Birthday greetings

[daylyn]

Happy Birthday to rabidsamfan! (hey, it may be late, but it's still your birthday here in California, for another 3 hours and 8 minutes anyway).

To celebrate, here's a little slice (of life) drabble in Baker Street:

------

Holmes eyed the cake suspiciously. “Do you honestly believe that Watson is going to eat that… monstrosity?”

Mrs. Hudson suppressed a sigh (and a desire to hit her tenant with a pan). “The Doctor enjoys my baking efforts.”

“There is no reason to deluge Watson with that confectionary nightmare simply because it is his birthday.”

“Just because you are some sort of abnormality who loathes chocolate doesn’t mean that he has to suffer!”

Watson burst in the room. “I say, Holmes, have you seen—oh my! Chocolate cake!”

Watson immediately cut a slice as Holmes shuddered and Mrs. Hudson beamed.

Hooray! I bounced straight over to read this, you know. Thank you!

And lucky Watson -- he gets all the cake for himself! Silly detective, doesn't know what he's missing.

Well... maybe he has a chocolate allergy (or really, he's just silly. I'm sure it's Mycroft's fault that he's afraid doesn't like chocolate).

Hope you had a great birthday!

Does Mycroft's depravity know no bounds? Dooming his own flesh and blood to a lifelong hatred of chocolate is just plain evil.

This made me giggle :)

Well, I'm sure that Mycroft's evil plan was implemented so that he would have all the chocolate for himself.

Poor, deprived Sherlock. Hopefully Watson will kiss him after eating a mouthful of cake, and Holmes will learn the error of his ways (and the depths of Mycroft's plots).

Glad you liked it!

H: "No, John, I absolutely refuse. A man must draw the line somewhere. I will not go about kissing men who insist upon putting such abhorrent things in their mouths."
W: "It's only chocolate, Holmes. Foul a vice as it is, many people learn to love those who indulge in it. Besides, it's my birthday." *pouts, making full use of moustache for enhancement of same*
H: *sighs* "Oh, very well. But remember this the next time I wake you at three AM to hear one of my experiments on the violin."
W: "Your basial talents were already what kept me throttling you when you wake me to listen to your violin experiments at three AM."
H: "Fair enough."
*There follows a period of mutually contented snogging*
H: "You know, Watson... that was not at all bad. In fact... I think I rather enjoyed it."
W: *rolling eyes* "How wonderful to hear."
H: *not listening* "That flavour is not at all what I remembered it to be. I wonder if..." *Stops suddenly, eyes narrowing* "MYCROFT!"

YES!!!!!

Poor, poor Sherlock. Hmm... although now, I wonder whether he will confront Mycroft.

H: "Oh brother mine, I'd like to talk to you about chocolate."
M: *sweats*

*giggle* Oh, to be a fly on the wall for THAT conversation!
