Chapter 8 – Sherlock or Moriarty?

 

You jumped when music suddenly played in the background, probably from a cell. But who has ‘Stayin’ Alive as their ringtone?’ You saw Moriarty sigh deeply and roll his eyes. ‘’D’you mind I get that?” He asked. Sherlock pulled his shoulders slightly, “No no, please. You got the rest of your life.” Moriarty mouthed ‘sorry’ to the detective and got out his phone.

‘’Hello? … Yes, of course it is. What do you want?’’

Moriarty started walking a little before he widened his eyes,

‘’SAY THAT AGAIN!’’

You jumped a little when he shouted, and quickly exchanged a look with John, who pulled his shoulders. He looked terrified.

Moriarty sighed and stopped,

‘’Say that again, and know that if you’re lying to me,’’ He hissed and brought up his hand, pressing his thumb and index finger together as he continued, ‘’I will find you, and I will skin you.’’ You and Sherlock locked eyes, and so did he and John. That threat was probably supposed to be very scary, but you giggled a little at it, making John and Sherlock give you venomous looks, while Moriarty smiled playfully to you. You shut up and looked down. You were happy that Moriarty still was there. That he didn’t leave. Technically, that was a bad thing, because now they’re all going to die, but you couldn’t help being a little happy. Moriarty mumbled something into the phone and walked over to the jacket. ‘’Sorry, wrong day to die.’’ He said and locked eyes with Sherlock, who adjusted his grip on the pistol. ‘’Oh, did you get a better offer?” He mocked and tilted his head slightly. You started walking towards the two men, not wanting Sherlock to shoot. Moriarty glanced surprised at you, ‘’Hello, kitten.’’ He said and smiled. ‘’I am rather busy, so if you’ll excuse m-‘’ You grabbed Moriarty’s phone and put it to your ear. ‘’Sorry, Jim Moriarty is busy right now, and he’ll call you back.’’ Then you threw the phone to the ground, making it smash into a thousand pieces. Moriarty and Sherlock both backed a little off. ‘’That was awfully rude, y/n.’’ Moriarty stated as he stuffed his hands in his pockets. ‘’No.’’ You protested and took a deep breath. ‘’You’re rude, evil, selfish and stupid. What am I to you? Am I a toy?  A toy that you use when you need a distraction? Am I just another woman that you use to entertain and please yourself with?” You glared at Moriarty, who stood there and looked at you with emotionless eyes. “y/n. You’re not a toy. Not to me.” He started and smiled mildly to you, surprising you. Why would he show that he had a caring side to Sherlock and John? Wait, why do you care about that? Sherlock scoffed from behind you and placed himself next to you. ‘’She’s your second weakness.’’ He figured and smiled weakly, “She’s your second weakness.” Moriarty smiled weakly and snapped his fingers. All the snipers seemed to retreat. “Indeed she is, and it would be hard for me if she chose your side.” Sherlock looked confused for some seconds, before he lowered his gun. Your body was boiling with anger and confusion, and you didn’t understand anything that was happening around you. Sherlock grabbed your hand and pulled you into the middle of the room, and then he walked to the other end, signaling for John to come with him. John, Moriarty and Sherlock understood everything, but left you in the middle as a question mark. “Sherlock..?” You muttered, glancing back and forth at the detective and the criminal. Sherlock cleared his throat quickly. ‘’Now, I want you to think over everything that has happened, between you and me, and between you and Moriarty. Everything. I want you to think over what consequences it would make if you stayed with Moriarty, and if you stayed with me. I want you to choose: Me, or Moriarty?”

You shook your head, trying to hold back the sudden sobs. You looked at Sherlock, who took a deep breath, his lips tightening a little. You looked at John, who was staring at his feet. You looked at Moriarty, who looked at you with caring eyes as he tilted his head a little, like a begging puppy.

If you chose Sherlock, your life will probably go back to normal. Drinking coffee alone, writing and reading. Meeting up with friends every now and then. Sleeping on Sherlock and John’s sofa. Argue with Sherlock, laugh with John. Maybe help them a little with cases, maybe help him catching Moriarty.

If you chose Moriarty, your life will drastically change. Drinking tea in the morning, watching over Moriarty’s apartment as he’s out doing his ‘errands’. Help him with all his awful crimes, which will make your life full of excitement and action, and maybe you could sleep in the same bed as him? Maybe you could come with him on his errands? Maybe even help him run away from Sherlock and the police.

Moriarty reached out a hand, ‘’Oh baby you’re a classic, like a little black dress.. You’re a faded moon, stuck on a little hot mess..’’ He sang quietly as he smiled to you. Sherlock gave you a mild look, telling you to come to him.
