Moriarty X Reader

Chapter 49

Jim's POV

(Y/n) had painted some strange swirls and a wilting flower on her walls.

Richard at this moment was being beaten almost to death by Moran because we both were wanting him dead. I told Sebastian to let him get infections in his wounds because he needs to suffer.

I was really worried about (Y/n). She was ordered bedrest by doctors and Moran, and I wasn't allowed to stay in her room for very long.

I was exhausted and it was about 2 in the morning when I hear (Y/n) crying, so I entered her room slowly.

"Love, it's going to be okay." I saw turning my head so she can see that I am not Richard. It breaks my heart she is scared when I walk in. It hurts.

"He was touching me and I can't make the feeling go away." She slurred most of her consonants while she was sobbing.

"I've got you." I said, laying with her, holding her close to me.

I heard her breathing slow back down and felt her relax as she started to fall asleep, and I was so exhausted in many ways I fell asleep too.

***Timeskip brought to you by the superbly talented guy of my dreams***

I woke up just at sunrise, and light started to gently stream into the room.
I sat up slowly and counted that I got a good 4-5 hours of sleep. More than I've had in months. I looked over at (Y/n) and she was sleeping peacefully. She hadn't been since Richard had her, but she is now. Did I make her feel safe? Was she really safe?

Its been proved she's not really safe, but I will not let her be hurt for me. It's not her fault that I love her.

I- love her.

I can see it all now. I love her, and that's why I am slowly killing my brother, it's also why I covered such distance in impossible time to take her back from Magnussen.

It's why both Magnussen and my brother attacked her. Its why I can't stick to my plans. I'm in love with her.

She loves me back, right? I believe so. I know she loves me. That's how Richard was able to break her so easily.

I've made her breakable. Why did I have to do that?

Did she make me breakable? I think she did. Do I care? I don't think I do.

I got out of her bed and left to get back to working.

I am in the middle of a mental game of war with my brother and damnit he's winning. I'm falling in love and he's used that against me and I can't fall back out.

How should I hurt Richard?

I know my next move. I'll beat him at this filthy game.
