These past few chapters I've gotten a lot of love. Thank you all so much! :D
Only to Use Him
Sherlock looked up from his book in surprise, but it quickly fell away into a smile. "John."
"I heard it ring midnight," said John, gesturing with his thumb over his shoulder at the grandfather clock in the corner of the room. "I just wanted to wish you a happy Christmas."
"Likewise," Sherlock said, marking his place in his book.
"Did you find your gift for Mycroft?"
Sherlock's expression darkened. "I was trying to get a tank full of camel spiders, but they couldn't deliver on such short notice."
"I thought you were trying to make things better with him?"
"Only to use him."
