warnings: (intoxication) (lesbian references)


Mycroft and Lara spent the night talking about the wedding and how mycroft planned to tell mummy 'Mycroft I think I like someone...' Lara suddenly blurted it out, she couldn't really talk to Sherlock about this stuff, mycroft had always been the one she had gone to with everything.

mycroft put the tea he was currently drinking 'Lara you either like them or you don't, now let me guess it's Lily' Lara looked down at the tea that currently in front of her circling it with her index finger.

'yes...I do like Lily...but em she has a girlfriend' there was a silence before mycroft spoke 'the way I see it is you have two choices, you could tell her how you fell and hope she feels the same way, and if not hopefully you can still be friends, or you could not say anything, die a little inside everyday and regret it forever, just so she will be happy'

'thanks mike that really helps' she said with a world of sarcasm in her voice.

'I'm just saying, you seen Sherlock when he and john were only friends and he was dating Mary...do you really want to be like that?'

'anyway lets move on, so what song did you pick for your first dance?' the black hair girl sighed sick of talking about her self.

'alright, I'm here if you want to talk...gregory and I were thinking 1-2-3-4 by the plain White T's'

'thats a great song, so romantic, so wheres Greg?' Lara asked.

'hes coming down tomorrow' mycroft said smiling to himself.

'I'm so happy for you' Lara jumped up like a puppy hugging her brother 'I'm going to go to bed my, I'll em see you in the morning' she turned her heels holding back the tears that began to form.

'Lara before you go'

'yeah?' she turned still trying to hold back tears.

'will you be my best man'

'yes! yes of course I will' Lara ran to her brother hugging 'you know mummy is going to kill you when she finds out you didn't pick Sherlock' she sighed 'its my wedding not hers' she hugged him tighter not caring about the tears rolling down her cheeks.

'Lara are you crying?' mycroft questioned lousing his grip on his sister to look at her face.

'there em happy tears?' she lied knowing he would see right though it.

'Lara dear I know its hard, remember what father always told us "caring is not an advantage" and it's not because with care comes love' Lara smiled sadly at her brother, he was right with caring did come love.

'I'm just going to leave her to be happy, I could never compare to Anthea, I mean look at me'

'Anthea? Anthea isn't dating Lily' he crocked an eyebrow at her.

'yes she is, they have been dating for two months' the Holmes girl said wiping the tears from her eyes and cheeks.

'no...shes been dating sally for a month now, shes my accident, I would know'

'mike can we talk in the morning? I'm really tired'

the red head modded, Lara walked upstairs to her room, closing the door as soon as she got into her room, tears soon forming again, "why do I always have to be the good guy?" she wondered "why can't I pick my own feelings over everyone elas's?"

she walked into her bathroom and stood in front of her mirror that hung above her sink, hands on either side of it, Lara closed her eyes tightly gripping the sink, words echoed through her head like a tornado "Holmes don't cry" Sherlock had always told her that, in the Holmes house hold you were not allowed any emotions.

Lara took off her glasses, wiping the hot tears from her eyes, she turned on her shower, locking her bathroom door, stripping from her cloths, she stepped into the shower, the hot water falling upon her.

after a half an hour of listening to music in the shower Lara got out, putting on Grey sweat pants and a blue T.F.I.O.S t-shirt, she throw her hair up in a bun and put her glasses back on.

Lara turned on her TV, for some reason watching romantic movie that spoon feed you the plot made her feed better, she put on sunrise on Leith then got into bed only having to get up five minutes later.

she rose from her bed walking down her dimly lit hall, she knocked before before entering Sherlock's room covering her eyes with her hand 'guys can you keep it down or you know stop having sex? thanks that would be great' Lara exited not giving them time to respond.

Lara walked into her bedroom, stopping at the door she crocked her eyebrow at her brother who was laying on her bed.

'what are you doing?'

'its a romantic film, that is a musical set in Scotland, of course I'm going to barge in here and watch it' Mycroft said smirking.

'fine but no talking about Lily or that slut she calls a girlfriend' the bitterness seeping through her voice.

'alright dear sister, that was harsh' Lara rolled her eyes and closed her door pressing play on the remote and got into bed, falling asleep after ten minutes.


Lara woke up late Sunday after noon, she smiled happily remembering Greg was coming up today which would have mycroft extremely happy, Greg had great blackmail material it was always great fun having him around he was like her brother, and now he was getting married to mycroft, it was great.

Meghan Holmes suddenly barged into Lara's room ripping the blankets off of her daughter who was half asleep 'get up Lara it one o' clock' the cold air hit Lara's body like a bullet 'mmm...no...' she murmured turning onto her side.

'did you know your brother was gay?'

'yes how could you not? have you ever talked to mycroft mummy?' Lara sat up, putting on her glasses quickly grabbing a bobbin putting her hair up in a sloppy ponytail.

