Dear me, I do adore Mycroft...but not quite as much as Benedict Cumberbatch. Congrats Mr. Cumberbatch on winning GQ Actor of the Year. We're all quite proud of you!
Minx
Mycroft leaned back in his chair, gazing thoughtfully at his computer, watching John Watson turn the color of a wild strawberry as Sherlock made his intentions of having the man as his assistant known.
"What a little minx you are, Sherlock," murmured the elder Holmes, grinning. Keeping his eye on the security camera image, he picked up his cell phone, dialing a very familiar number.
"…Mummy? It's Mycroft. …Yes, I'm just fine, how are you? …Excellent. Now, I just wanted to let you know to expect Sherlock to bring a friend home for Christmas. …Yes, Mummy, I know it's September…"
Prompt was #72: wild strawberry (that's a color?)
