Mycroft Plans A Surprise
Mycroft Plans A Surprise
James and Mycroft woke up and showered together and sat at the kitchen table having tea. This was so different for the two of them spending time alone with no distractions. So pleasant. Staying together like this had become comfortable for both men. So relaxing. After cleaning up the dishes they walked out to the garden and sat together enjoying the flowers blooming. It was a lovely morning. Mycroft reached over and squeezed James's left hand and gazed into his eyes. He had been rehearsing this in his mind for a few days now.
"James, I have a special surprise for you, for us actually. I have a secret government mission taking place in Moscow and I don't want to go alone. Simultaneously there is a seminar of mathematicians and scientists meeting to discuss AI and protecting the earth from rogue asteroids among other things. There will be the brightest minds meeting and lots of great discussions. This will be a fortnight and I was wondering if you would want to accompany me? It sounds extremely stimulating for both of us."
"How will we not be recognized?"
"We are both going to having a makeover by the most trusted and talented disguise artists from MI6. When they get done our own mothers wouldn't recognize us. I have plenty of money and we will stay at the finest accommodations and have the best meals. This is something I need to do anyway and I couldn't bear to be separated from you for two weeks. There will be time also for museums, planetariums and night life too if you like. It wouldn't be too much of a hardship to spend two weeks with me, James?"
James hugged Mycroft with tears welling up in his eyes. "Why are you spoiling me so much? Of course I'd accompany you anywhere on earth or in space even."
"I couldn't imagine anyone else I would want to spend a fortnight with that would be more enjoyable. And it will be a great stimulation for the two of us. Quite an adventure. We'll have lots of time alone to do anything you would like. In the meantime I invited a very pleasant friend for dinner tonight so that we can converse in Russian. It will be great practice. I am sure you will find the evening very enjoyable."
James was speechless for a few minutes while he studied Mycroft's face. He could have offered to take anyone along on this trip but Mycroft was choosing him. And planning for stimulating activities while he was busy so he wouldn't be bored as well. James was definitely not used to anyone offering to treat him so special.
"Why are you going through all this trouble just for me?"
"It's because I have come to love you and want to spend time with you. I hate to admit how special you are to me. I can no longer imagine my life without you in it." Mycroft wrapped his arms around James and his eyes misted up.
No one had ever shown James love before or cared enough to make special arrangements just for him. Sure he had friends and had great sex with many lovers but this was different. This was a lover wanting him deeply involved in his life. It made James feel amazing but at the same time deeply terrified. It frightened him to the depths of his very being. Could he trust anyone this much? Could he let anyone into his heart this much?
While James was thinking all this Mycroft was just as terrified and having the same thoughts. The only other person he had trusted with his love was his brother Sherlock and even then he held back. Caring is a weakness he had always tried to convince himself. But was he wrong? Here was the most handsome man in the universe in his arms and he, Mycroft Holmes, was shaken to the core with emotion. They clung to each other and were afraid to let go. As if at any moment it would all end and be just an illusion. They looked into each others eyes and kissed deeply. Neither understood love and emotion well but they knew this was real. What they were both feeling.
Just then Mycroft's cell phone started vibrating and he said "Bullocks."
