Our New Life Together

Chapter 07 : A Play Date ( Part III )

Third Person's P. O. V :

On one raining day in London, a group of five people consisting three older boys accompanying two younger boys were on their way to the ice cream parlor to have dessert. William and Sherlock were holding hands together while, talking with one another and walking close to each other. Behind them were the two older boys who were Albert and Sebastian. Meanwhile, the person behind them was Mycroft, Sebastian and Albert were chatting with one another while, walking side by side. Mycroft on the other hand, was rather not in a good mood compared to earlier he was enjoying himself that is until a certain "someone" just had to show up in front of them and ruined the moment. Well a moment between him and a certain brunette that is. However, the chance to make it up to Albert has been completely ruined.

( A / N 📝 : Someone's eating vinegar. It's a Chinese idiom for someone being jealous. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not Chinese, I just really like reading some Chinese BL Novels. )

Earlier this day, Mycroft had the perfect plan to get closer to Albert however, Albert completely ignored him the entire time. Albert's sole attention were on the two younger boys. Like for example, during the play, he wanted to sit next to Albert but, Albert told him to sit next to Sherlock instead and he will sit next to William. Another example is during their visit to the arcade, Albert purposely didn't play any of the games there and just happily took pictures of the boys while, the boys were happily playing each game in the arcade together. He actually wanted to play a game with Albert but, was just completely ignored. Another is during their dinner awhile ago, he wanted to talk to Albert if they could go out together after this but instead of that happening, Albert immediately asked the boys if they were having fun and didn't ask him if he was enjoying the day as well.

And now, he was busy talking to their Family's scholar. Not even caring about him. Today was definitely not his day. However, the brunette's younger brother noticed his dark and gloomy aura and asked Sherlock if his brother was alright.

"Hey Sherly." William called him.

"Yeah?" He answered.

"I just noticed something. Ever since we left the restaurant, Mycro - nii seemed to be in bad mood." William said to Sherlock in a worried tone. "Is he alright ?" The young Moriarty asked.

So he noticed as well... So I was right about Aniki's sudden change of behaviour earlier... During the entire time, he seemed to be happy but, ever since Sebastian - san came, he's been like that.... The young Holmes said in his mind.

"I don't really know what's wrong with him but, it does make me worry about him. " Sherlock confessed to William in a genuinely worried tone.

Even though, Mycroft makes fun of him most of time, he's still his brother no matter what. Since, his parents are mostly busy due to their businesses and jobs all the time, they usually don't have much time to play with him, it was mostly him and Mycroft around the house. Mycroft always comes home earlier from school to play with him since, he doesn't really have any friends before he met William so, his only playmate is his older brother. Sherlock may not admit it but, he likes it when Mycroft chooses to play with him instead of his school friends. He likes it when Mycroft's by his side. For as long as he can remember it, Mycroft has been the one who has been taking care of him ever since he was little. Mycroft even reads his favorite books to him when he's at home and before going to sleep. His brother annoys him most of the time but, he still loves him none the less.

"Me too." William said to Sherlock.

"Boys." Albert called them.

Once they heard Albert called him, they stopped walking and turned around properly to look at him. He was standing next to Sebastian while, Mycroft was behind them looking all sad and dejected. Meanwhile, Albert was smiling at them happily while, Moran was just looking at Albert with a fond smile on his face.
