Jim Moriarty x Reader

Chapter 21

You slowly smiled back, a little surprised to see his expression lined with something other than blankness, coldness, irritation, or worry. Huh.

"You know, I'm sure jim would be happy to have you take care of him as well~" you grin teasingly, causing William to facepalm.

"I. Am not. Gay." He huffs, and you laugh. It was so fun to tease him about it. The fact he got so flustered/upset made it all the better. He was like... an older brother. That's what he was like. It took a long time to figure that out. You had no idea what William was to you. A dad, a gay best friend, a grumpy old man.... but nope. He's like a brother. In other words, a mix of all three, eheh.

"Aight, if you insist~. Anyways. We should check on him though, he's probably not taking care of himself properly-" You say a bit worriedly. William kind of smiles again.

"So now you're going to be his nurse? Kinky."

"S t o p." You laughed awkwardly, smacking him lightly in the shoulder before dragging him out of the room. It still bothered you that Jim totally played you... he faked his death in order to make you snap... you still didn't feel the same as you did before jim 'died'. You felt... darker somehow. Like that part of you that lost it and almost killed someone..... was still there. ....

...

..... BUT!!!! Let's not worry about that now. Right now, Jim's probably bleeding out thanks to you, and likely is not taking proper care of himself!!!! At all!!! .... you definitely didn't just want to help him to potentially see him shirtless..... ehehehehhhehehehhhhh...

"No. No, y/n. Sorry, but no. Not going to happen." William stated, shaking his head. You look at him confused a moment, then flushed beet red. Oh my god. He must've been doing that thing again. That same thing jim does. Where he like. Somehow examines your expression and mannerisms to figure out the probable topic you're thinking about. Oh g o d.

"You don't. ....... what did you think I was thinking. ....?" You ask, obviously extremely embarrassed. William glances at you ever so slightly, his mouth twitching into the slightest hint of a smile once more.

".... oh look, we're already at Jim's office. Cheerio!" William purred kind of smugly, before wiping the smile back off his face and strolling off to resume the work he likely had piling up. You smiled, then just shook your head, and got yourself together again.

".... jim...?" You ask, slowly walking into his office.