'are you saying I'm a queen? mycroft questioned

'yes, and I think Greg would agree with me' Lara pointed out when Greg walked into her room.

'its true mike, you can be a bit of a queen' greg agreed when Lara got up and hugged him.

'why am I marrying you?' mycroft hit Greg at the back of his head a smirk on his face, walking out of the bedroom, Meghan Holmes stood there a soft smile on her face. walked out of the room murmuring to herself about raising a gay house hold.


Ian answered his door already knowing who it was, leaving Irene and Molly alone with each other was never a good idea but somebody had to answer the door, Lara was wearing blue skinny jeans, a plain white t-shirt, and a Grey hoddie.

'hey' she smiled seeing at Ian

'hey, come in and I apogise in advance' lara came in slightly confused 'why are you-oh' she stopped mid sentence when she saw Irene and molly groping each other, Ian walked in 'I may have found out your dating, but that does not mean you can dry hump on our couch, seriously I left for two seconds how does that even happen?'

they quickly moved away from each other, Ian and Lara moved up the stairs 'I should get a hose' he joked 'I heard that Ian' his mother called after him ' and I mean it' Ian rotated back at her. they entered Ian's room, Lara took a seat on Ian's bed her back agent the wall.

'care to explain what I just saw?'

'I didnt think you would need that explained to you , well my mum was on top of Lily's mum, they were kissing and-'

'not that, there dating?' Ian closed his door and sat next to her 'yes they are dating, and yes I plan on getting a spray bottle so when they start making out in front of me I can make them stop' he smiled as Lara began laughing.

Ian began to tell Lara what had happened the day before leaving out the fact he told his mother she was in love with Lily, not because he forgot he just didn't want Lara to punch him in the face. 'wow...five months that's a long time to hide a relationship, how did they get together?' Lara questioned, Ian cursed 'I knew I forgot to ask something, why don't you go down and ask them?' she laughed at the shier though 'oh Ian that's so funny, you think I'm going to ask them, did you forget I'm socialy awkward'

'come on' Ian grabbed Lara's hand pulling her downstairs and into his living room, to both of their relief they weren't groping each other, molly was watching something on TV and Irene was reading, she glanced up from her book when the pair appeared at the door.

Ian pushed Lara forward into the room 'mum, Lara has wants to ask you and molly something' that got their attention, Irene marked the page she was reading and put the book down, molly muted the TV and turned to give Lara her full attention.

'what no! em I em I was...wondering how you started dating' she glared at Ian, why would he do this? why? molly looked at her girlfriend awkwardly 'she started as a client of mine, I'm a dom-' 'yes she knows mum, she's like her brothers' Ian interrupted his mum seeing the red glow molly was sporting in her cheeks.

'all though I didn't guess the lesbian thing' Lara stammered nervously, Mrs Adler crocked an eyebrow implying for her to go on 'its just the em nails...' Irene nodded in responded she turned to her girlfriend who looked confused, until Irene whispered something in her ear making her go redder than before.

'so Lara dear, Ian tells me you're in love with Lily' Irene began, Lara's eyes widened 'he what...' she turned to her best friend with a almost painful glare 'Lara thinks your both attractive' Ian blurted out figuring Lara couldn't get any angrier 'how does that even imply to this situation?!' Lara questioned the angry rising in her voice 'well its true you do' 'that's not the point Ian' Ian moved into the room sitting beside his mother and smirked at Lara she couldn't hit him there

'wait which one is true?' molly asked Ian turned to her 'both' 'oh I see its attack Lara day...great'


it was two o' clock in the morning and everyone was a sleep apart from mycroft, Greg had gone to bed three hours ago and mycroft continued to read until this time, he walked upstairs seeing Lara's light on, she knocked before entering his sisters room, the room smelled violently like vodka, oh god she hadn't had she... 'Lara are you drinking at two o' clock in the morning on a Sunday when you have school tomorrow?' she snorted and pointed at her brother 'no!' which of course ended with Lara falling off her bed.

she eventually sat up and told mycroft what happened at Ian's, mycroft laughed at it all making Lara sulk by the end of it 'I also did something really stupid' she announced finally sobering up after an hour later.
'well as long as you didn't text Lily were fine' Lara suddenly looked away from her brother, he sighed 'show me the text' she handed her brother the phone.

he quickly looked the text over reading it to himself "oh my god you don't understand how much I want to kiss you, or watch movies with you,
or fall asleep with you, or cuddle with you,
or hold your hand your hand I want to do everything with you and it kills me that I can't PS: Anthea is cheating on you"

'oh Lara...' mycroft sighed pity in his voice 'that bad...?' 'definitely that bad' Lara turned and put her head under a pillow, maybe it would all be a dream maybe it was just a nightmare, Mycroft put a hand on her back 'you should probably go to sleep, tomorrow is going to be a long day' and with that she sat up and took off her glasses, then took out the bobbin from her hair 'night mycroft' she smiled weakly getting back into bed 'night Lara'
