Sherlock Holmes speaks to Watson as if he was Sherlock's student. But then again Watson really is his student--he follows him around on his cases and learns from him by watching him use his deductive reasoning and observation skills. Hardly ever will you find a scenario where Sherlock speaks kindly or with feeling towards Watson. Watson even described him once as an "unfeeling robot set to solve crimes and shun the monotony of life." But of few of the quotes in which a little of Sherlock's inner self shines through include the following:
-"Come, friend Watson, the curtain rings up for the last act."
-"Watson, if it should ever strike you that I am getting a little over-confident in my powers, or giving less pains to a case than it deserves, kindly whisper `Norbury` in my ear, and I shall be infinitely obliged to you."
-"[Watson and I] also have our diplomatic secrets."
-"This is my dear friend and associate, Doctor Watson--the sole of discretion, before whom you can speak as freely as before myself."
-"If you had killed Watson, you would not have made it out of this room alive."

Holmes and Watson went camping together. In the night, Holmes asked Watson, "Watson, look up and tell me what you see." "Well, Holmes, I see lots of stars, the moon is waxing, and there is a hint of clouds in the west. Why, what do you see?" "I see that someone has stolen our tent."

Sherlock Holmes often did not reveal his deductions or plans even to Watson until the case was complete. In this particular case, he needed Watson to believe a certain way, so he would convince someone to visit Holmes. Holmes also knew that Watson was not a good actor.
Holmes and Watson follow the other two to their hotel.
Holmes treats Watson like he would treat any other person. Although Watson isn't the brightest bulb in the bunch, Holmes treats him very well. For instance, in the beginning of the book Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles Watson proposes evidence/clues about a "walking stick" that they found in Holmes den. Watson's clues are way off. Holmes (who already knew who's walking stick it was, and who also knew that every one of the clues that Watson proposed was indeed incorrect) did not say a word to him. So that tells you that Holmes is very good to Watson.
Watson joins Holmes in his work because Watson is fascinated by the remarkable events.
