"I must say, I am quite impressed with your house Mr Holmes" William cooed as he stepped into Sherlock's house, taking his shoes off. Sherlock snorted as he closed the door behind him.

"Oh so we're back on the last name basis, professor?" Sherlock taunted William as William scoffed and turned to look at Sherlock, making Sherlock laughed.

"You are so dramatic!" Sherlock pointed out playfully. William gasped as he fully turned his body towards Sherlock and crossed his arms. "Well sorry for having emotions! Should I go back to being the lord of crime who concealed his emotions behind a meaningless smile?" William bluntly replied.

Sherlock smiled as he took off his shoes and placed them neatly before walking towards William, slowly closing the gaps between them. William looked at Sherlock as he felt Sherlock's lips on his briefly. "I prefer you being like this, Professor" Sherlock whispered against William's lips as the younger closed the gaps between them.

When they pulled apart, they looked into each other's eyes, being intoxicated from each other. Ruby orbs staring into the sapphire orbs, to their eyes, they are the most majestic person they've ever seen.

"Gosh, you are temptation in human form" Sherlock whispered as he chuckled, William smirked as he got on his tiptoe, no thanks to their 5 centimeters difference, and whispered against the detective's ear.

"You should chase it" Sherlock gulped as William got back on his feet and shared his innocent smile. "Come on, show me around the house. It's rude to leave the guest hanging" William winked as Sherlock rolled his eyes.

"Okay, so that is the living room, that is the kitchen and dining area, the room in the back is the bathroom. The room next to the stair is John's bedroom, that's all" Sherlock lazily pointed to each rooms as he speaks which earned a smack to his head from William.

"Show it to me properly" William firmly says. Sherlock nervously chuckled as he lead William to the living room, the kitchen, the dining room and briefly showing William the direction of John's room instead of going in to respect his privacy.

"This is it for the first floor" William nodded as he took Sherlock's hand in his and slowly linked them together. "You're so touchy, Liam" Sherlock teased William as he kissed the professor's forehead. "Do you prefer me being cold and distant?" "Oh my days, please no" William smirked, satisfied.

"That's what I thought" William remarked as he leaned his head onto Sherlock's shoulder and sighed, happily.

"What's wrong, mon amour?" William shook his head as he smiled. "Nothing is wrong, I'm just really happy that I found you again, Sherly" Sherlock smiled as he looked at William, making William looked back at him. "So am I, my Liam"

As the time progressed, Sherlock continued showing William the second floor and decided to rest in Sherlock's room.

"By the way, John is out for the day to visit his girlfriend so we have the house to ourselves" Sherlock winked at William who was sitting on the bed.

"I see.." William responded as he patted the seat next to him on Sherlock's bed, wanting his detective to sit next to him in which Sherlock happily complied.

"You know there is something which I found quite unfair about this life" William started as he looked at Sherlock, Sherlock arched an eyebrow.

"What is it?"

"It is the fact that our height is different in this life" William pouted as Sherlock slightly snorted. "It's not that bad, you're still tall"

"Not as tall as you" Sherlock laughed as William glared at him. "You know what I actually found weird is the fact that our names are the same, I mean, hello? My name is literally still Sherlock Holmes" William nodded as he leaned his head on Sherlock's shoulder.

"I was also confused to why my last name is Moriarty but after our parents told me that our ancestors' last name was Moriarty. It is possible that I am my own ancestors" Sherlock nodded in amusement as he seemed to recall something.

"You know now that you mentioned it, Mycky actually mentioned something about us having the Holmes blood"

William nodded as something in the corner of Sherlock's room caught his eyes, "Sherly, why is that thing being covered? What is under it, is it a dead body?" William joked as Sherlock shook his head.

"Sorry to disappoint you, Liam but it is just a mirror" Sherlock stood up and walked toward the mirror before pulling the cover off of it. "I honestly forgot about it so that's why I never uncovered it"

"My.. that mirror is quite a beauty" William complimented as he walked over to the mirror.

"Yeah because your reflection is in it" William paused when he got in front of the mirror, looking at himself.

"I'm not so sure about that" William frowned as he caressed the birthmark on his eyes. Sherlock's followed the directions of William's hand, his gaze softened.

"I'm hideous, aren't I?" Sherlock sighed as he stood behind William, looking at the professor in the mirror. "I don't know what you're talking about Liam, you're gorgeous" William frowned as he caressed his eyes more.

"I hate this birthmark, Sherly. Do you know where it is from?" William asked as Sherlock hummed. "The aftermath from falling off a bridge, Liam, if you think you're hideous, you are absolutely wrong" William looked at Sherlock in the mirror briefly before turning to face the real Sherlock.

"Your birthmark, it is unique. It certainly outlines your eyes more. It is so alluring" William felt his eyes teared up as he turned to face the mirror again.

"It is not just my birthmark, Sherly. It just that I got bullied a lot for my not masculine appearance when I was still in school, I think I am just unappealing and unattractive Sherly, how could you say I am 'gorgeous' when you look like this?"

Sherlock sighed as he kissed William's hair from behind. "You're not unattractive, Liam. It just that you never got a chance to properly observe yourself" "but I am looking at myself right now, Blonde hair, red eyes, pale skins, feminine features and that birthmark on my eyes"

Sherlock chuckled as he shook his head. "Not that type of observation" Sherlock smirked as he slipped one of his hand under William's  sweater and pinched his nipples, making William gasped.

"Would you like me to guide you to observe a side of you that you have never seen before?" Sherlock asked, lust clouded his eyes, William looked at himself in the mirror. His face was all flushed up and he saw an unfamiliar emotion in his eyes, is it.. lust?

Giving into the temptation, William sighed as tilted his head upward a bit to kiss the detective neck.

"I would love to" William whispered against the detective neck.
