sherlockisms
Jan. 1st, 2011 06:17 pmIt had been a few pretty spectacular days.
His life was falling back into place so very neatly and so much better than before. His flatmate is still amazing and brilliant and cold, but they have fun. John sees him as a best mate, though he doubts he'll ever tell Sherlock that. He doesn't want to be risked getting laughed at. Having a girlfriend again suits him, too. It's more than the kissing or the companionship. Sarah's normal. Sarah's good for him. She survived being part of a Chinese acrobatic troupe's show and still wants to see him! It was enough to leave John giddy.
It's like the best of both worlds and John's holding onto both parts tightly.
He's off from work early today and Sarah's gone to see her parents. She asked John along, but he declined. "Too early," they both decided together and laughed about it. John went to the bakery instead and after a quick stop off to offer Mrs. Hudson a pastry, it's right upstairs to Sherlock.
John's been bringing home all sorts of things lately, knowing that Sherlock will turn his nose up at them likely, but it's a bit of a game for John. He'll find the person thing soon!
"Sherl--"
The needle on the table makes him stop. The limp arm hanging off of the sofa makes him balk.
"Bloody-- Sherlock!"
