Advent Drabble 11 - Bowties (requested by 221bblaine)

[earlgreytea68]

Sherlock wasn’t surprised when he opened the Christmas gift. Sherlock was impossible to surprise on Christmas, he was never surprised.

He lifted up the bowtie, saying, “This is because of that ridiculous show you watch. The one with the insufferable know-it-all.”

“No, that’s just my life,” muttered John.

“I’ve already decided I’m going to grow different kinds of bacteria on it. I’ve always wanted to know exactly how deadly our clothing can be.”

“Or you could just wear it,” suggested John.

“Boring,” announced Sherlock, looking very pleased with himself.

And actually, thought John, he wouldn’t have Sherlock any other way.

Why does it not surprise me that John watches Doctor Who and Sherlock dislikes it intensely? :)

Hey, maybe if he wore the bowtie, the Tardis would stop by!

Except when John gives him twelve dead guinea pigs. :D

Oh, now, that would be an excellent present. Until it was time to clean up afterwards, anyway.

It was an excellent present (http://earlgreytea68.livejournal.com/447429.html) indeed. :D

Hee! John could not have possibly thought that Sherlock would actually wear the tie, could he? Because I can't see Sherlock Holmes wearing a bow tie. Even if bow ties are cool. Silly John.

*Snerks* Oh John, never stop being sassy.

"“I’ve already decided I’m going to grow different kinds of bacteria on it."

What a very 'Sherlock' thing to do . . . but done with love, no doubt!!
