S. Holmes | 63!Sherlock

Re: S. Holmes | 63!Sherlock

[onbakerst]

You probably don't exasperate me quite as much as I let on.

[onbakerst]

Oh, no? Most find me to be incredibly exasperating. It sets me apart from the common masses.

[onbakerst]

I'd noticed, yes. Sometimes I think you do it on purpose.

[onbakerst]

No. The only acting I do is to obtain what I need when solving a case.

[onbakerst]

And I wonder about that, sometimes. How sincere you are in your detachment, how much of it's just a method of shutting people out.

I overthink these things, clearly.

[onbakerst]

Don't be preposterous. I don't need anyone, not in that sentimental way most others need people.

[onbakerst]

Of course not. You're Holmes. When Donne said "No man is an island" he clearly had no way of predicting the Holmeses.

[onbakerst]

And yet you don't find me as exasperating as you let on, which something I expect that I know already.

[onbakerst]

I expect you do. Like I expect you know that I do care about you, even if you think it's sentimental nonsense.

[onbakerst]

[A pause.] Sentiment will lead to your downfall if you aren't careful. I am not a person to be cared for.

[onbakerst]

Aren't you? Or are you only saying that because no one ever has?

[onbakerst]

What does it matter?

[onbakerst]

It matters.

[onbakerst]

To you. I don't need any of it.

[onbakerst]

Maybe not. But it does matter to me. And I'm the one who has to live with not doing something that matters to me.
