Did you see the Oscars? Did you see Benedict? I screamed every time he was on screen, and it understandably made my family a bit irritated after a while.

February 20

Are you feeling any better? JW [sent at 19:25]

Not really. I can't blame myself, though, Sherlock was probably conducting one of his silly experiments when he bought me seven shots and timed how fast I could drink them on his phone. GL [sent at 19:26]

I'm sorry about that. JW [sent at 19:27]

Don't be. I just won't be going out to another pub with that man again any time soon. GL [sent at 19:27]

I expected that would be your response. JW [sent at 19:28]

Yeah, well... GL [sent at 19:28]

Tell him to wrap up with that case already, will you? GL [sent at 19:28]

He solved it yesterday, didn't he tell you? JW [sent at 19:29]

Obviously not. GL [sent at 19:29]

We'll head over now. JW [sent at 19:30]

Thank you. GL [sent at 19:31]

Greg appreciates it when you actually tell him you've solved a case, you know? JW [sent at 19:32]

I thought I had told him. SH [sent at 19:32]

No, I planned the entire conversation in my Mind Palace. I guess I didn't get to the part of actually doing it. SH [sent at 19:32]

That sounds about right. JW [sent at 19:33]

What's that meant to mean? SH [sent at 19:33]

Never mind, just meet me at Greg's office. JW [sent at 19:34]

We can't just go together? Aren't you upstairs? SH [sent at 19:34]

My shift at work just ended, you git. I've been gone all day. JW [sent at 19:35]

I've been talking to you for hours, though. SH [sent at 19:36]

Of course you have. Just get going, will you? JW [sent at 19:37]

Fine. SH [sent at 19:37]

[incoming call from: Sherlock Holmes]

[call accepted]

"Hello?"

"It's Sherlock."

"I can see that."

"Oh."

"Is there something you needed?"

"I didn't see you this morning."

"And?"

"And I wanted to say good morning."

"It's hardly morning anymore."

"I still wanted to say it."

"Then say it."

"Good morning."

"Good morning, Sherlock."

"John?"

"You'd better be in your cab right now, I'm half way there."

"I am."

"Alright, good. Okay."

"John?"

"Yes?"

"I love you."

"Oh, I've got to go, my cab just stopped. Love you, too."

[called disconnected]

I'm such an arse. JW [sent at 19:46]

I walked in and only just realized we hadn't said that yet. JW [sent at 19:46]

Oh, did you? SH [sent at 19:47]

Sorry. JW [sent at 19:47]

There's nothing to apologize for. I was expecting a stunned silence, not a unthought out rushed reciprocation. SH [sent at 19:48]

Is 'unthought out rushed reciprocation' a good thing? JW [sent at 19:48]

I'd say it is. SH [sent at 19:49]

Damn, less than a month in and we've both already said it. JW [sent at 19:49]

I've thought it for several months. I'm not surprised at all. SH [sent at 19:50]

Wait a second. You've thought this for months and you didn't say anything? JW [sent at 19:51]

That is what I said. SH [sent at 19:51]

Why didn't you? JW [sent at 19:52]

I think this is one of the only types of conversations I'd like to have face to face. SH [sent at 19:52]

Right. Course. When we get home, then. JW [sent at 19:53]

When we get home. SH [sent at 19:53]

This came out of literally no where (misuse of literally, sorry).

If you didn't already know, I like when people review.
