Oh, just shut it. [ Man, he's great at summoning the energy to be offended. Don't you know not mentioning these things renders them irrelevant? ]

If John's not willing to put up with it, god knows it's a serious issue. Give him some time, try talking about it. And if you two really can't find a compromise... I won't lie, if it gets down to that then it might be for the best anyway.

[deduce]

Might be the best for what?

[consultsdetective]

[ Entirely patiently: ]

For John. And you.

[deduce]

<sub>[ Sherlock disagrees. He simply stares at Lestrade - they both know John has been the best thing in Sherlock's life.

They both know what Sherlock would be without him.

Jokingly, ]</sub>

What's your take on rebound sex?

_{[ or is it. ]}

[consultsdetective]

[ He meets the stare with a generally helpless shrug. It's the best he's got, god knows that trying to give Sherlock Holmes solace over a breakup is a regular trip up Mount Everest. The question is answered easily and quickly enough. ]

Good today, regretted tomorrow. [ Or... whenever it is that John makes the first step in patching things up. Assuming this is like nearly any aspect of their life, where he makes concessions and somehow doesn't haul off and punch Sherlock in the face. If it's not, well. Really a pity. ]

[deduce]

Regretted by whom? <sub>[ Because Sherlock doesn't regret, he just does. Maybe that's why John's unhappy. Hm.

He starts stripping his jacket off, leaning against the cabinet behind him, fingers idly playing with a marker. ]</sub>

Do you miss me?

[consultsdetective]

[ Narrows his eyes and picks a file up to thumb through. ]

I'm sure you'd like to know.

[deduce]

That's a yes, then.

_{[ And oh, he's smiling, of course he is. You're too easy to read, Lestrade. ]}

[consultsdetective]

[ EYEROLL. Look at this amazing eyeroll. ]

Aren't you professional.

[deduce]

_{[ Sherlock is amused and he has absolutely no interest in hiding that. ]}

No, but you've always known that. Are you still hoping for a second chance with your wife? I'd suggest just ending it, but then I've never been the best judge of sentiment.

[consultsdetective]

She's my wife. That little 'better or worse' spiel wasn't just in the vows to take up space.
