Title: Thirst.
Author: thesadchicken
Rating: PG.
Universe: ACD.
Characters: John Watson, Sherlock Holmes.
Summary: Tonight I will tell him.
Word Count: 100.

Warning: mention of blood.
Author's note: this might serve as the prologue to a longer fic that work didn't let me write.

Prompt: I’ve Got a Secret: John Watson reveals a secret he's been hiding his entire life. Bonus point if the secret is that Watson is a vampire.

For all his great deductive skills, there was one thing that my friend, Mister Sherlock Holmes, has failed to deduce – even after years of sharing rooms with me.

Whether it is his rational mind rejecting the very idea of my secret, or my own ability to hide it so well, the fact is that he never suspected it, not once. Some nights I would sit next to him, and he would look at me and deduce my whereabouts, my plans for tomorrow, my very thoughts, but he would never suspect the thirst for blood that consumed me.

Tonight I will tell him.

I'm glad you do! Sadly, I was in a terrible rush when I wrote it :'( I had a plot in mind, but work got in the way. However, this might be the prologue to a longer fic (that I will hopefully write once I have a few days off!)

Ooo! Ominous!

Hehehehe I'm glad you think so ~ I actually have a longer fic in mind, and this might serve as the prologue!

Will Holmes accept this, or will he take up the stake?

[thesadchicken]

I might write more of this, so I won't say anything until then ;)
