Applause

Sort of a song fic, something i just randomly thought of while i was watching videos. There's a bit of Sheriarty if you squint. It's set in Series Three (there is a spoiler), but is away from the episodes.

Applause

"I live for applause, Sherlock," Jim smirked, "I love a good crowd,"

"You always were one to show off," Sherlock retorted. Jim smiled, enjoying the home-y feel of the flat.

"When was John getting home again?" Jim asked suddenly.

"I told you…. John lives with Mary now," Sherlock repeated for what seemed like the hundredth time.

"Ah… right… sorry..." Jim replied. Suddenly, Jim's phone alerted. Jim glanced at the screen, and unlocked it. His eyes scanned the text, and he smirked a bit.

"Funny text?" questioned Sherlock, not even glancing over.

"You could say that… just someone giving me an idea…" Jim instantly went to the Youtube app on his phone, typing in the title of the video. Suddenly, the room was filled with a strange techno beat. Lady Gaga's voice followed soon after.

"I live for the applause, applause, applause. I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause." Gaga sang. Sherlock looked at Jim, smirking.

"Seems you found a song that fits you perfectly… right Jim?" Sherlock said, Jim could hear the amusement Sherlock was trying to hide, and grinned.

"I am the King, dear," Jim chuckled, "You've seen me in a crown,"

Sherlock and Jim settled in for a night of quiet thinking and eventually laughter and jokes.
