[Inkblots. Oh God, inkblots, inkblots everywhere. And the following is scribbled hastily.]

Just woke up to quite a surprise and after nearly being shocked into having a damn heart attack, my biggest question is -

WHO THE HELL TAUGHT SHERLOCK HOW TO GET INTO HUFFLEPUFF?!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Can we just humor me for a moment and answer the question?

Fine.

Then I guess... I'd be proud of him. For letting someone in the heart he insists he doesn't have.

What if it was a guy?

Wouldn't matter. It's all fine.

... and, I'd admit, not unexpected in his case. He doesn't seem to have a very high opinion of most girls.

Yeah, he's kind of obvious about that. With maybe one exception I know of.

Well at least you're cool with that then.

There's Molly and... yeah, no, that's it.

Why would you think I wouldn't be fine with it?

Molly? Is she cute?

Wait, no, not important.

Well then, there's two girls.

You mean the possibility of him stopping giving you his almost complete attention because he'd be giving it to someone else, would be, what? Fine with you?

Huh. Who's the other girl he can put up with if it's not Molly?

I meant I'd be fine and absolutely unsurprised if he liked blokes, and I didn't understand why someone would think I wouldn't accept that. But as far as what you're saying now goes... well, I guess I'd be less fine with that. If he just wrote me off entirely, I mean.

Natasha Romanoff. She's a third year in our tower.

She's in our dorm a lot.

Well, it is Sherlock, when he's interested in something he gives it his complete attention.

Oh, right, that redhead on your Quidditch team. Looks like she'll be a stunner once she grows up.

His focus can be pretty narrow, yeah. But I guess it's to be expected, all things considered. And that's why I know you're just bullshitting me with your hypotheticals. If Sherlock was that interested in someone, it'd be pretty obvious.

She's a stunner now. She'll be dangerous when she grows up. Well she's dangerous now, but in a different way.

Well you're right there, it is more than a little obvious. Especially to his dorm mates. And I can tell you for sure that I know exactly who he's into.

Anyone below 4th year has started to look like a little kid to me, so I'll just take your word on her already reaching stunner status.

I see you getting punched hasn't changed a thing. He isn't interested in me like that.

I'm 14, she's 13. It's not that weird for me.

See, I never said it was you. So you've been seeing it too. I mean I wasn't even trying to suggest it was you. I just said that it's obvious he's into someone.

What I've been seeing is you misinterpreting our friendship and beating this dead horse of a subject over and over! He's claimed he's incapable of romantic interest in anyone, which - I'll grant you - I'm not so sure how true that is. But if he DID have romantic interest in someone, that someone wouldn't be me.

Why wouldn't it be you?

Well... it's me. I'm not exactly the most amazing or interesting person. I'm really average. Even the most dramatic thing that's happened to me wasn't because of who I am as an individual.

Wow, I don't think I've met someone this humble before. I mean not even Bruce, well I mean he's pretty humble and thinks no one pays him attention.

And considering that Sherlock's been happier since meeting you. You can't be all that average at all.

I don't really see it as being humble, just honest and realistic. And speaking of Bruce, maybe you ought to concentrate your odd romance fixation on figuring out what's up with you two instead of sticking your nose elsewhere.

... I'll give you that one, I suppose. You'd know, since you actually share a room with him. He has changed since I first met him, and mostly for the best, I think.

Okay, I've been harassing you, so I'll give you this; I'm kind of working on that one there.

So let's play "Humor Tony" again. From 1 -10 1 being never, 10 being with in seconds.

If he was to ask you out, what would your reaction be?

Wait, working on it? How so?

Tony, I don't know. There's too many things involved for me to even see it as a hypothetical. It's not the sort of thing he'd do, and ~~even if a couple of times there's been somethi-~~ I've always only ever been attracted to girls. I just can't imagine it, okay?

I'm trying to tell him, okay?

I know about some of those couple of things. Not really something I could see Thor or Steve doing to other guys. Although I don't think Steve would be capable of doing that to a girl, when drunk and without any consequences.

And hey, I

I couldn't before Christmas either.

I don't think.

Uh-huh. How long have you been trying to tell him?

And what happened at Christmas?

Since after Sherlock bruised me.

Well considering I know you playfully fondled my room mate.

I kissed him.

He told you-... Of course. Of course he wouldn't keep that to himself, no. Please tell me he told you the context, because it makes sense when you know what was going on.

... oh. Really? How long had you, uh... thought about doing that? Beyond it being something you'd do for giggles, I mean. After all, you always seemed to give the impression that you were into girls as well.

We were trading Christmas stories. Oh, there was context alright, lots of context.

Well technically it's the second time I kissed him, because I sort of kissed him when he was a girl, then nearly again but I didn't that time.

But until New Years eve when he and the others were down. I was pretty sure I was into girls too.
