I swallowed my words to keep from lying
WHO: Sherlock Holmes & Herbert West
TONE: Probably snarky and at least a little bitter
RATING: PG
WHEN: Nowish
WHERE: Ravenclaw 6th year boy's dorm
WHAT: Herbert's been scarce. Sherlock comments.
STATUS: Ongoing
Herbert had been scarce in the Ravenclaw 6th year boy's dorms for the past few weeks - ever since the whole Valentine's Day debacle. He didn't think he could handle hearing any more about how terrible it must have been for Tony, or deal with Tony and Bruce being all sweet and lovey-dovey with each other. And if bloody Stark tried to offer him one more damn thing to 'apologize' ...
It was just easier not to be there most times. To sleep down in the common room, or stay out late and come back when everyone had already gone to sleep. He had his own work, after all, and that was far more important than some stupid crush that had never had any legs to begin with. It was all just moronic human nature, and he had enough of his emotions ruling him - it had never occurred to him that avoiding the whole situation was pretty much exactly that, letting his bitterness and hurt feelings dictate his actions.
But he couldn't stay out of the room forever, and there were times we he inevitably had to be in the room with at least one of his roommates in a conscious state. Today it was Sherlock, when he ducked in to get some potion supplies from his trunk. Herbert did his best to ignore the other boy, but it was taking him awhile to find what he needed, and he muttered curses to himself as he dug through everything.

"It is not a triangle, and there is no drama. A love triangle would require each party involved to be interested in a different person. All there are, are two people who wanted to be together and who now are, and me somewhere over here," he snapped, gesturing vaguely off to the left of his head.
"Which, I'm sure everyone agrees, is for the best, and I don't know why you're sticking your bloody nose in Holmes!" he continued, honing his keen skills of overreaction. "You and Stark are such close mates when it comes to romantic endeavors, you should be happy you no longer have to advise him on his own stupid feelings. Now piss off and leave me alone!"

He tried pointedly not to think of the very brief makeout session behind the one-eyed witch when there had been love potion involved.

"He can be assertive when he wants to be," Herbert said defensively. "He just doesn't want to bother with you that way, it's not worth it."

"I didn't," he said icily, after a brief pause. "It was crap. I feel sorry for Bruce."

"I think 'mismatch' is the word you'd be looking for in regards to myself and Stark."
