The Mad Tumblr

Anonymous asked: What's one thing surprising thing you've found out about each other since getting together?

[Hello Tumblr - time for some more Q&A with John and Sherlock!]

Watson:  That’s a tough one.  Many things about Sherlock are surprising.

Holmes:  And very little about John is.  He is exactly as he seems to be.  I suppose that in itself is surprising, since is is true about so few people.

Watson:  To look at him, you’d think he’d be a neat freak but he’s a slob.  You’d think he’d be super careful about his diet but he lives on coffee and takeaway, when he eats at all.  You’d never think he’d be a gym rat but he works out every day.

Holmes:  I admit I was surprised to learn that John is a very good cook.

Watson:  It’s a hobby.  And yet he lives on takeaway.

Holmes:  You never have time to cook.  I’d cheerfully eschew the takeaway to eat anything you made.

Watson:  But the most surprising thing I learned?  Well — okay.  When we first got together I was afraid that I’d have to learn to get by on very little affection.  But I haven’t.  He’s very demonstrative.

Holmes:  You’ve never told me that.  That you were afraid I wouldn’t be.

Watson:  Well, you proved me wrong very quickly, so I never had to.
