30 day OTP challenge MorMor.
Day 1; Holding hands.
Jim wasn't too affectionate. Had never been. Sebastian, on the other hand, wasn't afraid of physical contact other than what they shared in bed. Sometimes he'd wrap an arm around his shoulders and press a kiss on Jim's dark hair, or at other times he'd slip two arms around the smaller man's waist just to hold him for a while.
But today had been different. Today, Jim had taken his sniper out for coffee which was usually an alibi to get Seb new clothes whenever he thought he needed it. With all the patience in the world, he'd try on the clothes, give a not-so-honest opinion ("Yes, Jimbo. I like the grey suit better, too.") and they could leave for the real coffee.
Today, Jim's gloved right hand gently took Seb's bare left hand. Sebastian wasn't surprised as he noticed Jim's hand was soft in his own hand. The Irishman would refuse doing things with his own hands so he'd temporarily use the sniper's.
What did surprise him was the movement itself; So gentle, so unlike Jim Moriarty.. Sebastian knew better than to ask; He was content with he way it was now.
"Let me see those hands, Sebby." Another time was when Jim mumbled and made his way over Sebastian who was laying flat on his back, a newspaper in his hands. He wasn't actually reading it, rather paying more attention to the criminal's smooth, catlike movements. When he had straddled Sebastian's lap, he lowered the newspaper so he could look at him but Jim immediately took it out of his grasp, laying it down on the coffeetable. "Wha' about 'em?" He asked warily as the smaller man on top of him took the sniper's hands in his own, bringing them to his lips to kiss the scars and fresh cuts softly but with his infamous grin.
Admittedly, Sebastian liked the rare moments where his Jim showed true affection and Jim holding the sniper's tough hands in his smaller, soft hands was another example.
Jim didn't answer the question. He just smiled and quietly held their fingers intertwined for the rest of the night. Just the two of them. The sniper and the consulting criminal.
