Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
You look sad .. when you think he can’t see you.
oh god. He said he’s no hero, but he tries to be anyway, for John. John needs to see him as a brilliant detective, always with an answer, dispassionate and yet sometimes inappropriately excited. But Sherlock just can’t let John see him being weak or sad.
While he doesn’t care a bit about what other people think about him, Sherlock desperately needs John to exalt him, idealize him, and…worship him, in some way.
Through this, through John, Sherlock has become more…human.
