Sherlock Preferences and One-Shots

Dances and Deductions (Moriarty Ending)

A/N: If the whole Moriarty Ending in the title doesn't make sense, it basically means I'm writing two endings to the one shot Dances and Deductions, one Sherlockxreader ending and one Moriartyxreader ending! So this has just been something I've wanted to do for a while now and I thought this was the perfect one shot to do it off of! What do you think of it? Would you want another alternate ending series? If so, tell me which was better and if you liked this in the comments!

You had this feeling inside of you... It was new but odd. You missed James already. Even though you had only been gone for a few minutes. You knew your decision and it seemed as if he had made his feelings known already. So there was only one thing left to do.

"Excuse me sir." You say after a moment of silence. "I-I don't understand."

You stopped dancing when he started to speak in that deep voice of his. "You are a beautiful woman and no one else has caught my eye like you have." He said and after another stretch of silence, he leaned in to kiss you.

You thought about it. Making a quick split second decision.

What if James doesn't love me?

You didn't care. It was worth taking the risk. He was worth it...

You quickly stepped away.

"I'm sorry sir. I... don't feel the same way." You said calmly, although you were a bundle of nerves on the inside.

"Of course." He said, looking mildly hurt, like he had never been rejected before. "Forgive me." He said politely, almost sadly before leaving you.

You watched him leave, feeling a little sad to see him leave like that, so abruptly, so sadly. He was interesting and you kinda hoped that maybe you could be friends. But after that, the chances were very slim. But maybe, just maybe you had done the right thing. God, you hoped so...

But something inside of you needed a minute... A minute to think about what you were going to do. Should you make a move now? Or just let him go?

You secretly loved James, and it had grown inside of you so fast that you wanted to be sure you were doing the right thing. No one had ever made you feel the way he did. He made you feel beautiful and that was something that so precious that you couldn't let your chance of telling him slide. Because you could never see him again. And just that thought was unbearable.

So you calmly walked off the floor and out onto a small balcony outside. It was beautiful out that night. The stars gleamed throughout the inky black sky and you sighed, only then realizing how cold it was because your breath was visible in the icy air.

You lightly rubbed your arm for a bit of warmth and started up at the sky. But that's when you felt someone behind you, rubbing your chilled arms for some warmth.

"What are you doing out here Y/N?" You heard James ask from behind you, causing you to turn your head and see him beside you.

"I was just thinking." You reply and turn around to face him.

"About what?" He asked nosily.

"Just... Things." You replied, walking over to the railing of the balcony and leaning a bit of weight on it lightly.

"I know something's bothering you." He said, walking up beside you and looking at you, even though your attention was fixed on the shining star filled sky. And when you didn't reply, he gently put his hand on yours, his hand immediately warming your chilled one.

You looked down at your hands, a bright blush coming to your cheeks but thank goodness that it was dark out so he couldn't see it.

"Um..." You started, thinking you were going to stutter so you paused for a second. "I-Its nothing," You lied, mustering up the courage to meet his gaze, and his eyes were considerate. Caring. Loving.

You felt yourself exhale, finding yourself speechless. Helpless. For that one moment of anticipation, you were nervous, until his lips were softly planted on yours, his warm hand gently caressing your cheek. And you complied, kissing back with a soft passion that only came from this, an innocent blossom of passion that formed only from you two.

And it was amazing... Almost addictive...

You gently pulled away, despite the fact you didn't want to and he kept his hand delicately placed on your cheek.

He stepped away from you, looking away in almost a panic. "I'm sorry... That was out of line..." He said apologetically. And that confused you... Why was he sorry?

"Why?" You asked, stepping back up to him and grasping his hand in yours before he could reject it.

He sighed and looked back at you... some kind of emotion in his eyes. What was it? Guilt? Shame? Pain?

"I'm a criminal Y/N...." He said quietly.

Your heart sunk. You loved him. And that was clear now.

"No. That's not true... You're a good man James." You say, desperately praying he wouldn't leave you, Not now...

"It is Y/N!" He said, his voice raising ever so slightly because of the emotion warfare going on in that head of his.

You jumped back slightly when his voice raised. "I've done things that would disgust you. So just go now and forget about me before this goes any farther than it already has. I don't want to hurt you Y/N... Not you." He said, his eyes and voice pathetic, pleading with everything he had in him.

Without any hesitation you kissed him once again, not caring who saw or who knew that you love this man. Because it was true. You loved him. even though you had only just met, no one had made you feel the way he did and that did it. That put it all together. You loved him. No doubt about it...

"I don't care what you've done in the past." You say softly after pulling away from a strong, passionate kiss. "I love you James."
