He's going out without me

He's going out without me

-I can't believe you won't let me go with you-an annoyed Celine said from the detective's favorite chair.

-I don't want you involved this time- Holmes answered from the kitchen, more a laboratory than a kitchen.

-I can deal with bad guys perfectly

-Last night it did not seem like that, under my weight you seemed perfectly vulnerable- Celine was going to object but Watson interrupted her.

-what?

He knew that years ago Celine's relationship with his friend was evident, but neither of them would admit that there was attraction, much less Sherlock, it was easier to wait for a dog to fly. Also, in the present, Celine was going through a difficult situation with her current... maybe ex-partner, and Watson thought that the most consistent thing was for her to give herself some time and heal so that later she could fix that issue with her "something".

Celine chuckled when she saw John's expression..

-We practiced movements... no, it's NOT what you think, it was self-defense, I'm sorry if we were noisy it was my fault the rumble... Did Rosy sleep well?

-So it was you... yeah, Rosy slept well all night
-And I was vulnerable because I wanted to!
-Whatever you say you're not going to meddle, do something useful and take care of John's daughter, John, let's go- Holmes said, putting on his coat to give Celine one last look and leave the flat.

"He's probably hiding something..."
