AN: The '...' are time skips.
February, 17th
[7:25 PM] John, where are you? –SH
[7:28 PM] I'm buying groceries. Don't worry I'm picking up the milk. –JW
[7:28 PM] Oh excellent. Buy acetaminophen while you're out. –SH
[7:30 PM] Doesn't Mrs. Hudson have any? –JW
[7:30 PM] Why do you need it anyways? –JW
[7:32 PM] I believe I'm coming down with something. Mrs. Hudson ran out. –SH
[7:33 PM] Really? You're sick? –JW
[7:34 PM] Why do you seem surprised? –SH
[7:34 PM] I didn't think robots could catch colds. –JW
[7:35 PM] Not in the mood, John. –SH
[7:36 PM] Alright, I was just messing. I'll get the medicine for you. –JW
[7:38 PM] Influenza, by the way. –SH
[7:39 PM] How do you know already? –JW
[7:41 PM] I know. –SH
[7:42 PM] Alright then… I have the medicine. Need anything else before I leave the shop? –JW
[7:42 PM] Cough drops. –SH
[7:43 PM] Throat hurt too? –JW
[7:43 PM] Obviously. Why would I ask for cough drops if it didn't? –SH
[7:44 PM] No need to be snippy about it. What flavor? –JW
[7:45 PM] I couldn't care less. –SH
[7:46 PM] How about cherry? –JW
[7:47 PM] Do they have strawberry? –SH
[7:47 PM] Yes. –JW
[7:47 PM] Get the strawberry. –SH
[7:52 PM] I checked out and I'm on my way back to the flat. I'll be back soon. –JW
[7:53 PM] Okay. –SH

February 19th
[3:48 PM] Are you still in Dublin? –SH
[3:53 PM] Yes, I told you I'd be gone for about 2 days. –JW
[3:53 PM] I wasn't listening. –SH
[3:54 PM] Why did you leave anyways? –SH
[3:55 PM] I wanted to get out. Besides, you spent all of last night waking me up with texts telling me to get you things that were inches away from you, so I'd rather not be home at the moment.
[3:56 PM] Hardly my fault I'm sick. –SH
[3:56 PM] Yeah I know. Feeling any better since last night? –JW
[4:01 PM] You looked horrible last night. –JW
[4:04 PM] Sherlock? –JW
[4:08 PM] Sorry, Mrs. Hudson brought me tea. –SH
[4:09 PM] That was kind of her. –JW
[4:09 PM] Is she still there with you? –JW
[4:10 PM] No, she left abruptly and slammed the door. –SH
[4:11 PM] What? Why? –JW
[4:11 PM] Haven't the faintest. We were just talking, and then she suddenly yelled at me and left. –SH
[4:12 PM] What did you say to her? –JW
[4:14 PM] Please tell me you didn't say something mean to her. –JW
[4:14 PM] I didn't say something mean to her. –SH
[4:15 PM] You did, didn't you? –JW
[4:16 PM] All I did was state the quality of the tea and the lack of biscuits. –SH
[4:17 PM] I may have also mentioned some things about the new man she is seeing. Then she threw a tea cup at me and left. –SH
[4:18 PM] Oh God, Sherlock! Go tell her you're sorry! –JW
[4:19 PM] I didn't do anything wrong. –SH
[4:19 PM] Also, I'm feeling worse than last night, sense you wanted to know. –SH
[4:20 PM] And yes, I felt horrible as well. –SH
[4:21 PM] What's your temp now? –JW
[4:23 PM] 40. –SH
[4:24 PM] Do you have a blanket on you? –JW
[4:24 PM] I did earlier when I had chills. –SH
[4:25 PM] Take the sheet from your bed and cover yourself with that instead. Take some of the drugs I got yesterday too. –JW
[4:25 PM] Tell me if your temperature raises any. –JW
[4:26 PM] Fine. –SH
[4:27 PM] Have you vomited any? –JW
[4:27 PM] Yes. –SH
[4:27 PM] How much? –JW
[4: 28 PM] I'm not a child, John. –SH
[4:28 PM] Then stop acting like one and tell me. –JW
[4:30 PM] Five times. –SH
[4:32 PM] Really? –JW
[4:32 PM] Yes. –SH
[4:33 PM] Make sure you're drinking, but not too much or too fast. Ever heard the saying "Feed a cold, Starve a fever."? If you eat make sure it's mostly liquid based. –JW
[4:34 PM] I'm not even hungry. –SH
[4:34 PM] Have you eaten anything? –JW
[4:35 PM] Yes. Then it came right back out. –SH
[4:36 PM] What did you have? –JW
[4:36 PM] Bread and jam… –SH
[4:37 PM] And something else I'm guessing? –JW
[4:38 PM] You'll laugh. –SH
[4:38 PM] No I won't. What did you eat? –JW
[4:38 PM] Promise you won't laugh. –SH
[4:39 PM] I promise I won't laugh. Now just tell me! –JW
[4:40 PM] Alphabet soup. –SH
[4:41 PM] … –JW
[4:42 PM] You said you wouldn't laugh! –SH
[4:43 PM] I'm not laughing! –JW
[4:45 PM] Yes you are. –SH
[4:45 PM] Why on earth did you have alphabet soup? –JW
[4:46 PM] Mrs. Hudson brought it up. –SH
[4:47 PM] Ha, that was nice of her. –JW
[4:47 PM] Wait… you ate the soup? Without being told to? –JW
[4:48 PM] She held a spoonful of the soup up to my mouth. What else was I suppose to do? –SH
[4: 48 PM] Sherlock, don't make her treat you like a child. –JW
[4:49 PM] I am not. In fact I'm sick of her treating me like one. –SH
[4:50 PM] Then why didn't you eat the soup by yourself? –JW
[4:51 PM] Because I didn't want to eat anything. –SH
[4:52 PM] Okay… Never mind then. –JW
[4:52 PM] Did you do what I told you to? –JW
[4:53 PM] I haven't gotten the sheet yet. But I took the acetaminophen. –SH
[4:53 PM] Why haven't you gotten the sheet yet? –JW
[4:55 PM] I don't feel like getting the sheet. –SH
[4:56 PM] Why not? –JW
[4:57 PM] I'm sweating too much to wear anything. –SH
[4:57 PM] Take your temperature again. –JW
[4:59 PM] It's still 40. –SH
[5:00 PM] Alright... The acetaminophen should bring it down some in a bit. –JW
[5:01 PM] Look I have to go. Go watch telly and drink plenty of water. –JW
[5:02 PM] Fine. Text me when you're available. –SH

AN: So there ya go. I absolutely had a blast writing this. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Chapter two should be up soon… ish… Please let me know what you thought of this. Reviews are always welcome. All the time.
Oh and for those who don't know, I converted the Fahrenheit to Celsius because I believe that's what they use in Europe. So Sherlock said his temp was 40 degrees, when in Fahrenheit it was 104 degrees.
