"—Fibonacci sequence numbers follow a rule according to which, Fn = Fn-1 + Fn-2, where n—" William stopped as he cleared his throat, his voice hoarse from the event from a week sgo. For some reason, his throat still hurts.

"Excuse me, back to what I was saying, n> 1. The third Fibonacci number is given as F2 = F1 + F0. As we know, F0 = 0 and F1 = 1, the value of F2 = 0 + 1 = 1. The sequence of Fibonacci numbers goes like 0, 1, 1, 2, and so on" William finished writing on the board at the same time as his explanation that has come to an end.

He turned to face the students as he smiled. "Any questions?" He asked as he waited for some students to raise their hands in case of some uncertainty but to his satisfaction, non were raised.

"Very well, please take notes of this. Your semester exam is coming up and this will be in your exam. I will be at my desk if you need me"

The class then got to copying the lessons as William went to sit at his desk, preparing for his next class.

He opened his laptop, as he stared at himself in the black screen.

"I want you to look at yourself, Liam. Look at how majestic you look when you gained so much pleasure that you felt overwhelmed. I want you to look at those fucked up expression as you screamed my name while I fuck the sense out of you. I want you to witness everything, remember everything till you could only think of it for the next few days"

William widened his eyes as his cheeks grew red. The detective was right, Sherlock had been on William's mind for days. William could still feel the presence of the detective, his warm breath on his ears, his tendering touches after their intimacy, the kisses, the bites, William could feel it all.

William brought a hand to his face, coving his mouth and nose so that no one could see how dark his cheeks had become. William felt like melting again.

Fuck you, Sherly! William cursed him under his breath.

"Uhm... Professor? Are you okay?" One of his students who saw how his professor suddenly became red asked.

"Uhm.. yes, I am quite fine. Nothing to pry on" William replied nervously, the students nodded as she got back to do her work.

William sighed as he looked at himself in the black screen but all he could see was the lewd expression from that night.

But then again, Sherlock hadn't contacted William ever since that day, did Sherlock get bored of William that easily?

William shook his head as he composed himself. Get a grip, William. Stop thinking badly about him, he's a world class detective, he is very busy. He mentally scolded himself. Then his phone rang.

"Sorry, I must have forgotten to put my phone on silent" William apologized as he switch his phone on silent. William looked at the caller ID and his face lit up with confusion.

"Why is Albert calling me.." he mumbled to himself. His brothers knew his working schedules so they wouldn't call me unless there's an emergency. "Sorry everyone, I need to take this call" he announced as he walked out of the lecture hall.

"Yes, brother?"

"I'm sorry for calling you on your working hour William but.. mother and father are here"
————————

"I am NOT marrying her!" William yelled furiously as Louis and Albert stayed by the couch, looking at each other. They have never seen William this angry to the point of yelling at his own parents, not even when he was the lord of crime. This is a side of William that they have never seen before.

"William James Moriarty, you must not dishonor the Moriarty name!" Alexander Moriarty, the father of the Moriarty brothers retaliated.

"So what?! Am I just supposed to sit around and agreed to an engagement with a woman that I HAVE NEVER MET BEFORE?!"

"SO WHAT IF YOU HAVEN'T MET THE GIRL?!" His father now got up from his chair and walked towards William whose face was red.
"You ungrateful child, I raised you and this is how you repay me?!" His father yelled as he raised his hand, Albert saw this and ran to stop his father before he could play a hand on William.

"Father with all due respect, please back off from my brother" Albert gritted his teeth as he stood in front of his brother. Louis walked toward William as he took William's hand in his.

"Father you didn't raise us, neither did mother." Louis spoke in a small voice. "You left us for years! I was the one who raised William and Louis, you came back just 5 years ago without an explanation and expected us to forgive you and now you are here, selling your own son to an engagement, for what reason?!" Albert back his brother up.

"William, dear" His mother now stood up, walking towards William using the soft approach. "I apologize for your father's behavior but you see, your father and I had agreement before you were even born to let his daughter, Alyssa marry you, The Henry and the Moriarty are life long friends, my dear"

William scoffed as he lightly nudged Albert to let him take charge of the situation.

"Are you sure it's not for the money?"

"Pardon?" His mother now looked slightly agitated.

"The Moriarty and the Henry were never friends, we are rivals. Father had bet all of the remaining money you both had left on some stupid casinos and he lost and you had no choice but to turn to the Henry's for help. You wanted the Henry and The Moriarty to come together as one, the Henry agreed and our marriage is the proof of the lifelong 'friendship'"

His father huffed as he crossed his arms. "Fine, you're right, be the genius that you are and you have to choice but to say yes"

"I am my own person and I have the right to say no" William said in a low voice.

"Please, is it because of the Holmes second son?" His mother suddenly blurted out. The Moriarty brothers widened their eyes as Louis and Albert looked at each other.

"That video of your interaction with the Sherlock Holmes at the science fair we've seen it, that what gave it away. Just because you two had sex once, it doesn't mean he is devoted to you"

William gasped as he slightly stumbled backward in shock. "That's right, your precious detective is engaged to another woman, not a man. Did you think, you, a man  deserve to stand by the world greatest detective? You are nothing but a mathematician, you're just a normal person while he is a rising star. Did you think he would ruin his rising reputation just to be with a man who isn't worth his shoes dust?" His father continued.

"Don't you dare talk about our brother like that!" Louis and Albert came in between them but William couldn't hear them. All he could focus was the fact that Sherlock is engaged.

He lied to me...? No, Sherly wouldn't lie to me. He wouldn't. William felt himself tearing up as he brought a head to cover his mouth.

"You know what, now that we think about it, you are not worth marrying Alyssa Henry. We will think of a different offer, keep trying to get your detective back but I highly doubt you will succeed" They both laughed as they walked towards the door and got out.

"...Sherly wouldn't do that, would he?" William asked to no one quietly. "He wouldn't, right?" William's voice cracked as he looked at Albert and Louis, but they both refused to look at William's eyes. Those simple gestures were enough to tell William that they knew.

"To who?" William asked as Louis shook his head. "We don't know brother but it is all over the news, I have been trying to get in contact with Sherlock but..." Louis sighed as he and Albert walked over to hug William.

"Don't listen to father and mother, they don't know what they are saying. If it wasn't for you sacrificing your life for this country, they wouldn't be living a comfortable life like this"

"Albert is right, William. You and Albert are the best brothers anyone could ever ask for. You changed my life. I love you so much"

William's tears finally broke free as he sobbed in the arms of his brother.

Sherly, where are you now?
