Our New Life Together

Chapter 40 : Long Awaited Answers ( Part I )

Third Person's P. O. V :

On a bright and sunny morning, a young boy at the age of 14, who had beautiful and shiny blonde hair, was walking in the streets of London while holding a piece of paper that contains a house address. This boy was William James Moriarty and he is currently looking for the house of the pyschiatrist he saw online. Luckily he saw that this man had no connections to the Watsons however he was once a detective of a famous detective agency, his reasons for leaving though were unknown. William didn't told anyone about his little expedition luckily, they were all at the hospital because they admitted Albert there since he's already 8 months pregnant and Sherlock was grounded for a month since he picked a fight with a fellow classmate a few days ago, William on the other hand, said he had something to do so he was left behind, he was just glad none of the servants saw him leaving the house.

William continued to walk around a few more streets and finally saw the house he was looking for. It was a modest and cozy looking house with one storey, it had a few windows and it had a small fench around it. William opened the average gate and walked the pathway all the way to the door and pressed the doorbell. No one opened the door so William tried again, still no one. William pressed it again and finally heard footsteps coming towards the door. The door was sprung opened by a man, who seemed to be in late twenties, he was blue stripped pajamas, his eyes were closed in a thin line and he had a lolipop in his mouth. William looked at the man in amusement and smiled softly. The man seemed to notice this and smiled as well.

"Well... Looks like I have a visitor... How may I help you?" The man said in a soft and friendly tone.

"Hello, I'm William... Are you by any chance....

Edogawa... Ranpo - san?" William asked the man.

The man looked at William for a few seconds then he opened his eyes that revealed a beautiful pair of emerald eyes.

"You're the kid who says he has weird dreams?" He asked back while crossing his arms.

William nodded his head and the man, Edogawa - san, sighed then let him in and took him to his office, it was a modest room, not too small and not too big, it was just right, the room had two gray couches facing each other, a small coffee table in the center, a yellow rug under them, a medium sized window a few feet away from the two couches, it was opened so the cool breeze of the outside was flowing in, a few small bookshelves around the room, the walls were colored in a light brown hue, and a desk with a few papers on it behind the first couch and a small refrigerator next to it.

Ranpo told the boy to sit down on one of the couches and said he'd just go change and be right back. William nodded his head in understandment and sat on once of the couches. He put his small red bag on the coffee table and placed his hands on his lap and sighed.

"Haa..." William sighed deeply.

"That was heavy." Someone said in low and giddy tone.

William turned his head towards Ranpo, who was now wearing a brown long sleeved shirt, a pair of jeans and was holding a tray of tea and crackers and what looked like a few... Sweets? Ranpo smiled towards the boy as he sat on the other couch across from William's and placed the tray down on the table while William placed his bag on the floor.

"Would you like some tea?" Ranpo offered the boy with a smile.

"Yes please. Thank you." William thanked the man with a smile.

Ranpo began to pour tea on the two teacups and gave the other to William while he put the other in front of him.

"Sweets or crackers kid?" Ranpo asked while holding the two plates containing two different kinds of treats.
