Sherlock's POV

Entering inside the calm and warm library,I smiled and looked around at all the knowledge that were stored in here. This place have always been my favorite part of the school. No one ever bothered anyone in here. And it was just such a calming place to collect my thoughts and educate myself. So I was glad Lestrade,Molly and Mary wanted to meet here,too.

It wasn't nothing too important,they just wanted to hang out. Our next 2 classes were not happening since there were no teachers to take place of our sick geography teacher,so we had enough time until lunch to just read and study,and chat.

I wanted John to be able to hang with people other than me and not be mocked because he's with 'the freak'. Everyone -except Lestrade- here were people calm and understanding,and they were not too popular,which was even better. Only Lestrade was a bit full of himself and was confident,but he never stopped helping me out whenever I needed,so it was okay. I trusted everyone here.

And John knew Mary anyways,so it was perfectly okay,too. But... I was not afraid to draw the line between them,of course. I knew John was attracted to her before he started to love me,and I knew he still had something for her,deep down.

So,if the time came to it,I wouldn't be afraid to show how he is mine now.

"Hey guys." Calling out to get their attention,I looked at the guys who were circled in a wide table,everyone holding a book or so,chatting and smiling. They rose their gazes to look at me and smiled.

"Oh,Sherlock!" Lestrade spoke,but tried to keep it low so that he won't disturb the studying groups. He slowly gut up from his seat and walked to me,petting my shoulder,and smiled a bit apologetically. I understood what he was sorry for.

"It's okay Lestrade. I am sure he didn't give you much of a choice anyways."

But when I saw his face,I realized that was completely not the case.

"Y-Yeah... About that..."

As I frowned and tensed up due to his words,I felt John reach to my hand calmingly,he seemed to be waiting for Lestrade too.

"What is it Lestrade?" Asking in a dull tone,I met my eyes with Lestrade. Even though he was older than me,He still was shorter. I could see he was getting a bit creeped out and scared,though I didn't do anything about it. I wanted him to spit it out already.

"I... Offered... Him... That..."

I heard John gasp a bit at the words he heard. I was no different. I was shocked at the fact my bro-- Mycroft was actually close enough to him that Lestrade did that for him? I couldn't understand it. But I was not disappointed nor surprised. I knew something was up from the second when I saw how obedient Lestrade was to Mycroft even though in normality he is a ambitious and independent person.

So I decided to push away the betrayed thoughts and actually get to the bottom of their releationship. Plus,I did not want to ruin this time I had with people I cared about,especially John.

"What was in it for you,Lestrade?"

Taken back by my calm tone,he opened his eyes wide and gulped down,turning his head away shyly and rubbed his arm. He hesitated,but when he spoke,I suddenly felt sympathetic.
