Text Message Transcripts, vol 9

Fandom: Sherlock (BBC)
Character/s: Holmes, Watson
Word Count: 260
Rating: G
Summary: Sherlock is home alone. This is never a good thing.
Notes/Warnings: Shortest one yet. Then again, I don’t expect Watson would put up with this crap nearly half as long as Mycroft seems to.

Text Message Transcripts, vol 9

Tell Mycroft that I’m not interested.
SH

What???

Tell my brother that I am not interested in what he has to say.
SH

Why can’t you?

Because I’m not interested in communicating with him at all today.
SH

He’s just sent me another text. Have you told him yet?
SH

You have a working phone. I know this because you’re texting me with it. You do it.

I just told you to do it. Why is that so hard to understand?
SH

He’s phoning me now. This is entirely your fault.
SH

How is it my fault?

This conversation is going in circles. Also your fault.
SH

??????

That text was perfectly clear in its meaning.
SH

Fine. There. I told him. Happy?

No.
SH

Of course not.

Fetch me some tea.
SH

I’m at work!

So bring me some tea. It’s not that difficult.
SH

Work, Sherlock. It’s a concept that even a genius should be able to understand.

Your job is boring and a pointless waste of time.
SH

You did not just say that.

I think you’ll find that I did.
SH

Who cares if someone has the sniffles? They’re all just hypochondriacs anyway.
SH

Alright. You come down here and tell them that.

NO! Don’t! I didn’t mean that!

Where’s my tea?
SH

I told you twenty minutes ago. I’m at work.

Come home.
SH

Can’t.

Has someone glued you to your seat?
SH

What?

You’re perfectly capable of returning home. It’s a matter of won’t; not can’t.
SH

You’re arguing semantics with me now?

An argument suggests two-way communication. If anything, I’m lecturing you.
SH

Oh, yes. Silly me.

Not the adjective I’d have used.
SH

John?
SH

John?
SH

Awww. Yeah, John strikes me as the type who, at some point, would simply switch off his phone.

The only surprising part is he didn't turn it off much earlier. I think he leaves it on for the entertainment value. Also because he enjoys the flirting as much as Sherlock does :D

Then he became busy with his patients.

(I hate the fics where John answers his phone/looks at his texts while consulting with a patient. Extremely unprofessional - John would never do that (no doctor would, honestly). Here I assume he was between consultations when he was texting :-)

Also, love all your texting fics!

Always something to look forward to!
