158. The third Christmas
There is a solution to everything, and the reason why Lestrade is angry with McCroft is because he concealed everything about the case and did not give him a suitable answer, which is completely inconsistent with Lestrade's attitude towards work.
Mycroft knew what Reestrade wanted, and it was nothing more than a real answer.
In fact, this matter is not a very difficult thing in general, but it is just an agent who wants to defect with important information, and it is also the best way to deal with it, which is not the result that Mycroft wanted at the beginning, and it can only be blamed for the mistakes at the time that made them lose the trace of this person, and after they started, they were unable to deal with it in time because there were more people around at that time.
The director finally let the whole case pass through the hands of Scotland Yard, which sparked an argument between him and Lestrade.
After Mycroft settled everything in advance, he finally had a chance to please the lover who had been saying for three days in a row, "Mr. Mycroft, go slowly, don't send it", he couldn't hold hands or kiss for these three days, and even talked to Lestrade rarely said to him, such days had a feeling of living like years for Mycroft, and he also knew that this was a kind of oppression from Lestrade, forcing him to tell him what he wanted to know.
So on the fourth day, in the car where McCroft was taking Lestrade home, he handed him a report and told him that he could only read it in the car.
It contains a full explanation of what happened, as well as the cause of death and the final treatment.
"Gray, you've got everything you want to know."
It is impossible for Mycroft to deceive Lestrade, it should be said that Mycroft may be deceived by anyone, but there is no Lestrade's name in it, especially after they have established a relationship, even white lies are gone.
Lestrade looked through the information in his hand as fast as he could, a traitorous agent with a lot of important information in his hand, and if he was allowed to escape from England, it would be ruined, so Mycrogh asked his men to make a corresponding strategy, arresting or killing people.
"What happened to his body?"
This is not stated in the text.
"It has been returned to his family, and we have found out that his family did not know about his rebellion, and he did not leave any documents that could record the news, etc., and MI5 has preserved his last reputation."
This is what Mycroft often does, and in his opinion the mutiny is a one-man business, and if their agents had not been involved with his own family, he would be willing to sue his family that their son, husband, and even father were heroic sacrifices for the country, and that he was a rare good man.
But if the mutineers leave something important to their families, then even Mycroft will have to say sorry.
Lestrade closed the text, "It's as cruel as ever, Mike." ”
Mycroft took Wen Jiàn and put it aside, and then moved to Lestrade's side and said, "Sometimes the necessary sacrifice is indispensable, and he is already an adult who needs to pay for what he has done." ”
Lestrade let out a chuckle, well, Mycroft always had a way to beat him.
Lestrade looked at the man, sitting in different positions and thinking about different things, Mycroft was in power, he could represent the British government, so whatever he did, he had to think of the interests of the whole country, the interests of the government. And he, Greg Lestrade, is a police officer, and what he wants to protect is ordinary people.
For such a person in power, he has actually given his greatest mercy, he has given these traitors a good identity, and has not let their families stare at the families of traitors for a lifetime.
What a gentle, but indifferent man.
"Can that forgive me?"
Mycroft's eyes were full of anticipation, and Lestrade smiled helplessly, then raised the glass between them and the driver, and he pulled McCroft's tie and bit it down on his mouth......
"Don't take it as an example."
"Yes, my sir."
Mycrof Holmes and Greg Lestrade have had Christmases many times in their lives, and he remembers every Christmas, but the most meaningful is not only the Christmas they spent together after they met, but the third Christmas Eve is just as meaningful.
Because that year, Christmas 2007, they confirmed the relationship.
Lovers' relationships.
The relationship made their Christmas a little different, but there was no difference, the two of them were super at the end of November, and when they were reconciled, Mycroft ran out on another mission, and by the time he came back, it was already the middle of December.
For Christmas, Mycroft has already made arrangements, he hopes that he can have a romantic Christmas with Lestrade, they will be like the first Christmas, drinking red wine in the moonlight, and dancing, Lestrade has always been romantic, but he is just submerged in his body by time.
Maybe they could even have a romantic evening, and he was sure that the little Lestrades would not bother him at such times.
Of course, he could not have revealed his ambitions before the Lestrades had even invited him.
After thinking about Mycroft's Christmas invitation, Lestrade finally nodded in agreement, and Mycroft said that one thing that made Lestrade very excited was that he could have a huge Christmas tree in his home.
They never bought a giant Christmas tree because they couldn't put it in the house.
Because Christmas trees are usually small, bears often can't have fun when they want to dress up, and there is no way to tell them that they are more numerous.
In addition to this, McCroft said that he would invite their Diogenes chef in advance to make dessert for the two days, and that their kitchen was large enough for Lestrade and Hannibal to turn around.
By the time Lestrade told the news to their bear boys, Hannibal and Will, as well as Harry, who had become clear to adults, knew what their dearest Uncle McCroft was up to.
Everyone was accustomed to looking at Harry, and Harry's mind was spinning fast, thinking about the pros and cons of spending Christmas at the McCroft house.
