Today's prompt: numbers/ counting
________________________________________________
What friends are for
“Was there any purpose to your visit here or is bothering me the only thing on today’s agenda?”
“I am bothering you? You’ve done nothing than talk about your non-existent love life until now.”
“I have no idea what to do, I’ve forgotten how to even talk to women. How do people flirt these days?”
Sherlock raised his eyes from the file in front of him and silently looked at him. Greg sighed, “Yeah, pretend I did not just ask you for dating advice.”
“I’m really beginning to regret coming here today.”
“I’m sorry if me being miserable disturbs your thought process. I am lonely, Sherlock.”
“And what am I, your social worker?”
Two hours later, after having followed Lestrade to Barts, Sherlock slammed a piece of paper on the slab between Greg and Molly Hooper. Right on top of the body.
“Here. The numbers of five women who wouldn’t be averse to go on a date with a police inspector. Even you should be capable to get at least one of them to go out with you.”
“Charming, Sherlock.”
Sherlock stormed off and Lestrade found himself blushing. But not as deeply as Molly Hooper.
“Do you want to... I mean, I know about being lonely. No, what I mean is... I have one in twenty minutes. Um, I mean... a break.”
Next 221b: X marks the spot
------------------
AN:
Today's prompt was 'numbers/ counting'.
I just noticed that I already used the title le 'What friends are for' when Lestrade forced Sherlock to go jewellery-shopping with him. Seems this is going to be a thing. ;)

Date: 2012-08-27 08:15 pm (UTC)My guess is that Sherlock would not even think of Molly.

“Do you want to... I mean, I know about being lonely. No, what I mean is... I have one in twenty minutes. Um, I mean... a break.”
It sounds very much like Molly.
It's lovely! So this is how the
GregollyMollegLestooperHoopade began? With Sherlock as the matchmaker? As the others, I wonder if Molly was on the list...It's "I’ve forgotten how to even talk to women." ;-)

Date: 2012-08-31 11:34 am (UTC)Jesus Freaking Christ, these are all awful!
No, I don't see Molly on this list. Though it would be interesting to think about WHY the five women made the list. What criteria did Sherlock use?

Lonely Lestrade, "How do people flirt these days?"
(No, stop, don't do that Greg, look at who you're talking to and...)
"Yeah, pretend I did not just ask you for dating advice."
(Oh, thank god.)
The list 'right on top of the body'(*giggling* Never gets old, people and things, always landing 'on top of the body'{nope})
Blushing Lestrade and even blushier Molly. Can't resist must AWWWWW some more. And Molly made the first move! omg omg omg.
This, this has made me very happy, really truly Thank You.

Date: 2012-08-28 05:03 am (UTC)I'm pretty sure Molly made the first move by accident. ;)
Thank you for all the 'awwwww' and the cheering! <3

Very lovely in a very Sherlockian way!!
(Also, sorry for my icon hopping! I think I've now settled on three (or four?) I use, all depending on the mood of your 221Bs which I of course wanna match.)

Date: 2012-08-31 11:37 am (UTC)(Oh, please. I love icon hopping! I used to do it all the time. Verity called me 'icon-girl'. :D But I think it's easier for people to find my entries in the comm's list when they know what icon to look for, so I stopped. More or less... )
no subject
Date: 2012-08-31 11:46 am (UTC)(And thnx for understanding. I used to be a one-icon-girl but then fandom corrupted me. And other lj users. And authors. Especially authors and their atmosphere-creations.
Aaaanyway - I know what you mean and I also think it's good you have that one icon. I saw you using other ones and I assumed it was because someone else had used the same pic for their icon you're using. 'coz I was bit confused when I just saw the icon, clicked the link and was not inside your head! Now I always check the name too.)
((And speaking of which I just felt like hopping again *g*))
