puzzle (sheriarty)

◇chapter 1◇

His dad was dead he thought to himself as he kept his thumb hovered the send button as the command sat left on read on his screen. Jim broke out of his trance and put is phone down and instantly went to was his hands , though it wasnt necessary he did it after every command he sent after all , he didnt like to get his hands dirty.

He stayed in the bathroom for a moment staring him self in the mirror , Jim sighed heavily then let out a loud and manic laugh that echoed through the empty houshold he laft for a while but abruptly stopped apon hearing his phone ring . He made his way back into his room and prepared for this glorious moment .

"Hello ?" He said inquizitivly as he pressed the green button on his screen.

The recieving end replied after a short moment "hello this is the new york police department, is this James Moriarty ?"

Jim responded with panic in his voice "yes ,yes is everything ok ?"

"Sadly we were notified that your father has suddenly passed from a sevre heart attack "

Jim stayed silent in pure disbelief then let out a violent sob , the operator gave thier apologies and hung up after giving some information about the bodies transportation back to london .

As soon as the call ended Jim just returned back to his cool demenor before going to get changed for school, he put his shirt on left the top two bettons undone before putting on his probably way too tight trousers then proceeding to head back into the bathroom too slick back his hair and shave . Jim checked the time he realised he was infact extremely late , he rushed to his room put his sunglasses and grabbed his keys , phone , headphones , and school bag and ryshed out of the door and locked it behind him .

He walked to the bus stop only just getting there on time . He hopped on the bus scanned his pass and sat down in the only available set of chairs putting his bag down on the outside seat .

The bus started back up again and and drove to from one stop too another eventually stoping to pick up a student , he took this chance to sort out his phone without getting motion sickness though he was interupted by a tall myterios figure gesturing to the bag on the outer seat , jim sighed and moved his bag only then identifying the boy as the one and only Sherlock Holmes .

The boy moved his coller up to block out Jim , Jim on the other hand studdied the taller boy closely watching him role up a cigarette and took out a engraved zippo lighter and lit it jim was so lost in what he was watching he hadnt realise Sherlock was staring right at him . Apon realising Jim looked up at him apoligeticly as Sherlocks cigarette was offered to him he declined politely and looked out the window .

Meanwhile the majorly bullied however the extremely tallented and enigmatic deducer could not deduce his acquaintance , and this was was rather puzzling all he thought he knew was he wanted a cigarette but that seemed to be wrong as when it was offered to him he swiftly turned it down , Sherlock was absolutely purplexed .

◇◇◇◇◇◇

The bus eventually came to a holt at the school and jim pulled out his headphones and stuffed both them and his phone into the front pocket of his bag and headed off the bus after Sherlock , and rushed to his locker .

He put his books inside and looked at his time table , you see Jim was on his second week and as this was a private school there was far more lessons than necessary coupled with the fact that in the uk they had A and B weeks and he is on the never experienced before B week .

He made his way to physics and had a small chat with the teacher about his relative newness and the teacher sat him at the back , Jim naturally assumed the desk had no one on it and thats why he's here ,he was under the impression he could stay in his head as he was sat by himself in a lesson that he was far to proficient in , however he was wrong . The slender boy decked out in a trench coat from the bus waltzed in and sat next to jim shedding his outer layer before rolling up his sleaves and holding his boney hand out towards jim .

"Sherlock holmes " he stated sounding board.

Jim firmly shook the others hand "Jim moriarty , hi " he moved his hand back and gave a wide and slightly intimidating smile "I'm sorry about earlier I was just curious as to what you were doing and then I desperately wanted to see the engraving on the lighter "

There was a small pause before sherlock produced the lighter and handed it to Jim . The slightly shorter boy looked at the inscription, it read 'to my brother dearest ' . "So you have a brother " Jim asked suddenly extremely interested in the conversation.

"Yes , he is 2 years older than me and he is absolutely insufferable , he believes he is smarter than me in everyway ... he isnt . "

"So hes in uni ? "

"Yeah , in yale down visiting at the moment , then he has a government job lined up right after finals "

Jim nodded "hold on , is he called mycroft ? "

Sherlock looked ever so slightly suprised "uhm , yeah , how do you know him ?"

"Oh we have met on a few occasions, he is definitely insufferable and not as smart as you " Jim edged closer to Sherlock and looked at him suggestively .

Sherlock huffed out a laugh and returned hus focus back to the work hed began doing as they discussed . Jim had completely tuned out of the lesson he pulled out his phone and was texting someone . Sherlock glanced over but still failed to analyse the other the well kept man , he was a mystery . On the other hand, he seemed to be open to Sherlock and quite flirtatious although Sherlock was reasonably out of clue when it comes to flirting.

◇◇◇◇◇

The lesson soon ended and the class trailed out , sherlock waited with jim as they stood beside the door way , if you wait it 'prevents bullying' as Sherlock put it.

Jim didnt want to wait he wanted power he didn't need to get caught up with the possibility of being bullied so simply he wouldn't . He walked out and joined the rest of the class as sherlock stared in awe jim successfully shoved everyone back and left the crowd un-harmed . He still opted to wait for Sherlock though, Jim was stood next to a sandy haired boy who was eagerly watching the door .

Eventually, Sherlock walked up to the pair by the door he smiled at Jim and
Pulled the other boy into a one armed rather forced hug . The three stood for a moment before Sherlock realised the awkwardness was there because of the lack of introduction Sherlock jestured to Jim "Jim this is John and John this is Jim "

Jim smiled his signature smile and looked at john "hi" he did the half hearted wave .

John smiles and nodded "nice to meet you "

Sherlock walked off , and Jim and John looked at eachother before jogging to catch up .

◇◇◇◇◇
It was soon the end of a rather long day he waited outside and sorted his bus pass and phone this time before he got on , he saw Sherlock approaching .

"Hi sherly ~"

Sherlock dismissed the nickname and started on the train he was already mentally on "we have a chemistry assignmentand you seem proficient enough to work with "
