Sherlock leaned over the lifeless body that Lestrade had called him in to examine, no doubt making offhand (but nevertheless correct), deductions from the victims left hand fingernails. He had been like that for half an hour and John was starting to get very slightly impatient. Finally, after seemed like an eternity to John, but in actuality was only thirty seven minutes (close enough, JOhn thought bitterly) Sherlock spoke to the doctor.
" John!" He called. " Could you come over here?" Sherlock requested. John, glad that he now had some other function aside from keeping Anderson's mouth shut to a degree, complied, kneeling down next to the body with Sherlock. He waited for a minute, expecting te detective to speak to him further, but to no avail. He simply continued studying the body, probing at it every once in a while. John stared hard at his oblivious friend, mentally willing for him to remember that there was an actual, living person next to him, not just then dead man in front of him. It didn't work. Sherlock seemed oblivious to John, whom he had just called over, almost as if he had forgotten about it. Which was very possible. His blue eyes flashed everywhere all at once and John sighed. As he waited the doctor remembered something that Sherlock had told him quite a long time ago. That Sherlocks eyes were his most valuable asset for detective work. John had an idea. It almost seemed like it may be going too far, but still...in the end John couldn't resist.
" Sherlock," He began. " You are now blinking manually."
Sherlock stopped all movement short of the rise and fall of his chest. Then, slowly, he blinked once. A few seconds later he repeated the motion. He looked up and shot John a glare.
" Dammit..." He swore softly. Sherlock stood up and brushed himself off, walking away from John without a word. Anderson glanced up at John curiously from across the room. John just smiled. Maybe the detective would pay him attention the next time he called JOhn over. unlikely, but maybe.
Sherlock being distracted would keep them at the scene later into the night, but overall, thought John as he watched his flatmate walk away, it was worth it.
