I had an idea and had to write it down as quickly as possible.
Gah, another multi-day chapter. How do these keep happening?

Is this a Christmas gift on my bed, John? SH [sent at 23:55]
That is where you left mine. Sorry it's a bit late. JW [sent at 23:55]
You probably know what it is just by calculating the volume and weight of the box or something, though. JW [sent at 23:56]
True. But I wasn't going to tell you that. SH [sent at 23:56]
Yeah, well, just open it. JW [sent at 23:56]
I was wondering if I was ever going to get that new measuring cup. Thank you. SH [sent at 24:00]
You're welcome. Now go to bed. JW [sent at 24:00]

So, about John. MH [sent at 10:34]
What about him? SH [sent at 10:34]
You like him. MH [sent at 10:35]
Well of course I like him, Mycroft, we're friends. We live together. SH [sent at 10:35]
You like him as more than a friend. MH [sent at 10:36]
I have no memory of every telling you that. SH [sent at 10:41]
It's beyond obvious, Brother dear. MH [sent at 10:42]
I'm quite surprised John doesn't know. MH [sent at 10:42]
Not everyone has the great deduction skills that we have. SH [sent at 10:42]
'We'? I'm afraid I'd have to say that mine are considerably better than anything of yours. MH [sent at 10:43]
We both know that's not true. SH [sent at 10:44]
We both know it is. MH [sent at 10:44]
What do you want, Mycroft? SH [sent at 10:45]
I need you to admit that you like John as more than a friend. MH [sent at 10:45]
You sound like a teenage girl. Why? SH [sent at 10:45]
I need to know if I was correct. MH [sent at 10:45]
I am still failing to see why it is any of your business. SH [sent at 10:46]
Sherlock, really. Put yourself in my position. If you thought I liked someone as more than a friend, you would be all over me admitting it. MH [sent at 10:46]
I wouldn't. Because I already know that you've got someone. SH [sent at 10:47]
I think you might be mistaken. MH [sent at 10:52]
Oh, so Greg Lestrade doesn't mean anything to you? SH [sent at 10:52]
I believe we were talking about you and John. MH [sent at 10:59]
There's nothing to talk about. SH [sent at 11:00]
There is everything to talk about. I am sending a car, and you'd better get in this time. MH [sent at 11:00]
I'm not in the mood for quarreling, Mycroft. SH [sent at 11:01]
Too bad. MH [sent at 11:01]
Get in the car. MH [sent at 11:15]
Tomorrow is Monday (do hear that faint weeping? That's me. Because Monday), so that means a chapter will not be put up as early as I had put them up this weekend.
I guess reviews are cool and stuff.
