Ache (слэш)

John Watson is a military veteran, recently returned from Afghanistan, who feels as though his life has lost all meaning. Sherlock Holmes is a struggling drug addict, living on the streets of London, whose dreams were never fully realised due to his habit.
Both of them are just trying to find a way to dull the ache.
When they meet on the evening of January 29th, it's decidedly not by chance. John feels an indescribable urge to take care of this mysterious, beautiful man, so he invites him to stay at his place.
It’s all a bit strange, and yet it feels absolutely natural—as though saving Sherlock is what John is meant to do.
