It starts as a blog post.
Sometimes I think he's nothing but a head on legs. Really, ridiculously long legs.
(Backspace key clicks till it's gone, but the thought won't be deleted.)
Next week, and Sherlock gets a knife to his ribs. The red is striking against his pale skin, and John frowns and fusses and clicks his tongue in disapproval to disguise how much of shame it is to sponge it away.
It's only transport, John. Stop hovering.
(Red and white and flashing silver haunt his dreams after that. He wakes up panting.)
He won't eat. Skin and bones, he is. Skin and bones and brain.
Chinese? Busy.
(The body is shriveling away beneath him. The thoughts are all that matter.)
Boredom makes Sherlock restless. It makes him yell and sulk and shoot things for the bulletholes. It makes John's blood run cold. It makes his fingers itch with the want to snatch the gun and paint those bulletholes red.
There must be something happening in this bloody great city. I can't be the only one who gets bored.(He isn't
