People will text

by lizzyleefree

These are little glimpses into John and Sherlock's friendship based around the texts they send each other. They vary between being funny, sad, angry, long, short, and many say the most by what's left unsaid. It's not really romance, but not just friendship either; it's just whatever John and Sherlock are. (Rating just for safety- mild language and possible drug/violence references)

1. The Pen

Why haven't you given me my pen yet?

-SH

What? I'm on a date; I've been gone half an hour.

-JW

It's not my fault you weren't here when I asked you to get my pen.

-SH

…Ok, I'm ignoring you now.

-JW

Which one are you with tonight? The nurse? You could have a less boring conversation with my pen.

-SH

John. John. John. John.

-SH

WHAT?

-JW

I need my pen, John.

-SH

It's in your coat pocket, isn't it?

-JW

No. It's all the way on the other end of the table. I'm far too involved in this case to get it.

-SH

BUT NOT TO TEXT ME A MILLION TIMES?!

-JW

I've only texted you seven times, including this one. Don't be dramatic, John.

-SH

Oh, I'm the dramatic one, am I? Turning off my phone now, Sherlock.

-JW

The safety of our client depends on you getting me my pen.

-SH

What? I'm on my way! Why didn't you tell me that in the first place?

-JW

I was trying to use a coded message, but apparently being around women makes you incapable of understanding something that complex.

-SH

Oh, shut up. It's not a big deal. She was probably about to break up with me, anyway.

-JW

Of course she was. It's not very chivalrous to text your flatmate through your entire date, you know.

-SH

I don't know why I put up with you.

-JW

Yes, you do.

-SH
