Fics like You Don't Need to Love Me

Sherlock's school reunion has come up, matched with a retirement party for one of his most influential professors. He's reluctant to go, but his good friend John finally talks him into it by agreeing to go with him for support. “Jesus, Sherlock, it’s just a picture,” John entered the fray with annoyance. Sometimes Sherlock forgot how lucky he was to still have his parents around. Sherlock’s eyes darted to his with an intense look of betrayal, “You are aware that you’re meant to be in the picture with me?” John flushed, because he hadn’t actually thought that was the case, “Why in the world would I be in the picture?” Sherlock sighed heavily, “Because, John, you are my plus one.” And like a ton of bricks falling from the sky to bury him beneath a pile of understanding, John realised what this entire evening was going to look like to outsiders. To Sherlock’s former classmates...the bullies. To the rest of the world, John is Sherlock’s date tonight.
