John was reading the new comment Harry had left on his blog, when his flatmate rushed into the room. Sherlock threw himself across their sofa and turned onto his left side to face the cushioned back.

"Decided to settle down for a while?" John inquired. There was no answer.

Facing his laptop screen again, he suddenly heard a small noise. Turning his head to the side, John waited.

Hic

John smiled. "Got the hiccups have you?"

"John, don't be ridiculous. Of course I don't have the hic! Hiccups I mean."

John remained silent, waiting until the next hiccup was finished before asking, "Tried anything to get rid of them?"

Sherlock quickly moved to sit up. "I tried all of the suggestions I found on the internet. What am I going to do? I've had the wretched things for nearly an hour now!"

John stood up and walked over to his friend, lowering himself until he was straddling Sherlock's lap. Genuine surprise filled the detective's eyes.

Sherlock paused and then smiled, "brilliant!"
