Mycroft and Greg lips were millimeters apart when they heard someone coming towards them and they quickly sprung apart. They were both blushing as one of the guests walked passed, seeming oblivious to what he'd just interrupted.
"We should probably get back, Mummy will be wondering what happened to us," said Mycroft, kissing Greg softly on the cheek before taking his hand and leading him back to the party.
Mycroft's mother noticed them returning to the room and quickly made her way towards them before they could escape again; she was dying to meet Mycroft's boyfriend.
"Mummy, it's lovely to see you again," said Mycroft, placing a kiss on his mother's cheek, but still not letting go of Greg's hand.
"Gregory Lestrade I presume, I've heard so many wonderful things about you from Mycroft, it's a pleasure to meet you," said Mrs Holmes, smiling at Greg after noticing Mycroft's and Greg's linked hands.
"It's great to finally meet you Mrs Holmes, Mycroft has said nothing but good things about you," said Greg, smiling in return at Mycroft's mother.
"Mycroft, if you'd excuse me I'd like a quick word with Gregory alone," and then she took Greg by the arm before either of them could protest and led him away, leaving Mycroft standing there alone and already missing Greg.
Mrs Holmes took Greg out of the ballroom and down the hall to what looked like her office. She sat down in one of the chairs in the room and offered the one beside her to Greg. Once Greg was seated she took his hand in hers, she hadn't stopped smiling since she'd met him.
"I just wanted to tell you how happy I am that you and Mycroft are together, I can see how much happier he is with you. I wanted to say thank you, I always thought he'd end up alone and I was skeptical about you two being a couple when I first saw you together but now I can see how much you love each other," and before Greg could do or say anything she had stood making Greg quickly stand too. Greg could feel himself blushing at Mrs Holmes' words and she linked their arms together again and led him back to the ballroom and to Mycroft.
She kissed Greg on the cheek and smiled at them both before turning around and walking off to go talk to other guests.
"What was that about?" asked Mycroft, as Greg still stood staring after Mrs Holmes, rather shocked and confused at the events of the past few minutes.
"I…ah, I'm not too sure, I think she was thanking me, thanking me for making you happy," replied Greg, turning to look at Mycroft and grinned at the look of love and affection Mycroft was giving him.
"Well I can't argue with that, tonight you've made me happier than I've been in my entire life," said Mycroft, wrapping an arm around Greg's waist and pulling him close.
"I love you too," said Greg, reaching up and kissing Mycroft gently on the lips.
