Conversing over Lists

by RittannasFire

They have a deal; John does the shopping, Sherlock pays for it in exchange for John picking up some things for his experiments.

"Sherlock! Sherlock I am not buying a pair of woman's high heels!"

"But John I need them for—"

"Yes I know! An experiment! Always an experiment, but not this time Sherlock, this time you can find some other way to get them."

"I fail to see why this should be such a problem. You didn't argue about picking up clown costume for me and most people would find that the more humiliating."

"That was humiliating! Especially as you didn't specify beforehand that you had requested a pink one! That is exactly the reason I am refusing now, I have had enough humiliation for one week."

"I explained about that John! It was a rental and the—"

"Yes, Sherlock I know, but that doesn't make it any less embarrassing to be seen picking up a pink sequined clown costume. Nor does it mean that I am going to do this now."

"Sherlock-!"

"You said—"

"No. Never. Ever. Ever. You can have someone else pick up your special 'size seven and a half red high healed stilettos with open toes.' Or better yet, get then yourself!"
