Jim Moriarty x Reader 2

Chapter 31

The four of you sat in a coffee shop, all of you sipping tea. Yours was the best of course, because William was the one who made it. >:3

"So Ty, you and William have known each other a while, then? You two must be really good friends!!" Candace exclaimed, smiling sweetly at the extremely uncomfortable Ty sitting across from her. William smiled over at Ty reassuringly, clueless to the fact that every time he turned away Candace's glares got a little more threatening. Ty swallowed and stared down at the table, extremely tense.

"..... yeah." He replied, you looked over at Candace to see the smile still on her face, however her hand was now gripping her cup so tightly that her knuckles were white and you were certain it was going to smash.

".... so Candace. How did you and William get together? Did you threaten to kill him?" You joked, she immediately went to stand up but William placed a hand on her shoulder to calm her, glaring at you.

"What the hell, y/n..." William said sternly, although you caught Ty smile a tiny bit out of the corner of your eye. Worth it.

"..... sorry. That was rude, it was supposed to be a joke. But how did you two get together?" You ask, both William and Candace were cross now, although they sat back and calmed down.

"Ah... well, I don't know. Its.... a long story." William replied, but Candace quickly chimed in happily.

"We met at a bar~ we kind of just got each other, you know?" She smiled, taking William by the arm possessively that could be easily mistaken as 'affection'. Especially so by William who was blindly dating a girl that he thought he loved, except you were very certain he was just clinging to the first girl he found for a sense of comfort and being needed, after his dad died.

"Wait...." Ty straightened up, tuning into the conversation. "You're drinking again, William...?" He asked, seeming immediately worried for the well-being of his friend. William shook his head, backtracking.

"No- Ty I'm fine, don't worry."

"Yeah He's fine, cuz now he's got me-!!" Candace chirped happily, still clinging to William's arm, now resting her head on his shoulder. You couldn't help but roll your eyes at how petty she was.... and you could see William was even getting a tad annoyed as well.

"Heh.. yeah." William replied with a smile, kind of pulling his arm away a bit before patting her lightly on the head- which was pretty much the most affection William would ever give anyone. He seemed quite uncomfortable in general with touchy feely things like hugs or spooning.

You pulled out your phone, texting jim so you could get a break from fourth wheeling.

'Hey Jim, how's it going with the boys?' Jim's response was immediate, the content of it causing you to stand up so quickly that you fainted seconds after.

'Alex is gone.'
