Yes another addition to the bandwaggon! Sherlock spoilers, you know how it goes

[goodforhim]

I agree with you, I think this is going to be good for him. Sherlock being back. Not as good for him as I am, of course but then that goes without saying.

[Mary raises an eyebrow slightly.]

And I know you're not feeling 100% and you're lazy but would it kill you to make me more than the one icon I have? It's not hard to find screencaps. Thank you.

Nothing is as good for me as you are. But I didn't have to tell you that.

[goodforhim]

(See this smile? It's all for you John Watson and no one else. And now for some light teasing.)

Well, I do try. But no you don't need to tell me that. I'm not saying that it's nice to hear it though. Maybe you could tell me a little more often.

[you_dont_work_alone]

More often? How's every day for the rest of your life?

[goodforhim]

Every day, huh? That doesn't sound too bad at all.

Is that a promise?

[you_dont_work_alone]

Absolutely.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

You're not... a complete idiot. I'll give you that.

And I am grateful for... [He clears his throat nervously and makes an awkward gesture.]

[goodforhim]

No? Well, I'm flattered. You're not a complete idiot yourself despite your complete lack of knowledge of human nature.

(She's teasing of course. Sherlock is the last person anyone would call an idiot...when it comes to most things anyway. She raises one brow at his next comment but the small smile is still there and she nods her head.)

For everything? You're welcome.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Well, you did figure out that it was a skip-code and wasted no time coming to me. That was... Good. ... Probably saved his life, in fact.

[God, he's rubbish at this. He knows he is, but he hates it being so obvious. But, her last comment earns her "The Look™"]

No. ... I mean... With John.

[With everything ha! Don't get cocky, Mary, that's Sherlock's job.]

[goodforhim]

Well, now John has two people looking out for him. It just...made sense to come to you. I was scared but I knew you would know what to do.

(And he did, thank God. Oh, the first time she's getting The Look. What a privilege. She'll be getting plenty more of them, I'm sure. To be honest, that's kind of what she meant by 'everything' but if he wants to be picky...)

Yes, I know what you meant Sherlock. And you're still welcome.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock looks her over again. Reassessing the information he gathered on her before.]

People don't like me.

[Meaning, he knows Mary likes him and he doesn't understand why.]

[acclimatize]

It does go without saying but it's nice to have it said.

[goodforhim]

It is nice to have it said, you're right.

[There's a pause as Mary smiles at John, tilting her head to the side a little. She wants to hear it from your lips, John. Just because.] Come on, let's hear it then.

[acclimatize]

[ That makes him laugh and he's grinning as he says it. ]

You are the best thing that's happened to me, Miss Mary Morstan.

[goodforhim]

[She laughs a little herself as she hears those words, nodding her head.]

Mmm, I know. And I'll never get tired of hearing it either. Maybe I should get that printed on a t-shirt. What do you think?

[acclimatize]

[ He leans in and steals a little kiss. ]

I got a better idea.

[ But then he holds up a hand, making it seem like a grand gesture. ]

Don't ask what it is. It's a surprise.

[ Having something like that engraved on the inside of of her wedding ring was going to cost a bit of money but he was willing to pay it off in installments if he had to. ]

[sherlocklives]

[You're still a mystery to him, Mary Morstan, but Sherlock will figure you out... one of these days.]

The laziness of these mundanes has no limits, I'm afraid.

And he did shave his mustache off for me, you know.

[goodforhim]

[And she still likes you Sherlock Holmes. No matter what you say to her.]

No? Well, she did manage to listen to me...kind of. Then of course she went back to being as lazy as ever so it didn't last very long at all. We can always hope though.

[She'll smile a little at that. Sorry, John.] I suppose I should thank you for that. I'm not sure when I would have plucked up the courage to tell him I didn't like it.

[silverfoxy]

It's good for John all around, innit? He's got his best friend back from the grave, just in time for the wedding. Looking forward to that, by the way.

[He frowns a bit, a thought occurring to him.] John isn't thinking about making Sherlock his best man or anything, is he?

[goodforhim]

Well, it hasn't always been that way. But of course you know that as well as anyone. I'm glad things have turned around for him, he deserves it. [She smiles at that] Oh trust me, I'm looking forward to it too and we're happy you can make it.

...I think that's a question you'll have to ask John.

[But...yes. The answer is probably yes.]

[silverfoxy]

Thank you for the invitation. John's a good bloke, yeah, and I'm happy for the both of you.

Yeah. Sherlock just isn't exactly what I'd consider... bestman material. I can't imagine what the stag night will be like... and the bestman speech. Huh. [He frowns, getting lost in his thoughts for a moment, of the horror it might be. But Lestrade shakes himself, and puts on a bit smile for her.] I'm sure it will be a lovely wedding.

[goodforhim]

Of course! Besides, there's not many people coming on my side of the church, we wanted to invite as many people as possible. [She's teasing, obviously. You're a good friend of John's Greg, don't let anyone tell you any different!] And thank you, Greg.

That wouldn't stop John asking him though, I'm afraid. At least it will be interesting? Oh and I'm sure there will be some kind of drama, there always is at weddings. At least that's what I'm told, I haven't really been to many of them myself.

[silverfoxy]

Well, I'm sure it will be a great wedding. Maybe Sherlock will even behave himself for once.

[wealldosillythings]

I'm so glad the truth's all out in the open now and Sherlock's name is clear.

He wasn't too mean to you, I hope?

[goodforhim]

Me too, Molly. Me too.

[Mary hasn't known Molly for very long but she likes the girl already. I mean what's not to like, she seems sweet. She'll laugh a little at her last comment, shaking her head.]

No different to how he treats everyone else, I'm sure. But I like him.

[wealldosillythings]

Oh, I bet that threw John for a loop! He's so used to having to cheerlead for Sherlock with wom- er, everyone.
