John,

Today is V-Day. I have a V-Card for you. We should meet up.

Also, my roommates are intolerable this week so meeting someplace far from Ravenclaw is preferable.

[3potionproblem]

Oh.




That is a stupid thing to call it.

[arrogantalloy]

Well it's easier to say in public than straight out admitting you're a virgin.

[3potionproblem]

There is no shame in being a virgin.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, to you maybe.

Some people don't like other's knowing, it's kind of a social status thing for those of us who do understand it.

[3potionproblem]

That doesn't make it less stupid.

[arrogantalloy]

Never said it wasn't stupid. But hey, it is what it is. I just know I don't use it.

[3potionproblem]

Either way, at least my mistakes are in language and not in life.

[arrogantalloy]

A language that everyone can currently read.

And making mistakes within a social construct, kind of making a mistake in a life-based context.

[3potionproblem]

Bigger mistake: Herbert.

[arrogantalloy]

Not a mistake.

[3potionproblem]

You can't stand him! How can you just forget you despise someone's presence? Or, greater still, how can you sit and pine for someone you find intolerable?

[arrogantalloy]

Pine? I'm not pining after him. I know how I feel, Sherlock. So don't act like you are the grand master of what's going on in my head.

Yeah, sure. He might have been annoying now, but all those quirks are, you know actually kind of fascinating when you think about it.

[3potionproblem]

You have been afflicted by Bruce for nearly as long as I've known you! And now suddenly you don't even care that you are flirting with Herbert right where he can see you?

[Filter]

[arrogantalloy]

Considering Bruce has never been interested, I don't see why you care about how visual I'm making this.

I haven't become one of your studies have I?

[Filter]

[3potionproblem]

Everyone in our room is. It's one of the few places I can't be exiled from.

Of course I don't care about your love life but when it involves 100% of my roommates, there is a bit of personal interest invested. You are supposed to be with Bruce and Herbert is supposed to annoy you until you graduate.

[Filter]

[arrogantalloy]

"Supposed to be with Bruce"? Okay and you became my fairy godmother when?

Love can't be ordered around. Butt out.

[Filter]

[3potionproblem]

I know you're an idiot, Tony, but this is really impossibly stupid of you.

[Filter]

[arrogantalloy]

You know, I'm starting to get tired of you telling me what this is is wrong just because you say it is.

And I'm not being stupid, or an idiot.

[Filter]

[3potionproblem]

But you don't like Herbert! I have never even once observed signs of attraction between you two and now you are, on a scale from on to ten, a full on ten! How can you not think that's a bit odd when you just came back from break talking about getting with Bruce?

[Action]

[3potionproblem]

[Sherlock decides to head out to meet John, spying Tony in the common room as he goes, looking like every other day dreaming idiot in the school. He comes up behind him, leaning down.]

If I'm right--and let's face it, I often am--then you are going to wish you'd listened to me.

[Action]

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony gives him a sideways glance.]

It's called realising who the real person to love is.

[Action]

[3potionproblem]

It's called being drugged.

[Action]

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, they call love that.

[Action]

[3potionproblem]

Unlike "they", I mean it literally.

[He scowls at him as he stands up.]

I am not going to help you fix things when this is all over. I am going to sit on my bed saying "I told you so".

[Action]

[arrogantalloy]

I haven't even drunk anything out of the ordinary. How could I have been drugged? Why like this?

Come on Sherlock, you're just upset it's not going how you want it to.
