It takes almost two weeks for Sherlock to come online.

Then two hours to track down Jim, and another twenty minutes to decide what to send.

He settles on a picture of the ghastly Christmas jumper he'd been given, laid out on the bed, shredded by little kitten claws.

Jim has to laugh, and he considers sending him a photo of the man Colin had garroted, but he felt that didn't have the same cheer to it.

So he sends him a beautiful photo of a winter sunset in Madrid. Looks like he'd been shipped off after all.

If I had you here I would nevr let you out of my sight even if it meant a bloody battle.

He sends one night, plainly high. Sherlock Holmes doesn't make typing errors.

Romantic.

And then, a few moments later.

You don't mean that.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

There's no answer for a few minutes, before he manages;

Help Jim help I hate it

[napoleonofcrime]

I'll bring you to me.

Sudden, and promised.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

No I have to stay.

He knows that. There's no escaping it.

Are you going to have Christmas presents other than mine?

[napoleonofcrime]

Cash transfer into my account. I can buy you a plane ticket.

Spend holiday in Madrid with me.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

My mother is

He cuts off there.

I can't leave.

[napoleonofcrime]

Mycroft won't let me near your house. Be okay until I can see you again.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

Why do you put up with me? Not that you're precisely balanced yourself.

[napoleonofcrime]

Because you're not an idiot, most of the time.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

I'm going to stop this self-indulgence for now. I will be clean and steady for the new semester.

There was a triple homicide in the town last night. It isn't immediately obvious, for once. We can solve it when we get back.

[napoleonofcrime]

I look forward to it. And I'll know if you take anything at school, so don't bother.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

You sound like Mycroft.

[napoleonofcrime]

Don't lower your life expectancy further.

I like you.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

I like you too. If you can not murder classmates for me, I can do this for you.

[napoleonofcrime]

Although, maybe we can get high together sometime. I want to be with you, like this.

He hesitates before sending it, and almost regrets it after.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

Now or with bodies? I'm never frightened when I'm like that.

He answers, biting his cheek at the invitation, the implication that there would be more there. But he doesn't doubt there would be.

[napoleonofcrime]

When we're together. But I can get something tonight if you want.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

No, I'm coming down. Once is a slip, twice is a habit.

[napoleonofcrime]

Good.

That sweater was hideous.

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

Godot loved it. Mycroft hates him, so he's staying.

[napoleonofcrime]

The cat is Godot?

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

Yes. He keeps eating human flesh though.

[napoleonofcrime]

Is it too late to ask if I can keep him?
