Summary: Being seven years the older didn’t give him any advantage when it came to Sherlock.



Being seven years the older didn’t give him any advantage when it came to Sherlock.

He could still remember the first time he saw him – a tiny baby with a mop of black curls, eerily quiet for a newborn. He neither liked nor disliked him; Mycroft didn’t care about such things, he merely filed away the details for future reference.

(Like the hushed words he caught once – borderline Asperger syndrome, that’s what a doctor said.)

The two of them never really got along, but Sherlock seemed to do with that John fellow now.

It was a relief in a way.
