Avery then retired for the night, making herself at home in John’s room. John sighed to himself.
Sherlock looked at him. “That…Thank you John.”
John’s eyes widened. “Did you just thank me?”
Sherlock’s eyes narrowed. “Yes. Is something wrong?”
“Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. No. Just, uh, I don’t think you’ve ever said that before.”
“I say it all the time!”
“No you don’t!” John replied incredulously. “Name one time.”
Sherlock paused. “Just because I don’t say it-"
John interrupted him with a laugh.
“Are you staying on the couch tonight?” Sherlock asked. “Surely you’re not calling May now?”
“Ah, yeah, I guess.” John shrugged.
“You can stay in my room.”
There was a pause.
“And I’ll take the couch,” Sherlock said. “In case of any confusion.”
“Oh. Um, no, Sherlock, really, it’s fine. There’s no point all three of us being put out.”
Sherlock frowned, then nodded. “Of course. Good night then John.” He turned away, then looked back. “One more thing. Avery – don’t trust her.”
“What?”
“She’s far more manipulative then Mycroft or me. Luckily, her purposes are harmless. But she is extremely calculating, so do try not to do anything to upset her. Or interest her. Good night John.”
