[John was sitting in his chair reading the paper when Sherlock stormed in. As Sherlock built the telescope, John didn't say a word. He just stared silently the entire time until the whole darn thing was assembled. It wasn't until Sherlock was finished that John asked:]

Sherlock... what are you doing?

xD

[imbored]

[Sherlock glances up at him for the first time, furrowing his brow. His voice is impatient.] Putting together a telescope.

[He taps his finger against his chin and picks up John's laptop before settling into a seat on the couch, fingers typing frantically the minute he's set it on his lap.] It's almost time.

[you_dont_work_alone]

That's my--oh to hell with it.

[He drops his paper on the table next to him.]

Almost time for what?

[imbored]

[He looks up from the couch, exasperated. Do keep up, John.] For my theory to be proved correct.

[you_dont_work_alone]

And what theory is that?

[He didn't even know Sherlock was working on a new theory that needed a telescope.]

[imbored]

[Sherlock smiles knowingly.] That telescopes are not only used for stargazing.

[He moves to the kitchen, pouring out the water in the kettle and filling it up again.] You read about the attack that happened two blocks from here. [It's not a question.] A woman was assaulted on her rooftop.

[you_dont_work_alone]

You're using the telescope to spy on people? Of course you are.

[Makes sense, since Sherlock has no interest in stargazing.]

You might try using it to look at a few stars, though.

[ooc: Sorry for the delay! Was sick in bed a few days.]

[imbored]

Wrong. [It's said crisply, but not without a small thrill.] I'm using the telescope to spy on people who are spying on people.

[He pushes up his sleeves and waves a hand dismissively.] Stars are boring.



[ooc: Now I'm sorry! RL has been crazy.]

[you_dont_work_alone]

Maybe if you take it onto the roof you can spy on each other.

[He wasn't being serious.]

Do you have any idea who you're looking for?
