[Elementary] I stay with problems longer (Sherlock/Irene)

Title: I stay with problems longer
Fandom: Elementary
Length: 100 words
Prompt: comment_fic: Elementary, Sherlock Holmes, tranquil fury [3 sentences]
Pairing: Sherlock/Irene
Other: Set pre-canon, spoilers for S1.

Excerpt: He is scariest when he is quiet, because that is when he's dangerous, and that is when Irene loves him the most (well, for a certain definition of "love").

Sherlock is constantly moving, shifting, his leg twitching and his mind flying. He is scariest when he is quiet, because that is when he's dangerous, and that is when Irene loves him the most (well, for a certain definition of "love").

"I will find the man who killed her," Sherlock says to the busboy at the restaurant, to the cops at the precinct, to all of the people she has planted in his life and all of those she hasn't, and he doesn't falter at all -- she'll be so sad to disappoint him (for a certain definition of "sad").
