Little Help From My Friends- Across the University
"I'm bored." Sherlock said leaning against Abigail's door frame. He had no new cases, and no articles online caught his attention. He had absolutely nothing to do.
"You want me to help?" She asked looking up from her laptop.
He made a noise in the back of his throat as he flopped down on her bed face first.
"What do you want to do?" She asked closing her laptop.
"Something interesting."
"You are acting like my nephew," She laughed crossing her arms, "He's five you know."
"Tell me about your family." He said rolling over to his side.
"When was the last time you slept?" She asked, noticing the purple rings under his eyes.
"Tell me about your family." He repeated ignoring her question.
"Let's see." she said thinking out loud. She brought her thumb up to her mouth to chew on, something she usually did while she was thinking.
"I have an older brother and sister. They're twins, but I have never met two more opposite people. Their names are Benjamin and Anna, they are 32, and are both married..."
"Banana." Sherlock said smiling.
"Exactly," She laughed, " Ben and Anna, are called Banana. Anyway, Ben has 3 kids, he's a lawyer, and has a knack for getting himself out of any situation..."
She went on for almost an hour, describing her parents, family vacation spots, and included embarrassing stories, like when she ran away from home because her mother had refused to let her stay up past nine o'clock.
When she was done, she looked down at a now sleeping detective. She smiled to herself as she stretched out next to him and closed her eyes.
I am only resting my eyes. She thought to herself.
Three hours later, Sherlock awoke to find himself with his arm around a sleeping Abigail. For a moment he let himself lie there, feeling at complete peace.
You are married to your work Sherlock Holmes.
And with that he got up and walked out of the room.
