Title: A Cup Of Tea
Word Count: 150
Rating: G
Original/Fandom: Fandom; Sherlock
Characters/Pairings: John
Warnings (Non-Con/Dub-Con/RPF etc): Spoilers for 2x03, Mentioned Character Death.
Summary: John makes a cup of tea.
It had been weeks, probably months but he hadn’t bothered to change the calendar, since Sherlock...
He put three sugars in one cup and left the other.
He was mostly used to it. He’d moved back into his old flat to minimise any reminders of him.
He poured the water when the kettle boiled.
He didn’t visit his grave when Mrs Hudson invited him to. He didn’t take the token retainer job as a consulting physician that Lestrade had offered him.
Just a touch of milk.
He just went back to his life as it had been before Sherlock had rushed in and turned it all to chaos.
He tapped the spoon the rim of each cup and carried them both over to the table.
“Sherlock, I’ve made you...” He stopped midway through his shout, his own unconscious tea making habit stabbing him like a knife in the gut. “...tea.”
