Mycroft may be known as The Ice Man, but that doesn't mean he is one.
Sherlock knew he was different to those around him, he'd known since early childhood, his skills ability to deduce and read people were unbeknown for other five year olds. It wasn't until his accident with Victor Trevor did the young curly haired boy know how different he was.
They played pirates, they always did, they were six-year-old children, Yellowbeard and Redbeard, Captain and First Mate of whatever the chosen name of the ship was that day, this time, 'The Master of All Seas'.
Sherlock was pretending to steer when he all of a sudden he couldn't think, he lost control of all balance then dropped to the ground, shivering and seizing, Victor tried to run to his friend but was cocooned in a ball of ice, Victor screamed and banged the thin walls and eventually made it through. Victor raced away from Sherlock to get a grown-up. Instead Mycroft showed up, swaddling his little brother in a blanket like a baby, carrying him home.
Mummy and Father were not sure how to handle the situation at first, it concluded with a near lifetime of years of isolation in a place called Sherrinford, that also condemned minimum human contact that was only his family and the Doctors, Nurses and professional help for the young boy. Due to the severity of the treatment Sherlock was emotionally and socially stunted. The only way to pass the time was to dive into his Winter abilities and skills of deductions.
