The problem with living with Sherlock, John thought, was that you never, never, ever knew the significance of anything. Like your flatmate's nose buried in your hair. Whilst you're in bed.

The case is a bit... confusing, especially with the skips and POV changes.
The relationship, though, is more of a character study than anything else. Sherlock being Sherlock when approaching a relationship.
Basically, John and Sherlock both have trust issues and struggle with their own selves.
