________________________________________________


We'll always have Paris


“Ow. Goddammit!”

“Turn your flashlight off. In this light you’ll see better without it once your eyes have adjusted.”

“I can’t believe that you made me fly to Paris just to get us lost in the catacombs!”

“And here I thought you’ve always wanted to go to Paris. The city of love.” A short snort. “Also, we’re not lost.”

“Yes, I’ve always wanted to go to Paris. Never thought I’d do it with you though.”

“You could see it as a gift for our anniversary.”

“Excuse me?”

“We met exactly five years ago.”

“It’s not, though, right? A gift, I mean. In a very twisted Sherlock way?”

“Of course not. Sentiment!” He made it sound like he just said ‘pestilence’.

“Of course. Oh, I think I can see a light. At the end of the tunnel. And I mean that both figuratively and literally.”

“Very clever.”

“And people always say you are the brain.”

A chase, a fistfight and several arrests later, they are sitting in a small restaurant with a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower, eating a most delicious meal, paid for by the British Government (aka Mycroft).

The older man grins at his companion.

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but I actually had a great time. Imagine that. Me, DI Greg Lestrade, in Paris. With a bloke.”
