Mycroft pressed his lips to Greg's temple, "Gregory, darling?"

The whisper had the DI groaning awake, "Wassup?" He yawned widely, blinking his brown eyes and rubbing at them sleepily.

"Something's come up, mon chérie," Mycroft leant over the bed to kiss Greg chastely on the lips. "I'm flying to Sydney immediately."

"Oh," Greg said. He scratched his middle, rolling onto his back to wrap the sheets around himself.

"I promise that I won't be too long. You just wait here, and I'll be back as soon as I can."

"You want me to stay right here, and not move an inch?" Greg splayed out in the centre of the bed. "Can do!"

Mycroft chuckled, kissing him again. "I'll call as soon as I can, darling. I'm sure I can work with Adelaide to sort this out."

"Adelaide your assistant or Adelaide the city?" Greg raised an eyebrow.

Mycroft smoothed his clothes, "Adelaide the Australian me." He straightened his waistcoat before adding, "My assistant is using the name Artemis today."

"Fair enough," Greg yawned again. "I love you."

"I love you too," the politician smiled. "Go back to sleep." Mycroft crept from bedroom, closing the door softly so that Greg wouldn't stir. He heaved a sigh as he sat in the car, watching London's most iconic landmarks whip themselves into a blur.

The idea of 'multiple Mycrofts' running the scene was very popular, so I thought I'd mention more of them. This one is Adelaide J. Barneston, the Australian Government, and she probably has one of my favourite names. This is for all the lovers of multiple Mycrofts.

To those of you wondering why I've written Sherlock: A Day In The Life Of Mycroft Holmes as my inspiration again, it's because it is one my favourite stories EVER. So if you haven't read it, please go and do so.

Reviews are love :)
