________________________________________________


Relationship guru M. Holmes


‘We need to talk. MH’

‘About?’

‘My brother. MH’

‘I don’t think so.’

‘I’m concerned. MH’

‘Nothing new then?’

‘This is different. I worry about his emotional state. MH’

‘You’ve got to be kidding me. MH every time?’

‘Force of habit.’

‘I don’t think Sherlock’s emotional state concerns anyone except him and me.’

‘This time’s different. He… needed advice.’

“He what?”

“Hello John. How nice of you to call.”

“Quit the crap, Mycroft. He asked you for advice? He never asks you for advice. I’m pretty sure he would prefer admitting that he was wrong to asking you for advice.”

“He did not actually ask. It was implied.”

“Implied in what?”

“…”

“Mycroft. What did you do? Implied in what?”

“His search history.”

“What the fuck, Mycroft? You were supposed to stop spying on us.”

“I have a prerogative as his older brother.”

“The hell you do.”

***

‘Hanging up on people is rather impolite. MH’

John was tempted to throw his phone against the wall. He checked Sherlock’s search history instead. Then he smiled.

In the end Sherlock did not have to worry about what to do on Valentine’s Day. They spent the evening debugging their computers, phones and the flat and then went to have a celebratory dinner at Angelo’s. It was rather fitting for them and therefore brilliant.

Today's prompt was 'Valentine's Day'.

Still in London. My feet hurt.
But I had the Sherlock Wrap at Speedys (yummy!) and bought a shiny feather thing for my hair!

I love that Mycroft assumes Sherlock needs help when he searches for things to do on Valentines day.

Poor John! LMAO

Oh, Mycroft, will you never learn?

This is gorgeous! It sounds such a perfect way for the boys to spend Valentine's.

And yay for food at Speedy's!

I like Mycroft's “…” very much. An slightly embarrassed Mycroft is a sight to savour! Also I realise just now that this “…” thing looks like an emoticon. Did you try to draw Mycroft when he's embarrassed? :D

It's funny and sweet at the end but.. I mean, it's Valentine's day and they spend the evening debugging stuff and they go at Angelo's and it's very nice but... Well... NOT EVEN A KISS WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU WOMAN ARE YOU ILL OR SOMETHING?

P.S. Yesterday you were in London and you needed to do a wee. Today you're still in London and your feet hurt. I think London is bad for you. :D

There is a Sherlock Wrap?

[pottermalfoyyum.livejournal.com]

Does a Sherlock wrap come wrapped in a scarf?

[tracionn.livejournal.com]

THIS was brilliant! I can just see them shooting looks and smiles at each other over how upset Mycroft would be due to their debugging.
Perfect them indeed!

Great story! And very cleverly written - you made it clear from the start that they were texting and handled the jump to speech extremely well, using Mycroft's words to establish what might have been missed if relying solely on the switch from ' to " .

Very apt 'b' word, my dear - this is brilliant indeed!

*headdesk* Mycroft will never learn.

Since I know how tasty Speedy's wraps are I want to see pics of that shiny feather thing!

'Kay need a minute...*head on desk*
Can't breath, laughing too hard.*gaspy giggles*

Trying really hard to not be sweary out of sheer and utter delight, stripper-pole Christ and F**k a duck.(failing but, tried {sorry})

Just perfect from start to finish, unholy giggle-fest from title to this:‘Hanging up on people is rather impolite. MH’

And the ending was fluffy and sweet and not the kind of celebrating the holiday *cough* I was expecting *cough*really was sort of perfect for them.

Thank you, Amazing Critter!
Aww poor feet but, Yay for Speedy's and shiny feather thingy.
