"No! No, I don't want that, God, I swear I don't."
He must have made it sound really bad if Mycroft was giving him an out, he just...wanted the man to know what he was getting into. Too many horror stories he'd heard about people with ex marriages and children leaving new relationships because the new partner didn't understand how to deal with the exes. Especially the exes that were absolutely horrible.
He took Mycroft's hand, grasping it firmly, almost like a lifeline.
"I want to be with you. But I also want you to have all of the information at your disposal before you make this decision. I'm sure this isn't going to be a day at the park for you either. If you decide you're okay with this, then by all means, sign that final paper and let's get on with this. I won't say another word about it."
His thumb rubbed over a knuckle as he spoke, eyes wide and honest. He hadn't wanted anything so much in a long damn time and he was willing to jump through whatever hoops necessary to make sure this happened.
