Pairing: John Watson/ Sherlock Holmes
The Chicken and the Egg
"And so John, by multiplying the value by pi and quadrupling it by the diameter of the observable universe our answer is perfectly clear." Sherlock dotted the last decimal and turned triumphantly to John. John sat analyzing the large board full of numbers and shapes. He opened his mouth several times before closing it and rubbing his eyes.
"That's all very nice Sherlock." He said rubbing the bridge of his nose. "And thank you for the lesson, but you never answered my question." Sherlock blinked that obviously wasn't the response he was planning to get from him. He turned his back to John cleaning off the white board he had kindly brought out for John to follow.
"Then pray tell John, what sort of question would you like me to answer?" John sat back in his chair lacing his fingers together.
"What came first, the chicken or the egg?" Sherlock turned back to him nodding and then uncapped his marker.
"I see…but, before we can answer this question, first we must ask ourselves where did the chicken come from in the first place?" He began to ramble on about Prehistoric birds and the Jurassic period as he drew a complicated math problem on the board and several words in Latin. John stood picking up his empty tea cup and set the kettle to boil before looking in the cabinets for a snack.
This was definitely going to be a while.
