Without you (Slight JohnLock One Shot)

John sat in his chair with one of his cream jumpers on, his calm grey blue eyes looking at the empty chair in front of him.

It had been a few months after Sherlock had jumped off the building, the images of that day haunted John every night. John would wake himself up by shouting the last thing Sherlock heard him say.

221b was silent this Christmas, no parties, no cases mainly because John stopped doing them after Sherlock died because he said "It just doesn't feel right to do a case by myself". Everyone at the police station understood Johns decision, even Anderson.

A sad laugh echoed through the empty flat as John thought back to the last Christmas they spent together. They were still working on a case where people were being found in elf costumes across London, it had Sherlock baffled for a few days until Christmas when he finally worked it out. However he insisted that he could text Lestrade the details so John wouldn't spend the day alone.

John was snapped out of the flashback when he heard Mrs Hudson knocking softly at the door.

"I am sorry if I was disturbing anything but this came through the letter box down stairs" She said quietly and handed the envelope to John "I will be downstairs if you need me" with that she left.

John stared at the envelop for a minute and saw that it was addressed to him but he couldn't think of anyone who would send him a card or even deliver it today. He opened to find the card had an elf on the front of it.

The inside:

To John,

I'm sorry I couldn't be with you this Christmas. I really did not want things to be like this but you don't always get what you want.
I wrote this card the beginning of the year so I am not sure if you will reading this and I will still be sitting there in front of you. If I'm not there, try not to miss me too much but I know I will miss you.

Sherlock      


A single tear ran down Johns cheek, he got up from his chair and placed the Christmas card on the mantel for any visitors to see.

John placed the present and card he got for Sherlock on Sherlock's chair, with the hope that when he got up in the morning it wouldn't be there so he knew Sherlock was still alive.
Sherlock and the rest of the cast belong to BBC and Moffat
Just wanted to try this out, not sure how it has turned out but hopefully it is okay :)
There are probably mistakes.
Set after series 2 and before series 3 so spoilers if you haven't seen series 2
