John and Sherlock are always together, even when they are not they text nonstop. Nothing could tear them apart. That is until a strange man becomes involved in their lives for the not so greater good and the boys find that holding on to each other is going to be harder than it seems. John/Sherlock and Mycroft/Greg.

8. Chapter 8- Halloween- part one

A/N- Hello! So this is kind of weird me posting a Halloween chapter when Halloween was last week but oh well! It is in two parts and the second part will be uploaded between Sunday-Tuesday.

We have reached over 2,000 views! So in light of this I'm celebrating by taking in the prompts I received on tumblr (there's still time to send them in! Link to my tumblr is in my profile) and writing little chapters for you all. These can either be related to this fanfic or not. Depending on what you want and the rating it may be uploaded to my A03 account.

A big warm thank you to those who have liked/followed this story so far and new people!

DISCLAIMER- I don't own anything. All characters you see in this fanfiction belong to BBC Sherlock. All I own is the plot and my OCs.

Any mistakes are my own so please tell me if you see any grammar mistakes.

Feedback feeds my muse so please leave a review and tell me what you think of this chapter.

Chapter 8- Halloween - Part one (Johnlock/Mystrade)

The day before Halloween

Hey would you get the costumes on your way home please? –JW

Costumes? –SH

Yes. Costumes. –JW

For who? –SH

For us. –JW

Why do we need costumes? –SH

For the party. –JW

Party? –SH

Yes a party, Sherlock. –JW

What party? –SH

Mike Stamford's Halloween party! It's tomorrow. –JW

Absolutely not. –SH

Absolutely yes. We promised we'd go. –JW

I never made such a promise. –SH

I know you didn't but I did. –JW

Why would you do such a thing? –SH

Because Halloween is fun. –JW

Who considers Halloween fun? –SH

Well... children. –JW

Do I look like a child to you, John? –SH

You're certainly bloody acting like one. We are going and that's final. –JW

[No reply]

You might want to warn your brother as well I don't think Greg has told him about the party yet. -JW

And no peeking at the costumes until you tomorrow. –JW

Fine. –SH

-X-

Hello brother, how are you? –SH

What do you want Sherlock? –MH

Why would you think I wanted something? –SH

We both know that when you text me with those exact words then it means you want something from me and you are in fact not concerned about my well being. –MH

I'm hurt that you think of me like that. –SH

We both that's not true, now what is it that you want, I am rather busy. –MH

I want nothing. I was just wondering what you and Lestrade are wearing for the party. –SH

What party? –MH

It's Halloween tomorrow; make your own deduction on what party I'm referring to. –SH

Gregory and I are not going to a Halloween party. –MH

That's what you think. –SH

Absolutely not. –MH

That's exactly what I said. –SH

I will not allow this. –MH

Too late brother, it's already done. –SH

''Why should I go? I'm not friends with Mike Stamford,'' Mycroft huffs, arms folded and a scowl on his face similar to when a baby suckles on a wedge of lemon.

''Well I am his friend and it's plus one and seeing as how your my boyfriend I think me wanting to go with you shouldn't be shocking,'' Greg explains as he skirts past Mycroft and heads into his kitchen.

''You can say you're busy.'' Mycroft follows Greg into the kitchen and stands behind him, wrapping one arm around his waist and bringing his lips down to kiss along the man's neck.

''I know what you're doing and it won't work. Besides it's too late, our costumes have arrived. '' He turns around to face Mycroft and places a hand on his cheek. ''Why won't you come with me?''

''I have no problem in doing that, Gregory, in fact...''

Greg chuckles and playfully taps at Mycroft's shoulder. ''You know what I meant! Please come to the party with me, it will be fun.''

''You and I both have different definitions of fun,'' Mycroft says and pulls Greg closer to him.

''I meant to ask why do you still call me Gregory? Everybody else calls me Greg.''

''I'm not everybody else. Gregory is your name or if you prefer my name for you, no one else calls you Gregory therefore its special.''

Greg rolls his eyes, knowing Mycroft is too stubborn to change his mind and reaches up to brush his lips against Mycroft's. ''Is that the only thing that's special?''

Mycroft darts out to connect his lips with Greg's before leaning down and whispering in his ear, ''I would tell you but I'd rather show you.''

[Halloween- Two hours before the party]

Sherlock doesn't want to admit it but he might have been wrong. He stands in his, no John and his bedroom in front of the wardrobe mirror inspecting his costume.

John has chosen a pirates or more specifically Captain Hook's outfit for Sherlock's costume. Sherlock runs his fingers through the dark tendrils of the wig, his hands smooth down the red velvet coat and his feet lightly stamp in the black buckled shoes. He reaches for the hook that came with the costume and straps it on, feeling peculiar with the loss of one hand. He scrunches his nose up and the fake moustache and beard tickle against his skin.

He sighs, still not pleased about being dragged to the party by John and closes the wardrobe door and exits the bedroom.

John who changed in his old bedroom upstairs is standing in the middle of the living room waiting for Sherlock. He smiles when he sees Sherlock do a double take at his costume. John is wearing his old medic army uniform with his dog tags. He strides over to Sherlock, grinning and says ''Not much of a costume but I thought you'd enjoy it.''

Sherlock swallows hard unable to string a sentence together to tell John how amazing he looks. He has never seen John's uniform before, mostly because John wouldn't allow him to. When Sherlock doesn't answer John grabs his hand and leads him towards the door.

''C'mon,'' He says, ''you'll be able to tell me how great I look later. Mycroft and Greg are waiting for us outside.''

Sherlock just nods grabbing the feathered hat before trailing after John.
