A/N Sorry in advance. I guess this is a trigger warning or something. I should probably make it more clear.

TRIGGER WARNING

Okay. There we go. Onto the chapter.

John/Sherlock

-Incoming Call-

-John Watson-

"Sherlock? Oh my god! Hi. Hello. Are you okay?"

"John..."

"Sherlock? Why are you crying? What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry?"

"I'm going to end it."

"End it? End what?"

"My life."

"What! No! You can't!"

"..."

"Why?"

"Well, nobody cares about me! I'm just another useless human being."

"You are not useless."

"You don't even know me!"

"But I know you better than anyone else does."

"How were you planning to..."

"Pills."

"How many?"

"At the moment, I've got 30 in my hand..."

"You haven't taken any, have you?"

"Not yet."

"..."

"Please don't."

"Why not? Name one person who cares about me."

"Your mum. Your dad. Your brother."

"Yeah, because shouting at me is a good way to show it -"

"Me."

"..."

"..."

"I still haven't finished asking you questions from earlier."

"Really? Now. You think now is a good time to ask questions?"

"Remember: one word answers."

"John."

"Sherlock."

"It might help."

"Fine."

"Alright."

"Favourite colour?"

"Blue."

"Favourite animal?"

"Hedgehog."

"Or otter."

"Favourite word?"

"Floccinaucinihilipilification."

"Meaning? You can use more than one word for this one."

"The categorising of something that is useless or trivial."

"Whoa. Did you swallow a dictionary?"

"Yes."

"Favourite season?"

"Fall."

"I'm running out of questions here."

"What makes you smile?"

"Messages."

"From?"

"..."

"You."

"Okay. I'm all out of questions."

"Oh and I feel like you need to know I punched Mike in the face."

"What? Why?"

"Because nobody insults the man I..."

"The man you what?"

"...am friends with and gets away with it."

"Who did he insult?"

"You."

"..."

"Sherlock? Are you okay?"

"Yeah."

"Is that a smile I hear?"

"Don't be stupid John. You can't hear smiles."

"So you were smiling?"

"Sorry, John. I can't hear you over the sound of Mycroft breaking down my door."

"Mycroft?"

"Yes. Mycroft Holmes. My brother?"

"So that's his name."

"You've met?"

"You better go see what he wants."

"Goodbye John."

"And... Thank you."

"For what?"

"Phoning."
