7. I found a key

Greg got called out in the early hours of the morning to a double homicide. It was bad. After a hours it was clear to anyone, that this was either going to be one hell of a long and time consuming case, or a cold one.

They were thorough and it still took his team most of the day. Around lunch time he started to get hungry and just a little bit bored. Placing his hands in his pockets he started to fumble with his keys as he thought of home and Mycroft and all the things in his happy place. He was still playing with his keys when something felt off. Frowning he pulled out his keys and had a closer look, that's when he saw it. Innocent, inconspicuous, small and silver, shining in the light.

A key he didn't recognise. A key he, Greg Lestrade, most certainly didn't add. He looked up, uncertain what it could mean, but still having a good idea.

He needed to make sure so he quickly removed his phone.

"I found a key. GL."

"That's interesting, Pandora's box or an underground secret society lure? MH."

Greg rolled his eyes at the reply; let no one ever say Mycroft isn't sarcastic.

"Hahaha. It's a small silver key, doubt it would fit in Pandora's Box, nor underground lairs. GL"

"That's a shame. MH."

"Love is this your home key? GL."

"It's my house key, it doesn't become a home until your there. MH."

Greg blushed as he read it, his heart swelling so big he was in danger of it beating out of his chest and lifting him up, as in the cartoons. He did that. He did that to Mycroft.

"So I take it I'm moving in? GL."

"Yes. You are already programmed into the security scanners, and the security is aware of you moving in, with your sometimes erratic schedule. MH."

"Impressive. Which room is mine ;) GL."

"The main one. MH."

"Sharing with you? Only a one bedroom flat? GL."

"Yes, the economy hit us all. Even the British Government had to downside we only have one bathroom now as well. MH."

"Oh that's inconvenient, guess we'll just have to share then you know what they say. GL."

"And what's that? MH."

"Save water bath with a friend... A very sexy and amazing super close friend. GL."

"We'll have to save on heat too, we have no choice but to cuddle and sleep close. MH."

"I love you love. Thank you for this. GL."

"Same. See you tonight? MH"

"See you at home. XXX. GL"
