Heartache | Jim Moriarty

Prolog

Listening to my good mood playlist, i danced through the streets of Soho, ignoring all the looks i received. I just landed my dream job at the MI6, after so many years of training. And my pay was good enought to stay in a fancy hotel until i find a flat , or a flatshare. Everything was just perfect!
Well, at least until i collided with a hard chest.

I turned around to look at the tall man in front of me, his lips moved but i couldn't hear him over the music.
I quickly removed my airpods. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"
The guy stared at my gloved hand and furrowed his brows, confused. "I said you should pay more attention." right, he definitly doesn't sound like my unit chief. Not at all. "Well, it's not like you tried to dodge, so i guess you weren't paying attention yourself." i smirked up at him and to my surprise he cracked one himself. Looks like he isn't just handsome, but cheeky too.
"Fine, i didn't." he crossed his arms but didn't attempt to move, he was waiting for something.

"Something wrong?" i asked carefuly. There was no way that some stranger could ruin my good mood. "I don't know yet, what's the glove for?" Ugh, of course. Why are people always so interested in my glove?
"I don't know, i need it for work but somehow it stuck and i wear it most of the time." i watched my hand and flipped it over and over. There was nothing strange about it.
"I'm Colonel Sebastian Moran and coincidentally, I'm a Sniper too. The question is, who are you working for?" the man held out his hand, but i was to surprised to shake it. He was a bloody Colonel, no wonder he talked that way.

Taking his hand i started to laugh, this was hilarious and so so weird.
"Solar Ravens, markswoman. And i actually just returned from overseas, I'll started at MI6 next week." Sebastian raised his eyebrows and hummed softly, interested.
"How are you doing? Being back and everything?" ooh, he was nosy, but for some strange reason i didn't mind. I actually thought him to be sympathic.

"Just fine, i missed London a lot. But it's really hard to find a flat, you know? " checking his watch Sebastian hummed again and looked around, like he was running late. I haven't seen such normal human behaviour for a long time. It felt good.
"My boss, well , friend and i are sharing a house. There is an empty bedroom and study if you're interested." oh.

"No thank you, i really don't fancy living with two men again. Some female company would be really great since i was the only woman in my unit. For 5 years!" The thought made me laugh and Sebastian chuckled along. He knew what i was talking about.
"If you change your mind, call me." like in a cheesy romantic movie he grabbed my ungloved hand and wrote his number on my wrist. That was the moment i noticed that he wore a glove as well. A white one. How did i miss this ?
"Thanks, i'll think about it." with a last nod Sebastian patted my head awkwardly, messing my hair and left.

I was only back for four day. This was so strange!