The little angel and the little devil were arguing in his mind, and he simply calculated that Mr. McCroft hadn't lived in their house for a long time, so Harry shrugged his shoulders and gave Mr. McCroft a chance on Christmas face.
"Dad, we're looking forward to spending Christmas at Mr. McCroft's house!"
Hannibal raised his eyebrows when he heard Harry agree, and said to himself, Harry, this is a change of sex?
However, since the little Reistrade had no opinion, it was a foregone conclusion that they would spend Christmas Eve and Christmas with McCroft.
Sherlock originally thought that he would resist and refuse to spend Christmas with them, but how could he be the opponent of the little Lestrades, counting Will's nine imps, you blocked Sherlock's back road with a word.
No matter how Sherlock gritted his teeth, the bears also found his shortcomings, whether to move out of the house or go to Mycroft's house for the annual Christmas, Sherlock still knows how to choose.
The little demons of the Lestrade family knew that they could not let go of their research on magic or Raven, so they grabbed him and exploited this weakness.
The hateful thing is that Sherlock really can only say yes.
On Christmas Eve morning, the Lestrade family, along with Sherlock and Will, drove to McCroft's villa, which they couldn't be more familiar with. Since he was going to stay here for a day or two nights, Mycroft had his part-time staff clean the room early, so that it would be easier for the little Lestrades to move in.
Little Reistrade didn't be polite to McCroft after he came, they found their own room according to the previous way of staying, and McCroft just thought that if he and Reestrade married in the future, they could take them all to their villa, so they didn't make any adjustments to the room where the bear children lived at that time, what they were like before they moved and what they are now.
Even the entertainment equipment in the back garden is still there.
Mycroft stood in front of the door waiting for his lover, and Lestrade was the last, he didn't bring much with him, but a festive sweater was a must-have on a day like Christmas.
When he saw Mycroft waiting at the door, he smiled, he stopped and looked at Mycroft and said, "Hi, Mike." ”
Mycroft took a step in Lestrade's direction, "My dear, if I could, I would like to hear a more intimate address from your mouth. ”
A more intimate salutation?!
“My……”
Lestrade took a step forward as well, resting his head on Mycrof's head and whispering the closest nickname between them, and Mycroft looked into Lestrade's eyes and suddenly smiled. I don't know why, at this moment he feels very happy, this is probably really what people call love.
“Mylove.”
They stood in front of the door and kissed, not a romantic and passionate French kiss, just an ordinary kiss, lip to lip.
Little Leestrade was peeking at the window, Raven covered her mouth, looking happy, Harry's fists clenched and released, and finally sighed Forget it, it looks like their Dad likes this man, anyway, it's Christmas Eve, he needs a little rest, doesn't he?
"It looks like we're being watched."
Mycroft whispered this in Lestrade's ear, and Lestrade looked out of his spare eye at the nearest window, and sure enough, the bears and children were all staring at them. Lestrade sighed, when did their bear child have an extra problem peeking at Dad's affection.
"It's all your fault, Mycrof."
"I just can't help it."
I can't help it, yes, of course I can't help it, no one can still hold it in the face of such a delicious lover. However, there is nothing wrong with such intimacy in front of children, and Lestrade has also been like this since childhood, and the affection of "parents" will affect children's correct understanding of the family. Lestrade had thought before that it would be fine if he had always been single, but if he found a suitable partner, he would only show affection in front of his children, and other quarrels would not be shown in front of them.
After Lestrade entered the gate of the villa, Raven flew up and hugged Lestrade's legs, raised her head and asked excitedly, "Daddy, are you kissing Mycro?" ”
"Well...... Yes. ”
Raven was very happy when she heard this answer, she was about to climb up with her legs, and was immediately picked up by Raistrade.
“Daddy! Daddy! I'm going to kiss it too! ”
Lestrade fulfilled this wish of their little princess, and it should be said that no matter what kind of wish Raven had, Lestrade and little Restrode would be satisfied.
Little Raven put her arms around Reestrade's neck and screamed, looking like she didn't know how happy she was.
Christmas Eve began like this, Harold rarely gave up his computer and used his mobile phone to tinker with something, and at the end of the year, the mysterious boss also began to calculate the profits of the year, but the main thing was that he linked the machine to his mobile phone, and he was teaching it something according to Hannibal.
Loki was a little sleepy today, so he lay on the couch on the couch with an oversized doll in his arms and watched TV and Sherlock arguing with the TV.
He yawned a lot and said to his brother, "Sherlock looks stupid now!" ”
Thor just looked silly and grinned, his hand running through Loki's growing hair, "Brother, Sherlock is just bored. ”
No way, of course Sherlock is bored, the bears are busy with their own business, Tony is chasing Merlin and asking Merlin to use magic to play with his snow, Hannibal and Will are reading quietly over there, Harry is coaxing Raven to play with her, and McCroft, who can usually quarrel with him, is in the kitchen, saying that the good thing is to give Lestrade a hand, and the bad thing is to take advantage of it, and show affection by the way.
Sherlock pouted, and the Christmas TV was boring!
