So, I have absolutely no idea where this came from...

A Proposal


"I love you."

There was absolute silence in the near vicinity after that statement. Everyone turned to look at the man who had just said those words.

"I adore you."

Sherlock looked completely baffled at his brother. Had he heard correctly? His brother, who found caring to be a weakness and crushed all sentiment, was actually confessing feelings to having feelings?

John was a bit shocked, but it soon turned into somewhat of a smug feeling. So, the Holmes brothers weren't entirely heartless as they always claimed to be. But he already knew that. This was just further proof.

"Will you marry me?"

Mycroft was actually kneeling in front of a small petite form, a form who was currently wearing a spotless white tuxedo and a white and silver mask, covering the face.

"So, you finally found me, Mycroft. You really are persistent about this, aren't you? Yes, Mycroft Holmes, I will marry you."

And then the small figure kissed Mycroft.

Mycroft quickly took the ring from the box and fitted it on the figure's gloved hand.

And then the figure was moving and out the window before anyone could blink.

Mary prodded John in the ribs. "Did Mycroft just propose to someone?"

"I think so, but who did he propose to? Sherlock, do you know?"

But Sherlock was standing there, completely mind-blown. His brother had actually proposed to someone?

And Mycroft was back to his usual cold self, carrying on conversations like nothing had ever happened.


Alright, I confess I put this up because I wanted at least one 'Complete' work, because I've got major writer's block. Happy December, though. ~VM
