Late nights, early mornings

Coming home

Greg is released from the hospital a few days later and Myc has yet to leave his side for more than ten minutes. Greg finds it endearing but he's a bit worried of how Myc is getting work done. He walks into his apartment and sighs, glad to be home. He rubs his eyes with his right arm, his left in a sling.

"Are you hungry?" Myc asks, closing the front door and walking into the kitchen.

"I'm good, thanks Myc. Right now I just wanna take a shower" Greg says as he heads to the bathroom, he has the smell of hospital all over him and just wants to get it off, he hates that smell. He's been in too many hospital rooms to count and every time the smell feels like it's suffocating him. He turns on the water and starts to undress, carefully taking off his shirt, hissing when he moves his shoulder the wrong way, pulling on the stitches.

The pain quickly fades and he looks in the mirror, running his palm against his chin and cheeks, feeling the stubble. He couldn't shave in the hospital and he doesn't mind the way it looks, so he decides to keep it. He takes a hour to shower, way longer than usual since he had to be careful with his arm.

He steps out of the shower and carefully puts on his bathrobe, trying (and failing) to tie it correctly. He walks out of the shower and smiles at Myc who's jaw practically drops.

Greg smirks as Myc walks towards him. Greg pulls Myc in with his free arm and kisses him, hard. Myc smiles and laughs slightly in the kiss, his hands running down Gregs chest. He pulls away, still smiling as he ties Gregs robe.

"If you dress like that again I'll end up shagging you where you stand" Myc whispers and Greg shudders slightly, smirking.

"You're saying that like I'll mind" Greg says as he pecks Mycs lips. Myc giggles a little, Gregs stubble tickling him a little. Greg kisses his cheek. "Why don't you just take me to bed" Greg says, yawning deeply. Myc smiles affectionately.

"Alright darling, off to bed with you" He says. patting gregs butt as the walk to the bedroom.

When they get into the bedroom Greg puts on a pair of plaid boxers, takes off his robe, Mycroft helps slide it off so he doesn't hurt his shoulder. He pulls back the covers and lays down, swaddling himself in blankets. Myc kisses his forehead.

"Rest up Gregory" Myc whispers "do you want me to stay?" He asks, and Greg nods.

"If you want" He knows Myc wants to stay and keep an eye on him but wants to give him the option to go.

"Of course darling" Myc says sitting at the foot of the bed.

It doesn't take long for Greg to fall asleep, Myc stays where he is until he does. When gregs breathing evens out he heads into the kitchen to make Greg food for when he wakes up.

Greg wakes up two hours later, hearing Myc talking to someone on the phone. He can hear muffled yelling and some swearing as he pads to the kitchen, finding cooked lasagna. He cuts himself a slice, putting it on a plate and sits down on the couch in the living room.

Myc walks into the living room and smiles at Greg, his smile quickly fades and he hisses something out in German. He places his hand gregs good shoulder, causing Greg to smile. He smiles down at him, squeezing his shoulder lightly as he starts to explain something to the other person in German, Greg understands a few things but not a lot. He just starts eating and listens.

After fifteen minutes of Mycroft explaining, rolling his eyes and groaning he hangs up the phone. "Sorry about that Gregory" Myc says, sitting next to Greg.

"It's all good Myc, I know you can't spend all day focusing just on me" Greg says leaning into Mycs side and smiling when Myc wraps an arm around him.

Myc kisses Gregs forehead "I wish I could darling, you mean so much to me" he whispers and Greg smiles and kisses Mycroft softly.

"You mean so much to me too, and I appreciate everything you've done for me, but if you do have to go back to work I understand" Greg whispers, putting his plate on the table

"I do have to go back to the office tomorrow, but let's just enjoy the now" Myc says running his hand through gregs hair. Greg nods and snuggles closer to Myc. Myc kisses his forehead, "I love you Gregory..." he whispers, barely audible

"I love you too Mycroft..." Greg whispers back.
