[shutupimagenius]

It seems I've acquired yet another addiction.

[shutupimagenius]

[There's a long pause, weighing his words more carefully than usual.]

That I'm intrigued by the inner workings of them. Because it could be useful. For casework. [Those last additions are last ditch attempts to preserve his detached demeanor, though he knows it's heavy-handed and probably less convincing than he hoped it was.]

[justaarmydoctor]

I seriously doubt you think it'd be useful for casework.

[shutupimagenius]

It could be. [Cue petulance.]

It's often a motive, you know. [And cue sulking.]

This is exactly why I didn't want to say anything. I knew you'd get the wrong idea. [Or the right one.]

[justaarmydoctor]

I doubt that I have the wrong idea, Sherlock. But we'll let you think otherwise.

[shutupimagenius]

[He just glares like he's trying to set you on fire with it.]

You aren't giving me much incentive to want to tell you anything ever again.

[justaarmydoctor]

Sherlock, there is nothing wrong with you wanting to get more into relationships or knowing about them.

[shutupimagenius]

Perhaps you should just explain them to me, then. Maybe it will stave off my curiosity enough so I can get back to normalcy. [There was the remaining curiosity as to what the physical aspect would be like, but he thought he'd divulged enough of his innermost thoughts for one day.]

[justaarmydoctor]

One cannot explain something like that, Sherlock. It has to be experienced.

[shutupimagenius]

That's not really an option, either because the other party can't stand me or I can't stand them. Just explain it, it can't be that difficult.

[justaarmydoctor]

It is that difficult. It has to be experienced. There is no other way.

[shutupimagenius]

[He gives a frustrated half-sigh half-growl.]

Then I'm at an impasse. There's no way for me to experience it, so there's nothing to be done for it. [He wasn't sure what he expected from all this, but he had hoped for a bit more to go on to aid in his understanding.]

Tea, then?

[justaarmydoctor]

How is it you can't experience it? You do have me here, Sherlock. [Simple and to the point even as he goes to make them both a mug of tea.]

[shutupimagenius]

[He flounders at that, feeling like there was a blank spot in his hard drive for how to react to this.

Now would be the time John finally decides to make their tea. At least it gave him a moment to stop gaping and compose himself before John returned.]

I er...well.. [Or, you know, maybe not so much.]

Sarah? [He ventures, knowing John was far too himself to ever cheat on someone. Still, it was true that he hadn't heard much about her lately, so maybe they'd split up.]

[justaarmydoctor]

[There's a bit of silence as John makes their tea and the question throws him off a bit.]

I told you a while back that we were no longer together. You just weren't listening.

[shutupimagenius]

Oh. Right. [Maybe he did remember being pleased at that fact because it meant John would never be out of reach if he needed him on a case. This whole conversation was throwing him quite a bit as well.]

So, you're saying you would aid in my study?
