Sherlock 10
Mycroft 17
"What are you doing home?" Mycroft asks, surprised to find his brother in the kitchen when he's not usually home from school yet.
"Came home sick," he shrugs, mixing something in a bowl.
"You don't appear sick," he accuses, "Where's Sylvia?"
"Went to the shoppes…" Sherlock checks the oven.
"Are you making scones?" Mycroft wonders in mild surprise as he sits at the kitchen counter.
"I was bored."
"So you came home from school, which is more interesting, to end up baking."
"School is tedious…" Sherlock sighs dramatically, pulling out the batch of scones, "Plus Jamie and I made a wager to see who could fake sick and go home."
"You won I take it?" Mycroft eyes the treats, "They aren't poisoned are they?" he asks cautiously.
"Of course I won; he's bringing round the work I missed." He smirks triumphantly, "And they're all fine, for now," he indicates the scones, placing them on the rack.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well the red glaze," Sherlock indicates, stirring it. "May contain something that could render you unconscious…" he states cryptically.
Mycroft frowns at the information, "And the uncolored glaze?"
"Is maple flavored," he smiles.
"You put sedatives in the glaze…" the older boy clarifies, trying to wrap his head around the notion as he sniffs a supposedly maple scone.
"It's not like we had melatonin or belladonna lying about," Sherlock rationalizes.
"I suppose not…" Mycroft agrees, taking a wary bite of the treat. "Mummy will be cross if you used all of her sleep aids."
"I'll just give the woman a red scone…I think I put it in the red one," the younger boy contemplates, causing his brother to choke on the pastry until he realizes it was a joke.
There's a knock at the front the door, Sherlock takes one of each scone and puts them in separate bags for his friend before running with them to answer the door.
AN: Thank you for the prompts etc! Please keep it up, chances are I'll use it... any and all ideas are welcomed for the brothers, vague or detailed (doesn't matter).
Just don't forget to mention ages and such, since this is random bits of the brothers relationship. (keep in mind they are 7 years apart.)
Also check out the spin off story from Chapter 9 called Seven Percent (THANKS!)
