Mycroft's POV
The rest of the vacation goes smoothly, he enjoys the sex, and they have fun changing it up. By the time they leave for London, he knows a great deal more about the younger man's body. Surprisingly, he learns about his own body too.
Once they are back in London, life returns to normal. Or as normal as it ever is. He works a lot, often traveling for his job. There are plenty of situations he ends up taking his companion with him as a guard, and several he takes John with him as a date.
When he's not out of the city, he often finds himself spending a lot of time at the home he gave John. He enjoys the quiet moments where they share. He often works on paperwork while the blonde works on his assignments for the university.
Even his brother comes around and isn't as high as he used to be. It's actually after hearing about when he came across a cop and his crime scene that he comes up with a deal for Sherlock. Not that he admits it. Instead he makes an appointment with Lestrade, the cop that didn't arrest his brother for being high at a crime scene and gives a few suggestions regarding his brother that in turn become a good distraction for him.
John gets drawn into helping Sherlock with cases, but still comes home to him at night. He's still the one that gets to call the ex-soldier his.
It is after one of those cases that he has an epiphany. He's been practically living with John for the last six months. He thinks of the younger man not as a companion, but as a person he cares for deeply, maybe even loves. John's his home.
It floors him. Leaving him breathless as he considers the implications of that.
Who would have guessed that going to a club to catch a traitor would cause so many changes in his life? Definitely not him. Had someone told him that last year, he would have had them sectioned for being delusional. Now though, he wouldn't trade it for the world.
