Work Text:
Marcus: “I want to know why you’re so interested in this guy.”
Sherlock hangs up.
MB: You do know that Valentine’s Day is coming up.
SH: I must say I’m surprised at your sentimentality towards that over-commercialized day. I’m flattered that you thought of me. I know that’s what you were aiming for, yes?
MB: I WAS thinking of US for Valentine’s Day.
SH: Contrary to popular belief; I can hint at tone via text, even if I’m still trying to decipher twitter.
MB: I think what I’m going to do is change the 14th from Valentine’s Day to Bell-intine’s Day. Meaning my day. For me. Where no pesky consultants call for my advice and generosity without leeway in return.
SH: Are you referring to our private or our professional relationship, Detective?
MB: Both.
