Who asks who? - Discuss!

When it come to popping the question, does Greg ask Mycroft?

Does Mycroft ask Greg?

Does Anthea get fed up of them tip-toeing around the issue, sit them down and propose to both of them at the same time on behalf of the other?

Or do they decide that marriage just isn't for them and they're happy to live in sin for the rest of their days?

Quick proposal headcanons please!

I agree with anarfea, but my personal headcanon is that Greg asks Mycroft. Mostly because Mycroft is concerned that marriage has bad connotations for Greg after his ex-wife, and he's always a little nervous that this gorgeous silver fox is going to change his mind (because why would such a man be interested in his freckled saggy body forever?)

Greg, meanwhile, is in love with his boyfriend/partner/soulmate, and intends to prove it, because no matter how many times Mycroft has said marriage is just a piece of paper as easily forged as any other, Greg's not buying it.
Also, he really wants his ring on Mycroft's finger. And a honeymoon. And growing old together.

So he takes Mycroft to dinner, and dresses up for the occasion (Anthea provides the suit, because she's a gem) and he pops the question traditionally, with flowers, when they get home, in the sitting room, on one knee.

Mycroft cries. Anthea cries watching over the security feed. Greg doesn't cry, surprising himself, but that's because he's too busy holding his now-fiance.
