Jim Moriarty x Reader 2

Chapter 45

You woke up in the morning to jim up and about. You sat up, quickly pulling out your phone to check your messages. There were none.

".... James, I forgot to ask, is William okay? And where's Marcus...? How's he holding up without Alex?' You asked as you climbed out of bed worriedly. You'd been so caught up with your own emotions that you'd completely forgotten about the others. The poor boys must be destroyed... jim shrugged to himself as he did his tie.

"Williams pretty torn up, and Marcus is staying with him for a bit. That way they'll have each other for company and be safe at the same time." Jim hummed calmly in response, drawing a sigh from you. ... you should check on them... as if reading your thoughts however, jim simply shook his head.

"... let them rest. William was likely up all night. Marcus may be up and about, but in their own time." Jim said, and you sighed, nodding. He was right... William needed his own time, and Marcus... well... you had no idea what you thought about the kid right now. Part of you was mad at him, but you were mostly mad at yourself.... how could you have just walked away from Alex like that... he was alone, half dead, and probably absolutely petrified. You buried your face in your hands, trying to get it together. No.... jim said he had a plan. You needed to trust him..

"You alright, my dear~?" Jim asked, turning to you. You took a deep breath, forced a smile, and nodded. You were highly aware that Jim could see right through you, however it didn't matter. You just needed to calm down.

"I'll be fine... just need some time to process right now." You replied, going over to him and resting your head on his shoulder. Jim smiled, seeming to think for a moment.

".... if only William was in a well enough state of mind to make tea........"

"OKAY RIGHT??!? I thought I was a terrible person for thinking that!!!" You smiled over at jim, and he chuckled in response.

"... come on. Let's go out, get some tea. Won't be as good, but it'll be nice to get out and not have someone die for once~." Jim hummed and you slowly nodded, although you couldn't help but worry nonetheless.... it seemed like every single time you left the building, something bad happened. But... jim seemed pretty confident that this time would be different, so.... why the hell not.

William's POV:

William jolted up from his sleep, awakening from a nightmare. Damnit..

He regained his bearings but remained silent, so as not to wake Marcus or Ty. But, despite his efforts, Ty seemed to be already awake.

"Pssssst~!!" Ty whispered happily, peering over the sheets mysteriously. William stood from his chair where he'd spent the night, going over to him.

"Yes, Ty—? Something wrong-?" William asked in a semi worried tone. His concern was quickly combatted by Ty, who tacklehugged him down on the bed. William immediately blushed and squeaked in surprise, to which Ty burst out in laughter. Trying to keep quiet, William put a hand over Ty's mouth.

"Shhhh- Marcus is sleeping-!" William reminded him, his face flushed red. Jesus, Ty.

"Sorryyyyy— but look!!!! I'm all better!!!" Ty grinned; showing off his magically healed arms. William smiled slightly, looking down at him... he was.. so glad he was alive.

"Alright. I'm glad.. but Ty, you're going to have to stay in this room for now. Not sure why, but I'm assuming it's to do with the fact we can't risk Candy finding out you're alive." William explained, sitting up from the awkward position Ty had tackled him into. Ty nodded and smiled, sitting up as well.

"Good... I don't ever want to leave." He replied happily with a quiet laugh, William immediately flushed red and looked away.

"........" okay. Compose yourself.

William cleared his throat, before standing up.

"... Im glad you're feeling better Ty. .... really, I am. Don't know what I'd do without you." He admitted, sensing Ty smiling like heck from beside him without having to even look over. William could tell he was straining not to say something, although he couldn't quite figure out what.

Ty's POV:

.... Wowie, what Ty wouldn't give to tell William how much he loved him right now...
