Part 2 in my Moments in Time series. There will more parts. I've just settled on posting this one next.
This takes place between Graffiti and Trains.
John followed Sherlock into their flat. He hung his coat up and then walked into the kitchen to put the kettle on. After the night he had, well, he and Sarah, being kidnapped by a smuggling gang, her almost getting killed, he really doubted she would call him again. He could ring her, but he knew that wasn't a good idea.
He walked back into the living room and flopped down in his chair with a sigh that drew his friend's gaze.
"Something wrong?" Sherlock asked.
"Am I ever going to have a normal date?" John snapped, not that it was Sherlock's fault, but really, all he wanted to do was take Sarah out.
He should've known his friend was up to something offering free tickets.
Sherlock rolled his eyes. John put too much stock in the normal and mundane.
"Dating's boring."
"Actually, it's really not. It's difficult enough without throwing in being kidnapped and almost killed."
"You know you enjoy it," Sherlock replied, sitting forward. "The thrill of the chase. Blood pumping through your system."
It was true. John couldn't deny it, but…
"Not when I'm on a date I don't," he snapped. Sherlock rolled his eyes and flopped back in his chair, gazing at the ceiling. "No one would, well, not one outside of you."
For a reason Sherlock could neither explain nor understand his mind drew up an image of a woman. Blonde hair, black jacket, blue shirt, black trousers, and trainers.
"Could be dangerous," he called.
She smiled and it was what that smile spoke of that brought one to his own lips. The thrill of the chase. Blood pumping through her system. Someone who could handle herself, someone who wasn't afraid to step into danger.
"Wouldn't that be something," she replied.
John noticed the smile Sherlock sported. His brows drew together in annoyance. Of course his friend would find humor in running off yet another date. He rolled his eyes, picking up the paper even though he already read it this morning.
