Sherlock’s face when he thinks John was hitting on him in A Study in Pink. He has this sudden realization and you can see it all on his face - wait a second, he asked about a boyfriend twice because… he was coming on to me. He’s trying to go out with me.

And then he lets John down really gently. That’s pretty out of character for him in this moment - he’s busy with a case, he’s already shown himself to be abrasive and rude, he’s still in that process of becoming a “good man”, yet he lets John down with kind words and a soft voice.
