@redactcd wants a John starter.

        “---so, er. My uni mates are throwing a Halloween party and         invited me, maybe you’ll like to come with. That is to say, if         you’re not busy.   Costume’s optional.”

He wasn’t even planning to go; he never did go to such parties. But it turned out that whenever he found himself standing outside Mycroft Holmes’ office waiting on the brother who was his flatmate, he had to make use of the opportunity. She must have time off sometimes, even for government.

Immediately stilling, Mycroft spared a split second glance at the hand on his knee. Anthea touching him meant that something was wrong - and if she thought that him remaining seated would fix that situation, her track record dictated that she should be trusted.

He did not speak - instead simply raising an eyebrow at the other, fully expecting her to say the first word.
