Full Bodied (A Moriarty x Reader Fic)

Chapter 9

You've been sleeping on that file folder for 3 weeks now. You haven't seen Moriarty since that night he broke in and after that you've been on high alert. Keeping an eye out for any sign of him, or those two men from before. There hadn't been anything out of the ordinary, except for flowers being delivered to you at work, or at home a few times a week. Blue roses; which you didn't even know were a thing. No note. No name. 

You hadn't heard from Mycroft, and have only talked to Sherlock a handful of times only to check in. You huffed as you walked out of the pharmacy your worked at, it was dark and you felt a presence with you at the back of the store. You gripped your keys tightly in your hand and tried to see who was there in the dark. 

"Can I help you?" you called out, and you saw a figure move closer. You figured it was an addict or a dealer trying to rob the pharmacy. You were agitated, all you wanted to do was go home and get some rest. 

"Give me all the percs you have." he shakily brought out a knife and stared at you, you weren't afraid at all. You were annoyed. He's an infant compared to Moriarty. 

"Yes, because when I close the store I take all the drugs outside with me. That's not how that works dumbass." 

"THEN UNLOCK THE DOOR!" He points the knife at you. Even his yells pale in comparison to Moriarty's. 

All you did was let out a laugh impulsively, he didn't take it lightly. Within a few seconds you saw him lunge at you with the knife and before you could even defend yourself-

BANG

Blood spattered across your face, you screamed as the random mugger dropped to the ground in front of you. Dead. You brought your hand up to your face, touching the warm blood. You started to freak out, looking every which way to find where the shot came from. You started to pant, finding it hard to catch your breath when you heard something drop from behind you. You spun around and saw a tall shadow walk towards you, dimly light from a cigarette their face became clear;

Sebastian.

"Wh-wh..how-w-wh-wh" you had trouble breathing, let alone talking. Sebastian waved you forward to follow him.

"Come on then, we've got to go." you didn't move. He came over to you, grabbing your wrist and dragging you behind him. There was no way you could take him, or out run him. You followed, shaky, confused, scared. You looked behind you only once at the dead man laying there, his eyes still wide open. 

"What about him?" there was no way he could just leave him there? He would get caught, I would become a suspect-

"It'll be taken care of, now shut up." 

Like before there was a blacked out car waiting, but this time there was no driver. He opened the door on the passenger side and shoved you into the seat. He opened the trunk, throwing something heavy in the back and slamming it shut. You sat there motionless as he climbed into the driver seat and pulling out onto the dark roads.

You thought this was over, or at least dying down. Almost a whole month of everything back to normal, and then someone gets their brains blown out inches from your face. You stole glances at Sebastian as he drove, he sat very straight with both hands on the wheel. You swallowed.

"..I'm sorry about your shoulder, by the way."

He glanced down at you, with your head hung low but staring at him, worried. He broke eye contact, not responding with anything except a 'hmmf'. You swore you saw a light smirk. It was much faster to arrival than you and Sebastian's other journey. Though, they both ended at the same place. Sebastian unlocked the gate, and drove up to Moriarty's home.

You both got out of the car, and Sebastian watched you closely while you scuff to the door. You looked back at Sebastian, and he gave you a nod, you opened the door slowly. The house was filled with a soft warm light from candles being lit, you saw Moriarty standing front and center with a smile.

"Oh you poor girl," he purred, Sebastian lightly pushed you all the way into the home. "were you scared?" you didn't speak, Moriarty looked behind you at Sebastian. 

"She was fine up until I shot him, she was even laughing."

He looked back at you, "Oh? Why's that?" the smile he wore didn't once fade.

"...I've had James Moriarty break into where I was staying twice, somehow some thug trying to rob me with a knife didn't seem to compare." you almost whispered, you were uneasy to say the least and every word you exchanged made it worse. 

"Oh Y/N~," he smile grew wide, "you're going to make me blush."

His face went back to normal, and he once again looked back at Sebastian.

"Moran, go clean up that mess." Sebastian turned to leave, 

"Wait!" your eyes were wide as you looked back and forth between the two men, "what if he gets caught? There could be a report out and they'll see him there-"

"Aww," Moriarty cooed "are you trying to protect Daddy?" 

"No! I-"

He chuckled, "That man is a no one. No one will look for him or even notice he's gone." He walked over and sat on the couch. "He's miniscule. You could kill a dozen men like him and no one will ever know."

You didn't protest. Sebastian left, leaving just you and Moriarty alone. You wanted to know why you were here, but actually asking was a whole different task. You stepped closer to Moriarty on the couch, lightly and slowly as if one wrong move and he would pounce. You sat on the far side of the couch as he stared at you. You looked around, noticing a glass coffee table with-

Blue roses. 

Your eyes darted back to Moriarty, "It was you-"

"It was. Now every time you see blue roses you'll think of me. I'll forever be a symbol in your mind, you won't be able to forget me." 

As if the murder, blood, break ins, threats and stalking wouldn't make a permanent mark in my mind.
