Something which has been in my head when i saw these two together, if you don't like Male/Male pairing don't read it. Hope you like it anyway :)


Murdoch sat at his desk chair remembering the failed attempt to transport Gillies to the noose.


Flashback

Gilles panted below him as Murdoch fist started to feel sore he could feel he had cut his fist on the harsh gravel of the train track

"You won" he panted "for the last time this is it for us, doesn't that make you just a little sad"

Murdoch looked at the man and shook his head "No"

"Not even a tinsy bit" Gilles held the expression of almost longing and pleading with Murdoch "Come now detective, you and I share something special, you know that"

Murdoch barely had time to react to the shock of James Gilles, the man who had attempted to kill him, Julia and Crabtree, had pulled him down and kissed him

End of flashback


"You alright Murdoch"

He looked up to find Inspector Brackenreid looking at him in concern

"Fine sir" Murdoch shuffled some papers before standing up

"Take the rest of the evening off Murdoch" Murdoch was about to protest but was cut off "That's an order, even you bright sparks need to rest"

Murdoch smiled gratefully "Thank you sir"

The inspector nodded before calling Reeves into his office

Murdoch entered his home with a deep sigh he walked slowly up the stairs and placed his hat on his bed he looked to the corner of the room and stopped short

"Hello again"

Murdoch didn't know how to respond he just simply looked at Gilles in shock

"You have a lot of nerve Gilles" Murdoch moved forward "Your coming with me to the station"

Gilles laughed before pushing Murdoch away and punching him in the face

"Thanks but no thanks, I don't want to die"

Gilles hovered over Murdoch and grinned

"Well isn't this a piece of daja vu, except the tables are reversed"

Gilles stood up and held a hand out for him he stood up without the extended hand and walked backwards until he was a safe distance from Gilles

James placed Murdoch's hat on his head with a tilt, Murdoch observed the man to see he was clean shaven and properly dressed, he did however keep his hair the same like he did when he saw him last

"What are you doing here Gilles?"

James shrugged "Been thinking about that night, I saw you jump off that bridge, tell me did you do it to retrieve me and send me to the gallows, or was there a tiny part of you which just wanted to see me safe"

"Don't be absurd, I wanted you at the gallows to finally give us all a bit of piece, Julia was beside herself…"

"Ahhhh Julia, I still maintain I did you both a favour, I saw you two kissing the other night when you worked out the robbery"

Murdoch's blood ran cold and Gilles smiled

"O yes Murdoch, I've been keeping an eye on you" he walked towards Murdoch with slow deliberate movements Murdoch walked backwards until he was pressed against the wall

"Have you been thinking about anything else that night Murdoch?"

Murdoch remained quiet he knew what Gilles was asking but he didn't want to say anything, his faith would say the feeling he had felt were wrong, but how could he deny the fact he wanted more. He had never felt anything like that with Julia or any other woman not even any man not that he had been kissed by any other man. But James Gilles brought that out of him the urge to be reckless and brash.

"No, and if you want to literally save your neck I suggest you leave"

Gilles smiled "You can't lie to me Murdoch, I know what you felt" Gilles looked him up and down, grinning "Believe me, I felt it" he whispered he pulled Murdoch into another kiss before jumping out of the window. Murdoch raced to the window but only saw a carriage hastily moving away from his home. He shut the window and realized Gilles had taken his hat.
