Just a thought

"You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."

Summary: Watson wonders about his companion.

NO ONE ELSE

Watson wondered if he’d have gotten mixed up with Holmes if he’d known just how eccentric he was. He was sure no one else had to put up with severed heads along side their lettuces in the refrigerator. He was sure no one else had to worry about getting shot when his best friend was shooting at the wall because he was bored. He was sure no one had to worry about his friend chasing circus people down dark alleys in the middle of the night

There were a lot of things he was sure no one else had to put up with.

He’d had no idea what to say when Holmes told him he was married to ‘the work’. He gave up trying to tell people that they weren’t a couple. Everyone assumed they were.

He’d had even less idea what to say when Holmes had come into his room after the Pink killer tried to kill him with his game. Holmes had said nothing at all, just dropped his robe and crawled into bed beside John, snuggling close to him, and then promptly closing his eyes and going to sleep.

John just kissed his cool cheek and sighed.
