AN: So I was just planning on this being a fluffy little one-shot and I've been amazed at the response I've gotten. So I've decided to continue it with a few more chapters. They will all be in text format and will be fluffy "snapshots" of Joh and Sherlock's relationship. Use you're imagination to fill in what happens in between the texts.
Not sure how long I will continue this or how often I will update – just letting the muse inspire me! Also a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has favorited/alerted this story. And THANK YOU to everyone who has reviewed.
Disclaimer: I'm praying to Santa to bring me the rights to Sherlock. Until he does so I own nothing.
12:05
Sherlock are you busy?
JW
12:05
No. Aren't you?
SH
12:06
No. Light day.
JW
12:06
So you can text me while you're working, but I can't text you?
SH
12:07
You do text me.
JW
12:07
Yes, but it bothers you.
SH
12:07
Not really.
JW
12:08
You act like it does.
SH
12:08
That's because it should bother me.
JW
12:09
I don't follow.
SH
12:09
Never mind.
JW
12:10
I have question for you.
JW
12:10
Shoot.
SH
12:10
Not literally.
SH
12:11
I know what you meant.
JW
12:11
Good. What's your question?
SH
12:12
What should we call ourselves now that we're together?
JW
12:12
John and Sherlock.
SH
12:12
Or perhaps Johnlock. If you're the sort for couple names. Frankly I think they're ridiculous.
12:13
I mean with other people. How should I introduce you?
JW
12:14
As a genius.
SH
12:14
Sherlock!
JW
12:15
Right. Sorry. As your boyfriend then.
SH
12:16
But that's so common. Everyone has a boyfriend.
JW
12:16
Everyone?
SH
12:17
You know what I mean. It just doesn't fit us. To shallow.
JW
12:18
Partners then?
SH
12:18
Too formal.
JW
12:19
Lovers?
SH
12:19
Yeah Right.
JW
12:20
What's wrong with lovers?
SH
12:20
It sounds illicit. People who have lovers are usually married to someone other than their lover.
JW
12:21
Good point. Though you could be my lover; since I'm married to my work.
SH
12:21
Be serious.
JW
12:22
I'm sorry but I can't devote the same mental energy to this matter as you are. I've already reached my conclusion in this matter.
SH
12:22
So how are you introducing me then?
JW
12:23
"This is John Watson, my idiot."
SH
12:32
Sherlock!
JW
12:32
Not good?
SH
12:33
Bit not good!
JW
12:33
But I think it's sweet.
SH
12:34
You think it's sweet to call me an idiot?
JW
12:34
Not just any idiot. My idiot. Makes you special.
SH
12:35
Not happening.
JW
12:35
Why not?
SH
12:36
It just isn't.
JW
12:37
Fine.
SH
12:40
I have an idea.
SH
12:40
Yeah?
JW
12:41
Exception.
SH
12:41
I don't follow.
JW
12:41
I told you that I was married to my work, remember?
SH
12:42
Yes.
JW
12:42
And that I don't do relationships.
SH
12:42
Until now.
JW
12:43
Exactly. and you're not gay, right?
SH
12:43
Except when it comes to you.
JW
12:44
Exactly. We're both exceptions to the other's rules.
SH
12:44
"This is Sherlock Holmes, my exception."
JW
12:45
Precisely. What do you think?
SH
12:46
I like it. Rather romantic actually.
JW
12:46
No need to sound so surprised.
SH
12:47
I don't sound anything. We're texting.
JW
12:47
You're tone is still conveyed through the texts.
SH
12:48
Right. Sorry then. Just never figured you had a romantic side.
JW
12:48
And why not?
SH
12:49
High-functioning Sociopath?
JW
12:49
Touché.
SH
If convenient please review: if inconvenient review anyway.
