he didn’t want to get in the middle of this . this was an entirely stupid argument that he could do without , & yet , they both wanted him to take their side . he’s pouring out tea into his mug , then , on second thought , he’s grabbing two more , just to be fair . maybe the tea would help them to settle . he brings sherlock’s over first , tucking it into his hands . ❝ i really don’t believe a single word that’s coming out of your mouth right now . if you weren’t capable of human emotion , then you wouldn’t have kept me around , would you ? called me your best friend ? comforted me when i was having a breakdown ? think about it . you may not even realize it , but you are perfectly feeling . as for you ———— ❞ he’s turning to rosie now , handing over her mug of tea . ❝ maybe uncle sherlock doesn’t want to put every aspect of his personal life out there , did you think of that ? when a person’s comfortable saying something like that , they will . in their own time . so , leave off it . ❞
The tea is instantly accepted. He needs some calming tea right about now because he’s done with this entire thing. SO UTTERLY DONE. He wants nothing more than toLEAVE. Escape this entire conversation by leaving the flat and taking a walk. He’s ready to flee, five seconds away from fleeing if he doesn’t calm himself.
“……..” John’s right, if he wasn’t capable of human emotion, he wouldn’t keep John around or care about them BOTH so much. If anything were to happen to them, he’scertain he’d be DEVASTATED. To feel that way, he MUST care. But love? He’s not sure if any of it is love.
He brings the tea up to his lips to take a sip of it, hoping it will soon calm him before he runs away from this entire thing. “…..There’s nothing to talk about. There’s no personal life to put out there. I’m not in love with anyone. Why is that so difficult to accept? John’s my best friend, that’s all.”
her eyes just flicked between them both , happily accepting the tea. she needed to work out how to make the pair see what she saw. idiots , men are idiots. THAT was the conclusion of this story and sherlock was the biggest idiot of them all. she tried not to let a smug grin form on her lips as she heard that sherlock didn’t have a response to her dad remark that sherlock was capable of human emotion. see , you’re human , she thought mentally.
“JESUS CHRIST , are you two as thick as shit. i know guys are idiots but you two must be the king of the idiots.”a small huff escaped her lips , before taking a sip of her drink. “sherlock admitted he liked liked someone and all i’m saying is he needs to tell that person because they person likes him too and i’m pretty sure it’s been for a LONG ASS TIME.”she commented , slouching on the couch. “and i know who it is and if he doesn’t say he likes the person in a romantic way , i will because i’m fed up of being piggy in the middle.”