"When did Sherlock and the TV fight start to come about?"
Hearing Sherlock correcting a mistake on TV outside, Lestrade couldn't laugh or cry, and only Sherlock, who never played his cards according to common sense, could do such a thing.
"Probably when he found out that his classmates were all goldfish, and by the way, he couldn't win against me."
McCroft said it very lightly, his brother had been like this since he was a child, and he was used to it.
Lestrade poked his head out of the kitchen and looked at the fact that their Loki was already showing impatience, who knew if Loki would blow up Mycroft's villa if it went on like this.
"Go play chess with Sherlock, or fight him, you are no longer needed here!"
When Mycroft was kicked out of the kitchen, he thought to himself that there were many disadvantages to his brother's guardian being his lover, such as the fact that lovers sometimes favored Sherlock, the bear child.
Sherlock watched his brother come out of the kitchen and smiled, "Looks like you've been kicked out, dead fat." ”
Mycroft grinds his teeth, and the bear child can't stop even at Christmas, and it seems that he can't show his brother's authority without education.
By the time Lestrade was ready for the Christmas Eve dinner, Sherlock was going to pounce on his brother.
As for the Christmas tree, this time it was really satisfying for the little Reistrids, each of whom had a great place to dress up as he wanted, just while looking at the tree...... It can only be described as a strange shape.
The Christmas presents had all been piled up under the Christmas tree, and with the anticipation of Christmas, the little Lestrades went in to dream, and by the way, their goodnight kiss from Dad.
After putting all the little Lestrade to bed, Lestrade returned to the hall, where Mycroft was waiting for him.
All the lights in the hall were turned off, except for the candle that McCroft had just lit, and Lestrade looked at his lover and said what he was going to do, only to see McCroft come to him with two glasses of red wine.
"So?"
"Dear Gray, Christmas Eve always has to be a little romantic."
Lestrade laughed, when did Mycroft start to be so romantic, and he took the glass of red wine from Mycroft's hand.
"Third Christmas, dear Gray, this is the third Christmas we've spent together."
In the blink of an eye, it was already the third Christmas, and Lestrade looked at the man in front of him, and the day they met seemed to be yesterday, but he didn't expect that it had been three years. On the day of their acquaintance, Mycroft was tall and arrogant, and it only took a glance to tell that he was the brother of the little bastard Sherlock, after all, he was so underwhelmed. But in comparison, at that time, Mycroft was better than the little bastard, I don't know a little bit. Lestrade had seen Mycroft vulnerable, when the little bastard had almost killed himself, when he was injured and weak, in short, he had seen all of Mycroft.
"The third is not the last, am I right?"
Lestrade said playfully.
"It will never be the last."
There was a crisp sound from their glasses colliding.
When the wine was introduced, Mycroft played an elegant tune, and he came to Lestrade and stretched out his hand and said, "Gray, don't you know if I have the honor of inviting you to dance?" ”
Dance, the two of them have never danced, not once.
Lestrade placed his hand in Mycroft's hand.
"Okay, I won't dance women's steps."
In the end, no one jumped the women's step, and Mycroft was so smart that he quickly changed the women's step and combined him with the men's step, so that whoever jumped had no problem.
The moonlight poured in through the window, and Lestrade and Mycroft danced under the moonlight, and no one dared to say that they were not in love.
Mycroft thinks he's heard a promise from Lestrade that this Christmas will never be the last, which means they'll go on like this until ...... Until one of them went to another world.
Mycroft hugged Lestrade tightly, he had never said I love you to Lestrade, but now he wanted to say it.
"I love you, Greg Lestrade."
"I love you too, Mycrof Holmes."
The love that I had never thought about before, and the love that I had not hoped for had all befallen Mycroft at this time, and Mycroft had also thought that if there was no Lestrade in this world, he wouldn't know what □□ love was.
Mycroft was materialist though. But at this time he thought that Greg Lestrade must be God's angel left behind on earth, oh, and this statement is somewhat ...... It's boring, very unkind of Sherlock Holmes, but he still wants to say it.
If Lestrade does not save zài...... What would that look like?
He, Sherlock, and the bear children of the Lestrades.
That night the two of them did everything that had to be done, and Mycroft was surprisingly strong in his desire for possession today, and the next day when Lestrade got out of bed, he looked in the mirror at the kiss/mark on his neck and gritted his teeth, which could not be erased for a while.
"Mycroft Holmes!"
The unexpected Lestrade wants to counterattack even stronger! He didn't want to be eaten to death by Mycroft, wouldn't there be no place to turn over!
So on Christmas morning, Lestrade wrote himself an advance New Year's wish, he must counterattack! If he doesn't ask for back what Mycroft has done, he will marry Mycroft!
By the way, Lestrade is going to do whatever it takes, as long as he can get the sovereignty back!
Lestrade has made a big decision, who calls him a man, why is he always below! Okay, okay, Mycroft's technique is indeed improving, but it doesn't have much to do with up and down, does it! Unbeknownst to Lestrade, this desire really led him to become Greg Lestrade Holmes.
