Odds do attract (Mystrade)

Innocence is bliss

A little boy gently pushes himself back and forth with his tippy toes on the little swing set,his curly brown locks bouncing ever so slightly in rhythm with the slow high pitched creak of the rusty old thing. He held a large book in his small, delicate hands, one that appears much to large and difficult for a child of his age. Great expectations by Charles Dickens. The boy wore a clean, crisp button down shirt with formal pants, a black belt struggling to keep the oversized pants on his tiny hips. He dressed extremely well for such a young child but it wasn't his classy appearance nor his obvious intelligence that captured the lost mans wandering eyes, it was the gleam in the boys glorious green orbs. Adventure, love, fear, excitement all flashed around his eyes like gold fireflies, dancing around each other. It was almost as if the man could see the boys mind whizzing around frantically as he loses himself in his make believe world.
"Mycroft?" A deep baritone voice claws his stumbling mind back to the bustling streets of London. Mycroft looks away from the intriguing boy to stare into the frosty eyes of his younger brother.
"Sherlock......What are you doing here?" Distracted and confused, Mycroft questions without even attempting to think about the situation which he could've and would normally have deducted in 5 seconds.
"I don't usually care,Mycroft but you look terrible. Are you feeling alright?." The dark haired man tried to sound somewhat caring but only achieved a monotone slur. To this the government man raised a perfect eyebrow, standing slightly straighter as if to try and redeem himself.
"I would say you were worried, brother mine. But as I know you to well, I'd instead say you wanted something from me" Boredom laced the air around Mycroft as he leant against his umbrella nonchalantly.
"Right, OK then......... I was just coming to see If you had those files on that Bakker girl. It seems the case is worthier than I first thought, but only just." Sherlock shakes off the odd feeling he has about Mycroft strange behaviour and decides to ask Johns opinion on it later. After a few more minutes of the two exchanging words about the case the two brothers went their separate   ways.

(Sherlock's P.O.V)

"It's been 3 hours Sherlock! Enough is enough!" John grumbled loudly gesturing at the new experiment I was conducting in our living room, it was about how certain high pitched noises affected certain life forms and their productivity.
"But I still have 20 more life forms to observe, John!" I jumped in excitement, completely ignoring the death stare I was receiving from the short sandy haired man.
"William Sherlock Scott Holmes! Turn that bloody thing off right. This. Second." After living with John for such a long time I knew that this voice was not one to be reckoned with so I sulkily packed up my experiment and threw my body onto my armchair with a dramatic huff.
"What am I to do now, John?!" I whined childishly.
"How about that Bakker case, you said something about it earlier but I didn't really catch on." My companion questioned absentmindedly whilst reading his newspaper with far more interest than I thought fair. But suddenly I remember Mycrofts strange behaviour earlier and got quite giddy.
"Ah, I actually needed to talk to you about something John! So today I went to grab those files off of my insufferable brother" John interrupted with an amused snort, I can only assume it was because I referred to my brother as insufferable although he really is. "He looked rather upset. Which as you know is quite wrong because Mycroft Holmes has even less of a heart than myself. What do think?" I was utterly confused, a horrible feeling I must say.
"Well perhaps he just felt unwell, it does happen you know." The doctor attempted but I wasn't having it.
"No, no! John you don't understand! I've never seen him like this, it's annoying" he could be so dim witted sometimes
"And here I though you cared. I'll take a look at him tomorrow, OK?" He mumbled in defeat. I agreed, then entered my mind palace to try and figure this out. I really did hate no knowing!
