Sherlock isn\u2019t quite sure why he agreed anymore. Or rather, yes, he knows; at some point he\u2019s bound to develop some minimum of immunity to John turning on the charm\u2026 right?<\/p>\n

Bad enough he\u2019s being forced to watch a football game, but to do so, of all places, in a pub<\/em>? And with not only Lestrade but also Mycroft<\/em> for companions? No sexual favor is worth that kind of torture.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s only been twenty minutes. Although it is rather satisfying to watch Mycroft be even more uncomfortable and out of place than Sherlock feels. Every so often, he starts to raise his glass to his lips, but then he gets a whiff of the wine and grimaces. He has yet to take a sip.<\/p>\n

As the entirety of the pub erupts in disgusted groans, Sherlock looks up at the screen again. He\u2019s obviously missed something. Judging from the exclamations around him, the referee did\u2026 something. Or didn\u2019t do something. The players in white \u2013 is that England? \u2013 are apparently arguing with him about something. Out comes a little red rectangle, and the groaning in the pub redoubles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey bought that guy!\u201d Lestrade exclaims. \u201cNo other explanation!!\u201d<\/p>\n

John agrees heartily, and the two of them, along with the rest of the room, continues to verbally abuse a man who stands on a football field on the other side of the world. Sherlock looks at Mycroft, desperate for confirmation that yes, this is all very stupid, but Mycroft has pulled his phone out and is typing furiously. It\u2019d be useless to try to have a phone conversation in here.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat bored?\u201d Lestrade asks, leaning closer to him. \u201cIf you want to leave\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I said I\u2019d come and I\u2019ll stay until the end. Let me just forward this to the FIFA\u2026 Here we go. That should do it.\u201d With a satisfied smirk, he pockets his phone again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat did you just do?\u201d John asks, sounding equal parts amused and wary.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just sent a copy of the latest statement from that referee\u2019s Swiss bank account to the committee in charge of referees\u2019 assignations. It seems he did indeed receive a bribe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Lestrade and John stare at him. Honestly, they should have stopped being impressed by this kind of tricks a long time ago. What a show off\u2026<\/p>\n

After half-time, the referee doesn\u2019t come back. Apparently, he took ill very suddenly. Unheard of, but the game must go on. Or something.<\/p>\n

His replacement, according to the general mood, seems to be an improvement. England even ends up winning. Mycroft is insufferably smug for the rest of the evening. Next time Sherlock is definitely staying home.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
