Jim Moriarty x Reader

Chapter 38

Waking up with a yawn, you stretch, but immediately retract your arms with a yelp and clutch your shoulder. Your ability to ignore the pain was completely diminished. It was there yesterday, but you were too tired and weak from blood loss to notice it as much. Now, the pain was unbearable, it almost immediately brought you to tears. Damnit.... you hated that evil man all over again.

............. ahah..... but jim kissed you. ....... hehe....

You smiled to yourself, remembering the wonderful kiss. .... then you draw your eyebrows together, realizing something. You carefully pull out your phone, texting William.

'William? How was Alex taken by that man? He was home alone, right? Is there a chance that could happen again? Is he safe??' You wait for Williams response, and after a few moments, your phone finally lights up with his reply.

'He's safe, don't worry. He's staying with a friend and his mom until I can figure out who this guy is and how to take him down. Now hush, I have work to do. If you're lonely, go see your bf~.'

You grin at the text, making a mental note to smack William in the arm next time you see him, for being a sass. At least Alex was safe...

You debate whether to go visit jim or not, carefully rubbing your sore shoulder. Would he be calmer now-? Or would you be risking him hurting your arm more....?

...... eh. In the end, it'll be worth it, eheh.

Smiling like a goof, you jump out of bed and go to the door. At least jim didn't have you restrained anymore... that was horrible. Although William was risking getting into some serious trouble for taking care of you like he did.... hm. ... or maybe he worked that out with jim? Possibly? Hopefully...? William never went into the 'torture chamber' that jim occasionally had you clean, did he...? He doesn't act like it.... ... he never seems to be in pain of any sort, so that's good. ...

When you got to Jim's office, you knocked on the door with your non-incapacitated hand. Jim opened the door, seeming tired as hell, but keeping it together. He smiled at seeing you, holding the door open a little more to let you in.

"Good morning my dear, sleep well~?" He asks, although of course only for casual banter, not because he was actually wondering. .... likely because he was awake all night by the looks of it, making sure you weren't escaping or something crazy.

"Yes, I did.. how about you, jim—-?" You ask, looking at him worriedly, since he acted so... indifferent. And. Chill. Like he totally didn't pull an all nighter, although his looks claimed otherwise. Jim shrugged then just calmly smiled, sitting on his desk and pulling out his phone.

"Fine. I noticed Alex spent most of the day with you and Willy boy yesterday~ why is that?" Jim asks, in casual interrogation. You take a split second to think of a valid, believable response to give jim.

"No reason, really. He was lonesome and jumpy since his 'other side' came out earlier, so William kept him around to comfort him, let him know it wasn't his fault." You state in response. Jim, half occupied with some sort of work on his phone, glanced up at you a split second before back down again.

"... I see. Interesting. And you've forgiven Alex?" He asks, raising one eyebrow as he looks up at you again. You nodded in response.

"Of course, hes just a kid... he did what he had to do." You said, catching on that clearly, jim knows something was up. And if you weren't extremely careful, he would catch on to everything.... jim set his phone down, before jumping down off the desk, hands clasped behind his back.

"And why, pray tell, did you decide to leave in the first place, y/n?"

........ Oh dang.
