The Third Holmes (𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘁 𝘅 𝗠𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗬/𝗡)

CHAPTER 6

When Y/N saw their older brothers were busy examining the corpse, he stood beside the younger Moriarty. "Louis-Kun, why don't we find a place where we can talk and just leave it to our older brothers to find the culprit."

Louis narrowed his eyes and said. "I just can't leave, Nii-San."

Y/N then gave the man a cheeky smile. "They both seem to be having fun, they probably wouldn't even notice if we're gone."

When Y/N saw the uncertain expression on his face, he continued. "Don't you want to have fun too?"

Y/N then heard Louis sigh as he fixed his glasses. "Fine."

Y/N's eyes then were filled with joy as he grabbed Louis' arm. "You won't regret hanging out with me, Louis-Kun."

Louis' eyes just widened in surprise as he let himself get dragged by the younger Holmes.

***

Y/N and Louis can both be found in a compartment of their own, their privacy not being invaded by other passengers.

They were both drinking a high-end brand of wine that was served to them.

"I'm glad you agreed to have a conversation with me right now, Louis-San."

Louis took a sip of his wine and tilted his head. "Why are you so adamant on trying to converse with me, Mr. Holmes?"

"Please just feel free to call me Y/N. To answer your question, isn't it obvious? I would like for me to get to know you more."

Louis slightly raised his left eyebrow. "And why is that?"

"Why, you interest me of course." Y/N gave the man a cheeky wink.

Louis scoffed at that and said. "If you're trying to get information about my brothers, stop this spectacle right now."

Y/N then let out a dramatic gasp. "You think so bad of me Louis-Kun. Can't a man be just trying to befriend you?"

Louis was silent for a moment and spoke up. "Then let's get to know each other."

A grin was immediately on Y/N's face. As Y/N was about to reply, the younger Moriarty added. "I would also like to get to know you more too."

As scarlet eyes were locked on him, Y/N couldn't help but feel like a prey that went willingly to the predator's trap.

I'm probably just overthinking it, I have the upper hand here.

Y/N then tried to break the tension by speaking up. "Then, shall you start, Louis-San?"

Louis hummed in response after he took a sip. "What would you like to know?"

Y/N smirked and took a sip from his glass. "You're an adoptive son of the Moriarty family, right? Why is it that you look exactly like your brother William?"

Y/N expected the younger to have a nervous or angry look on his face, he was surprised to see a calm expression on the man. "Isn't that a reason for them to take me in?"

Y/N narrowed his eyes. "Yes, ho-"

He was cut off when the man in front of him started to caress his hand. "You have hands that fit a writer, Mr. Holmes"

Y/N's eyes widened as he felt the gentle touch on his hand. He then cleared his throat and replied. "It's because I am. I work as a journalist for a newspaper company."

"I see. So I probably was able to read one of your articles then." Louis said offhandedly.

Y/N withdrew his hand from the man and said. "Using my moves against me? How low of you, Louis."
