This chapter is based on the lyrics: "Uptown girl, she's been living in her uptown world world, I bet she never had a backstreet guy, I bet her mama never told her why"
"I'm not lonely, Sherlock" Mycroft repeated in his head after his interaction with his brother that day, He wasn't. H e had plenty of men bidding for his attention.
He thought back to his younger years and how his mother had talked of dating. Though Meghan Holmes was not overly protective few rules about who her son's dated as Mycroft recalled...
"what is this about mummy?" Mycroft asked. his mother had called he and his brother into the living room, he had been doing homework in his room, while Sherlock had been in their stables feeding their horses -He trusted no one else to look after them-
Both boys sat on the couch before looking up at their mother curiously.
"Now boys" she began "I don't care who you date Men, Women, both" she looked at her youngest knowingly before continuing "As long as you don't date bellow your class"
she sat on the table in front of them "You are Holmes boy's, one of the the most upper class families in Britain. You should not and will not settle for anyone one else who isn't at least middle class"
Mycroft listened closely and nodded "yes mummy"
Sherlock rolled his eyes "yes mummy"
"my good boy's!" Meghan kissed their cheeks before leaving the room.
"Mummy's boy!" Sherlock sneered at his brother, Mycroft would do anything their mother asked without question.
"shut up Sherlock" Mycroft sighed.
"you'd still sit in her lap if you could" His brother chuckled
"I said shut up Sherlock" The elder Holmes began to blush, he had done exactly that last night while talking to his mother.
"don't you have horses to go feed?" he demanded.
"oh shit!" Sherlock ran back out of the house and Mycroft went back to his homework. Neither Holmes questioned their mother words.
