John had been awaiting his friend's fate beside him,braced against the bed. But as Sherlock awoke and rolled over, John jerked up onto his knees, hands hovering over the curled back, trying to assess his newly awakened friend.
"...Are you okay? Is anything numb or painful?"
The chuckle was disconcerting, but in the normal way Sherlock's odd reactions caused, and something in John's gut unknotted just a little bit. His hand brushed feather light against the detective's shoulder, but didn't linger.
"I... honestly didn't think you would wake up." He admitted to the other's back, an apology hidden between the words.
