She looks so happy when she pushes herself up off the couch, when she turns towards him and holds out her hand. Sherlock almost never makes people happy. It's essentially his whole job to find things that run the gamut from upsetting to devastating. That tends to make keeping people at a distance much easier.

But he's not on the job, now. Or, rather, the job is no longer his whole life. There's more to him than work, and this is part of it.

He sits up, takes her outstretched hand, unfolds himself from the couch.

"Just don't put a pillow over my face if I snore," he says, and he's only half joking. (The terrifying thing about intimacy is that it leaves you totally vulnerable to a million different ways someone can murder you, but this is Molly, and she's still smiling.)

Sleep, breakfast, and fooling around (whatever the order of the last two might be) sounds much more human than he's used to, which is, frankly, a nice change.

"And if Toby jumps on me again I'll make him into mittens."
