Relationship guru M. Holmes
‘We need to talk. MH’
‘About?’
‘My brother. MH’
‘I don’t think so.’
‘I’m concerned. MH’
‘Nothing new then?’
‘This is different. I worry about his emotional state. MH’
‘You’ve got to be kidding me. MH every time?’
‘Force of habit.’
‘I don’t think Sherlock’s emotional state concerns anyone except him and me.’
‘This time’s different. He… needed advice.’
“He what?”
“Hello John. How nice of you to call.”
“Quit the crap, Mycroft. He asked you for advice? He never asks you for advice. I’m pretty sure he would prefer admitting that he was wrong to asking you for advice.”
“He did not actually ask. It was implied.”
“Implied in what?”
“…”
“Mycroft. What did you do? Implied in what?”
“His search history.”
“What the fuck, Mycroft? You were supposed to stop spying on us.”
“I have a prerogative as his older brother.”
“The hell you do.”
***
‘Hanging up on people is rather impolite. MH’
John was tempted to throw his phone against the wall. He checked Sherlock’s search history instead. Then he smiled.
In the end Sherlock did not have to worry about what to do on Valentine’s Day. They spent the evening debugging their computers, phones and the flat and then went to have a celebratory dinner at Angelo’s. It was rather fitting for them and therefore brilliant.

AN:
Today's prompt was 'Valentine's Day'.
Still in London. My feet hurt.
But I had the Sherlock Wrap at Speedys (yummy!) and bought a shiny feather thing for my hair!
