AND ONE MORE TIME!
#i don’t think it was a prank #i think sherlock wanted it to look like one #because he needed to hear those three simple words #’i forgive you’ #he needed to know #but he had to have a cover to beg for forgiveness #an excuse #because he’s sherlock #boastful cocky sherlock #but he’s also a man who cares about john deeply #and it goes without saying #he loves john and he couldn’t go on without knowing john’s forgiven him
“I forgive” is the Sherlock version of Supernatural’s “I need you”. It all means “I love you” at heart.
