Gregory Lestrade

Just saw that you were following me, wondered what's up.

Sun, 04 Mar 2012 08:47:11 -0500

Oh. I just click the little plus every time I see a new person on that list on the right hand side. I haven’t been following you - I’m the police, that wouldn’t exactly be good for my rep.

Hey Mr. Police am I in trouble? Or do you have another case for me that you wont take?

Sat, 03 Mar 2012 22:49:23 -0500

Erm… What?

15 - What was the best thing you were given? (I wouldn't say your car.)

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 23:01:41 -0500

Best thing I’ve been given? Well, uh… my daughters. If that counts.

16 - Who was the last person who called you? and 5 - Who is the first person in your contacts? C:

16. Sally called me with a question about ten minutes ago, actually!

5. Well, John changed my contacts a few Fridays ago and I haven’t gotten around to changing them back. He changed Anderson’s full name to just “Andy,” so he’s first.

You know... Sometimes, I really do.

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 16:05:47 -0500

Keep this up, and we’re going to have to play Century Club next Friday…

80. What are you wearing? (;

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 15:45:38 -0500

…

You think you’re so funny, John.

The bloody drink arrived and Mycroft gave the bartender a curt nod, picking up the glass and taking a long sip from it. It was good. In fact, it was very good. Lestrade clearly knew drinks. The Irish cream was soft and creamy on his tongue, and he took another swallow before setting it down. Best not to drink it all at once. Mycroft knew his limits well.

“Oh, I’d have to say cake,” he said, trying to act like he’d had to give it some thought. “Cannolis being a close second. Though I don’t, ah, eat much of either these days.” Mycroft desperately hoped that Lestrade would accept the blatant lie and leave it. “You, Detective Inspector?”

“Yeah?” Lestrade asked, a little smirk to his grin. “Any specific kinds, or do ya just love them all?”

He drank more of his beer before answering. “I think I’d have to say…” He scrunched up his nose and squinted in thought. “I dono, there was something I tried once - I think it was called… Monkey bread? Friend made it once, I think, and it was really good. American, or somethin, I think. Either that or apple pie. With ice cream. And whipped cream, probably.” Lestrade nodded at his choices, wondering if he could convince his friend to make him more monkey bread.

Mycroft’s almost-smile froze in place. That was not something he’d expected. It was one thing to entertain the smallest bit of affection for the Detective Inspector, but it was quite another for it to be returned, much less for him to be winked at, by Jove. This crossed the line between harmless, fruitless manipulation over into…something that he couldn’t predict as well.

He needed to back out, now. But for some reason, he didn’t want to do that just yet. Maybe he was just a sadist. Maybe he’d changed a little too much in the three years since Sherlock passed.

At least Lestrade had the decency to look embarrassed, though he still had that bloody grin plastered to his face. Mycroft tried to make himself be disgusted. Couldn’t quite manage it.

“I imagine I will,” he said carefully, aware that his tone was colder than it had been all evening. “Sweet and creamy is my favorite.” And then he bit his tongue and told himself to stop speaking, now.

Lestrade laughed a bit nervously. He didn’t know what he was doing, and, worse yet, he had no idea what Mycroft was doing. He kept going from seeming like he might actually have fun, to seeming like he might actually get Lestrade fired from his job with less than a phone call.

“I can see the appeal, yeah,” Lestrade replied with a grin that clearly wasn’t sure if it was amused, flirty, or hugely embarrassed. He had the urge to “accidentally” spill a drink on his sleeve just to excuse himself for a while in order to sort himself out.

He leaned forward onto the bar after taking a gulp of his beer and wishing John would say something useful. He flashed another grin at Mycroft, searching around in his brain for something not utterly mundane and annoying. At least, to Mycroft.

“On… the subject of sweets,” Lestrade started, then hesitated a bit before shaking his head a bit and pushing on. “What’s yer favourite dessert?”

((Mycroft, I’ll reply tomorrow. I can’t right now, sorry. Also, did you guys seriously...

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 22:05:43 -0500

((Mycroft, I’ll reply tomorrow. I can’t right now, sorry. Also, did you guys seriously just steal my car?))

(( What would your character think of you and what would you do if you met? ))

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 20:57:52 -0500

((Gosh, I have no idea. I have a very low opinion of myself, to be honest. The only thing I used to like about myself, really like, was my writing skills, and that got destroyed last night. ._. I mean, I’d hope he would see me as mature and polite… Most people notice right away that I fluster VERY easily. I would be in awe if I met him and probably wouldn’t be able to speak unless he actually talked to me. I certainly wouldn’t be able to go up to him and ask him anything or even say hi unless he said something first. That’s how I am with like everyone, though, not just Lestrade. ))

How do you think Lestrade will adapt to finding out that there are demons and other such creatures causing crime in his city?

