❛ oh great, it's you again. ❜

❛ you? kill me? that's funny. ❜

❛ for being someone you hate, i'm sure on your mind a lot. ❜

❛ you're the last person i wanted to see, actually. ❜

❛ do us both a favor. stay away from me. ❜

❛ you really are an asshole, you know that? ❜

❛ i'm the asshole? what does that make you then? ❜

❛ sometimes i think you must hate me. ❜

❛ i thought you said you never wanted to see me again. ❜

❛ if you want me to go, then you have to tell me to leave. ❜

❛ well, someone's cranky today. ❜

❛ well, someone needs to shut the fuck up. ❜

❛ just stay out of my way. ❜

❛ of all the idiots in the world, i'm stuck with you. ❜

❛ what is it you want this time? ❜

❛ sometimes i wonder if you're in love with me. ❜

❛ do you honestly think this is easy for me? ❜

❛ why would i ever want to be friends with you? ❜

❛ can we please just talk? ❜

❛ there is nothing for us to talk about. ❜

❛ you can yell at me later. just let me help you. ❜

❛ touch me, and you're dead. ❜

❛ oh, so now you care? ❜

❛ there is something deeply wrong with you. ❜

❛ i know i'm the last person you probably want to see, but... ❜

❛ you don't think we could be friends, do you? ❜

❛ i'm tired of fighting against you. ❜

❛ don't pretend you give a shit about me. ❜

❛ you're an idiot, but... i trust you. ❜

❛ oh, don't be cute. ❜

❛ wait, did you just say that i'm cute? ❜

❛ we're not good for each other. ❜

❛ if i say yes, will you shut up? ❜

❛ don't you have to be stupid somewhere else? ❜

❛ maybe we should kiss just to break the tension. ❜

❛ i'm sorry i can't turn off my feelings as easily as you. ❜

❛ maybe there's a universe out there where we're friends. ❜

❛ how can you be so smart yet so dumb at the same time? ❜

❛ don't think this changes anything between us. ❜

❛ you look ridiculous in that outfit, by the way. ❜

❛ if you die, i'll kill you. ❜

❛ is that a challenge? ❜

❛ ah, so you're not heartless after all. ❜

❛ i don't think i've ever seen you smile. ❜

❛ you never cared about me, so why now? ❜

❛ why didn't you kill me when you had the chance? ❜

❛ i don't even remember why we started fighting. ❜

❛ i don't have time for distractions right now. ❜

❛ you're not as bad as everyone says you are. ❜

❛ enemies make the best lovers, you know. ❜

"Exactly." Sherlock snaps their fingers, pointing towards Watson." I asked her how she got the letter and she provided that the maid had delivered it with the rest of the mail. Which means that there are two possibilities, either whoever wrote them passed themselves off as the postman or the letter was already inside the house, it could have been left somewhere making the made assume she had dropped it."

They hum." Of course there is a third option that it had been the maid herself but that seems careless, not thought out."

Of course, the prospect of a new puzzle at hand immediately distracted Watson from his childish envy. Then again, this fascination with puzzles could also be termed childish, couldn't it?

" 'Collector', you say?" He stepped forward towards Holmes and the letter in his hand. "Perhaps someone is hoping for 're possession' of lost items?" Watson was now completely absorbed by the mystery. What an excellent strategy, Holmes.

"But Holmes, if there was no address, how could she have got the letter? It certainly wouldn't have been delivered to her?"

Sherlock didn't make an effort to move, they did enjoy this, very much so." Since you asked so kindly Watson I will share with you what she has told me in confidence, nothing to exciting I assure you but curious nonetheless." With that they took a step back, turning completely so that they could reach the desk in the room, holding up a letter that had been left behind.

" She came to me with a request, you see, someone has sent this lady a letter declaring to steal her precious jewels, her husband seems to be a collector of sorts, gifting her something new every so often." They hum." There is no address on the envelope and only her name is written on the back."

Oh, they were absolutely enjoying this, weren't they? Of course, Watson couldn't have that. No, he would not admit defeat so easily.

Gently, folding the newspaper, Watson peered into Holmes' eyes in return. "I was merely being polite, old chap. Nothing wrong with that, is there?"

"Then again, if you didn't enjoy me 'pestering' you so much, you wouldn't have me around now, would you?" He moved to stand up, never taking his eyes off the other. "So, why don't you spare us both... whatever this is and just tell me what the lady wanted that had to be so discreetly mentioned?" A light smile on his lips, he waited for Holmes' answer.

[elementxrymydear]

John didn't answer, she was right in her observation, they came as a pair but as of late it seemed as if Sherlock had been avoiding him, hiding something from the former doctor and no matter how many times he insisted that they tell him Holmes just gave an excuse." Yes, lovely."

Watson sighs, Irene had made her intentions clear and there was no use on telling her to live." Aren't you always playing games? Chasing after each other hoping the other has the upper hand." He takes a sit as well." What information is this? I'll be sure it pass it along."

Irene gave a small raise of her brows "oh John, we both know that isn't quite true" she mused gently, "let me guess, they are off on a case and failed to bring you along? Come on, we both know you two come as a pair" a small smile formed across her features, arms folding over her chest. "I find it rather..sweet. The detective and their doctor" now she definitely was teasing.

