Sherlock Holmes had a case. And it was difficult. He was ecstatic.

There apparently was a murder in a small 24/7 cafe in the middle of the night. No cameras, no sign of struggle, and no one knows what the person looks like. This one seemed impossible. But nothing is impossible to the great Sherlock Holmes!

Everyone was gathered around the body of a young redheaded lady in her early thirties with a gunshot in the head. Likely an instant death John thought. After a while of Sherlock staring at the bullet hole before deducing that the gun had to be a 'semiautomatic pistol and anyone who didn't know this right off had to be a certified idiot", everyone just huffed and rolled their eyes.

After a few hours of looking around the shop and Sherlock being an absolute pain the arse, Lestrade and Anderson came back with some brownies. "Women from the cafe told us to have these," Lestrade said. John grabbed one while Sherlock just raised a dismissive hand while staring at a small hole in the wall. 

"Sherlock"

No response.

"Sherlock"

...

"Sherl-"

"Fine Jesus I'll eat the damn brownie John!" Sherlock snatched up the brownie and took a bit, He tasted mints. Oh no.

"Happy?" Sherlock said while forcing himself to swallow it.

"Very" John replied. He never eats enough.

After a few minutes (and a few more brownies with Lestrade) Sherlock starts coughing. John dismisses like everyone else. He continues to cough.

"Sherlock? You good mate?" Johns asks.

"Hm?Oh yeah fine just a bit of a scratchy throat." Sherlock says hoarsely. John assumed all the near-death experiences from strangulation must have finally got to the detective, but he kept his eye out for him. Sherlock's breathing started to sound ragged, almost like he couldn't breathe.

"I, uh, think I need to sit down for a bit digestive system doesn't seem to be up to par today." The detective said breathlessly while stumbling his way to get to a small table across from him. 

John now knew something was wrong, defiantly wrong. John got closer to Sherlock and inspected him. Difficulty breathing, stomach problems, seems like patient may suffer from dizziness, coughing. The only thing that Sherlock could have was an allergic reaction. But Sherlock's never told him he has an allergy. John doesn't know much about Sherlock to be completely honest because the bastard never tells him things.

Okay, allergic reaction, what could he be allergic to? He hasn't eaten today. Wait.

Damnit he had brownies.

But what was different about the brownies? John's made brownies all the time and has made Sherlock eat them. He was fine every time. Wait, these brownies tasted different, they tasted.

Minty.

Sherlock's allergic to mints.

"Sherlock you really got to tell me things!" John said quietly enough for only Sherlock to hear. Sherlock just nods, resting his head on the wall while keeping his eyes close.

"Okay, Sherlock, mate I need you to stay with us okay? Donovan, go call 999 tell them we've got a man with an Anaphylaxis reaction, be quick!" Sally nodded her head quickly before pulling out her phone. John grabbed Sherlock's arm and checked his pulse. A bit fast, but not too severe.

"Wait, what's going on?" Lestrade said walking up beside John looking worried.

"Well turns out Sherlock here has an allergy to mints that he never told anyone? I guess it never came up did it, Sherlock?" John said, smiling a bit at the last part. Sherlock just gave a smirk back.

Soon the ambulance came and carried Sherlock into the ambulance quickly, John following quickly behind. Sherlock was going to be fine, he knew it. And John was really excited to never let the detective live down the time he had to be taken into an ambulance in front of all his coworkers. Not a lot of people know this, but Sherlock gets embarrassed by small things like this.
