100wordsTitle: Tardy
Fandom: Sherlock (Mycroft/Lestrade)
Round #70 – Amnesty Week: Written for 51: Shakespeare II: "For which of my bad parts didst thou first fall in love with me?"
Rating: G
Notes: It has been so long since I tried to write a drabble. It's ridiculous how hard it is to keep it down to 100 words.
Gregory Lestrade is a terrible timekeeper. He's fifteen minutes late to everything. If someone sneaks in late to the department-wide meeting, slouching up the back and hiding from the Commissioner, it's Gregory.
When Gregory ends the stalemate of appreciative glances and asks him to dinner, Mycroft knows he will be late without meaning anything by it. It's simply who he is.
Mycroft walks into the restaurant at precisely 8pm, because punctuality is as much a part of his character as tardiness is part of Gregory's. He's unexpectedly pleased to find Gregory already sitting at a table, toying with a breadstick.
