5. Secrets out

Sherlock awoke before John and could not help but to stare at his doctor sleeping on his chest. He lent his head down and kissed the top of Johns forehead, making him stir in his sleep.

"Are you awake John?" All Sherlock got in reply to this was a small mumble coming from Johns mouth. Sherlock carefully moved John off his chest and got out of bed to make some tea as he knew how much John liked it.

When he came back into his bedroom with the tea in his hands, John was sitting up by now waiting patiently for Sherlock to come back. He sat next to John handing him the tea as he got comfy and they sat silently drinking, however this was not an awkward silence. It was comforting and no one felt the need to make small talk, just enjoying the company of each other.

"John i was thinking maybe later we could go to a restaurant for dinner, like a da-" Sherlock was cut off by the sound of his phone ringing

"Hello Sherlock Holmes speaking", John recognized the voice on the other end of the phone as Greg Lestrade's voice and knew that there was a follow up on yesterdays case," yep we will be there in under an hour, goodbye"

Sherlock hung up the phone and jumped out of bed, a massive grin plastered on his face "John go get ready we have business to do!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As they stepped out of the cab, Sherlock grabbed Johns hand and dragged him inside Scotland Yard, darting to Lestrade's office. Sherlock must have forgot that no one knew they were going out yet, only assumed it so when he knocked on Greg's office door, he turned to look down the corridor and saw the whole of Scotland Yards team staring at the couple, mouths wide open in shock.

Lestrade opened the door before Sherlock had the chance to remove grip of Johns hand and he too joined the group of shocked people as his jaw dropped. "Just let us in your office Graham", Sherlock said, rolling his eyes as he pushed past him.

"Its Greg, you should know this by now." He shut the door and took a seat in his chair, opposite where Sherlock and John were sitting, same shocked expression on his face from before.

"So when did you two become a er-"

"Just tell us the follow up on yesterdays case please" Sherlock was getting irritated now. As much as he was a drama queen who secretly loved attention, he did not like the fact that this attention was also on John as he knew how uncomfortable it made him.

"Right yes the case sorry. We managed to catch who did it and he confessed to his crimes, everything you said matched the situation perfectly. We also found the weapon in The Thames after he admitted that to us, so well done for solving another case. We still do not know what the note in his pocket was for but we assume it was just to scare you Sherlock as he knew you would investigate the body."

Suddenly Lestrade's office door opened and Greg smiled as whoever it was stepped into the room shutting the door behind him. Both Sherlock and John swiveled their heads around and locked eyes with the man in the room.

"Hello brother mine." Mycroft sat down in the only available chair in the room next to Greg.

"What are you doing here Mycroft, shouldn't you be working out" Sherlock enjoyed throwing a bit of shade on his brother and even though he will never admit it, he does secretly have a soft spot for him, just as Mycroft has a soft spot for Sherlock.

"I came to see Greg thank you very much." He smiled at him and then lent over as Lestrade whispered something in his ear. Mycroft looked up at John and his brother and simply said "i speak for everyone when i say i saw this coming."

"Oh you cant say much Mycroft." As much as Sherlock acted like he was annoyed at his brother, he laughed slightly at the comment and took Johns hand in his under the table.

"I say to celebrate we should all go away for the weekend, take a little break from work and hang out." Sherlock could not believe what was coming out of his brothers mouth. Mycroft had never wanted to hang out with anyone except for Lestrade and now he wanted to spend a weekend with his brother and his brothers boyfriend. In the time it had taken Sherlock to process this, Mycroft had used Gregs laptop and booked four flight tickets to Brussels for that Friday,"Right on Friday be at the airport for 4am, our flight is at 6am and we will return home on sunday around lunchtime, is everyone up for that?"

Sherlock went to speak but John cut him off, taking control,"We will be there!" A groan left Sherlocks mouth knowing there was no backing down from this .

"Great, see you two then."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Do we have to go John." Sherlock had been begging John to not go all day and he wasnt having any of it.

"Yes Sherlock it will be nice, we have never gone on holiday together and it will be nice to spend more time with Mycroft and Lestrade."John yawned as he said this, he could feel himself getting tired but did not want to move off the sofa, he just wanted to stay cuddled up with Sherlock.

"These stupid idiots don't know any of the answer to the questions why are they even on the blimming show!" John should have known that it would be a bad idea to get Sherlock into crappy telly, especially The Chase,"Like seriously that answer is SO obvious i wonder how nice it is for them having normal brains it must be so relaxing"

Sherlock looked down at John as it had gone very quiet and just as he thought, John was asleep on his shoulder looking absolutely adorable. He could not help but to take a photo of his doctor, he wanted to cherish this memory forever plus he knew it would make a funny photo to show Mycroft and Lestrade on their holiday this weekend.

He cuddled up closer to John and felt himself growing more tired as the show went on so he turned it off and rested his head on Johns. In a matter of minutes, Sherlock too was asleep and the flat went silent.
