Characters: Lestrade, Holmes, (Watson)
WordCount: 350
Summary: Lestrade gets one of the first glimpses...
A/N: written in a rush, not beta'd and my wrist's still hurting. ;(
A/N2: Yeah, LJ's working again. :D Thankfully still within the 24-hour-window. ^_^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inspector Lestrade mentally prepares himself for his meeting with Mr. Holmes as he walks up the steps to Mr. Holmes' new flat.
It is always an arduous thing to talk with that man, but Lestrade hopes that the doctor will be in the rooms.
So far he had not many interactions with Holmes' newest companion, but he seems like a decent gentleman and Holmes might (if at all possible) be less vocal in his negative opinions about Scotland Yard if the doctor is present.
Lestrade sends a silent prayer and then knocks on the door to the living room, before opening it.
Holmes is already awaiting him (not surprising, quite possibly already heard him on the street), but what surprises Lestrade is how Holmes stands - almost protectively - in front of the door, not letting Lestrade enter the room fully.
He settles one of his long, pale fingers on his lips in the generally gesture of silence. No matter how stupid Mr. Holmes believes Lestrade to be, he is not and he understands the gesture.
So instead of asking why Holmes requests his silence, Lestrade takes a look over the consulting detective's shoulder.
In one of the chairs right behind Mr. Holmes rests the doctor, an afghan wrapped around his legs and deeply asleep.
Lestrade blinks, blinks again and then takes another look checking the rest of the room, but in the end the doctor is the only visible reason as to why they should be silent.
Which is surprising, as Lestrade never thought Holmes could be considerate of anyone else.
Lestrade looks back at Holmes, who watches him with a brow questioningly raised and Lestrade clears his throat lightly, realizing that he had been starring for several moments.
Holmes leads the Inspector back down the steps and manages quite nicely their entrance into the landlady's domain, before he asks about Lestrade's case.
And while Lestrade talks about his recent case, he wonders in the back of his mind, that the doctor really must be a remarkable man, to turn Sherlock Holmes into a human being.
Quite a remarkable man indeed.
