Road Trip
Title: Road Trip (Sherlock Holmes)
Author: notoriginalname
Pairing: Holmes/Watson (gen)
Summary: Holmes and Watson are stuck in a car on a long drive
Watson’s eyes narrowed when heard Holmes squirming in his seat for the umpteenth time.
“Do I have to pull over so you can relieve yourself?” Watson asked sarcastically.
“That will not be necessary.” Holmes replied brightly completely ignoring the sarcasm in Watson’s voice. “We will be there shortly, Watson. There is no reason for your impatience.” A few hours ago Watson may have protested, but after two hours in the car with Holmes he chose to look back to the road in lieu of replying.
They drove on in silence for five minutes before Holmes fidgeted again. When he saw Holmes reaching out with one hand, Watson knocked Holmes’ hand back without turning away from the road.
“You are not going to turn on the radio.” Watson said ignoring Holmes’ pout. Holmes reached out again to turn on the radio only to be rebuffed.
“But Watson it is imperative that we learn more about the people of this place! We can discover much about their culture simply by listening. Will you deny me this valuable source of information?”
“I will deny you this opportunity to annoy me.” Watson replied shortly then he continued with a sigh, “Holmes we are over 200 miles away from our destination and unless you want to be left on the side of the road you will amuse yourself silently.”
“Not even speaking? You would be so cruel as to deny me your sparkling conversation and sharp wit?” Holmes replied in his Watson-you-wound-me voice. When Watson did not respond Holmes made a show of turning his back to Watson in favor of staring out the side window.
Neither of them spoke and Watson soon was bored so he pushed the button for the radio. When the music started playing, Holmes whirled around to stare at Watson.
“Watson you are most cold. You won’t let me turn on the radio but not ten minutes later you turn it on yourself!”
“Holmes, as the driver I have certain privileges.” Watson replied calmly.
“Watson, I had no idea. Are you saying that the driver is permitted to blast music from the 60’s? And such abuse can be overlooked simply because one is driving a car?” Holmes commented with a raised eyebrow, “Perhaps I should investigate further.” Watson turned up the volume and started to sing along.
Out of the corner of his eye, Watson saw Holmes smiling slightly and singing along under his breath.