"Who said Holmes and I are playing games? I was rather hoping to see Sherlock but beggars can hardly be choosers" Irene stated simply taking a seat on one of the chairs, one leg folding over the other. "I have some information, although I am sure I can trust you with whatever I pass on?"

[elementxrymydear]

"No." Sherlock repeats, the newspaper now discarded to the side." Yet I'm not convinced my dear friend." Pushing themselves from their sit, Holmes takes careful steps towards Watson, now that he had peaked their interest they would not let go so easily, teasing him was part of the fun.

" Then why even ask if you were not interested Watson? Seems counter productive." A slender finger pushes down on the paper, there was nowhere to hide." I always wish to included you but having you ask does delight me quite a bit."

"No!" That came out rather too quick and loud for his liking.

"Of course I'm not... that." His interest in his newspaper grew very much in that moment, and his mouth grew small. "What you do in your own time, Holmes, is your own business. And if you don't wish to include me, I shan't intrude, of course." He all but mumbled to the newspaper, eyes too fixated on one spot, unmoving.

Oh, but he did. He very much wanted to intrude.

@speciesofhurt

"did you two have a nice chat?"

Sherlock stops their reading, slowly glancing over at Watson from the newspaper, they had been waiting for him to speak up, say anything. " Yes, we had a lovely chat." They decide then that reading could wait, wanting their full attention on the man in front of them." Watson, are you jealous? I would be happy to share any details you may be curious to."

PROMPTS FOR A LITTLE JEALOUSY *  assorted dialogue for when you see the person you're interested in with someone else and go... hey wait a minute, adjust as necessary

are you two... together?

i should probably ask if you're single first.

who was that you were talking to?

did you two have a nice chat?

are we really doing this now?

what was that all about?

i don't like it when they touch you.

they need to learn to keep their hands off you.

are you trying to make me jealous?

you just gave me the impression we were exclusive.

who was that, anyway?

was that someone you know?

it's completely innocent.

were you flirting with them?

that was a little bit excessive.

they were flirting with you.

i'm not jealous.

i'm upset with you.

they didn't mean anything by that.

i just thought we had something going on.

they know i have feelings for you.

i hate it when you get jealous.

i'm two seconds away from throwing a punch.

they did that on purpose.

wait a minute... are you jealous?

you have no reason to worry.

i'm not interested in them, i promise.

they do get a little touchy-feely, i'll admit.

they don't mean anything by it.

did they just try to kiss you?

we're just really good friends!

you know i only have eyes for you.

please ignore them, okay?

it's not like i'm in love with you or anything.

they're just trying to upset you.

i just don't like it when someone else flirts with you.

i don't blame them, of course, but you're mine.

next time someone tries to hit on you, call me over.

i'll give them a piece of my mind.

they know you're taken, right?

i didn't want to get in your way.

clearly your mind is elsewhere.

if you'd rather be with them, then just tell me.

i need to know where we stand.

can we be more exclusive?

i just don't like it when they talk to you like that.

you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

if they make you happy... i can't stop it.

maybe i have a crush on you. so what?

there was a better way to go about this, you know.

you could have been a little bit nicer.

did you have to be so nasty about it?

i'm going to scream.

i don't want anything coming in between us.

you trust me, don't you?

if you trust me, you have nothing to worry about.

this jealousy of yours is getting a little bit out of control.

i love only you.

why do they have to hold your hand like that?

they couldn't keep their hands off you.

i hate watching you deal with that.

i should give them a piece of my mind.

what? me? jealous? never.

i think i'm allowed a little jealousy every now and then.

you're mine, and i want everyone to know that.

did you just... get jealous over me?

you said you weren't the jealous type.

starter for @tcbefearless

Sherlock can't stop the grin from spreading on their lips. " What gave it away?" They ask her, shrugging their shoulders back." Is it a surprise that I would be stalling? I thought we were waiting for Watson before going ahead with this." It did seem that the good doctor wasn't going to show up leaving them with Irene, not the best of ideas.

" We are not attached at the hip Irene, Sherlock has their life as do I." She wasn't wrong, must of his days Watson was more than happy to follow Holmes around but this time Holmes had not shared the details of the case, instead only a note had been left behind telling him not worry and that they would be back but of course the former doctor couldn't help but fret over the situation. " You have said hello, anything else?"

John frowns slightly." It's a good thing that I used to be a doctor, I would have patched you up." He sighs, keeping the gun away, this wasn't his a idea of an evening well spent." Irene, if it is Holmes you seek than I'm afraid to tell you that they are not around, whatever games you two have decided to play with one another I would like to not be a part of."

Irene had her hand raised in peace, of course it was her own fault for following in the first place. Though Ms Adler could hardly help herself when it came to Sherlock Holmes. The detective was her muse, yet seeing John she lowered her hands to fall back by her side. "Oh you know how it is Doctor Watson. I was in the neighborhood, thought I'd pop by to say hello" her American accent was clear, New Jersey lilt thick on her tongue, blonde curls resting upon her shoulders. "I am surprised you aren't following Sherlock around like a lost puppy" a slight smirk formed across rose tinted lips, of course she was teasing, but it had always been fun winding up Watson.

"If you shot me then what would you tell Holmes?" Another tease. Of course she wandered through 221b as if it were her own home. "Wouldn't be too pleased you shot the only woman, to have bested them" It was a few years ago now Bohemia, but it was etched in her memory as clear as if it happened yesterday.
