John glared at the kettle. Sherlock had sworn he wouldn't use it for any of his experiments, not again, so it should be safe. In theory. But, John was pretty sure he'd heard Sherlock banging about in the kitchen early this morning and there was a vague, funny smell lingering about and what the hell was Sherlock doing with his face? Was that a look of anticipation? Regret? Worry over being discovered?

Sod this.

John grabbed his wallet and headed out for a coffee; assuming the worst where Sherlock was concerned was safest. Besides, they were out of milk anyway.

Yes, John, that does seem like it would be safest. :)

Love Johns praticality, kettle maybe not safe, just head out a grab a coffee. I also love that either the need for caffine is too stong or he's just concidered it's not worth questing sherlock any further.

John is very practical when it comes to Sherlock :)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Caffeine is important, right? :)

I think John made the right choice! As the philosopher once said: "You gotta know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, and know when to run."

*laughs* Wise decision, John.

Sherlock vs Kenny Rogers, now that could get interesting.... :)
