________________________________________________
The curious case of the octopus's garden
“John, what’s wrong?”
“Oh, nothing. Sorry, didn’t mean to wake you. Go back to sleep. I just had an idea for the next blog entry.”
John fumbled for Sherlock’s laptop, sure to find it next to the bed, never far from its owner and quietly left the room. Sherlock mumbled, rolled over and went back to sleep. Tomorrow was enough time to mock the new entry.
***
The next morning John found Sherlock staring at his new blog entry in dismay.
“That’s the title? It’s even worse than the last three.”
“He was killed in a seafood store. It’s not that far-fetched!”
“It’s a terrible title.”
“And you’re a terrible husband. What about encouraging me and my hobby? A hobby that ensures your income by the way.”
Sherlock snorted. “If anybody is a terrible husband, it’s you. You left me alone in bed last night.”
“What are you? A teenager? If you want me to stay all you have to do is ask.”
Sherlock looked miffed, probably because asking did not occur to him.
The new blog entry was not mentioned again until they met with Lestrade the next day. He patted John on the back, “Great new entry, John. Nice title.”
John grinned, “Thanks. Sherlock hates it. Although I’m pretty sure he didn’t even get the reference to the Beatles.”
Next 221b: Things unsaid
------------------
AN:
Today's prompt - courtesy of Verity Burns - was 'The Beatles'.
I have no idea. Don't ask. ;)
Octopus's Garden is one of my favourite Beatles' songs though.

Date: 2012-09-11 09:24 pm (UTC)Do you mean John leaves the room AND A BED CONTAINING SHERLOCK ON HIS OWN FREE WILL? What's wrong with this man?
"And you’re a terrible husband."
HUSBAND ! *does a happy dance*
You left me alone in bed last night.
HA! You see, Sherlock and me agree.
Funny fic, and there are the Beatles. Very good! Also, I was listening The Long and Winding Road recently and it made me think of John after the Fall. Do you think it's alarming? :D

(It's ok if you did. Because Sherlock could totally own me, too.)

This is what happens when you write in a language that's not your mother tongue. *sighs*
Thank you!
*goes off daydreaming about being owned by Sherlock*

They call each other 'husband' and it's domestic and slightly bickery and
just feels so long time coupley. *happy sigh*
*gigglesnort* well that answers my usual question don't it?
Brilliant and surprising use of prompt. Thank You!
