Sherlock was in the kitchen, staring into the microscope. Equipment and test tubes were scattered across the table. He seemed focused on the result of an important experiment.

"John, my phone," he mumbled, not even looking up. John stepped behind him and started to pat Sherlock's chest without hesitation. He wasn't offended by those unusual requests anymore.

"Gently, John," Sherlock scolded him. "My phone is on the coffee table, by the way."

John huffed angrily and rushed to the living room.

Sherlock regarded him with a smirk. He'd make sure to put that phone in his back pocket next time.
