Mycroft never expected to fall in love with anyone, let alone an angel. And he definitely didn't expect to fall in love with an angel in the form of an unassuming Detective Inspector. But from the minute he saw him, Mycroft knew there was something different about this man.
It all began back when his little brother was an addict who loved nothing more than to insult any person he came across and cause as much trouble as possible. But on this particular day, a silver-haired forty-something Detective Inspector by the name of Lestrade, decided to listen to the high, speedy deductions of this unknown addict.
Mycroft had been very impressed by what he saw on the CCTV footage and it made him curious about the DI. Very curious. From then on, he decided to watch more footage to see how often Sherlock would go to crime scenes and if the DI would listen. And each time he did, even if he didn't let the young man anywhere near the crime scene.
After receiving a phone call from said Detective Inspector and an offer to let Sherlock assist on cases, Mycroft put the plans into motion to ensure his brother's recovery. Obviously this was much to Sherlock's disgust and refusal of his older brother's help, but he went anyway and four months later, the young man was clean and ready to work cases.
Of course, Sherlock was never an easy person to talk to or work with, but despite all this, DI Lestrade let him work cases anyway. This just intrigued Mycroft even more than before.
This continued for six months before Demon and Angel finally met on a crime scene one day. Obviously, Mycroft had already deduced that the DI was an angel but what he didn't deduce, was just how well they'd hit it off.
“You looking for Sherlock?” The DI asked with a weary sigh.
“As a matter of fact I am, Detective Inspector Lestrade.” Mycroft replied with a slight smile.
“Well, I'm afraid he's already buggered off. Has he … done something wrong?” Lestrade asked, glancing over at the government issue car.
“Not recently. To tell the truth, Detective Inspector, I wondered if we could talk about Sherlock.”
“Sure, what do ya wanna know?”
“In private, if you don't mind.” Mycroft replied, pointing his umbrella at his car.
“Alright.” Lestrade agreed, knowing that it wasn't a suggestion so much as an order.

“What can you tell me about Sherlock?”
“He's bloody brilliant. Sometimes he has the social graces of a monkey but, he's a bright lad. Truly brilliant mind he has.”
“Of course.”
“If you don't mind me asking, if he's not in any trouble then why's a government operative asking questions about him?”
Mycroft smirked to himself, clearly this man wasn't a complete idiot.
“We are somewhat acquainted .”
“You mean with you being his brother?”
“Excuse me?” Mycroft actually gasped in surprise.
