Mycroft was working in the living room, his laptop warming his thighs and a collection of important documents spread around him like a fairy ring. A balloon popped up, informing him of a new email. He scanned the message and sighed. Why did he agree to host this year's office party? He had enough work as it was.
A particularly loud crash of thunder shook the entire house.
Mycroft paid the storm no attention, jotting notes in handwriting like copperplate. Gregory had commented on this soon after they'd met, saying it was like Sherlock's handwriting. Unsurprising, since Mycroft had been Sherlock's teacher.
The door creaked open, and in shuffled a bedraggled Detective Inspector. "Hey."
"What are you doing awake?" Mycroft asked gently. He closed all the windows on his laptop, placing it on the floor. "Are you brontophobic?"
Greg looked at him blankly, "Does that mean I'm scared of storms? Because then, yes, yes I am."
The politician smiled, wrapping his arms around his darling. "You're frozen, mon chérie."
"Mm."
"Would you like some hot chocolate?" Mycroft asked. He sounded genuinely concerned about the cold cop, wrapped inside his soft blue blanket.
"Mm," Greg repeated, muffled against Mycroft's slender torso. "Lovely."
Snuggled under a virtual mountain of duvets, Greg Lestrade slurped his drink. "I have the best boyfriend ever," he beamed.
This is my attempt at writing an advent calender style thing. It is Sherlock drabbles, and will be updated most days. I may miss some days with all my work, but I'll try to keep it up to date. The five pairings are Mystrade, Dimolly, Johnlock, Santhea and MorMor. So, if you're interested, just hit the subscribe button!
