Today's prompt: worried
________________________________________________
Absent
John. Absent for 48 minutes and 7 seconds.
No need to worry. Yet. Probably went shopping and out for a drink.
John. Absent for 1 hour 45 minutes. And 12 seconds.
Time to text Lestrade. No luck.
John. Absent for 2 hours 1 minute. And 3 seconds.
Time to call Mycroft.
“Do you have him? Give him back.”
“Sherlock. I presume we are talking about John? I don’t have him. How long has he been gone?”
“Two hours.”
“Two? He probably needed some time alone. Call me when he is still missing after four hours.”
“Why would he need time alone? Mycroft?”
Hung up. He throws his phone on the table. Starts pacing again.
John. Absent for 2 hours 9 minutes. And 34 seconds.
Steps on the stair. John. Not absent anymore.
“Where have you been?”
“I took Mrs Hudson to the hospital for her follow-up. I told you.”
“I texted you. I even called.”
“I turned my mobile off. I forgot to switch it back on. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”
“I wasn’t scared. I was just... concerned. About the work. You are important for my work. I couldn’t even concentrate on my experiment. It’s ruined now. Why are you smiling?”
“It’s nothing. I’m really sorry. I brought you something though.”
“What?”
“Molly sends it. Acetogenic bacteria.”

AN:
Today's prompt was 'worried'.
Am desperately trying to finish the next chapter of 'Sunday Senses' so that I can post it before this month is over. *argh*

P.S. I'm still laughing about the whole boner thing from yesterday's....oh dear lord.
no subject
Can't you just hear him say it? :D
no subject
And John looking right through Sherlock's 'you ruined my experiment' and 'I'm just concerned about the work'. Yeah, right!
no subject
I'm happy to hear that you liked it!
no subject
John. Not absent anymore.
I love this turn of phrase and I can hear Sherlock breathing properly again.
“I wasn’t scared. I was just... concerned. About the work. You are important for my work. I couldn’t even concentrate on my experiment. It’s ruined now. Why are you smiling?”
Ah, the delights of pre-slash, Sherlock lying brazenly and John knowing better...
“Molly sends it. Acetogenic bacteria.”
*googles the bacteria thing in case there's an innuendo there*
*is utterly baffled by the scientific jargon*
*is pretty sure there's no innuendo there actually* :D
It's very lovely. I very much like how soberly you express Sherlock's anxiety.

Hey, no rush! You've been ill and everything, you're entitled to extra time! Also you forgot the "t" in chapter but it doesn't count as a typo because it's not in the 221B itself. :D

I love you! *hugs*
*is pretty sure there's no innuendo there actually* :D
Sorry. I'd be really impressed if you managed to find innuendo in there though!
no subject
Just the work, Sherlock, huh? 'course. *smiles like John*
