A/N: Just in case if wasn't clear, most of these start out with John asking Sherlock about something on the shopping list. In this case he doesn't get much of a chance to.


"Sherlock—"

"Wilson case, need it to determine time of death."

"What about—"

"One of my contacts is addicted to them. Make sure you don't get the red ones, nasty side effects in large doses."

"And—"

"I used the old one for checking the alibi of the wife's neighbor in that cold case Lestrade sent over; The one with the wale pendant."

"The—"

"Mine has a hole in it. And no it wasn't the acid."

"Why do-"

"It's the missing item from Vincent O'Neil's desk. I believe it may be a murder weapon."

"I thought he was poisoned?"

"He was; it was the wife. But before that he killed his gardener."

"What gardener? They had a flat didn't they?"

"The one from his childhood home."

"If you say so. Now—"

"I have a craving, you're always telling me to eat more. So there, that's what I want to eat."

"Fine, but only if you eat something else when the case is over. Something healthy."

"That's what the—"

"That's not healthy Sherlock. I'm talking about something with fiber and protean; something with some substance to it."

"Fine then I'll have—"

"No not that either. How about—"

"I don't like them, would you be satisfied with—"

"Maybe, if you ate some—"

"Fine I'll have one. Only one!"

"Alright, I guess that'll do for now. But next time I'm picking out your post-case meal!"

"Fine, just so long as I can still have—"

"Yes you can eat it for desert; that means after everything else is gone!"

"Oh come on!"

"That's the deal Sherlock. Now what kind of—"

"Strawberry. No, blueberry. Or maybe apple?"

"I'll surprise you shall I? Do you really need—"

"Yes. It's vital. The one I have is entirely in adequate."

"Do I want to know what—"

"Probably not. Don't look so worried, it's nothing that will blow up or catch on fire or—"

"Or Stink for three days after I've made you throw it out?"

"That was only the one experiment John. You can't hold it against me forever, it's not fair."

"I'll hold it against you for as long I like Sherlock. I couldn't even stand to be in here for five minutes. I don't want that happening again."

"And I told you it won't, not without good reason."

"Can you at least give me some warning next time so I can find some were else to stay?"

"If you insist John."
