I simply love your blog. May I request an imagine, with Mycroft wondering why the reader is so stressed only to find out that the reader managed to start studying physics without him noticing at first?
It had been going on for too long; the zombie-like persona in the mornings and late afternoons, the shakes from untold cups of coffee and her office space littered with scribbled notes in what could be convinced that a toddler did them.
Mycroft may not have been stateside for over a month but even he knows that this all began slowly, gradually prior to his visit to Hong Kong on behalf of the crown.
Their Skype sessions and phone calls gave nothing away other that _____ had been stressed but unfortunately most of his finest security had been settled on Sherlock as of late thanks to Eurus’ advances.
Taking a deep breath in and saying a quick prayer Mycroft gives ______’s personal home office door a gentle knock.
And indeed Mycroft gives her a minute.
Then figuring he’d better just go in anyway Mycroft opens the door to peer inside tentatively.”______, Darling, are you okay?” he calls out only to see _____ turning circles in piles of scrap papers and books.
Finally catching _____’s eyes she stops her stride and gestures with the book, “Mycroft, I said give me a minute!”
“Darling I gave you five.”
Her face drops a bit as she lets out a soft, “oh, sorry about that-I’ve just been busy.”
“With what,” Mycroft questions as he careful navigates the room to be closer to his intended. Throughout their relationship he had know _____ to throw herself fully into everything that she does but this was a new level.
“Physics, more specifically Quantum mechanics,” ______ says without a beat before tossing the book at hand on the floor and then wildly looking around for another.
Looking very surprised and intrigued Mycroft can’t help but pose, “why? I thought your company was more focused on more of a medical sector. ”
_______ stops her search for whatever she was searching for to regard Mycroft fully with a big smile.
“Well we go a partnership with S.H.I.E.L.D last month so everyone is scrambling to get the basics down so we can be more useful,” ____ says brightly, “It’s an amazing thing! We get access to more advance technology than we could ever dream of in exchange for making pharmaceuticals for their agents.”
Considering how last year _____ was beginning to feel in a rut with her job and thinking of quitting this was a good turnabout. Sure, the mess and ____’s need to get everything done in record time as a bit tiresome however, Mycroft was supportive.
They meet by the trash bin overflowing with discarded notes to hug when Mycroft gives a deep inhale to take in _____only to nearly cough into her shoulder.
“______ when was the last time you bathed?” Mycroft accuses as he breaks away to catch his breath.
______ understandably looks hurt until she can’t seem to recall herself. She pauses trying to defend herself only to look more unsure every time she opened her mouth.
Face losing its color quickly before being replaced with bright red _____ confesses, “It may have been a week or two…we’ve had the month off to try and take this test proving we understand this enough to start working with them.”
Horrified Mycroft takes _____ by the hand, “that’s it-shower. Now.”
“The only ‘but’ I want to see is yours in the shower post haste,” Mycroft says firmly dragging her out of her office and down the hall toward the bedroom.
For her part ____ is coming along willingly but now drawn out of her ‘learning’ trance she’s more aware of what she’s been missing since his trip east. “Is that the only thing you want to do with my butt? See it in the shower?”
“Believe me, your arse will most certainly get its due attention after we get it clean,” Mycroft promises and he ushers her into the marble bathroom and locks the door.
