Prompt: Mycroft needs Greg's help with something... and Greg doesn't really want to help.
----------------------------------
"Mycroft, what the bloody hell is this for?"
Greg Lestrade would honestly rather be sucked into oblivion than stood there in the state he was in.
"Honestly Gregory, anyone would think you didn't enjoy this."
The pair were both standing in Mycroft's office, dressed from head to foot in... drag. Mycroft was armoured in a floor length pink satin gown with puffed sleeves and a layer of red lipstick over his mouth. Meanwhile, Greg was standing in a baby blue blouse and a black pencil skirt while Anthea was attacking his face with a powder brush.
Mycroft sighed. "Look, I don't want to have to do this either, but it's a matter of national urgency."
Greg scoffed. "National urgency? Detective Inspector Lestrade and Mycroft Holmes dressed in drag is for a matter of national urgency?"
"Stop sulking, Greg."
"I'm not sulking, I-"
"This is what Sherlock does, you're sulking."
"I'M NOT SUL-"
"Anthea, how do I look?" Mycroft interrupted, turning to face his PA with his arms outstretched.
"Ummmm... very... errrrr... pretty, sir." she replied. Anthea turned to a frowning Lestrade. "Come on, give us a twirl, Greg."
He breathed in deeply, before sighing and slowly pivoting in a completely unenthusiastic manner. When his back was turned, Anthea whipped out her Blackberry and poised her phone for a picture.
****** THE FOLLOWING DAY ******
Greg huffed and stretched his back, reclining lazily in his seat. As it was his lunch break, he logged onto Facebook to check what Mycroft was up to.
His notifications were blowing up, so, feeling suspicious, he clicked onto Anthea's profile.
An image of him from the previous night popped up with the caption "#whipped". 146 shares. 3,817 likes. 527 comments.
Greg rubbed his temples slowly before logging off the computer in front of him and dialling a number on his phone.
