Summary: The adventure of the naked mole rat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Is he not cute?" Watson asks and tenderly caresses the naked back of the little creature in his lap.
"Are you not cute?" he continues, now directed at the creatue and cuddles it gently.
"It is a rat," Holmes says.
"No, it is a mole," Watson counters and rubs his cheek against the animal's nose.
"It is a mole," Watson repeats and looks deeply into Holmes' eyes. "It is a mole, Holmes."
"Holmes. Holmes. Holmes!"
Holmes wakes up and looks around startled. It only takes a moment for him to realize that he fell asleep on the couch in their living room.
"Are you alright?" Watsons asks worriedly and Holmes is relieved to see that his hands are empty.
"Yes yes, old chap, I am alright. It was just-"
the voice from his dreams repeats and Holmes jumps up with a shout. "Of course! A mole! The rat is a mole!"
Holmes hurries through the flat, picking up his things while Watson watches amusedly.
"Watson, you are a genius!" Holmes shouts, before slamming the door shut behind himself and shortly after runs down the street hunting a cab.
Watson watches him through the window, then just shakes his head and sits down at his table. "Whatever you say, Holmes."
