BBC Sherlock 221b drabble: Pg+ - Lestrade/Mycroft, Lestrade/Sherlock

A third 221B drabble as a followup to the previous two here

Thank you [livejournal.com profile] blooms84 for making me unable to think about anything else.
:P


Rating: Pg+
Pairings: Lestrade/Mycroft, Lestrade/Sherlock, a hint of implied Mycroft/Lestrade/Sherlock
Word Count: 221 (the last word starting with B)
Title: The Art of Making Compromises


They were never going to share nicely.

Lestrade had known that from the beginning, but he had allowed them to indulge in the pretence of setting up a series of ground rules and a timetable and what were they thinking?

He had enjoyed their negotiations with the amusement and detachment of someone only marginally involved while he sipped the fine tea Mycroft had brewed for them. It was so good it would have been a waste to let it cool in its cup like the other two were doing.

He studied the overtly hostile way Sherlock was staring at his brother, then took in the apparent calm Mycroft manifested as he proposed alternate Wednesdays.

Could this situation become any more complicated? A ridiculous question, the answer was ‘of course’. As soon as Sherlock decided he didn’t agree on one of the points, or when Mycroft lost his patience with them. Perhaps even before that, when Lestrade decided to follow his egoistical whims, for a change.

Lestrade rolled his eyes at the arguing duo, put down his cup and saucer and got to his feet. He undid the cuffs of his shirt and left the room, undressing as he went upstairs.

When Sherlock and Mycroft noticed his absence they stopped quarrelling and followed him upstairs.

Their perfect compromise waited in the bedroom.

Perfect compromise, INDEED!!! *kisses you for your filthy brilliance*
There will surely be some horrifying, violent power plays in that bedroom, but my complete faith in Greg's ability to handle the two of them makes me believe everyone will be gloriously happy and satisfied to the Nth degree in the end.
And when John comes home . . . well . . . he can bandage up any bruises, cuts, and bite marks that need taking care of . . . .
*more kisses*
Clearly, I do not have enough urgent work to do because I am now trying a pwp kind of based on one of my favorite songs . . . you are a very bad influence, sweetheart.
