#105. The way you try to hide your smile every single time I tell you one of my horrendous dad jokes - GL

You've never given me this many compliments in the entire time we've been together - MH

I apologise. I'll be sure to make it up to you - GL

Gregory, is there something wrong? - MH

No. Why would there be? - GL

Because you've only being texting me compliments for the past 2 and a half hours - MH

What's wrong with that? You said it yourself that I haven't been giving you enough compliments - GL

That's not what I meant at all. If this is about me not being able to go out with you because I am ill and miserable, then please don't pity me. It will just make it worse - MH

I hate the thought of you being on your own and me not being able to take care of you. I thought they would cheer you up and make you feel less miserable - GL

They are but it's also making me more miserable knowing that you're not enjoying the time you're having with John and Sherlock - MH

Not that spending time with my annoying brother would be enjoyable for you - MH

I'm currently listening to the 31st bee fact of the night - GL

Oh no, I'm so sad I'm missing that - MH

Am I hearing a hint of sarcasm from you, Mr Holmes? - GL

When talking about Sherlock? Never, Mr Lestrade - MH

Are you sure you want me to stop texting you? - GL

Yes. I hope you have fun and stop worrying about me. You can't do that if you're constantly contacting me. If you keep trying to compliment me, you'll be in serious trouble, Gregory Lestrade! - MH

Oh, really, Mycroft Holmes 😉? - GL

The other kind of trouble - MH

Oh - GL

I love you - MH

I love you too - GL
