Advent Drabble 1 - Medicine

Requested by hominysnark 

John came home when Sherlock was clearly in the middle of a lecture.

“I’m just saying,” he was saying, “it’s a perfectly respectable career choice.”

John snorted as he start unpacking the groceries. “It’s hardly a career, is it?”

“What’s that?” said Sherlock.

“Consulting detective. It’s hardly a career. I mean, if anyone else can pretend it’s a career, it’ll definitely be Oliver, but let’s not pretend it’s really a career, hmm?”

Oliver and Sherlock both stared at him blankly.

And then Oliver said, “Actually, he was trying to convince me to go into medicine.”

“Oh,” John managed, oddly touched.
