Someone shoves Jim on a staircase and spits a slur.
They take a nasty tumble out of a second story window later that afternoon. Bad luck, really.
That evening, Sherlock breaks into his room to read. He's half way through a scathing analysis of the portrayal of crime in the media by the time he comes back.

Breathless, a little. He'd come as soon as he'd heard about it.
no subject

"Anyways, do as I say, not as I do."
no subject
"I'll do whatever the hell I want. But I appreciate you winning my battles for me."
no subject

no subject
Stepping inside, watching hum- he's not immune to the strange allure Sherlock practically exudes.
no subject
But it's also a very much returned sentiment. He looks up at Jim, and thinks it dreadful that he would break bones for him.
"You're so dramatic."
no subject
He closes the door behind him, dropping into a chair.
"Why did you do it, anyway?"
no subject
He shrugs.
"Lurching for balance, the threat of the plummet, the consequence of a misstep."
no subject
He leans back and stares up at the ceiling, slowly spinning in the chair.
"Maybe you should push me out of a window; see if I can feel it."
no subject
Sherlock informs him, closing the book.
no subject
Perking up, glancing back at him.
no subject
He says, meeting his eyes. That's all he has to do, sometimes.

And then, in early December, they have classes canceled for snow. And Sherlock isn't in the next class, either. Or the next.
Which is when Jim gets a text;

MH
no subject
Jim still doesn't knock; he simply opens the door and slides right in.

"-Sherlock?"
no subject
"Hello."
no subject
He frowns.
no subject
no subject
Pointed.
no subject
He can't even be brought to feel the usual malice he does when Mycroft pokes his nose in.
no subject
Softly.
"I'll bring you drugs and bodies and books and forensic reports."
no subject
He admits, staring at the wall. And why it's taken him so hard this time.
"I usually know the boredom very well."
no subject
Crouching in front of him, trying to meet his eyes.
