A/N Just a silly idea that popped into my head that I couldn't get rid of. Sorry if anyone else has already done something like this, it wouldn't surprise me really
John Watson took a deep breath. Sherlock may have dismissed something so trivial as breathing to be 'boring' but, in his opinion, it was preferable to what he was about to do. It didn't take much, just a few clicks of the mouse and it was done. He quickly shut down his laptop and closed it before he changed his mind and deleted it. He got himself a cup of tea instead, to steady himself.
On screens all around London, a message popped up.
John Watson is in a relationship.
He had been bullied into making a facebook account months ago, when his blog was still just posts proclaiming how boring his life was, rather than tales of serial suicides and death threats. When his evenings involved sitting at home alone or, on one eventful night, going out with some of the 'lads' for drinks at the pub, rather than chasing bad guys around the streets. Before he'd met Sherlock.
Since then it had been neglected. A few pictures, tagged by friends, a couple of comments on wall posts (only bought to his attention by email) He hadn't actually signed on just for a look since... well, since he'd first made it.
He couldn't wait any longer.
He picked the laptop back up, discarding his tea, and powered it up.

Alright John? Forgot you even had one of these you haven't posted in so long. So, who's the lucky lady?
Harry Watson
Yes, tell us who it is!
John sighed again. Well, it had to be done, he'd started now. He clicked the Comment box and typed a name – Sherlock.
It didn't take long for the messages to start rolling in.
Harry Watson
What? That weirdo you wrote about on your blog!
Bill Murray
Wait, isn't Sherlock a bloke? Ha! I knew you'd gone gay when you started talking about him!
Mike Stamford
You mean Sherlock's in a relationship?
Harry Watson
Why haven't you got his name on here? I want to friend him! I'll have to come round and say hi sometime. We could all go out together for a drink xxx.
John Watson.
Yes, yes, I know.
Harry, I don't think he's got an account. I've never asked him about that actually.
Just as John posted the comment a friend request appeared in the corner.
Friend Requests
Sherlock Holmes.
He clicked 'accept' and returned to the conversation.
John Watson
Nevermind, just got a request from him Harry. He'll probably comment in a sec.
Sherlock Holmes
Hello, Johns friends. I should probably introduce myself.
John, I'm off out, work. We need milk.
John Watson
I'll get it tomorrow.
John Watson
Wait, you're right upstairs, couldn't you have just asked me?
Sherlock Holmes
Easier to communicate on here than shouting.
John Watson
You're going to walk past me on the way out...
Sherlock Holmes
Not so John. Had to leave through the window, the door's being watched.
John Watson
Oh, great.
Harry Watson
Looks like you're turning into a housewife already John! X
Sherlock Holmes
See you later honey X
John smiled when he saw that, he knew Sherlock would be laughing his head off. He would get him back later though. May as well play along for now.
John Watson
You too dear. Love you X
That would wind him up.
There. Sorry if it was OOC or whatever but it was just for a laugh really. I couldn't shake it out of my head once I'd got it there.
