“Under your mattress,” Watson amended. “Remember, it's no use trying to hide it from him. But if it's under your mattress, he won't be able to retrieve it without waking you.”
John nodded. Clever. “Anything else?”
“The most important rule, John,” Wilson reminded him. “Try not to feed his already-planet-sized ego.”
“Right, right,” John said. It was the rule he knew he'd struggle with the most. It was hard for him not to compliment Sherlock whenever he did something extraordinary, which was just about every other minute. But Watson and Wilson had assured him that the urge to praise Sherlock too much would fade over time.
John's phone buzzed in his pocket. They got good reception here between universes, he noticed.
Predictably, the text was from Sherlock, tersely telling him to meet him at St. Bart's.
“I've got to go,” he told his lunch-mates. Watson and Wilson gave him knowing looks, but said nothing of it. They just shook his hand and promised to meet again for lunch soon.
Wilson watched John leave. His voice tinged with sarcasm, he said, “Poor new guy. So young and optimistic.” He turned to Watson, smiling dryly. “Remember when we were that stupid?”
“My dear Wilson,” Watson said, standing and placing his hat on his head. “We still are.”
Wilson smirked in self-deprecating agreement, and then they both departed, returning to the Holmeses who awaited them.

I fricking love Watson and Wilson giving John advice, and then chuckling over him being 'young and optimistic' before admitting they're still no better XD

This is ridiculous and awesome.
Never believe him if he tells you he's dying.
Hahahaha, I approve.
(But just like when RDJ!Holmes throws the violin onto the ground in the movie, the thought of a violin under a mattress makes me hurt. I assume you probably meant a violin inside its case, but seeing that scene in the film scarred me for life, LOL. I literally have to cover my eyes like a preschooler when it comes on, idek.)
Love it! I've been seeing little things in Sherlock like gestures or ways of saying lines that remind me of different incarnations of the pair (up to and including some handthing John did that was incredibly Robert Sean Leonard), so this was delightful.

It's a trick that both House and canon!Holmes have pulled multiple times...

I would hope Watson would put it in its case first, yes! Then again, he had one hell of a temper in the movie. I can imagine that, in a fit of temper, he doesn't really care about the well-being of Holmes' violin. :(
I'm sure John will treat Sherlock's property with much more respect.
Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

Oh, I didn't even think about House! "The Adventure of the Dying Detective" was, naturally, the first thing in my mind, but he does do it rather a lot, especially to the ducklings. Nice!
