Two chapters in a row, don't say I'm not good to you. Enjoy! Warning for mention of drug use.
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
They scream The worst things in life come free to us
And we're all under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple grams
Sherlock was a pretty unmanageable person normally, but when detoxing he became downright impossible. Some days he would stay in bed all day and refuse to talk, others he would sit on the sofa restlessly tapping his foot, his body shaking, talking nineteen to the dozen. He would become depressed and moan that the world was boring and dull, and at night he would awake shouting from dreams that he would not reveal. There was also the memorable time that paranoia set in and Sherlock threw a kettle at him, claiming that he was trying to kill him.
When the detoxing was over Sherlock was tired and underweight but a good deal healthier than he had been 2 and a half weeks previously. He was through the worst stages of withdrawal so Mycroft decided to let him leave his house and live in the apartment he had bought for him. Sherlock was annoyed with the arrangement but his only other options were to live with Mycroft or on the streets again, both of which were unappealing. "It's only until I get enough money for my own place" He muttered to Mycroft in the car on the way to his new flat. Mycroft didn't say anything, it didn't matter as long as Sherlock was accepting his help.
After he had shown Sherlock the flat (he had took into consideration everything Sherlock would require in a desirable flat; centralLondon, spacious enough for all his clutter and with extremely tolerant neighbours) he turned to leave when Sherlock spoke suddenly "I appreciate it by the way." He blurted out. Mycroft just walked on, but he was smiling. Their relationship would maybe never be what it was before he had left, but maybe the only two Holmes left on the planet could salvage something like a friendship.
"By the way Mycroft, your diet needs some immediate work, you scoffed almost an entire bakery while I was staying at yours."
Or perhaps that was wishful thinking.
Review and you get a cookie! :D
