Our New Life Together

Chapter 04 : A Close Kiss

Albert James Moriarty P. O. V :

Looks like they're all asleep now. Gosh!! All of them are just so cute!! William, Louis and Sherlock were all sleeping on Sherlock's bed. Both he and William were on both sides of the bed while, Louis was in the middle of them. William on the left side, Louis in the middle then, Sherlock on the right side. They were all so adorable I couldn't help myself from taking some of their photos while, they were sleeping. But what Louis did awhile ago really surprised me. He's usually shy and timid. Just why in the world did he do that to Sherlock? He looks like a good boy to me... Hmm....

"I never knew you could sing..." Mycroft said to me but, was looking at the children as well.

Even though, he was wearing a stoic expression, I know he was a gentle person in the inside. I felt it. Especially towards his younger brother. I even heard from some of the seniors that he only talks about his younger brother. Hehe.

"Not really... I just do it sometimes when both of them are in a bad mood or when they both have nightmares. " I explained to him since I'm not really good at singing.

"Really?" He asked when, he finally faced me so, I looked at him as well.

"Yes." I said while, nodding.

"Really now... Well it seems to me, your singing is much better than those professional ones." He said then gave me a rare smile.

Unbelievable. Mycroft Holmes. THE Mycroft Holmes, who has been entitled a stoic beauty who has never before smiled in front of anyone, not to his Parents, not even to his own friends but, smiled at me today. Well, we did grew up together due to our Parents' arrangement that we must spend our summers together. It only stopped when William and Sherlock were born since, we had to look out for them. We spent 3 summers together. We met when I was 3 years of age while, he was 6. We're quite close to one another in my opinion. We rarely talk in school with one another and if we do talk to each other, we usually only talk in the cafeteria when, it's lunch time or in the library. But we always contact each other and met up once in awhile. Whenever both of us are free, we would make time to visit each other. Everytime we visit one another's houses, the boys were mostly asleep or gone out with one of our parents so, both him and I never really met each other's younger sibling up until now.

"What's wrong?" He suddenly asked with a worried look in his eyes despite not showing any void of emotions on his face.

"I'm fine. Why'd you ask?" I asked him back.

"Nothing, it's just you suddenly became all quiet, I was worried I did something wrong. " He said sounding a little guilty.

I laughed slightly.

"What's so funny?" He asked confusedly.

"Nothing. But you are right. You did do something to make me all quiet. " I said after laughing.

"What did I do?" He generally sounded really surprised this time. I laughed again.

"You smiled. Which never really happened before." I said then, looked at him with a smile.

"I did? I don't think so." He defended.

"Oh really now?" I inquired while, giving him a smirk.

"Yes. " He said in a stern voice then, became all neutral again.

Geez... Did I offend him or something?

"Did I offend you?" I asked.

"No. No, you didn't. " He said then, walked up to me in a slow manner.

I backed up. He continued on advancing towards me. I continued to walk backwards when, I suddenly felt the wall against my back. Crap! I cursed inside my head. When, he got close to me, he used both his hands to entrap me, he used them both as a barrier so I won't escape. Both his hands were on the sides of my head. Why does this look like..... I wondered in my head. This scenes seems familiar.... Like the ones in those cheesy dramas that my Mother watches on television.... What do you call that again?
