Valentine Surprise
"What is THAT?" Sherlock scowled, pointing to a small, white envelope sitting menacingly on his chair. John turned and looked at it. "It's a valentine, Sherlock," he said, smiling. Sherlock stepped closer and picked it up, holding it between his thumb and forefinger. "It's a what?"
"It's a valentine from Mrs. Hudson. It is Valentine's Day, Sherlock. You give cards and things to people that you love or care about," John stated as plainly as he could. "But why is it in my chair?" Sherlock asked, dropping the card on the side table. "Mrs. Hudson is just being nice and thought you might like a valentine card. Look, she gave me one, too!" John pulled out an envelope that matched Sherlock's.
Sherlock eyed the envelope with distain and sighed. John shrugged and rolled his eyes; he put away his card. They sat in silence for several minutes; Sherlock was still eyeing the card. John began to feel uncomfortable and picked up the paper and started to read.
Suddenly, a sound broke the silence of the sitting room; it was as if a woman sighed softly. "What was that?" John asked, not knowing what it was. "Nothing," mumbled Sherlock, pulling his phone from his pocket and pushing the buttons absently. John thought for a moment, then realized what the sound was. "You still haven't changed the tone on that yet?" John asked. "No," Sherlock stated flatly.
John heard the sound of buttons being pressed and looked up at Sherlock, thinking it was about a new case. He was not certain, but he swore that he saw Sherlock smile for a fraction of a second. Sherlock then typed a few for words, then slipped his phone back into his pocket.
"John," Sherlock spoke, making John jump. "What, Sherlock?" John sighed. Sherlock stiffened a little and shifted his weight slightly. "Do you think that Mrs. Hudson would appreciate some flowers? It is Valentine's Day, is it not?" Sherlock stated quickly. John's mouth fell open in shocked surprise. "Yes, I think that that would be appropriate," Sherlock retorted his stunned companion. "I'll sign your name to the card as well," he added as he exited through the door and down the steps.
As he reached to door, his phone gave a small sigh. He retrieved it from his pocket and read the text:
Happy Valentine's Day to you, too! – A
He smiled to himself again and slammed the door behind him.
