Sherlock sickfics!

Spectacles Part 2

"How about you read some to me, yeah? Just to make sure your reading skills are up to par" John began after he put the last of the groceries up, moving to sit in his chair.

"You've seen me read loads of times on cases John. Plus don't you have to pick Rosie up from daycare?" Sherlock asked, he was suspicious.

John waited a bit to answer, getting comfortable in his chair before continuing.

"Well yes, but she can wait at daycare for a couple more minutes for me to just hear a bit of the story you're reading."

John heard the detective mumble a fine before he picked up the book that was discarded on his lap, holding it a couple inches from his face. Sherlock cleared his throat before reading,

"Uhhh, what's that word there? hm...Oh! Aziraphale walked around the boat and....wait no that can't be boat can it? Let's see-"

"Sherlock, you can stop now, we need to talk about something" John interrupted, waiting for the storm that is Sherlock to break free once he tells him he definitely needs glasses.

"You just told me you want me to read and then not even a sectance later you want me to stop? Seriously John I thought it'd be easy to decide what you want with that small mind you have."

John sighed but ignored the insult, "Listen I've noticed over the years your eyesight has gotten worse and worse and-"

"Has not!"

"-and I think you need to go get your eyes checked, like as soon as possible."

John waited for Sherlock to respond. The ex army doctor looked at his watch and saw the daycare would close in twenty minutes.

"There is no way in hell I'm going to get my eyes checked!" Sherlock yelled, throwing the book across the room as if he were a toddler having a tantrum. John and he needed to go get Rosie before the daycare closed, she never liked being picked up late he noticed.

"Yeah sure, let's just go and get Rosie and we'll talk about this later." Sherlock looked as if he was about to say something back, before deciding against it, grabbing his coat and heading straight out the door, leaving John still in the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ride to the daycare was terrible, all Sherlock wanted to talk about was how amazing and 'above average' his sight is. Pointing at road signs to prove his point.

"See John that sign says 'No U-turns'"

"Sherlock that's a stop sign."

Once they actually arrived at the daycare and picked up Rosie, was when Sherlock finally settled down. His friend never came off as a child loving kind of guy, but the doctor could tell the detective cared for the small Watson that was being held in his arms.

~~~~~~~~~~~

After eating some take-out (well Sherlock didn't eat anything) and finally getting Rosie to sleep, it was time to finally call the eye doctor's office down the street from them.

"Hello, yes I was wondering if I can book an appointment to get my friends eyes checked tomorrow?" He saw Sherlock perk up from where he was sitting in his chair, curled up.

After giving the woman at the desk all the things she needed from him, it was decided that tomorrow at 5:30 would be when Sherlock got his eyes checked.

John then said goodnight to Sherlock and went to his room to change and then eventually, go to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"John, this is insanely idiotic." Sherlock said, looking at John in the seat over from him in the cab. They were less than five minutes away from the office, and ever since the day began his roommate has been trying to show how good his eyesight is, and failing terribly.

"And you're the one saying I need glasses when you go out and buy a shirt with the word 'flamingo' on it" Sherlock had said a couple hours earlier, sipping on his coffee.

"Sherlock it doesn't say flamingo, it says the name of a football team you prick."

Finally the cab rolled to a stop, Sherlock made an annoyed noise before jumping out of the cab, leaving John to pay. At least he got through the worst part, John kept telling himself.

To be continued....

I posted a second time in one day, this is a miracle! And yes they'll be a three part story. Also I wrote this on google docs, and was going to copy and paste onto here, and I clicked the wrong button and deleted all of this and almost had a heart attack, but it's back now so it's fine!

If you have ideas please leave them in the comments, I hope you liked it, bye!
