Today's prompt: chocolate
________________________________________________
A chocolate box place
John stared at the bare-chested and sweaty man standing in the middle of his living room between a huge stack of cardboard boxes. Sherlock seemed unperturbed and ignored the man completely.
"Ah, John. Excellent timing, Lestrade’s coming over."
"Not while there is a half-naked man parading through our living room unexplained. What's with all the boxes?"
Before Sherlock could answer someone could be heard coming up the stairs two steps at a time; John presumed it was Lestrade, in a hurry like always. He was right. Lestrade was about to storm into the room but came to an abrupt stop in the doorway.
"Good Lord."
He stared at the seminude man/cardboard box landscape with wide eyes. John debated with himself on whether he should start to laugh or bang his head against the nearest vertical surface, decided against both and went into the kitchen to make tea.
"Would someone please explain to me what the hell is going on here?"
Sherlock flopped down on the sofa.
"I saved the fortune of one of the Cadbury heirs. He offered to send some chocolate in addition to the payment. John said it would be a nice gesture."
John poked his head back into the room.
"So this is my fault? How was I supposed to know that he would send fifty boxes?"

John stared at the bare-chested and sweaty man standing in the middle of his living room between a huge stack of cardboard boxes.
Is it a remake of The Adventure of the Cardboard Box?
John debated with himself on whether he should start to laugh or bang his head against the nearest vertical surface, decided against both and went into the kitchen to make tea.
Because tea is the answer to everything. It's like 42 but you can drink it.
He offered to send some chocolate in addition to the payment.
If I were Sherlock I'd have asked for the whole payment in chocolate.
"So this is my fault? How was I supposed to know that he would send fifty boxes?"
And they're complaining about that? Well, I'm ready to give a hand (or a mouth) if need be.
Have a lovely time with your family, enjoy your chocolate eggs, and Frohe Ostern! (I hope I just haven't horribly insulted you in German! :D)

How can you say things like that to me? *is shocked*
Haha, no, that was perfect! If I wrecked my brain I could probably come up with the right words in French. *ahem*
Edit because I can't type.

Does this give it away, how much of a Lestrade fan I am, that my fav part is:
"Lestrade was about to storm into the room but came to an abrupt stop in the doorway."
Cause the image of him runnin up the stairs and then staying there... don't ask, I just love him ^.^
Cadbury is nice, very nice! But with fifty boxes, I think, some charitable giving is in the wind. The three of them could go to a school or an orphanage. It'd be cute :D
Have a nice holiday and Boldog Húsvétot, just because ;)

My mother baked a beautiful cake with poppy seed (it wasn't traditional, she found the recipe on the internet).

I just wonder why the box-guy is half-naked ... and if he looked like he should be ;)
no subject
Why not? ;)
The wonders of fiction. All men are pretty and half-naked. *haha*
