“It’s not bad it’s just... I’m on a case.”
“Oh.” John feels the hope die, and wishes it would just stay dead.
Sherlock sighs. “What you do in this situation?”
John considers telling Sherlock that he’d dump Daniel and focus on the work. For one minute he thinks that would be brilliant. And then he remembers Sherlock’s happy smile and knows he can’t do it.
“I suppose you have to explain about the work.”
Sherlock nods and then looks pensive. “What if he doesn’t understand?”
John inwardly sighs. “Then it’s his loss, Sherlock.”
Sherlock chews his lip.
“Look, he has a busy job too; surely he knows what it’s like? I bet he gets snowed under sometimes.”John wants to kick himself. Why does he have to be such a bloody understanding friend, why?
Although he thinks ‘understanding friend’ in this context is actually a stretch and really it means ‘complete doormat’.
Sherlock relaxes a little and gives John a quick smile. Then his thumb starts flying over the keys of his Blackberry, obviously composing a text to Daniel. He sends it with a fairly decisive tap and then spends the next few minutes nervously awaiting a reply. John tries to quell the nasty little part of him that wants Daniel to be not at all understanding about Sherlock’s work.
The message chime rings out in the quiet cab and Sherlock reads the text. And smiles.
“He’s taking me out for dinner as soon as the case is over.”
Damn him. Damn him for seeing just how much Sherlock is worth, even when he’s crazy and obsessed.
“Which means we have to miss out on our usual post case meal.” Sherlock frowns, “I could tell him I can’t do that night?”
Sherlock already has his phone primed and ready to send off another text.
“No, its fine, Sherlock.”John says. Even though those post case meals, when Sherlock is relaxed and loose and funny after days of being wound up are possibly the best times they have together. It wouldn’t be nearly as enjoyable knowing that Sherlock would rather be elsewhere.

*chokes on tears* Poor John!!! *hates Daniel* Though he does seem to be getting a bit more sinister... (Nobody is THAT perfect.) The scene in the stairwell just proves it. I can't wait for more. I'm thinking I need to hunt up a better supply of sap until we get to where John gets his man! *hopes he will in the end*
Re: The Everthere Part 7b/? shel_chanMay 24 2011, 04:02:34 UTC
(Makes me want to add "nobody is THAT perfect - except Mycroft", but that's just me being obsessed xD Anyway, I'm waiting with you, because I already feel like that lawyer guy deserves a decent smash in the jaw)
Re: The Everthere Part 7b/? hbomb90May 24 2011, 04:07:36 UTC
Doesn't he just though?! *hopes Sherlock and John BOTH get to give it to him* Although...after this last part (10), I'd LOVE to see Mycroft snap and punch him too... Am I bad for that? >.
Re: The Everthere Part 7b/? shel_chanMay 24 2011, 04:39:21 UTC
No, no no no, oh my God, you can't possibly imagine how incredibly excited has Mycroft's appearance in the part 10 made me xD PLUS I, too, am desperately hoping that one hit it the jaw will be brought to you sincerely by the government our fellow shipper :D
Re: The Everthere Part 7b/? hbomb90May 19 2011, 22:40:57 UTC
At this point I'm actually hoping Daniel turns out to be a right bastard so John will have the chance to punch him. If he turns out to be a cherry-picker, there won't be a hole in the world big enough for him to hide in.
Re: The Everthere Part 7b/? darthhellokittyMay 20 2011, 00:41:06 UTC
Oh, John, no! Tell him he CAN do that! Because he can! He doesn't have to do every little thing Boyfriend wants! And now Sherlock's going to think the post-case dinners don't mean anything to John... NO!
I like Sally being nicer to them now that she's dumped Anderson (heh heh Jurassic Park). And everyone being sympathetic to John, thinking they were together - so sad!

Oh god. I'm actually hoping Daniel is like a murderer or something at this point. I know he's a bit of a tosser, but nothing he's done so far actually deserves the level of burning hatred I have for him! I'm actually reading this and laughing at a: how much I want to punch his smarmy bastard face in, and b: how much this fic is pretty much the story of my damn life.
