Chapter Text
The sun was streaming through the light blue curtains; Penny was crumbled up with her duvet in fetal position sobbing deeply. It knocked on the door.
"Penny?" Came Mycroft's soft voice thick with worry and a hint of panic, Penny just groaned in responds. Mycroft entered the room; eyes wide and slightly panicky.
"Are you all right? Do you need medical assistance?" Mycroft asked softly
"Just leave me fucking be Myc!" Penny shouted
"I cannot, your father is expecting me to take care of you while he is attending the conference in Scotland, now tell me what on earth is going on!" Mycroft asked
"Trust me Myc, this is not something you want to know" Penny sobbed
"Try me" Mycroft said softly. Penny sat up and looked sternly at Mycroft.
"All right, yesterday when I was at Benjamin's place we... ehm... we had sex or well we tried. It hurt so fucking much so I told him that I didn't want to anyway and he got so fucking angry, told me that I was nothing more than a cock tease and he broke up with me" Penny started to cry again.
"Oh my dear heart" Mycroft cooed and hugged his stepdaughter close. "Did you love him?"
"Yes.... no... oh fuck I don't know" Penny sobbed into Mycroft's chest
"Did you think about him constantly? Feel his absence as a black hole in your soul whenever you and he are parted?" Mycroft patted Penny's hair
"No... not really no" Penny sobbed
"Then I do not think it was more than a teenage infatuation my dear heart, but that still do not condone his hurried behavior towards you Love" Mycroft said softly, Penny sniffed and looked up at Mycroft.
"Is that how you feel whenever you or Da is away?" Penny said through sniffs
"Yes and an awful lot more" Mycroft sighed
"God why can't I find someone who makes me feel like that? I always get the douchebags" Penny pressed into Mycroft's chest.
“All in good time my dear, you are still very young, I was way into my forties before I found the love of my life” Mycroft chuckled.
“Oh fuck, I hope I don’t have to wait that long!” Penny gasped
“Oh I hope not, your father and I are very much counting on grandchildren someday” Mycroft flashed his rare warm smile and Penny reciprocated
“I think you two would make a set of ace granddads!” Penny giggled and hugged Mycroft
“Thank you Myc, promise not to tell Da” Mycroft sent Penny a disapproving frown “well not very soon at least” Penny blushed.
“I Promise my dear, it will be our little secret, for the time being” Mycroft grabbed inside his jacked and got out his little black book “Now if you would be so kind, what is this Benjamin chaps last name”
“Please Mycroft, I know you already know and are well on your way to make his life a livening hell” Penny smiled
“Oh, well” Mycroft pocketed his little book
“I wasn’t saying I disapproved though” Penny smiled mischievously and Mycroft returned the smile.
