sometimes... i forget i'm still awake
"-crashing a date, Sherlock! My date! With Laura! Our first date!"
"And? Isn't it better that you found out she was a degenerate gambler before you got a second one?"
John gapes at him for a long moment.
"You-God, you genuinely believe you've done me a favor, don't you?" He pinches the bridge of his nose. "You know, sometimes, I forget I'm still awake, because this is... It's like living in a never-ending waking nightmare."
"If you're referring to your abhorrent taste in female company, then yes, it is."
That startles a disbelieving bark of laughter from John.
"Right. Right, I get the feeling that was supposed to be flattering, Sherlock, but..."
"But?"
"But it didn't work. At all. I need a drink. Somewhere else. Away from you. Don't wait up."
