"John?"
"M?"
"John, wake up."
"Wha? Sherlock? Where are we?"
"Broom cupboard remember?"
"Oh yeah... What's wrong?"
"My legs are cramping, I need to sit a while, can we trade?"
"Yeah, we can try."
*thump* "OW! John, that was my SPLEEN!"
"Sorry Sherlock." *thwack*
"Watch it, that hurt!"
"It's not my fault you knocked the broom over!"
"Yeah well I can still blame you."
"Me? Why me? I'm not the one that didn't tell Lestraude where we were going."
"Shut up..."
"..."
"Hey Sherlock?"
"Yes John?"
"Are you ok?"
"As ok as I can be locked in a cupboard with you."
"...at least I'm not Sally."
"Good point."
*silence descends temporarily*
"Any idea how long we've been in here?"
"Nope, no phone on me remember? Don't you have a watch on you John?"
"No, it got knocked off during the fight I think."
"Ahh..."
"It's probably broken."
"What a pity."
"It was my third watch this month, you destroyed the other two remember?"
"It was in the name of science!"
"Sure it was."
"It WAS!"
*thump*
"ARGH! The broom just hit me again!"
"Ha ha."
"Oh you think that's funny do you John?"
"Yes, I find it absolutely hilarious that you have been bested by a broom twice n-" *thwack*
"..."
"Was that truly necessary Sherlock?"
"Yes."
"If things weren't so tight in here I might retaliate, but I think that will have to wait until later."
"Agreed, say John?"
"Yeah?"
"I think I have a bruise forming where that broom hit me in the head."
"..."
"Really, I think I do have a bruise forming."
"I'm sorry."
"... No you're not."
"You're right, I'm not. You deserve it for gettting us into this mess."
"I'm sorry I didn't tell anyone where we were going, you're right, it was irresponsible and I'll try not to do it again."
"..."
"John?"
"Who are you and where is Sherlock Holmes? You never apologize, did that broom hit you harder than I thought?"
"I'm still me John, I'm just confessing that even I occasionally make a mistake."
"I wish I could have that recorded."
"If you did I'd have to kill you."
"You wouldn't kill me, you'd miss me too much."
"..."
"Besides, I'm more fun to have around than the skull aren't I?"
"True, you are a better listener than the skull... He always ignores me."
"..."
"I wouldn't kill you John, I honestly like you too much to something like that."
"I didn't think you liked anyone."
"You're the exception to the rule."
"You never make exceptions."
"Only when it comes to you John."
"..."
"Oh, John?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you for putting up with me."
"What else am I here for?"
"Getting the milk when we're out?"
"..."
"Well it's true, that's something that you're incredibly useful for."
"Gee thanks."
"What? I meant it as a compliment."
"Sure."
"I think I'll take a nap now if that's all right by you John."
"I'll wake you up if anything happens."
"Thanks."
"No problem."
