“I’m sorry, Sherlock, but I think what you just said is that you’ve been catfishing a murderer online, pretending to be a couple, your brother and I, and now you want us to meet him? A murderer? As a couple!” The last few words are really quite loud, and Rosie makes a startled squeak in the kitchen.
Sherlock glares at him.
Greg takes a deep breath. “Sorry,” he says, automatically, then – “No – no! Not – not sorry, because – of all the things, Sherlock, that you have ever done, this is undeniably the most – the most utterly – I –”
He closes his eyes, fists clenched, and takes several deep breaths.
“Overlooking many, many other problems with this entire scenario –” he pauses and takes another breath, “– what on Earth makes you think that, as a couple, a detective and a – a – whatever he is –” he gestures wildly at Mycroft – “would put themselves online on a dating site?”

Dammit, green_violin_bow, they're already my OTP - I didn't need you to make me fall in love with them all over again! Your Greg and Mycroft are...they're...I'm... (flailing motions) (squeeing noises) (rushes to subscribe to author's AO3 page).
