This if my first Sherlock fic and it came from an idea a friend of mine and I had a while back while visiting a garden center, so it may not make that much reason or sense. Its just a bit of light hearted comedy.
I hope that you enjoy it!
It was Saturday and Watson realised that they had no food left in the house. Deciding, eventually that he would go to the local Beijing dinner and order some food, he was surprised to find that Sherlock said that he would go with him. When they arrived, Watson picked up a menu and looked at it.
"What do you want, Sherlock?" he asked, turning to look for his flat mate. But Sherlock was not where he had last been.
Instead, the detective was sitting beside the pool with fish, which had the children confused; adults never went to the fish. As he sat by the pool, he picked up the pieces of fish food and fed the fish, an interested expression on his face. Then, he placed his finger in the water and watched as the fish tried to eat his finger, thinking that it was food. A small smile came over the detective's face at this simple pleasure and John was bemused.
"Er, Sherlock, what do you want?" he asked one more time, trying to get his flat mate to reply. However, Sherlock seemed to be completely focused on the fish.
Decidedly, Watson made a choice for Sherlock and paid for the food. Walking over to Sherlock, he noted that the other man had not moved since he had arrived.
"Sherlock, it's time to go." John said.
"But the fish!" Sherlock said, his voice sounding devastated at the idea of leaving the fish.
"No, really, Sherlock, we have to go. We can come back tomorrow and look at the fish, but I'm getting hungry." John said, starting to get a little irritated at Sherlock's lack of action.
"But the fish!" His companion replied desperately.
John sighed and thought for a few minutes. "Sherlock, look, Moriaty's destroying the town." He lied, hoping this would snap the great detective away from his fascination with the existence of fish.
"BUT THE FISH!" Came the protest.
Please tell me what you think!
Thanks for reading.
