Anonymous: Sherlock prefers to text because talking on the phone reminds him of sitting beside the telephone waiting for Mycroft to call. Little Sherlock sat beside the phone all day long waiting for his amazing big brother to call. He bounced as he waited excitedly for the phone to ring. As the day went on he started to chant to himself. "Soon, really soon. Mycroft will call just like he promised to." Finally Daddy picked him up and carried him to bed as he sobbed. "M-M-Mycroft forgot me. He forgot me."
