Try to gather him in to the family and, and to the establishment that is so important to Mycroft. Uh, I know he genuinely loves his brother, Mycroft. He actually says it, although slightly drugged. He does actually say that it would break his heart if anything happened to Sherlock.<\/p>\n<p>And although Sherlock professes absolutely nothing but loathing and disdain for his older brother, he also absolutely rock hard knows his brother will always be there for him and always look after him.
