They are just friends and partners, because Sherlock is married to his work and John prefers Beta ladies or Omega ladies, and so on...
Sherlock is on suppressants, but his hormones still do bad things to him during certain days. He becomes particularly unbearable and jealous. John and his ladies get the worst of it. Also, during those days Sherlock wants John to be next to him all the time (ironically, Sherlock becomes less than favourable company even for John). He invents every possible reason why John can't go to work, shopping or anywhere else at all. He pretends to be ill just to make John stay with him. He even bursts into tears. He's so unbearable and possessive that he even tries to follow John to the bathroom to make sure John won't try to leave, or waits for him just near the door and wants John to talk to him the whole time he's in the bathroom. He also checks John's mobile and e-mail and gets all worked up and nervous if there are messages from somebody who wants "to take John away" (and sometimes he deletes some phone numbers from the memory of John's mobile. John is not amused, of course).
In other words, there's a lot of facepalming and exasperated sighing on John's part.
Every time Sherlock's mood goes back to normal afterwards, he's mortified and embarrassed of himself (he does have feelings for John, but maybe he doesn't consciously want to act on them).
Maybe one day Sherlock throws an epic tantrum in a crime scene when he sees some lady looking at John. It's really loud and hysterical.
On the other occasion, he threatens to take John's gun and shoot all of his girlfriends (or/and himself) (he doesn't necessarily mean it, but he can feel like it, and, well... he's a drama queen, as John has already admitted).
John has long had enough of Sherlock's behaviour, so he knows he has to do something. Maybe he even threatens Sherlock with moving out, which, of course, only makes Sherlock terrified and even more clingy.
I'm okay with any kind of ending. Maybe John just learns to put up with Sherlock's hormone-induced moods, or helps him with the individually customised hormone therapy. Or maybe they get together, bond and things get more tolerable. :) All of above is even better!
John/Sherlock (?) Omegaverse. Alpha!John, Omega!Sherlock. Sherlock's hormones get better of him.
