[The smile grows, strengthened into something genuine and sad as he hears that sob, this time going back in for a hug yet again, but more for Sherlock's benefit.]

...The one thing that I was given, in my life...was a deep appreciation for family, regardless of where it comes from.

I truly...mean it, Sherlock. You are the only man who could ever match me, and...well. Though it's been...an odd, long journey...through it all, we still found each other again.

...And perhaps, now....we can be something other than enemies, than detective and criminal.

[He pauses, tears slipping down his own face again as he reflexively tightens his hold on his twin.]

...Perhaps....we can finally just be ourselves.

[Sherlock leans into it, feeling those new sobs bubbling out of him. How long has it been since someone that wasn't a child hugged him, or that he cried like this?

Family... the word didn't have the same meaning since he ran that test, of how things were hidden from him and unsure of what from them he could even trust anymore. Somehow... James' word, he can believe this.

They did find each other, all this time, just missing each other and then now]

Ourselves...

[He repeats, to step out of the box they put themsleves]

We'll see what sort of people we are-

[He stiffens as a sound that sounds suspiciously like a hiccough forced itself out, no doubt induced by the cry fest]
