Mycroft one shot x reader - How would you feel?

I let out a sigh in satisfaction and looked at the paperwork. All done. All those important documents were finished and even though my workday wasn't over yet, I judged I had done enough for today. From out of the window came some of the golden light of the sun and it shone on my desk. It was like a spotlight on my car keys. I assumed that was a sign that I had done enough and I was allowed to drive home. But first, I needed permission from my boss...

I rose from my chair and grabbed my stuff. The weather outside looked so friendly that I longed to go there. With a smile on my face I closed my office and walked through the hallways. 'Going somewhere, dearest?' I heard a male voice say. I smiled at my co-worker. 'Yes, actually, I am going somewhere, so... you wouldn't mind dropping these off in Claire's office, would you?' I handed him all my documents and walked on, as if nothing had happened.

My good mood disappeared slightly when I neared my boss' office. Even though I really liked him, he could be quite stern too and I doubted if he would let me go home earlier. I softly knocked on his door but there came no answer. Patiently I waited but knocked again after some time, this time louder.

'Yes, all right, come in.' I heard his annoyed voice say. I opened the door and walked in. Mycroft didn't look up from his work when I closed the door. 'Hello.' I said softly and he looked up as he heard my voice. 'Oh, it's you. Hello.' He said and smiled. A real smile, not one of his many forced ones. 'How could I help you?' he said and made a gesture to the chairs in front of his desk. I sat down and smiled at him.

'Is there someone annoying you again?' he asked but I shook my head. 'No, Mycroft, there's nothing wrong. Maybe I just wanted to see you.' I smiled as he dropped his pen. 'Or you want to go home earlier because of the lovely weather.' He said and looked at me sternly. 'Really Myc, teach me how to do that!' I said and reclined, beaten by his skills.

He chuckled cutely and reclined too. 'How would you feel if I didn't give you permission to go?' He asked and kept his eyes fixed on me as I leaned a bit forward. 'I'd be truly disappointed in you but most of all really angry. How would you feel if told you that you should go along with me?' I asked in return.

'I can't. You know that. I'm working.' He said pitiful. 'How would you feel if I gave you permission?' 'Why do you ask, isn't it...' I imitated him; '...obvious?' 'It is,' he said with a smirk, 'but I like to know all my options.'

'I'd be really happy and I'd express that emotion.' I answered and looked at him with an exaggerated begging look on my face. 'Alright, alright, you may go.' He said and I jumped up to hug him tightly. 'Thanks Myc!'

My hand was already on the door handle when Mycroft called out my name. I turned and smiled. 'Yes?' Something about him had changed and the first relaxed Mycroft now looked at me nervously and thought for a moment before talking. 'How would you feel if I asked you on a date?'

His question came so suddenly that I didn't believe my own ears. But when I saw Mycroft's face, waiting in agony for a respond, I realised what he meant. 'Really? Euh, I would feel flattered and happy.' I answered. 'Would you say "yes"?' He asked and I nodded. 'Underneath the Big Ben, tonight at six o'clock?' He asked and I smiled. 'Sure. I'll be there.' And with that said I left. The sun seemed much brighter as I walked out of the building, feeling Mycroft's eyes on me as I went.

'Thank you, Myc. It has been a wonderful evening. Who would have thought I'd go on a date with my boss?!' I called out happily and we both chuckled. 'Who would have thought I'd ever find my goldfish?' Mycroft said softly. 'Your what?' I asked, not believing goldfish was the thing he actually said. 'Nothing.' Mycroft said and looked at me. Again, the real smile was on his lips as he stared at me warmly. 'What is it?' I asked as he kept on staring.

'My dear, how would you feel... if I told you I love you?'
