... because i love you"

The next couple of days were hard for Holmes. He couldn't look at Watson and he didn't want to be anywhere near him. Watson was worried about Holmes. He knew he should have called it off with Mary but she was their alibi. He knew he had hurt Holmes badly but he wanted to make it right

"Holmes? You still in there?"
"Yes it's open come in"
"Hi"
"Hi"
"Are you okay?"
"Yes i'm fine. You?"
"Could be better"
"How so?"
"I feel horrible about the way i have been treating you"
"What?"
"You are the one i'm with but i still insist on pretending to be with Mary and kissing her right in front of you. I know she is our alibi but i won't see her anymore if it makes you happy again"
"But won't she get suspicious?"
"What if she does? You are the one i want to be with, just you and only you"
"Well since you put it that way"
"So is that a yes?"
"Yes. Defiantly yes"

Holmes pulled Watson into a kiss then that kiss turned into little pecks as he muttered the word yes over and over again

"So we are officially together?"
"Yes we are"
"Good i'll be glad to get you all to myself"
"Me too but we still have to deal with telling Mary"
"You mean you do"
"What?"
"She's your girlfriend"
"Fine but i think it best if you were not in the room at the time that might make it obvious"
"True now if you'll excuse me"
"Where are you going?"
"I have business to attend to"
"What business?"
"Lestrade wants to meet me so i need to change out of this"
"Okay be careful though you don't know who might be watching you"
"Don't worry i will be"

Watson worried about Holmes and he had right to. Holmes was lying to him. He wasn't going to see Lestrade he was going to Moriarty. He wanted this whole thing to end and there was only one way he could do that
