The 'Adopt a Line' thread on the NaNo forums is a bad, bad place, my friends.
Title: Emotional Constipation
Rating: PG
Genre: Drabble
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock, John.
Wordcount: 105
Disclaimer: There are a lot of people who own some part of the rights to Sherlock. I am none of them.
Summary: John moves out. Sherlock reacts badly.
John moved out three weeks ago, but you'd never know from the texts, the experiments in the kitchen or the inconsiderate knocking at three in the morning.
He stumbles out of bed, apologising to Mary, and picks up his phone because it's got a torch to get him down the stairs. There's a message on it: 'The crocodile is back. Please advise.'
John hurries to the door. "Crocodile?"
"No, dealt with that ages ago." Sherlock shoulders past him into the hallway. "I want your medical opinion."
John reaches for his coat. "Murder, then."
"Worse," Sherlock says. "I haven't been able to poop since you left."

But you just know they'd never get there, because John would roll his eyes and get the laxatives ;)
