...You really have no idea what you're getting yourself into, do you? I mean, you realize there are two of them to deal with?






Oh, don't look so gleeful. I--


No! No, it is not "double the fun"...! Lord help me, I'm surrounded by lunatics...

[Though, he did say 'reading them again' so that should be something.]

Indeed.

[canenotneeded]

[Oh, it is. Don't think John's missed it]

I'm surprised you'd even bother.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[He checks a few texts, then pockets his mobile and sighs, a bit bored.]

Bother with what?

[canenotneeded]

Looking up those entries again.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[He shrugs.]

First of all, you're right I don't retain it, but you're wrong too. I bother because it's great to get you excited over them.

[canenotneeded]

I can't tell if you're being serious or if that's your lovely sarcasm bleeding through again.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Which is why I'm the Consulting Detective and you live with me.

[It's both, John. Why does the world operate in absolutes when sometimes the answer is both.]

[canenotneeded]

[You are probably the only person he knows that can get away with so many contradictions, Sherlock.]

Hat-man and Robin.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

["High-functioning Sociopath" - try it some time.]

Oh, don't start....

[canenotneeded]

You brought it on yourself.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Yes. Because getting national attention was exactly why I did that.

[So much eye rolling.]

[canenotneeded]

[Which only leads to more chuckling]

Of all the things they could be saying about you, that's easily the least offensive.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock pulls up John's Blog on his mobile.]

You don't need to encourage them.

[He shows John what he's looking at.]

[canenotneeded]

[Yeah, no way to stop grinning now. Sorry, Sherlock]

I'm not encouraging them. I'm just...documenting important milestones.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

They want interviews, John! Inter.views.

[He huffs, as if that's the end of the discussion.]

[canenotneeded]

Of course they want interviews. They'll always want interviews, but it's not like I'm just going to call them up and invite them over for tea so they can have one.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Good, because I'd have to find a new flatmate if you did.

[And back to pouting. And yes, that was a threat.]

[canenotneeded]

I--


...Don't threaten me with a pout on.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Why not?

[It's fun.]

[canenotneeded]

Because I can't take you seriously.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[Sherlock smiles.]

You don't take me seriously anyway...

[Yes he knows it's a bold-faced lie. Like he said it's fun.]

[canenotneeded]

I do when you're not in a twist.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

[He hums.]

But I don't impress you anymore. You expect it now....

[canenotneeded]

[Fffft, be real, Holmes. Be real.]



You always impress me, Sherlock. And you never do what I expect.

[highfunctioning_sociopath]

Then you don't know me half so well as you should think.

[Because he thinks he's completely obvious, most of the time.]
