Lestrade/MycroftbeautybecksSeptember 18 2010, 10:56:12 UTC
This pretty much one of my previous prompts but only much more of a cliche.
I want one of those police charity man-auctions that I'm fairly sure don't exist in real life. You know the one, where the men are forced to dress up and who ever bids the highest gets the man for a day. Where the men are the goods. The kind that Lestrade would absolutely hate. Being flaunted and having women leer at him. The price would go through the roof. Lestrade would be horrifed because he doesn't quite know why but he is glad to be raising the money for charity but he's dreading what he's expected to do.
Mycroft turns up and offers a price no one can match.

A/N: I was so tempted to let not!Anthea do the bidding by proxy but Mycroft got all "Back off, bitches - he's mine!" so... yeah. XD

The M.C.'s voice cut through the general chatter in the hotel function suite. "Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, the moment I know quite a few of you have been waiting for... our Date with a Detective auction!"
"Oh, hell." Lestrade sighed. "I was hoping to be away before this started. Thought it was meant to be later

"Fifty!"
"Sixty!"
"Seventy!"
Lestrade was glad people were feeling generous but didn't they know there would be other people up here? Just because he was up first, didn't mean they all had to bid for him.
"Eighty!" The older lady from Admin again - she had a very... hungry look about her. He shifted uncomfortably and she licked her lips. In fact quite a few of the audience seemed to be unconsciously doing that. What the hell was wrong with them?
Although it is hot in here... or that might just be me...
"One hundred!"
A hundred quid!
"One hundred pounds I'm bid! Come on, ladies - he scrubs up quite nice after all." The M.C. grinned broadly at Lestrade.
"One ten!"
One twenty... One thirty... One fifty...One sixty...One eighty...Two hundred... Two fifty... The bids were still coming in faster than Lestrade could keep up with. He was starting to feel dizzy - and getting more than a little worried about what might be expected of him on this 'date'. This was well into the realms of serious money now

SQUEEEE! You have actually made me squee and my 10 year old brother disown me (don't worry, he'll soon forgive me because I baked him double-chocolate cookies just for such occasions) Thank you for writing this. I am grinning from ear to ear. I'm a sucker for possessive Mycroft so I'm glad he made an appearance. Yay! You've made me very happy! XD

Bless Lestrade, he totally would have freaked (which might have been interesting to see. Why do I have the urge to make him run away to Belgium a la Stephen Fry?)
Anyhoo, thanks again for filling this. I am grinning like a cat which has the cream (or a Mycroft who has Lestrade) XD

Aw man, not only did you have awesome possessive Mycroft, but adorable thinking-he's-not-so-totally-hot-eyecandy-Lestrade. I aw'd so many times when he thought no one was going to bit for litle ol him. xD

Aww, that was both hilarious and adorable. I made my OH enquire as to my wellbeing by laughing so hard! Love insecure Lestrade and possessive Mycroft! Also love choking Gregson XD
Re: FILL: Because You're Worth It (2/2)beautybecksSeptember 21 2010, 08:58:23 UTC
Thanks! Sorry to cause concern to your OH! ;)
And yeah, Gregson was asking for it. His little joke backfired a bit as did his peanut. Lucky for him Mycroft will be distracted for the next wee while and in the mood for something other than revenge...

I was sorely tempted to make it not an established relationship but then I suspect poor ol' Lestrade would've freaked out a bit at that!

Yep - Moffat's comments on the DVD seemed really fitting - Lestrade has no idea how hot he is. Fortunately he has us (and Mycroft) to persuade him!

That was awesome. Simply brilliant and funny and rather delicious too. Would love to know what happens in the car :)
