John had a plan. It may not have been a very good plan but it was a plan none the less.

He waited until Sherlock gone out to stalk the guy and then waited another hour before walking out of the flat. But instead of walking over to Sherlock he waited until Sherlock got comfortable (behind the trash cans) and walked into the convenience store.

Almost immediately his phone started to go off sounding like a very angry chipmunk in his pocket. But the chipmunk sound was ignored.

Slowly he picked out several items (that were actually needed thank you very much) and walked over to the cashier.

*Gasp!* why look would be working but the man that Sherlock is stalking! Lift hand to mouth in horror! Oh no whatever was he going to do?!

Well walking out after putting all the stuff away would draw attention so he better just pay for his items so that way he won't draw attention to himself.

So he got into the shortest line and *gasp!* he has the cashier that Sherlock is stalking. Well isn't that just peachy?! But alright he'll just go with it and now his phone was going off dramatically in his pocket.

With a sigh he took it out to read through the texts.

John stop whatever it is you are doing

Ignoring the detective John placed his items on the counter. I mean since he is here why not check to see if the man is actually pure evil or not. Couldn't hurt could it?

"Hello will that be all for today?" The cashier beamed at John who stared at him.

The man had large green eyes that sparkled and straight white teeth. His name tag said 'Lochlan' and everything about this man just screamed attractive.

"Hello, yes that will be all thank you" John managed to reply once his english sense of politeness kicked in. But he couldn't help but glance over to where Sherlock was hiding, seeing him crouched behind the garbage cans glaring daggers at him.

"Oh you see him as well?" Lochlan asked making him jump.

"See who?"

"The tall man trying to hide behind short garbage cans." Luckily Lochlan looked as if he was laughing which was good.

John gave a sigh, obviously the detectives powers of un-detection were fading quite a bit. "yes, his name is Sherlock and he's a bit…well he's a bit off. You see he really likes you but is too shy to say anything and came up with this whole scenario where you are basically pure evil."

Lochlan stared before letting out a laugh (and damn it even his laugh was perfect) "oh please don't tell him you told me I can have so much fun with this!" he laughed

Outside Sherlock was in his usual hiding spot and glowered at his flat mate. Here he was doing all the dirty work while that little…hobbit reaped the benefits.

He was going to pay. Especially because he saw the cashier laugh at whatever John had said.

That night Sherlock was following Lochlan home (as usual) when he suddenly took a look around before taking off down the street.

"Now we're getting somewhere!" Sherlock thought as he pursued the man.

He had to jog quickly to keep the minimum safe distance and still follow the man he was going so fast.

Suddenly Lochlan broke into a full out run making the detective growl with irritance before following.

(-(-(-(-(0_o)-)-)-)-)

Left turn down an alley, right turn down the street another left turn after three street lights, a quick right down another alley, over a fence, down the street and another left turn.

He managed to keep up with the long legged Scot when suddenly Lochlan stopped in front of a small street kiosk and purchased two ice cream cones.

Then he turned and walked down an alley way.

When Sherlock followed he didn't see the man at all then jumped at the laugh that came behind him.

"Figured if you were going to follow me I may as well help you get some exercise." He smiled making Sherlock stare. "Why were you following me at all?" He asked then handed him one of the ice cream cones.

"You don't do anything wrong. At all. You're nice and polite to EVERYONE and you always go straight home after work. You read The Idiot. There is NOTHING BAD YOU DO!" Sherlock growled and ran a hand through his curls.

"True but that doesn't explain why you started following me in the first place."

Sherlock froze before staring at Lochlan who was just eating his ice cream in a very calm manner. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that you could only find all that out by stalking me. But why did you start in the first place?" Aiden asked with a tip of his head.

"Well…I…" Sherlock floundered for an excuse but only stood there mouth gaping like a fish and pointedly not looking at the little pink tongue eating the ice cream cone.

"okay well you think about it and I'll see you later." Lochlan laughed and gave him a saucy wink before turning and opening the door to his apartment building.

The cleaver Scot had lead the genius detective around in a circle, ending at his apartment building.

(-(-(-(-(0_o)-)-)-)-)

Sherlock must have stood on the street for 15 minutes trying to think of the reason he started following Lochlan before giving up and just going home.

(-(-(-(-(0_o)-)-)-)-)

He was still thinking on what the man had asked him when John came down stairs the next morning. "Oh hey Sherlock, how did your night go?"

Sherlock glared at the blogger. "I'm guessing not okay then?"

"I followed Lochlan around the city and it turned out that he was messing with me. But then he asked me a question that I couldn't answer."

This got John's attention. "What was the question?"

"Why I started stalking him in the first place."

"Ah, well you better think on that."

"Help me."

"No."

"Damn it John!"

"Nope this is one of those things where you are just going to have to figure it out for yourself."

"I want you to move out."

"Tough. Now I'm going to go and get eggs and milk…again."

"I'm changing the locks on the doors while you're gone."

"Alright then just leave me a key."

"Not kidding."

"Whatever. Just think on that problem will you?"

"I hate you."

"Mmm Hmm, see you later."
