CAN YOU FUCKING BELIEVE JOHN

What? Really?

Normally I wouldn’t even consider this, but, well, I can’t deny that you’re very attractive, John Watson. You’re a soldier! I do have a thing for soldiers, that’s true. Did you notice that already? Surely you have. That’s probably why you’re propositioning me.

It’s that commanding voice that gets me. What were you, a Captain? hmm, well, yes, I can’t deny that that’s pretty interesting to many different parts of me. Not parts I usually pay much attention to, but I’ll admit they’re hard to ignore with you sitting there. Being an ex-soldier. With your…face.

Could this be…well, maybe. That would be out of character for me, wouldn’t it? Ha!

The limp and the tremor are clearly a temporary problems, I could probably fix both of those for you tonight. If you wanted. And it seems you do. I can do that. I’ll fix you. Then can I keep you? How novel! A…friend. What a thought!

Oh, who am I kidding, I don’t do relationships. I’d be terrible at it, for one. Imagine the havoc that would wreak on the work! What am I thinking! I can’t get distracted! I’m not that sort of man, John, you’ll learn that soon enough. You’ll realise later on what kind of bullet you just dodged. Let’s keep things simple. I may regret this later, but…well, some of us just aren’t made for that sort of thing.

You’ll be my companion though, won’t you? You’ll stay with me, you’ll help me, let me talk to you, run across rooftops and confront every murderer we can find? Everything I do is about the work, you understand. That’s the main thing. If you’ll join me, well. That could be…very nice.
