The Detective and His Blogger

by High-Functioning Ginger

The Doctor and the Detective sounds like a rubbish romance novel. The Detective and His Blogger has some potential though. Text "snapshots" of John and Sherlock's developing relationship from their admissions of romantic interest to their anniversary and beyond. Smatterings of Lestrade, Mycroft and others. Fluff and sarcasm galore! Rated for minor sexual references and language.

11. As Memory Serves

AN: Wohoo! The inspiration has returned! (Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself by saying that). It's been awhile since I updated two days in a row – this makes me happy Anyway – back to the usual Johnlock fluff and humour.

Thank You! To everyone who's favorited/alerted this story and HUGS to those who have taken a few moments to review.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sherlock Holmes. John Watson has that honor.

Where are you?
JW

6:03
Case
SH

6:04
Well that's not vague at all
JW

6:04
Sarcasm is not appreciated when I'm working
SH

6:04
And what are you working on?
JW

6:05
Trying to determine the origin of a specific greeting card
SH

6:05
A greeting card is important to a case?
JW

6:06
Yes, as the killer sent it to the victim.
SH

6:06

So why do you need to find out where it's from?

JW

6:07

Because we need to pull security footage to get a visual on him.

SH

6:07
Oh. Don't suppose there's any chance of you leaving it until tomorrow and coming home?
JW

6:08
Certainly not. Will you ever stop asking stupid questions?
SH

6:08
Nope. I enjoy annoying you too much
JW

6:09
That explains a lot.
SH

6:09
Like what?
JW

6:10
Like why you are texting me when I'm busy. You know I dislike being disturbed; it breaks my concentration.
SH

6:10
Actually I'm texting you because we're supposed to have dinner tonight. You know, real food. At a restaurant.
JW

6:11
I don't recall those plans.
SH

6:11
That's because I made them without you.
JW

6:12
And why would you do that?
SH

6:12
Don't worry - it's not an anniversary or anything.
JW

6:13
I wasn't worried about that.
SH

6:14
No? I thought you'd cringe at the idea of me dragging you out to celebrate something so sentimental.
JW

6:15
I would. But I know it's not our anniversary.
SH

6:15
And how do you know that?
JW

6:16
Because we've only been together five months and that is not a common milestone to celebrate.
SH

6:16

You've kept track of how long we've been together?

JW

6:17

Inadvertently. I was in the midst of the Milverton case at the time and it's been five months since.

SH

6:17

Oh. Right.

JW

6:17

So I've nothing to fear.

SH

6:18

I could force you to celebrate the anniversary for when we first met - but I honestly don't remember the date for that.
JW

6:18
Unsurprising. You're memory is sketchy at best.

SH

6:19

Not like you remember it either, tosser.

JW

6:20

Actually I do.
SH

6:20
Really?
JW

6:21
Of course. Why are you so surprised? I have impeccable memory.
SH

6:21
Doesn't seem like the sort of thing you'd want to clutter your hard-drive with.
JW

6:22
It doesn't take up much space.
SH

6:22
You know this is a bit sentimental of you. Borderline affectionate.
JW

6:23
Is not.
SH

6:23
Is too.
JW

6:24
It would only be sentimental if I saw the need to commemorate it in some way; which I don't.
SH

6:24
I'll allow you your delusions.
JW

6:25
I have no need for delusions. I'm right. If I recall your birthday but fail to celebrate it than am I still being sentimental and affectionate?
SH

6:25

You're impossible to argue with

JW

6:26

Excellent observation, my dear John.

SH

6:26

Stop being a smart-arse.

JW

6:27

Never

SH

6:27

So dinner?
JW

6:28
Tomorrow.
SH

6:28
Fine then. I don't suppose you need help do you?
JW

6:29
No.
SH

6:29
Right. I'll just amuse myself with a book then.
JW

6:30
Some company would be nice, though.
SH

6:31
Text me the address.
JW

If convenient please review; if inconvenient review anyway.
