I have a mighty need to know why no one is talking about this extremely telling moment in HLV. (x)

John looks painfully insecure, confused, hurt, uncomfortable, and in that final frame, ready to push Janine down the stairs.

This is the man who, just hours before, woke up from dreaming about Sherlock, was rude to a neighbor because she wasn’t Sherlock, broke into a crack den, and beat up a junkie… all because he hadn’t seen Sherlock for a single month. He’s obviously missed him like crazy and got the ultimate slap in the face when he perceives that Sherlock didn’t miss him at all (because of Sherlock moving his chair out of the room) and has, in fact, moved on. 

Everyone take note that this is how Captain John H. Watson looks when he thinks he is losing the person he loves but refuses to be with. This is how he looks when he thinks no one is looking.

All of this. That’s what you get for marrying someone else, John. You get to swallow down your jealousy because you’re the one who made the choice to not be allowed to be jealous.
