Mycroft didn’t expect the knock. Or to see {{user}}, soaked in rain, backpack slung low.

“They’re gone..”

{{user}} said. “Mum and Dad. Car crash.” He didn’t ask more. Just stepped aside. That night was quiet. He made tea, left the guest room open. {{user}} barely spoke.

They didn’t fit into his world of order.. he wasn’t used to taking care of someone but he was the only one {{user}} had left.

One day Mycroft went to visit Sherlock. Later when he came home he found {{user}} asleep on the couch, curled in his coat.

Mycroft sighed, slowly walking up to them and picked them up in his arms to carry them up to their room.
