Albert and Mycroft's S/O Bragging About Them Headcanons
Albert James Moriarty and Mycroft Holmes
A/N: It's cool! Thank you for the request ^^ kind of bitter that there isn't a chibi version of Mycroft, but hope you enjoy it!
You were hanging out with your friends in the gardens, catching up with each other while drinking tea and eating cake.
Unknown to your group, Albert just came back from his trip and wanted to surprise you with your favorite snacks and souvenirs.
He was looking around the gardens and spotted you in the corner of his eye.
Seeing you were with your friends, he stopped and wanted to wait for the right time to surprise you.
One thing led to another, and your friends asked where Albert was, and you said he was still on a trip and coming back tomorrow.
Your friends shared uneasy looks, saying they heard rumors of Albert being seen with another woman and were worried about you.
It also didnât help that Albert was always away on trips, and women fawn over him at parties.
This caught you and Albert by surprise.
Albert frowned at himself as he looked down at the treat bag.
He knew he knew his work had been taking a lot on him, getting more overtime than usual.
It also doesnât help that when you are together, the two of you are usually at parties getting intel from fussy nobles.
But the fact that there are rumors of Albert being unfaithful to you caught him off guard.
ââŚI appreciate your concern, but there really is nothing for you to worry about,â you reassured, your voice unshaken in the slightest.
âIf I had to guess, it must have been Moneypenny Albert was with, his secretary,â you chuckled, catching your friends by surprise.
âIt is true that some other party guests can be⌠troublesome, but itâs nothing I canât handle,â
âAnd besides, I always had Albert by my side,â you smiled, recalling all the times Albert had helped you from frivolous guests, âAnd heâd never let anyone hurt me,â
âI know how passionate and sincere he is about work. Itâs one of the things I love about him,â you lightly laughed, âAnd I donât want to get in the way of that,â
âBut donât you get lonely when heâs away?â
âHm⌠I indeed miss him every time he leaves,â you confessed, spinning your drink in your hand,
âBut I always get to spend a whole day with him before and after the trip, so itâs not so bad⌠And I know he loves me since he would always call me every day without fail,â you smiled fondly. Your calls while heâs away almost become routine for you both.
âNot to mention his gifts when he comes home⌠He always has this smile when he-â your cheeks flushed as soon as those words left your mouth, regret slowly seeping in as your friends sneered and smirked.
âAnd here we were worried about you,â
âPlease forget what I saidâŚâ you muttered, burying your face in your hands.
You continued on with your chat, teasing you from time to time when you would rant about your beloved.
Knowing your chat would take a while, Albert decided to wait for you inside the mansion.
William and Sebastian didnât let the happy expression on his face go unnoticed, though.
Especially since he couldnât stop smiling the whole day.
Knowing Mycroft would probably skip lunch again, you decided to pay him a visit in the office and prepare him food.
Seeing he was out, you decided to wait for him in front of his office.
Thatâs when Albert spotted you around the corner.
You two made some small talk, most of it about Mr. Government himself, Albert lightly teasing you about Mycroftâs homemade lunch.
âHeâs a lucky guy,â
âOh please, Iâm pretty sure Iâm the lucky one here,â you joked, making Albert smile.
Albert saw Mycroft walking up to you two, making an idea pop up in his mind.
âI would beg to differ. A lot of our co-workers are actually surprised to hear that Mikey had a partner,â Albert started, making Mycroft stop by the corner, and you look up in confusion.
âWellâŚâ Albert sat down next to you, making you turn to him while he had a full view of Mycroftâs hiding spot.
âFirst of all, he isnât very good at socializing and expressing his emotions. Plus, as you said, he can be quite the workaholic,â
âWell, he is really hard-working, and he isnât that crazy for physical affection either,â you started, making Mycroft listen intently.
âBut that doesnât mean I love him any less,â you waved your hand, making Mycroft look at you in surprise.
âHeâs practically the government, so I know how big of a responsibility that is,â
âAnd he may not be that into kissing, hugging, and all that, but he shows his love differently,â
âLike whenever weâre out, he always walks by the road and makes sure Iâm okay. He also never fails to bring me flowers when heâs working overtime and make it up with a date,â
âWell, Sherly usually comes along,â you lightly laughed, remembering the time Sherlock came running to you both covered in blood.
âDoesnât that bother you?â
âOf course not! Sherlockâs really fun to hang out with,â you smiled, âAnd I know how much Mycroft cares for his little brother, ah! But donât tell him I said that,â
âI wonât,â Albert chuckled, seeing Mycroftâs ear turning pink, âBut itâs good to see youâre happy,â
âYeah! He may not be as expressive as other people, but itâs what makes him⌠him. And I wouldnât change him for the world,â you sincerely said with a loving smile.
âI see⌠How nice,â Albert complimented, seeing Mycroft straightening himself up.
Seeing Mycroft walking up to the both of you, Albert put a stop at your little chat.
As you gave Mycroft his lunch, Albert smiled to himself as Mycroft tried not to show his embarrassed expression from your conversation with the oldest Moriarty.
Albert gave him a knowing smile as he went behind you, making Mycroft glare at him.
âT-Thank you,â he mumbled, trying to keep his composure.
âIâll just wait for you inside,â Albert waved goodbye as he went ahead, making Mycroft grumble.
He let out a sigh as he looked around. Making sure that no one was looking, he gave you a kiss on the cheek.
â-Itâs not that I dislike physical affection, you know?â he mumbled, the tips of his ears turning red.
You smiled to yourself as you touched the cheek he kissed.
âI see⌠Iâll keep that in mind,â you teased, kissing him back and walking away, covering your red face.
âIâll see you back home!â you hollered, hoping he didnât see how red you were.
âI see youâre in a good mood,â Albert teased, making Mycroft glare at him.
âWas it necessary to talk to (Y/N) about that?â
âWell, you have been restless these past few days, so I wanted to ease your worries,â Albert half-lied, making Mycroft scoff.
âAnyway, why were you at my office?â
âI have some paperwork that I need you to sign,â Albert answered as he gave him some files and papers.
Albert looked over to the bag you gave earlier.
Albert chuckled as Mycroft gave him another glare, scanning over the papers.
As he waited, he saw your silhouette come back by the windows.
âEither way, itâs good to see you and (Y/N) are doing well,â Albert started, seeing your figure stop.
âYes, I would have to make it up to them this weekend,â Mycroft muttered, focusing on the paperwork.
âWell, I already told my secretary to send them flowers tonight. They talked about this new restaurant opening up, and it had their favorite dessert on the menu. Thereâs also that zoo and aquarium they wanted to visit a while back, but I also bought them the new book theyâve been waiting for so we could stay at home,â
âYou really have thought about this,â
âOf course, I havenât seen them in a while and-â Mycroft stopped mid-way and glared at Albert.
âPlease donât divert to personal affairs in the workplace,â
âWhy me? Iâm not the one who would always talk about their partner any chance they got,â
Mycroft grumbled as he gave Albert back the papers.
âJust goâŚâ Albert gave Mycroft a curt bow as he walked out of the office, seeing you leave in a hurry with a red face.
