Sebastian was usually elegant in his speech. Or, at least he didn't curse unless he had good reason. Being a university graduate and officer in the British Royal Army tended to call for that. Nevertheless, it was definitely Sebastian that announced their arrival with a confused, "What the ever-loving fu..."
Severin's(if you believe in him) reply, though comparatively softer it was, wasn't much more elegant. The soft, confused noise was drowned out by Sebastian's curse.
Though, it would be difficult to maintain decorum when walking in on your respective partners during an intimate moment. Richard's head whipped around, staring at the door in surprise. His cheeks were already becoming flushed and he had just been kissing his twin, sharing light nips and licks as he sat curled up beside Jim.
Jim's surprise was easier hidden, as he went from attentive brother to Moriarty in an instant. He stared he Moran twins down, as though daring them to say something rude, something to cause him to retaliate and when the didn't, Jim easily and silently took control of the room.
Until Richard spoke, voice soft, scared unlike Jim had heard it in years. "Sev...Severin," he mumbled, trying to come up with something to say. A plausible reason why he was kissing his brother and Severin shouldn't walk out of his life forever.
Thankfully, Jim took over, relieving his twin of any need to say anything. "Rich," he began as though it was just the pair of them, "Richie, my bunny, go on down to the café and get me a tea, will you?" Protect Richard; that was his main motive in that moment, protect him. Jim could handle Sebastian and Severin.
Richard looked as though he was about to argue, to say that maybe he should stay, help explain things because there was a lot to explain, but his words died on his lips with the stern look he received. He nodded and pulled away, standing. Head down, the younger of the two quickly made his exit, slipping between the blond twins.
As soon as the latch slipped into place, Jim was in his distant, utterly deadly, mindset. The one Richard rarely saw. He stared, daring the others to make a move and when they didn't, Jim started to speak, voice low and cold.
"That was exactly what it looked like," he began coolly, "I shouldn't hope I need to explain further what it is you just witnessed." Jim paused, offering a chance for questions. Neither of the Moran twins moved though, knowing better than to speak. "I'm not asking you to be okay with it. Only that that is how things are. Non-negotiable and completely between Richard and I. If you have any qualms, any objections, you're more than free to step down, though your privileges within this organization with be severely limited." Jim paused again, offering the information in short bursts for men to digest.
"If you use this to harm either of us, running won't save you," Jim shook his head, eyes dead with a small, indulgent smile playing across his lips, "I'll find you. I'll catch you and utterly destroy everything you hold dear. I won't stop until I want to. Death will be a welcome option." Perhaps it was a bit over the top, but oh, Jim always did love the theatrical.
It was now that Severin finally spoke, furrowing his brow. Richard was his, for the lack of a better word, boyfriend, after all. He was just the bodyguard that developed into something more, an easy feat considering the effect Richard had on nearly anyone he came in contact with. "He's happy with this, then?" Severin asked, waving a hand vaguely at the spot Richard had recently vacated, "he wants it? It's healthy for him?" There was no malice in his tone, just a restatement of the facts as he understood them.
Jim nodded after a moment, raising a brow at Severin's question and silently working out what the twin was working toward. "Loves it. You saw his face," he hummed.
Severin returned the nod, thinking over his options. Well, option really, because there was no way he could leave the twin willingly. Richard was too ingrained in his life.
Sebastian, dating the more dominant of the two, didn't need to guarantee Jim's safety before agreeing. If that was what Jim wanted, as long as they didn't spread anything to him, he didn't particularly care. The sniper set his gun bag in it's usual spot by the door and plopped down into a nearby armchair. The other Moran twin, knowing his position on the matter, took up residence in the opposite chair, awaiting Richard's return.
Satisfied that the boys were agreeable, at least for the moment, Jim spoke again. This time his tone was less deadly and more disinterested. "I don't particularly care what you two want to do with yourselves. If you want to fuck each other, be my guest. Richard's certainly been interested in that idea. If not, whatever. Not my problem." With that, Jim pulled his phone out and within minutes of sending the message, Richard had returned with four drinks in a paper drink tray.
Severin was the first on his feet, taking the drinks and setting them on the coffee table. He then place his hands on Richard, one at his waist, the other on his cheek. "Whatever makes you happy," he murmured in the tone that was normally reserved for their absolute private moments, "whatever you want, tell me and I'll make it happen, bunny." He caught Richard's lips in a slow kiss, only pulling away when he knew Richard would start to get breathless.
For his part, Richard was stunned into silence. He had fully expected questions, an argument, possibly even a dead body upon his return. That Severin has accepted his biggest secret so readily... Richard couldn't articulate his feelings. The brunette let Severin lead him to the couch and help him return to snuggling up beside Jim. It was only after the Moran twins had drinks properly sweetened and creamed did they join Richard beside Jim, one on either side. Sebastian quickly got lost in his phone, only paying enough attention to knead gently at the muscles in Jim's shoulders. Playing Moriarty always tensed him up. Severin was much more interactive, sharing pecks and whispers with Richard as the smallest of the four shared light kisses with his be-suited and very content twin.
