Chapter 1: Guess Who

Moriarty's POV

Damn Russians! The Russian mob has been messing with my operations for a month now and I can't let it pass anymore. Today was the last time, the damn Russians just messed up an amazing deal I had by bombing the restaurant where I was discussing the deal with the Italians and now here I am inside a pub, sitting on a high chair in the bar with a glass of whisky.

I was about to drink my second glass when I caught sight of Doctor John Watson... Sherlock Holmes' only friend or moral compass. He was sitting at a table with a bottle of beer in hand and was currently talking to the waitress.

The waitress was flirting with Doctor Watson, she pulled her light brown hair teasingly and bit her lower lip gently and Doctor Watson seemed indifferent to the whole thing but still talked to her and made her giggle. I rolled my eyes but I couldn't stop myself from staring to their direction. Suddenly I felt my phone vibrated, I retrieved it from my jacket and checked for messages... it was Sebastian checking up I haven't blown something up for a whim. Sebastian always made sure I didn't blow something or killed someone but he worried for nothing because as weird as it sounds I really have no pleasure in killing for a caprice, I prefer to kill with an objective, a goal. But I had to keep a reputation and an image so usually, I did what I had to do.

"Are you here to kidnap me again, strap me to a bomb or bomb the place by any chance?" A man asked me

I knew that voice, I turned off my phone and turned just to meet John Watson's blue sea eyes

"Not really, just passing the time Johnny, don't sweat it" I replied and swallowed the rest of my whisky.

"Mmm good" John Watson said and sat down on the chair next to mine

I eyed at him suspiciously, was he stupid or brave? He dared to seat down next to me and then began drinking his beer as if we were long term friends or something like that.

"What do you are doing?!" I asked confused by Johnny's actions

"Having a drink, I thought it was obvious?" Johnny said sarcastically and drank from his beer

"I noticed" I hissed "but why are you sitting next to me? Are you wasted or just hit your head pretty hard?" I asked again

Johnny shrugged and licked his lips... that was pretty hot. Johnny seemed to think his answer and then chuckled

"Because you didn't come to do anything bad as I know and you seem to be pretty lonely. I guess you came here for a drink so that means your day wasn't good, you a bad day due to maybe a job gone wrong or something" Johnny explained and then chuckled again

I was taken aback by his response... he was right! How on Earth could he know?! Apparently, I gave Johnny here less credit than he deserved... maybe that is why Sherlock keeps him around, because of his intelligence. Johnny isn't completely stupid, he was actually really clever.

"Indeed but maybe I will, after all, kill someone, like the waitress or the bartender" I thought out loud

"Don't" Johnny warned and then pressed his lips together

"And why ever not?" I asked defiantly

"Because they are innocent and what you plan on doing is wrong! People are not something you can get rid off, they have families and lives, people who miss them and besides you won't do it because I won't let you, Moriarty. They are important and you won't touch them or harm them in any way, they could someday help a greater good or maybe save your life... you never know" Johnny scolded me as if I was a little kid

I looked at him amused... Johnny was really a mystery, a puzzle. He was interesting and surprising, to say the least, and overall good looking. I chuckled at Johnny's speech and he looked at me rolling his eyes.

"Come on Johnny! Don't be boring, I won't kill them. They are not important enough! Besides, you are amazingly tolerable company" I teased Johnny and chuckled

Johnny raised his eyebrows but then chuckled along

"Very well, I will continue to keep you company" Johnny accepted

I don't remember the day I laughed so hard, it was now past midnight and I was still at the pub with Johnny talking about nonsense and we were firing each other with puns or jokes or whatever we thought about. We were currently talking about the things we dislike and I couldn't believe Johnny disliked raspberries but enjoyed raspberries jam and ice cream, which was ridiculous! How can someone dislike raspberries and like raspberries at the same time?!

I was actually crying from laughter and Johnny was grinning at me but he wasn't in a better state he was crying from laughter too. Johnny was telling me about one day when a Lieutenant meant to do a prank to his partner in patrol but took the Captain's towel by accident instead of his friend's.

"How could that Lieutenant do that and get away with it!" I said when I could control my laughter

"He was really convincing" Johnny replied and shrugged still chuckling lightly

"So he convinced his Captain that he wasn't the one who stole his towel while he was taking a shower" Johnny said between chuckled

"He was clever with his excuse" I commented and grinned

"I know... well, I must go... Sherlock must be waiting for me" John said as he stood up and took his wallet out and left some notes to pay for his drinks. He put on is jacket and seemed to hesitate at what to de next

"Oh, of course" I said not knowing what else to say because I knew it was a lie Sherlock was too caught up in his own mind to notice his friends disappearance or lateness

Johnny hesitated if to hug me or shake hands, in the end, he decided just to nod.

"Goodbye Moriarty" Johnny whispered and left without another word.

"Goodbye, Johnny boy" I whisper at the empty seat next to me.

My heart clenched at the thought of never seeing John Watson again like this. Now we had to change back to mortal enemies again. Although Johnny wasn't on my dead list, Sherlock Holmes was and Johnny was important to Sherlock and I did promise Sherlock to burn him... to burn his heart out of him.

Hi! 

This is my first Johniarty love story and I hope it ends well. I am sorry for any grammar or spelling mistake.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter ;) Tell me what you think... I am not sure if this idea is going to work but I wanted to try it out.
