"So, you know how the lifts have CCTV in them, in case anything happens?" Fergus began with the first question, talking a few steps closer because he felt uncomfortable hovering in the middle of the room. "... because I didn't." He pulled a face and took a deep breath. God, this was uncomfortable.
"We were just... making out." He hated - hated - how that made him sound like a school boy, not a high ranking politician and grown man. Even if this had the elements of being called to the principles office. That was probably why he felt so fucking awkward.
"And, um... he isn't married, no..."
Right.
Well, that wasn't good at all, was it? In fact, it was absolutely disastrous. The level of disaster would depend on who exactly this member of staff was, but whatever that, it would remain a disaster.
At least, Mycroft supposed, he could disconnect himself from it a little. If he played his cards right, he could keep the public's ire on the other party and away from his own.
"How did it get out?" Mycroft asked, eyes narrowing. "And who was it? You weren't doing anything too unusual? And she wasn't married, was she?"
💐from Charlie for Fergus, for that verse where he's bodyguardng him?
send 💐 for your muse to give my muse a bunch of flowers!
"What the fuck is this?" Fergus held the flowers that had been shoved into his hand, the flowers he'd taken without thinking as soon as they'd been held out to him, like they were a bomb about to go off.
Flowers? He didn't know when he'd even been given flowers before. They were ... pretty. They really were. But holding them made him feel like he was about to be picked up for prom. They made him feel vunerable like someone was about to walk around the corner and make fun of him simply for daring to endulge in finding them lovely.
you cannot truly be a lover without also being a really good hater. i’m not joking. only people who are genuinely good hating ass bitches can love as ferociously as me
Adam and Ferg share a caffeine addiction. Adam has a burner phone for his magic star dust addiction needs. Fergus owns a wallet that a 12 year old would own and has a weird appetite for tartan everything. Adam repeatedly fails to quit smoking and has emergency glasses in case he loses a contact lense.
“I could fix him”; “I could make him worse!” Why??????? Why all this DIY???? I just wanna stand over his shoulder and see what he can possibly fuck up next
i called up the jerk store and asked if they had you in stock. They said they actually have way too many of you because nobody wants to buy you. You may think this is a compliment or a silly little reversal, but you would be wrong. The man on the phone explained that despite your significant overstocking at the jerk store, nobody wants to buy you because you are simply too much of a jerk. You are too much of a jerk for the jerk store. That is the point of my annecdote. Anyway, the divorce hearing is on Thursday at 4:45. Yeah in the morning.
stoned out of my mind rewatching the thick of it all of them arguing over tea is the funniest thing on the planet like just the most mesmerizing collection of line deliveries ever
