3. “You know, I never thought I’d be sleeping on Mycroft Holmes couch.” Greg said as he toed off his shoes and socks from where he lay on the couch.

“I never thought I’d be sleeping on Mycroft Holmes floor, yet here I am.” Mycroft replied, sitting in front of the couch on the floor. Greg chuckles heartily and Mycroft smiles to himself leaning back on the couch to look over at his face.

“You did say Sherlock is always stealing your stuff. It’s just unfortunately your bed this time.” Greg jokes and laughs harder, Mycroft chuckles bitterly.

“Unfortunately..” Mycroft says darkly already planning revenge and that just makes Greg laugh harder.

“When do you think the power will come back on?” Greg asks after his laughter has died down.

“Still a few hours, three I’d say. You can go to sleep if you’d like I can turn everything off after, you don’t have to stay up.” Mycroft offers tilting his head so it’s against Greg’s thigh

“Nah, I want to. Besides I have to keep you up then knock you out after.” Greg replies fondly placing his hand in Mycroft’s hair.
