What friends are for
It took a while for John to notice but once he did, he couldn’t not notice it.
Now and then, when the case was solved and they were just making some small talk and Lestrade seemed about to say something, Sherlock would cut him short and then walk away.
After he had witnessed that a few times, John decided to confront Sherlock about this.
“So. What’s going on with you and Greg?”
“Hm?”
“Uh, no. You of all people do not get to play stupid. You know exactly what I’m talking about. What do you not want him to say to me?”
Sherlock’s head came up very fast, indicating surprise and worry, and John realised that he had drawn the wrong conclusion.
“Oh. What do you not want him to say to you?”
He sighed. “He wants me to go looking for some trinket for Molly with him. He seems to have based that decision on the erroneous assumption that I would know what kind of jewellery she’d like.”
“Isn’t that nice? He values your opinion.”
Sherlock huffed and John let the matter drop.
Two weeks later Sherlock came home with a very grumpy look on his face.
“What happened?”
“Lestrade forced me to go shopping with him.”
“How?”
“That new exciting case we have? He threatened to have me banned.”
