The reluctant texts between two certain brothers.
Brother mine. - MH
Busy. - SH
The fact that you replied says otherwise. As well as the cameras installed in your flat. - MH
Shut up. - SH
You're obviously bored. Why would I shut up? Oh, and breaking the cameras again was not a good idea. I'm just going to have to replace them. - MH
Stop being a git. - SH
What makes me a git? Hm? - MH
Your you-ness. - SH
Am I really that much of a bastard? - MH
Yes. - SH
Shame. I was going to let you slip away from meeting Uncle Rudy for lunch next week. - MH
Like that was going to happen. - SH
You've got a point there. - MH
Of course I do. - SH
You do, of course, know that I will be accompanying Uncle Rudy? - MH
But you'll get called away to some boring government thing. - SH
Probably a terrorist threat. - MH
Another one? For someone so "clever", you aren't very creative. - SH
I am clever. You don't need to put quotation marks there. - MH
Yes, yes, don't try to be clever, you're the clever one, etcetera. - SH
Don't even bother replying with "I am the clever one". - SH
I wasn't going to. - MH
That's nice. - SH
Sounds like sarcasm. - MH
Sounds? We're texting, Mycroft. - SH
Really? Because I still hear your nagging little voice inside of my head. - MH
Oh, and it's nice to hear my name. - MH
Probably because you're crap at pseudonyms. - SH
We agreed not to talk about that. - MH
I didn't. - SH
Shut up. - MH
Very clever. - SH
"It is a great act of cleverness to be able to conceal one's being clever." ~ Francois de La Rochefoucauld. - MH
You're just saying that so you don't look stupid. - SH
John's at the door. - MH
Wonderful. I can stop talking to you. - SH
You could've done that anytime you wished, you know. - MH
I'm leaving. - SH
Aren't you forgetting something? - MH
Not to my knowledge. - SH
Well you don't have a whole lot of it, so it doesn't surprise me. - MH
I'm not saying it. - SH
I'll kidnap John. - MH
And do what? Throw him in a bonfire? Lame. - SH
I'll take Mrs. Hudson and John. - MH
... - SH
Sending over some MI5 agents. - MH
.. .-.. - ...- . -.- - ..- - SH
Close enough. - MH
This is why I don't talk to you. - SH
Fair enough. Caring is not an advantage. - MH
Your persistence says otherwise. - SH
I thought you were leaving. - MH
Aren't you forgetting something? - SH

Like I care. - SH
You made me say it. - MH
I did no such thing. - SH
I can see you smiling. You forgot the camera in the bookcase. - MH
I don't forget anything. - SH
I know. - MH
Just a little fluff for you. Humor coming next chapter.
