The Third Holmes (𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘁 𝘅 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗬/𝗡)

CHAPTER 7

Y/N walked into his older brother's flat since the door was left unlocked. Y/N then can hear all the commotion from outside and he can already guess what it's about.

"The two of them are probably at it again." Y/N murmered.

Y/N then saw his older brother, Mycroft's back and glanced above his shoulder to see the situation. Y/N then saw his other older brother, Sherlock, lying on the floor, clearly being hit by a paint bullet by Mycroft.

"SHERLOOOOOOCK! PLEASE STAY WITH ME!" John exclaimed.

Sherlock then sat up from the floor, his hand on his forehead. "Ouch!"

"Huh? What the?" John said confused.

Y/N sighed. "You guys should stop doing this, you know."

"HA HA HA HA! Y/N's right! That makes it 673:0 for me, Sherly! When are you going to finally let me have the taste of being the loser?" Mycroft taunted Sherlock.

"Damn you, big brother. Go to hell!" Sherlock gritted out.

Y/N just shook his head in disappointment at his two older brothers.

Y/N then turned to his older brother's flatmate who looked like was still trying to process what happened. "I apologize on their behalf if they worried you, John. That's just the way they are, man children."

John looked surprised when he saw Y/N. "You're also here, Y/N-San? It's alright..."

John then turned his attention to Sherlock with wide eyes. "H-he's you and Y/N's brother!?"

"Who else could he be!? It's Mycroft!" Sherlock grumbled in annoyance.

Y/N chuckled at that.

Mycroft then began to show off the gun that he brought. "Brilliant pistol, don't you think, Sherly? You need to only turn the barrel, and it'll shoot paint instead of bullets! Jealous?"

"I don't care!! Now get lost!!" Sherlock exclaimed.

"Oh, come on Sherly. We just got here." Y/N said with a cheeky grin.

"I don't care, you leave as well, Y/N!" Sherlock said with an irate expression.

"Aw, but this is only the time that the three of us get to bond together," Y/N said enthusiastically.

"Y/N's right, let's all have a cup of tea," Mycroft said as he nodded in agreement.

Y/N then clapped his hands together, excitement in his eyes as Sherlock just sighed in defeat.

When the landlady served them their cup of tea, Mycroft thanked her as a courtesy. "Thank you, Miss Hudson."

Y/N then turned to the woman with a warm smile. "Thank you as well, Miss Hudson-San."

"M-my pleasure. It's been so long." Miss Hudson said with a bashful expression.

Y/N then saw his older brother stand up and turned his attention to Sherlock's flatmate. "Allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Sherlock and Y/N's older brother, Mycroft Holmes. Thank you for taking care of Sherlock."

John then said as he glanced at the three of them. "There's no need. So the three of you are siblings?"

Y/N chuckled at that. "Isn't that not obvious?"

"Pardon me, it's just that you and Y/N speak proper English, completely different from Sherlock's and both of your behaviors differ fully as well," John said to Mycroft and Y/N.

Y/N scoffed at that. "I would like to inform you, John, that I am not always posh like Mycroft. It just depends on my mood."

"I apologize, Y/N-San. I didn't mean to offend." John said with an apologetic expression.
