#41. “You did all of this for me?” with Mycroft/Lestrade? Oooorrr… #5. “Wait a minute. Are you jealous??” with John/Sherlock? :D

How about both!

Mycroft opened the door to his home office and stopped dead in his tracks. Where normally there was his sterile desk and bookshelves, now there was a shelf full of orchids bringing color and scent to the room. On the desk was one of Mycroft’s favorite books, first edition. And open to his favorite passage he noticed as he stepped further into the room. Quietly he moved to inspect the flowers a moment before taking a seat and pulling the book to him.

There was a knock on the open door. He looked up to find Greg standing there with a bottle of their favorite wine and two glasses.

“You did all this for me?” asked Mycroft.

“Happy Birthday,” smiled Greg, coming in to steal a kiss and pour the wine.

John watched Sherlock lean against the bar, smiling and lightly touch the arm of the other young man. He took another swig of his beer. The other man laughed at something Sherlock said and he saw the detectives eyes light up. It was an act. He knew it was an act. But still his hand flexed by his side. The other man leaned in and whispered something in Sherlock’s ear, hand coming to rest on his thigh.

That was it. John put down his drink and walked towards the pair, case be damned. “Excuse me,” he said, tapping the other man’s shoulder. He saw Sherlock’s eyes and ignored the silent command to back off.

“Hey go away,” he said, looking down at John. “I’m busy.”

“No, you’re done.”

The man scoffed, taking in John’s size. “What are you going to do about it?”

Less then three minutes later John and Sherlock were out on their arses. At least John had the satisfaction of watching the other man hold his bloody nose and glare at them as he headed down the street.

“I almost had the information I need,” said Sherlock, turning on him. “Why would you…” He blinked and looked closer at John. "Wait a minute. Are you jealous?“

"Brilliant deduction,” growled John. He looked at him a moment, then pulled him down and into a kiss.

Mystrade, and 21 was just made for them.

“We’re in the middle of a thunderstorm and you wanna stop and feel the rain?” Mycroft stared at Greg as if he’d grown another head.

“Come on, when was the last time you came out from under that umbrella?” Greg grinned at him, going to snatch it from his hand.

“Gregory!” He twisted away, only to slip in a puddle and land square on his arse, umbrella skidding from his hands.

Laughing, Greg offered him a hand up, pulling him into a kiss as thunder rolled over them. Mycroft returned it, then pulled away and looked him in the eye. “I am sending you my dry cleaning bill.”

“Fair.”

Some omegaverse Mystrade for ya’ll:

Leave the Ghosts Behind – Greg was just going into heat when Mycroft offered him a lift home.

teaser below the cut

Greg cursed as he finished wrapping up the crime scene. He’d been feeling his heat coming on, but had done his best to ignore it. At least his people were professional enough not to mention it. But now things were finished and everyone was leaving and he could at last get into his car and try to get back to his flat.

It was pouring down rain when he got a flat tyre halfway home. Of course his jacket had been left back at the office and he was only wearing his suit coat. Grumbling, he got out and kicked the offending tyre, going to the trunk to change it…only to realize the spare was missing.

Greg kicked the next nearest tyre.

He fumbled for his phone, not even sure who to call, when the dark car pulled up behind him. This did nothing alleviate the cursing or the foul mood. He slammed the trunk shut and turned around, stomping to the window. “What do you want, Mycroft?”

Mycroft looked imperious as ever as the window came down. Even through the pouring rain Greg could smell the alpha. He was well aware of Mycroft Holmes. It was impossible not to be when one was in the orbit of Sherlock. The older watched over the younger like some great brooding eagle looming over its nest. Thank God Sherlock was a beta or else Mycroft might not have let him leave the house. Not that it would have stopped him.

“Gregory, please, get in.” Mycroft’s voice stopped his wandering thoughts.

“That’s really not a good idea,” said Greg, taking half a step back.

“If you are concerned about your heat, don’t be. I can control my baser instincts. And your heat has barely begun.”