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 16:52:03 -0500

((In all honesty, he’s likely to be really fucking freaked out. Try to shove the case to someone else, but end up being stuck with it - call up Sherlock and try not to sound like he’s suddenly had a sex change.))

((Also, why is Lestrade attracted to Mycroft? If the answer is "HE DOESN'T KNOW", that's okay, because Mycroft is in the same boat.))

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 16:43:57 -0500

((Gosh, well, he doesn’t know, I’m sure, but I think right now it’s a bit to do with seeing Mycroft a bit vulnerable and out of his comfort zone - it seems oddly endearing, coming from such a strong and strict (uptight) man.))

((Tell me your Mystrade feels.))

1. He and his wife divorced shortly after that Christmas party with Sherlock, but it was an extremely long process and lasted until a bit after Sherlock’s “death.”

2. Lestrade first found Sherlock completely drugged up and trying to help on a case. He was helpful, but he was also falling all over the place and very hard to understand.

3. Lestrade is a very social person - and usually very good at it.

4. Lestrade mostly drinks beer. When he’s out, it’s because he doesn’t wanna seem wimpy (though, he does like beer) and at home, it’s because he’s too lazy to make drinks. Sometimes, though, he orders or makes drinks and they’re usually very strong, but also pretty girly sounding or looking.

5. He loooves spicy foods.))

Mycroft had definitely had Irish Cream before, and remembered it being pleasant—and, as he hadn’t eaten dessert today, would be a nice treat. “We’ll do that,” he said after a moment, and looked back at the menu. He’d disregarded many of the popular brand names on his previous menu checks, and so now he was browsing the Irish Cream selection for the first time. It wasn’t much of a selection. The first choice looked promising, though, so he signaled the bartender over and ordered that.

He looked back at Lestrade. “That’s on you.”

A second later, he realized that that probably crossed over into the realm of flirting and Mycroft Holmes didn’t flirt. Much less with someone of Lestrade’s caliber. What the hell was he doing? Well, it was too late now. He could only hope that he wouldn’t make an even worse fool of himself once he’d had a drink. At least then he’d be able to blame it on something concrete.

Lestrade nodded at Mycroft’s choice; he’d had it, it was quite good. They even put some whipped cream on it, if they really liked you or were looking to make a good impression. Lestrade was a bit surprised at Mycroft’s little teasing jibe and grinned widely, extremely amused.

“‘Course! I did offer, you know,” Lestrade winked and then froze for a second, noting the look of horror on John’s face and realising what he just did. He’d just winked at Mycroft Holmes. Sherlock’s brother, even. Mycroft “The most important man you’ll probably ever meet” Holmes. Lestrade cleared his throat a bit. The grin had never left his face, but he was sure as hell embarrassed.

“I just hope you like it,” Lestrade added, actually having to stop himself from leaning towards Mycroft. “Eh hem. What exactly are you doing?” hissed a little voice in the back of his head that sounded a hell of a lot like some abominated mix of John and his ex-wife. He ignored it.

“Well, the… look! The look you gave it!” Lestrade kinda laughed, leaning onto the bar. “I mean, granted, it was only for a sec, but I know drinks and I know when someone likes or doesn’t like a drink, I’ll tell you, Mr. Holmes. Why not get something you like, huh? I’ll even buy it,” Lestrade added, leaning slightly towards Mycroft with a joking expression.

Mycroft nodded slowly, eyes drifting downwards as he considered. Lestrade had gotten that Mycroft didn’t like beer from one glance. This was interesting. Clearly there was more to the Detective Inspector than met the eye—that, or he’d simply gotten drinks every Friday for the past three years and this extraordinary power of observation was simply from lots and lots of experience. Or a combination of both. Regardless, it made Mycroft feel justified in sticking around.

“It was an attempt to be polite,” he said, raising his eyes to meet Lestrade’s again. “When in Rome and all that. You got all that from one glance?” He stopped. “Lestrade, you…know this place. Why don’t you order me something? Ordinarily I’d pick wine, or Scotch, but it doesn’t seem the right atmosphere for wine and I don’t want to start too heavy.”

Lestrade smiled at the explanation, shaking his head a bit.

“No need to go out of your way for us, huh John?” John blinked at his as if to say “Why do you keep bringing me into this, you twat?”

“Nope,” John replied, spinning around in his chair and facing them with a sigh. He leaned back on the bar and sipped his beer a bit. “Plenty of people don’t like beer. I think, anyway.”

“I don’t always like it,” Lestrade commented. “Hm, well, something less classy than wine, but not as strong as scotch..?” He scanned the menu. “Do you like Irish Cream? It’s not very strong, but it’s really creamy and tasty. They can do loads with it, or you can get it on it’s own,” he muttered, looking over the menu carefully. He glanced up at Mycroft curiously, wondering what would suit him.
