Teen/Fantasy ish AU: If someone has a descriptive thought about you, the word(s) appear on your wrist and trail up your arms, depending how many thoughts are happening. They’ll linger for an hour or so per thought. If they’re thinking/speaking full sentences, only the adjectival words will show up, meaning you’ll see scattered and incomplete phrases if someone is thinking or talking about you a lot. Sherlock attends a prep school where he is considered an oddity by some, a freak by others, or just not to be bothered with. He’s used to “freak,” “creep,” or “arsehole" appearing on his arms...the nicest it gets is when Mike amusedly thinks “funny,” or Greg drily remarks “different.” He was definitely not prepared for the day a transfer student glanced at him across the hallway, and the word “beautiful” blazed across his wrist. Title from "Brave" by Sarah Bareilles.
