Step Twenty-One: Life With Mycroft Holmes III
Their lives didn't change much when they got back. They ate breakfast, lunch or dinner together when they could. They read and watched movies when they could. They went out on dates and had sex and texted or called each other when they were busy.
But Greg would never forget that Mycroft Holmes (or Mycroft Holmes-Lestrade as he introduced himself when with Greg) was his husband. That amazing, brilliant, weird man was Greg's and Greg's only.
There were arguments, yeah. The couple fought when Mycroft didn't sleep for three days or skipped every meal because he was working or thought he was gaining weight. There were arguments when Greg worked himself ragged trying to find a killer and wouldn't take five minutes to have a break.
But they always made up. Foul words and cancelled dates and nights spent on the couch couldn't change the fact that they loved each other.
They'd been through a lot and would no doubt face more hurdles in the future.
But they were in love.
And that's what mattered.
Author's Note: So this is where I'm up to and I'm halfway through chapter twenty-two so there might be a bit of a wait. All in all there are about twenty-seven chapters unless I decide to add anything else.
Cheers to all the people who have reviewed and thanks for reading! Hopefully I'll update this again shortly.
