puzzle (sheriarty)

◇chapter 2◇

The next day Sherlock was in Jim's room to begin the project.

Sherlock peared around the room enquizitvly he wanted to collect as much knowledge as he could about his new friend , Jim smirked watching Sherlock try to just decipher every little part of Jims life  .

The room was relatively large with light grey walls and black furniture down to the leather desk chair , he had a king sized poster bed opposite his desk , his sheets and wall accents were blood red.

Jim sat on his bed and gestured for Sherlock to sit also . "I know I don't have alot of chemistry equipment but we do have full reign in the house" he shrugged slightly  .

Sherlock got up and started putting chemicals on Jims desk , Jim shot up and instantly started to rage , "Sherlock stop !!" He slammed his fist on the desk "the pc is expensive , THINK !" He began to move the moniters and keyboard off the desk aswell as moving all the plugs , as he muttered numbers under his breath .

Sherlock was taken back by the sudden and vicious shouting , however he became quickly over come with excitement as finally he had something to work on .

Jim had anger issues.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

It was only awkward for a moment after Jims outburst, he returned to his confident and flirtatious Manor . Sherlock wanted to pry but decided to wait until the moment was right .

They both completed the experiments for the first trial day and recorded the information .

They ended up sat on Jims bed again eating some snacks and chatting , Sherlock was intent on finding more information about Jim he settled on asking about his pc .

"So. . . How much is your pc worth ? "

"Well , my pc is about £3,000 and both moniters are like £1000 each, they were the only good thing i got from my dad
..."

Sherlocked was moderately shocked by this tonal shift but continued "where is your dad ?"

Jim laughed slightly "oh , well he is dead , he died like 2 days ago ..."

"How are you allowed to be alone ? , why did you laugh ? Surely its not that funny "

"My step mom is staying in new york but cause im almost 18 she lied and said she came back ....and i laughed  because he was a abusive piece of shit and means nothing to me exept providing me joy that his heart packed it up " he said the majority of the end of the sentence with venom in his voice.

Sherlock would never show it but the power Jim carried when saying this , scared him . He decided to change the subject to his original intention .

"Uhm ,Jim , earlier when you were angry why were you counting ?"

"Oh sherly , dont play dumb with me you know exactly why ... its obvious isnt it ..." he moved closer to sherlock and looked him dead in the eyes "im deranged " he whispered . There was a pause for a moment just as Sherlock began to carefully calculate his next sentence Jim burst out laughing "I'm kiddiding " he said between laughs "I go to a massive fuck off anger management unit and they tell me to do certain exercises , though it makes me feel a tad insane I'm not there yet "

Sherlock sighed in relief although he wasn't entirely sold on the not insane stuff he was certain Jim wasn't lying about the anger management. Jim in fact wasnt kidding though , once hed fully stopped laughing he pulled out a massive folder of exercises from just under his bed and showed his most ridiculous and intense exercises .

Sherlock ended up staying quite late into the evening and he'd even done a little flirting himself , something drew Sherlock to Jim it seemed like his brain worked almost the same as his own and he was shrouded in the mystery that Sherlock desperately wanted to decipher .

A/N : Yo i had to alter the og chapter two slightly , yes jim has anger issues , its sort of important. (Inspired by another fic ) im also sorry  if i dont portray it correctly :)
