Pairing: Sherlock/John
Rating: G
It’s been two weeks since our last case. The first week, Sherlock was only just starting to feel the itch of boredom. Now, however, his brain is scratching itself raw, and I can tell, and I wish I could help but I feel like he’s far beyond my reach. The noise of his brilliant thoughts must be deafening when there’s nothing to focus them on.
Still, I have to try. Settling next to him where he’s hunched in on himself on the couch, I lean against him. “Tell me something, anything.”
Slowly but surely, he talks and I simply listen.
